[cherryorchards]

oh man! i1m used to fusion/jazz drummers and all i knew about todays rock musicians is that they just hit hard and/or fast with no sense of dynamics (especially on the snare) what so ever, this Chad Smith sure proved me wrong.

[Mayfinder]

Chad Smith has a great personality in both music and life.

when chad smith and will ferrel were at a party, will ferrel approached him and said "you're very handsome"

^ true story

[BejaggeryProd]

That is Will Ferrell

[dm6testa777]

chad smith,russ miller,clyde stubblefield, buddy rich,and the legend dennis chambers are real drummers not travis barker or joey jordison they band made them not there drum skills

[moneyquickeasy]

[Kayrotsu]

Chad Smith; Plays many different types of drum styles.

Travis Barker; Plays Latin and Punk Rock Both are great drummers, but Chad just has more of a unique and diverse style. Listen to Bombastic Meatbats.

[SantaSeeker181]

That dude is gettin' lod, but he will NEVER die. Sweet sex-funk drummer...

[biiiiirdman]

I LOVE Chad Smith. I love this too

youtube.com/watch?v=WgdjDgX784­g

[panhead55]

Travis barker? Didn't he host The Price Is Right?

[13haydn14]

Seriously?! Another fucking Travis Barker argument? He's not the only drummer that ever lived!! He's mediocre at best get fucking over it!!!

[guitarcrazy71]

Just a little fun fact: the reason that Flea said "Is that your breakfast?" is because before Chad auditioned, one of Flea's friends told him: "I know a guy from Detroit that eat's drums for breakfast!"

[SmileyFace131213]

@guitarcrazy71 Goddamnit that was gonna be my fun fact!!! Lol, did you check wiki too? :P

[bbaass1234]

Chad is a great drummer and a funny dude!

He is the heartbeat of one of the great bands

check out this solo from a huge Chad fan and the author of

"The Book of Funk Beats- grooves for snare, bass and hihat"

search:

"DRUM SOLO IN 3 MOVEMENTS"

on YouTube

[c0d3x001]

i can seriously believe that anthony was laughing his --- off... i was just doing the exact same thing while watching this movie xD

[SublimeOwnage]

Will Ferrell looks like Chad so much it's not even funny.

[guitarblazer4]

@SublimeOwnage Will Farrell and Chad Smith are also the same height!

[ModelOrange]

HAHA, in Anthony Kiedis's book he talks about how when Chad Smith's friend called to set up the audition she said he played drums for breakfast, which is why Flea must have asked him that.

[miker12892]

hes in that band, Red Hot Will Ferrell Peppers, right?

[Creeveyable]

he doesn't look like will ferrel... will ferrel looks like him!!!

but he has the same sense of humor as will ferrel!!!

[sourboydrummer]

"this guys kinda weird" ha ha

[RyRobb813]

Why is that interviewer so uncomfortable with the sock on the dick comments? It's the drummer from the Chili Peppers you're talking to...there's a good chance that that's gonna come up.

[NeilJillett1996]

"Sup, is that your breakfast!?" Gotta love flea. Socks on my dick.. :P

[FUZZYSHAM333]

@NeilJillett1996 because that was his reputation that anthony heard from someone and then told flea, i guess chad had no idea thats what his rep was

[LiteOfDae]

"Chili Peppers - The guys with the socks on their dicks" LOL

[ManStyle5]

[g3orgepl]

OMG he is soooooooooo funny and cool.

[biftek354]

[METALUPYOURBUM]

I KNOW!

[WrongFuckedOverrated]

[weeblum91]

Is that right

[evanator93baby]

did you know will Farrel is his brother separated from birth!

[jamessimonb]

2:10 So, is that your BREAKFAST??

Chad is so funny!!!

[TheArcadium]

the joke is that the one who told rhcp about chad told them that he "ate his drums for breakfast", the euphemism meaning he was a kick ass drummer.

[Psychoninja2021]

he said he has a brother xD

nah im kidding but hes really fucking good

[JasonSOSB]

Chad Smith and Will Farrell are the same guy! Explain to me why you never see them together....

[iBanez7rocker]

good point! i always thought they look like twins. in the chicken foot vid on the tonite show, hes wearing a shirt that says "i am not will ferrell"

[Drummerboy458]

so true

[MadnessToMyEars]

Oh my god yes. there is someone else who thinks they look exactly the same.

[squealmeister]

He totally sounds like he's in the mafia.lol

[fruhotchiliman]

haha chad is so funny! i think hey the funniest pepper of all! but all the peppers are great people to talk with and well i think theyre just as normal as you can be! if I had a chance to meet at least one of them i would never erver miss it!

[devdev941]

best god damn drummer in my opinion :D

[JaskaJunior]

listen to neil peart and dave weckl

[filippinoman]

"This is fuckin aahhhhljsafoej and he's like holy shit look at this guy" LOL

[mattcribbin]

He really seems to have improved over the years.

[dirocco999]

thats so cool! i read about his audicion in scar tissue, and its interesting to hear chads side of the story after hearing anthony's-----chad left out the part that he was an hour late and the rest of the guys were really pissed at him lol :-) but he showed them!

[RedHotChiliZephyrs]

yeah, and i just realised why flea said "Is that your breakfast?" cause in scar tissue they were told that chad eats drums for breakfast

[sinelsuelo23]

how cool is this man?!!!

[mayhemlee]

chad's the coolest guy in the band, the most real.

anthony's such a dick-----i always wanted to meet anthony b/c of his lyrics and i remember when i had the chance, john was the only one to sign autographs (By the Way tour).......anthony just bolted onto the bus, and there were 4 fans, i shit you not, 4 of us maybe 5 or 6.

[drummaboy65]

that's a cool hat! i want one.

[luciealie]

OK, take that hat, i take this guy! ;-)

[MyFatPanda]

he's the reason why i've become a drummer.. ;)

[RustyMobile]

Dave Grohl was the reason I became a drummer. Chad Smith is the reason I continue to be a drummer :)

[dannyg120]

You need better influences...

[akirajamal]

like who, neil peart and dave weckl?

[adozenlies97]

does any1 else think chad smith looks like will ferrel

[isoscelespopsicle]

i think chad smith looks more like will ferrel than will ferrel.

[tysweetdrums]

Im afraid you right

[webbski10I]

Original point of view.

[crash2794]

i always have for sho...haha

[johnnychipcookie]

YES!!

[crazzyman2422]

Listen to stadium arcadium. The beat. try it if you play drums. listen to it. not easy!

[Tomiman91]

I really LOVE this man...he is Incredible...Hes the real drummer!!! I watched this video 3 times in a row:D...I love him more than I did any one of my girlfriends :D...Sry Girls

[nickfleischer]

Will Farrrel!!! ahhhhhhhhh

[78jw]

I gota say this but if they make a film or comedy skit with the chili peppers will ferrall must play him there like clones

[Malosovich]

I get tired just watching him,

[wayne1515]

i will be learning drums soon any tips

thanks

[tapirdrummer]

Stay away from Travis Barker. Peace and good drummin'.

[HunterDay10]

thats kind of interesting. why do you say that tapid?

[rosyec]

because Travis is not a good drummer at all. XDD there are so many drummers that are better and more skilled than him, like....... Chad Smith for example. =)

[KiloHoplite]

@rosyec Chad is the bee's knees, but Travis is no slouch, the guy keeps great time and plays with power. I have respect for both...

but more Chad lol

[idrumkingdom223]

@rosyec what makes a drummer better? Bcuz Travis opened a door of music totally unopened and untouched by any who came before him. So really what makes a drummer better, think about it before you talk so much shit.

[markuscc]

@idrumkingdom223 Are you for real? Are you really trying to imply that Travis Barker is some sort of revolutionary and unique drummer? He plays punk drums that sound like every other punk band in the history of punk music. Anybody who would even compare Travis Barker to somebody like Chad Smith knows absolutely nothing about music.

[jafrocubic]

@idrumkingdom223 YOU......ARE......A.......DOUC­HE!

The door you're talking about, is that the one he opened when he decided to do an MTV reality show with some playboy model? Yes, you're right, no other "punk" musician had ever opened that door. Fuckin' moron!

[Chriz0190]

@rosyec Travis Barker is a good drummer haha, He was in a marching band, he's great at pop punk and rap / rnb. I'd love to see you do better. It's just people like Chad Smith are professional and great at every genre and rhythmicly good. They're exceptional. Travis is a great drummer.

[EA369]

@Chriz0190 He's a good drummer, no doubt, and I have respect for him as a fellow drummer and that he's doing his own thing. But I've seen the guy live a few times, listened to alot of his stuff, and he is overrated. People make him out to be this drumming God when he's not. But outside of the drumming community he's one of the most well known drummers out there.

[dm6testa777]

@rosyec you r so right barker got famous because of a band not his drumming skills thank u for clearing that up

[apples2apple]

@rosyec Travis is a great drummer. Chad Smith is just a hell of alot better!

[Shaun2Prawn]

@rosyec Travis Barker IS a good drummer, actually, not the best but he's good. how can you actually compare all these drummers when they all play different styles and genres.

[musicmadman1]

@Shaun2Prawn Well, he can play 16ths pretty fast, does that make him good?

[fuzzz182]

@rosyec yeah because 'not good drummers at all XDD' really don't get anywhere in the music industry huh

[PearlTester]

hahah best piece of advice i've ever read!!!

[ANIMALLOVERSnr1]

i use 5 duck drums & one buballow schack

[acdcrocker2009]

i use a two racks and two floors. single bass.

[b2baller4ak]

that's quite the odd drumset he's playing...it's missing the middle tom, but it has the small and floor. interesting set up...

[apterus]

No its not, if you knew anything about drumming you would know that it is one of the most common setups a drummer can have...

[MasterFunkFlo]

hahaha, owned

[ChrisOakleyDrums]

Wrong...imo its the best setup a drummer can have =] The extra middle tom is just unnecassary, unless ur like a metal drummer that is :s

[bertiemycat]

i can relate to this kinda because im from england i just love all of the bands out of the usa especially the chilis

[rockero94]

Cool hat, man.

[RedHotChilliPeppers]

love his outfit

[BitchezNBlastbeatz]

Lol I'm so happy I'm not the only person who thinks that he looks like Will Ferrel :D

[edd562]

he often is credited comperison to him

[thefuckestuppest]

that girl sounds like shes enjoying that too much =p

[PhatPhunk]

Will Ferrell on drums! lol.. On a serious note, I think he's a great drummer. Definitely one of the best out there..

[Rigerdaby]

So true, he is just so solid and is a Total Drummer (the King of One Kick ATM) i want Will Ferrell to do a Comedy thing about him

[guitardude1230]

Chad is awesome. He kinda looks like Will Ferrel....hmmm.

[NoLineOnMyHorizon]

Chad Rocks!!!

[Moog167]

When I first saw Chad Smith I thought I saw Will Farrell playing the drums....

[stupidsh1t]

The story of him auditioning for the Red Hot Chili Peppers... it's mentioned in Anthony Kiedis' autobiography, "Scar Tissue".

[501W]

great guy! great drummer!

[cristian2001]

SO TAKIN BREAK FAST? XDDD

[CountLuku]

I never realised how funny Chad is. Compared to the other Chili Peppers, I don't know anything about Chad...

[glynt123]

CHADS A MACHINE!!!

way underated i think.

[fallloftroy]

I agree, I think he's highly misunderstood also.

[Jakersoxas]

what the hell is the interview when chad says that last bit?

[vegadomis32988]

i think CHAD SMITH's IMAGE IS NOTHING LIKE WILL FERREL!... enough said

[bendinggreenvans]

I think they were refering to his face not his clothes :P he looks exactly like will ferrell, I saw 3 of the chillis play this one off show in melbourne just jamming, and I said to my mum, chad's the guy who looks like will ferrell, and everyone around me just went "ohhhh yeaaaaah" and totally laughed and eurinated every where coz they were so excited that they'd finally seen the true identityof will ferrell's twin brother :)

[josianneRHCPinlove]

I agree with you. And Chad is much more handsome than Will Ferrel, more talented, and funnier, of course!

[AloneWithMemories]

awesome interview :) Chad is a funny guy
