Red Hot Chili Peppers Rock From All Sides in 'Look Around' -- Video Premiere

Red Hot Chili PeppersWarner Bros.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers' new video for 'Look Around' is sure to get your head spinning with fresh funk jams, shaving cream fountains and some vintage Peppers antics. The Robert Hales-directed video features the band in adjoining rooms, rocking out in their very own ways.

'Look Around' begins with Anthony Kiedis noodle-dancing through the Chili crew's different worlds. A blue-haired Flea and his lady friend shake to to the chugging bass line while drummer Chad Smith works on a pesky clog in a spacious bathroom. The Red Hot newbie, Josh Klinghoffer, who replaced veteran guitarist John Frusciante, chills out in a bare studio with just a tiny lamp by his side.

"I can say that the band were great to work with -- real gentlemen -- and it was a genuinely collaborative process," director Hales tells Spinner. "They were all extremely involved creatively. Each room loosely represented the band members' personalities, so almost all the props and artwork in the rooms came from their personal collections.

All four rooms were filmed simultaneously in the round. Instead of having a drawn-out day of shooting, the band completed the video within four whole takes which, according to Hales, is "very impressive." "They had a very clear idea of how they wanted to perform and they nailed it. All in all it was a fantastic experience and I'm very proud of what we created."

Check out the video for 'Look Around' below. The Red Hot Chili Peppers will hit the road in March to promote their newest LP 'I'm With You.'

Too many haters, if you don't like what RCHP are doing, why do you watch they're videos? I doubt most of you are currently touring the world. Job well done RCHP, you are still and will always remain the number 1 band in my world. Thanks for making life even more enjoyable then it already is!
