Red Hot Chili Peppers have revealed that the working title for their first album since 2005’s Stadium Arcadium is possibly the worst of all time. The album has the working title of Dr. Johnny Skinz’s Disproportionately Rambunctious Polar Express Machine-head.
Uh huh, you read correctly. According to front man Anthony Kiedis, the band came across this tongue twister when a mate dropped by the recording studio. “He was reminiscing about one of his legendary acid trips, and told us that he had been playing a sold-out show to the planets and moons, and his number-one hit was, well, that title,” Kiedis ventured. “We found it so funny that we told him for as long as the album was under the radar, that that would be our nickname for it.”
He concedes, however, that this might not be the title once it’s released. The band are finishing up the sessions with legendary producer Rick Rubin, who produced their 1991 breakthrough Blood Sugar Sex Magik.
