Screencap from Video

A brief video of Anthony signing things in New York has been posted online; he signs assorted records and memorabilia and there’s a brief exchange about Anthony playing basketball after someone asks him a question about it:

Thanks to Andjelka for sourcing this.

It’s also the earliest RHCP magazine cover featuring Mr. Kiedis and the band that we’ve seen- if anyone has anything earlier (or any other magazines) they would like to share with us, we’d love to hear from you!

Many thanks to R!ch for sharing his magazine with us

ROLLING AHEAD
“Anthony Kiedis the lead singer of RHCP, who will be coming soon to Israel in September, spends his free time growing a Charlie Chapplin moustache and riding his scooter.”

Many thanks to Shalhevet for sharing this and providing the translation.

I was contacted by the person who owns the company which manufactured the rings that Anthony Kiedis is wearing. I’d always assumed it was one large ring but in fact, Anthony is wearing several rings (and knowing this, made me look at the ring carefully and you can actually see that- have no idea, why I’ve not spotted that before… ).

The ring in question is the Cartel model by Suemi Designs; it’s been slightly revamped since the time that Anthony wore it and the new version is a little different but more details are HERE if anyone is interested in finding out more.

As for the help wanted, no, we’re not trying to find someone to snare a ring on Anthony’s finger (although I’m sure there would be no shortage of offers on that one!) but the ring’s designer has contacted me (how I found out about the ring) asking if I know who the photographer of this photo is as they would like to contact them to get permission to use the image. If anyone can help, please can you let us know?

Anthony Kiedis: RHCP Hall of Fame Induction

Rock N Roll Hall of Fame: An information page with a photo gallery has been set up along with 4 really high quality videos of the event – both of the backstage press meeting and the actual ceremony

RHCP Inducted into the Edge

RHCP Inducted into 1o2.1 The Edge Hall of Fame

Just like buses, inductions seem to run  in multiples! A few days after the Red Hot Chili Peppers were inducted into the Cleveland Hall of Fame, they were inducted into Canadian radio station,  1o2.1 The Edge’s Hall of Fame as well! Another photo gallery with two videos of the event has also been added and can be seen HERE

Anthony Kiedis: Last Night I Swam with a  Mermaid

On Sunday, April 22, 2012 Anthony attended the book launch of   ‘Last Night I Swam with a Mermaid’ by Kimberly (story) & Michael Muller (photographs) in L.A. The book was launched with a ‘Earth Day’ fete with loads of children’s activities and Anthony took his son, Everly Bear, along with him to join in the fun!

The book’s theme is about promoting the enviroment and respecting the planet and is obviously based on the importance of the ocean to humanity. Some of the profits raised from the book are to be donated to Philippe Cousteau’s EarthEcho International. More details & sales link HERE

Normally I don’t post paparazzi photos of Everly with Anthony in order to respect his privacy but this was a public event so I have included one on this occasion. 

If you want to find out more about the Earth Day event e.g. expected guests & activities on offer, there are details on the Evolutionary Media Group website

Anthony’s New Wheels! 5th May 2012

Looks like there was a shortage of taxis in NYC and Anthony had to borrow Everly’s scooter to get about! There are a couple more very similar photos of Anthony freewheelin’ on the sidewalk & they can be viewed on Star Feine

Sorry I have no idea what the text says (any translations/overview would be gratefully received) but there is a review with set list and photos of RHCP at the Summer Sonic Festival as well as an article about the band.
