During the band's recent hiatus, flea bass player jazz trumpet himself to study the University of Southern California, music theory and composition as well as teaching himself the piano, which do you compose tracks for their latest album to change their approach.

He said: "I wrote music on piano which is a different approach for us. I didn't play piano much before but on this record I composed on the piano and so did [new guitarist] Josh [Klinghoffer].

"When you write on the piano, you write rhythm, bass and harmony and reinterpret it with a rock band.

"We'd never done anything like that before - it had always come from a guitar and bass and drums."

The band in which singer and drummer Chad Smith, Anthony Keidis are so successful their new approach to songwriting found the upcoming tenth album, 'I'm With You' for a great wealth of material, and had to cut it down.

Anthony said: "There was an absurd wealth of musical ideas and if we lived in a different time and place we could have put out a double or triple record.

"Writing songs wasn't an issue. It was getting rid of them that was difficult."
