Metallica drummer has accepted the Will Ferrell-Chad Smith drummer challenge.

A reunion with John Frusciante helped the group rebound late in the '90s.

If you didn't stay awake to watch the drum-off, between Will Ferrell and Chad Smith, on 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,' then you missed one of the greatest nights in late-night history.

Drummer Chad Smith is outraged, and a little sickened, over a recently released report stating that the CIA employed a music loop featuring the Red Hot Chili Peppers as part of its interrogation of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.

The FCC has received complaints about the Red Hot Chili Peppers' exposed nipples during the Super Bowl halftime show.

Will Ferrell is a famous comedy actor, while Chad Smith is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame drummer for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The question posed by many alert fans who've noticed their uncanny resemblance over the years is: Which one is which?

Red Hot Chili Peppers and Chickenfoot drummer Chad Smith has finally had enough of someone else cashing in on his fame and good looks -- and he's taking strong action to make it stop.

We've heard what countless fans, pundits, and commenters have to say about the Red Hot Chili Peppers miming during the Super Bowl halftime show, and we've gotten an explanation from Flea. But what does Axl Rose think about all this?

Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea has issued an open letter admitting that the band wasn't playing their instruments live during Sunday's Super Bowl halftime show, and explaining why they chose to accept the gig despite their views against pre-taped performances.

Good one, Chad Smith! You got us.
