Fucking idiot

when i woke up this morning
i was was confronted with the news that our record has been
leaked to
the internet
it does not come out til may 9 but now it has leaked
and not that i know alot about this kind of thing
but i guess now it is possible to down load it for free if
you want
well
that's not very nice
if you down load it now off one of these file sharing sites
you will be getting a pale imitation of the record
it will be of the poor sound quality of the technique they
used to
get it on there
and that will break my heart
it will break john frusciante's heart
it will break anthony kiedis's heart
and it will break the heart of chad smith
yes, we worked for a year and a half to make the epic record
of our
lives
and it is sad to me for the business reasons of course
i think we are selling something really cool and we put all
we had
into it, 28 songs, 2 hours of the best that we can offer
and i think it is a fair deal for everyone
and for people to just steal a poor sound quality version of
it for free
because some asshole stole it and put it on the internet
is sad to me
but, equitable business reasons aside
the thing that really bums me out is
we worked so hard, and so thoughtfully, all of us, for so
long
to make this record sound as warm and full from top to
bottom
as was possible
we spent day and night for a year making sure every little
sound was
just right
that they were all put together in the most beautiful way we
could
we did not leave a stone unturned in doing that work
i can not put in words how much this record, stadium
arcadium, means
to us
how sacred the sound of it is to us
and how many sleepless nights and hardworking days we all
had
thinking about how to make it be the best sounding thing we
could
and now, for someone to take it and put it out there with
this poor
sound quality
it is a painful pill for us to swallow
let me tell you
this bums all of us out
and i know that, as sensitive as john frusciante is about
sound
the idea of anyone getting and he

the idea of anyone getting and hearing this thing that way
will devastate him
for people to not hear the work the way we meant it to be
will really hurt him deep inside
and all of us will hurt

yes, it is stealing from us, and that is lame
everyone has to live with their own conscience on that one
let it be your guide
but to take a version that has been defiled sound wise
a version in which some idiot has taken our year and a half
of soul
baring work and pissed all over it
that will break our hearts

sincerely,

flea

Why does he keep saying the thing about "a year and a
half
"? As if you'd be quite happy to steal something
that only took a year to make, but come on people, this was
a year and a half (that's 18 months), I mean, that's
too much isn't it, to take for free. Think, a year.... and a
half.

I dunno. Presumably the audiophile snob also wants to bar
people from taping the CD when they buy it, so they can
listen to it on their old car stereo?

I quite like the new single.

I bet the rest of the band cringed when they read Flea's
little emo rant. Sounds a bit funny from him, the violent
goon from the Big Lebowski, as I knew him before. :D

do you think so? isn't a little naive to think your record
won't get leaked?

I think most bands see the premature ejaculation of their
work on the internet, as annoying, but nothing more than
that.

Flea isn't as stupid as you'd think from reading the open
letter above.

For some reason, his "sadness" about the leaking of the
record has been picked up by the media. As a result, it has
equalled an awful lot of free advertising for the new
release.

Of course, it could just be he never intended that and that
the press are merely picking up on it because it's so novel
for a musician to make a big hoo-ha about what is actually
very common and generally seen as annoying, rather than akin
to raping children as he seems to think.

As earthleakage says, the Chilis haven't exactly been "model
citizens" themselves over the years. It seems a bit rich to
slate people DLing an album before it's out considering some
of the things they've done.
