Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith has shared an awesome photo of Eddie Vedder taking a wine shower onstage in Rio De Janeiro. Smith and his RHCP bandmate Josh Klinghoffer joined Pearl Jam onstage to cover Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World” and it appears that Vedder had some wine fun during the performance! Smith called it a ‘Rio wine shower.’
The Chili Peppers and Pearl Jam have a friendship dating back 27 years when they first toured together. Earlier this month, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith responded to a challenge from Steve Gleason in a new video. “This is Chad Smith from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, this is for you Steve. The ironic thing is I don’t like Chili Peppers, I’m not a fan of a hot pepper. I’m calling out my buddies Will Ferrell and Mike McCready to do the same.” He then ate the red hot chili pepper and seemed disgusted.
Smith also tweeted, “Steve Gleason I (reluctantly) accept your #ALSPepperChallenge @ALSTDI has raised over $500K thru the challenge. I challenge you @MikeMcCreadyPJ & Will Ferrell @funnyordie to do the same! @TeamGleason.”
Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready then responded, “OK, @RHCPchad and Steve, you do realize I have Crohn’s disease and this might cause something bad. However, I support @TeamGleason and recognize the relative differences in ailments. Stay tuned…”
