Watch Chad Smith Play Drums with a Bar Band in Australia to a Crowd of 17.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers are touring Australia right now, and drummer Chad Smith took advantage of a night off by hitting a joint called the Cherry Bar in Melbourne.
But instead of just taking in the local band that was playing, Chad ended up behind the kit for two AC/DC covers: "If You Want Blood (You Got It)" and "Up to My Neck in You".
That night's audience, by the way . . . 17 people. (!!!)
Seth O'Donnell, a drummer from another band that was playing that night, lent Chad his drumsticks. And Chad BROKE THEM. (His Instagram post includes a picture of the broken sticks.)

David Draiman Calls Out Joe Rogan For Jewish Comments.
Disturbed rocker David Draiman is not afraid of using social media to say what’s on his mind. Draiman challenged Bieber to a “smoke-off.” But now, Draiman has gotten a bit more serious by calling out podcaster Joe Rogan for what the rocker believes are anti-Semitic comments.
On his show “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Rogan seemed to defend Rep. Ilhan Omar’s tweet that caused a stir recently involving Israel. Omar suggested the US’s backing off Israel was “all about the Benjamins.” Rogan seemed to concur, saying, “She’s talking about money. It’s not an anti-Semitic statement… You know the idea that Jewish people are not into money is ridiculous. That’s like saying Italians aren’t into pizza. It’s f***ing stupid.”
This did not sit well with Draiman, who is Jewish and has been very vocal against anti-Semitism, who immediately chimed in to challenge Rogan. “Et tu, Joe Rogan,” he tweeted. “Listen, if you’d like to have an opportunity to talk to someone who can explain why perpetuating the stereotype that Jews love money more than any other race/creed/religion leads to dangerous and disastrous consequences… I’m around. I’d love to talk.”
