Chad recently spoke to Billboard.com about the projects he's been working on. Nothing to do with the Peppers. This should kill rumours.

We worked really hard on [Stadium Arcadium] and we toured for a year-and-a-half, pretty much straight," Smith says. "So we took a look at each other in September in England, when we played our last shows, and we were like, 'You know what? I love you guys, but we all kinda need a break,' and we said, 'Let's reconvene in one year.' We see each other, go to Lakers games and stuff, but Chili Pepper-wise we don't have any plans for any recording or any concerts or anything.

Currently Chad's project is Chickenfoot, an all-star group fronted by Sammy Hagar along with former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony and guitarist Joe Satriani.

Also Chad's created a band called Bombastic Meat Balls !! This is an instrumental group described as a funk - jazz odyssey. They will play the following tour dates in Japan.

1 Apr 2008 Live House enn,Sendai, Japan
22 Apr 2008  STB139, Tokyo, Japan
