Red Hot Chili Peppers have been taking a page from the Foo Fighters playbook when it comes to creating a media circus around the release of the new album. With only one month to go,  the rhythm section sat down to talk 'I'm With You' with Mark Hoppus...Yes, Blink-182's Mark Hoppus. Check it out.

We've all seen band interviews on TV or the internet before. Sometimes they're good, other times we get to hear some stiff ask our favorite musicians all the wrong questions (You know, the ones they've already answered a million times that nobody cares about). A very cool and unique strategy comes to us courtesy of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blink-182, and Fuse TV: Artists interviewing artists. This is by no means a new concept, but is one that I've always been a fan of.

Here is Blink-182's Mark Hoppus talking to Flea and Chad Smith (A.K.A. Not Will Ferrell)  about RHCP's new album, somersaults, and Flea being the second best bass player of all-time.
