I really hope they put out some new stuff soon. I've listened to pretty much all of what I have a lot, and need more. I suppose I could just buy some of the other CD's though....

From Wikipedia:

Anthony Kiedis told Rolling Stone in an interview published May 20, 2008 that the Red Hot Chili Peppers are "disbanded for the moment." Following the last leg of the tour promoting Stadium Arcadium, the band members have been on a break. Kiedis attributes this to the band being worn out from their years of nonstop work since Californication. Kiedis explained that he is currently preoccupied with taking care of his new son and possibly creating a short television series called "Scar Tissue" which is set to basically be a recap of his book, while Flea is experimenting with new musical ideas, Frusciante is continuing his solo career, and Chad Smith is in Japan working with a jazz band. Smith is also currently working with Sammy Hagar, Joe Satriani, and Michael Anthony in the supergroup Chickenfoot. The band plans to remain on hiatus for "a minimum of one year." However, Kiedis has stated that he is eager to start thinking about new material.[59]

Nevertheless, band members appear divided as to what they want for the future of the band. According to Smith, the group was to get together to discuss their next album tentatively in September 2008.[60] Smith went on to say that "some of our best stuff is yet to come. For some reason we have a special thing, the four of us. We've changed the chemistry of the band a couple of times. When John [Frusciante] rejoined for the second time, we were like: 'This is a special chemistry we have.'"[60] However, Flea enrolled at USC fall 2008 and stated that the Red Hot Chili Peppers are on a "major hiatus", the duration of which will be "two years". According to Flea, "We just needed two years. We had our noses to the grindstones so hard for so long. We needed to get away from it and get a fresh perspective on things." He also stated that they have no tenth album planned, yet he has also stated that he is very anxious to release more music. In early 2009, Frusciante stated that: "the official news is just that there's no plans to do anything and we're on a hiatus of an indefinite length. [...] There's just absolutely no plans to do anything and, that's it. Yeah, we worked really hard for ten years and, you know, there's other things in life."[61]
