To commemorate
their induction this year into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, multi-platinum
rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers will release a very special
digital-only EP, entitled We Salute You, on May 1st via
Warner Bros. Records. It features six songs from previous Hall of Fame
inductees, all of whom have influenced the band musically: The Ramones, Iggy
& The Stooges, Neil Young, David Bowie, The Beach Boys, and Dion and the
Belmonts. Please see below for full track-listing.
Five of the six tracks have never been available
digitally. "A Teenager In Love" was released as an international
maxi-single; "Havana Affair" was released as a 7"-single and
featured on the compilationWe're A Happy Family: A Tribute To The Ramones;
"Search & Destroy" has only appeared on a now out-of-print
maxi-CD, "I Get Around" was first played during Brian Wilson's 2005
MusiCares induction speech; and "Suffragette City" was previously
only available as a B-side to the band's single "Aeroplane."
"Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" was recorded live during Red Hot
Chili Peppers' current tour supporting their album I'm With You.
It will also be available via their website www.redhotchilipeppers.com.
Red Hot Chili Peppers were inducted by Chris Rock at the
27th annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, which took place
