(RTTNews) - With a new album, I'm With You, due out August 30 and a new guitarist, Josh Klinghoffer, in the bands ranks, there are some 'huge differences' between the Red Hot Chili Peppers now and the band that last released Stadium Arcadium in 2006, according to bassist Flea.
"Well there are a few huge differences [between this album and the last]," Flea told Stereogum.com. "The number one difference is John Frusciante left the band, and he was a huge part of our creative process for a long time."Flea continued that Frusciante leaving the fold almost broke the band up.
"We took two years off from the band during that time he left, and I didn't think I'd want to continue the band without him. A big difference is having Josh Klinghoffer as our guitar player, because he's a much different guitar player than John."
He went on to tell what people can expect of the new lineup: "We still sound like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but it's really a lot different."
