message: Can anyone add the citations of the collabrations with Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Billy Preston? I own the album myself, yet I can't find anything saying they have anything to do with the songs (I do have to say I can recognise Rodriguez-Lopez's style, but that's not sufficient).
:Look in the middle of the album-booklet. Below the pic of Anthony and Flea in suits with bare feet, they are both credited.
::I don't know who the last person was, they didn't separate their post or sign it. However, if you need internet citations, the official site has verification here:
::Omar- http://www.redhotchilipeppers.com/discog/?v=so&a=1&id=183
::Preston- http://www.redhotchilipeppers.com/discog/?v=so&a=1&id=203
::You have to click on the drop box near the middle of the page and change it to Artist Comments though. Also, on the site it says he's credited for piano but the booklet maintains Clavenette, and on the commentary video for Warlocks, Anthony and Flea mention the Clavenette, and you can clearly hear the difference.

It says so right at the beginning of the article.
At the beginning of the article it says the album leaked April 30 then at the end it says it leaked May 1. I'm pretty sure the date was April 30 but one of those needs to be deleted cause they're contradicting.

message: Does anyone know if this album is copy-protected or not? I know the RHCP greatest hits was so i assume this is too? thanks
Well, it got leaked, so I doubt it, you know? 
I realise it was leaked on the internet early but there are few albums these days which aren't leaked onto the net early. What i mean is has the actual album been released with the copy-protection system on the CD's???  
There are also few albums with copy protection, which is quite nice seeing as I like to store most of mine on the computer in case something happens to them.  I have them, I don't think they're copy protected.
-It isn't copy protected. End of story.
I think Stadium Arcadium IS copy protected because my current and previous copy automatically eject when accessed on my computer. However, back in the day I could rip it fine? Hmm... --86.167.7.214 (talk) 17:22, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Yeah, I was watching their commentary on their songs and came here to check out what a clavinet was, I was quite intrigued because Anthony and Flea said that it was quite the weird instrument and I didn't think a clarinet was all that weird.

message: I am one of the luckiest people to get the awesome brand new 'Stadium Arcadium Limited Special Edition' from Virgin Megastore in the UK (I bought two, one for me, one for my friend for his birthday). (Damn, cost me a £100/$188.56!!!)
I just had a quick search on the internet, and I cannot believe that there is a Wikipedia article about it. Anyway, just for curiosity, does anyone know how many of these are floating around (worldwide, or the number for each country distributed)?
I already got the ultra rare 'Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex 1st GIG Log Book 1' (only 15,000 released, although I think that is for individual countries and not worldwide), and this just adds to my collection.
Thanks

message: I altered a sentence in the first paragraph & the Chart Performance section to more accurately reflect the album's first week sales. While this is their first #1 it's also their first double album, and one "unit" of a double album counts twice when sold, meaning they sold 221,000 units of Arcadium and By The Way is still their biggest debut in terms of copies sold.

replies: text: You know what? I Never said that the Snow ((Hey OH)) single was on iTunes!
I just said that it is the second most downloaded RHCP song on iTunes (Dani California being the top most downloaded).  That means that more people are downloading Snow ((Hey Oh)) then Scar Tissue, Otherside, Californication, Under the Bridge, Give It Away, Can't Stop, The Zephyr Song, By The Way etc.
Now why would that be?  Maybe because its a fucking single! and a hit single!  It's an even bigger hit then Tell Me Baby (on iTunes anyway) which has been hitting the radio for a few weeks now!  Now, I am going to make the fucking page again, so please don't mess with it.  If Stadium Arcadium and She's only 18 can have pages, then so can this one
"Snow" is the second most downloaded RHCP song ever? I highly doubt that. I even liked the By The Way album, but Stadium Arcadium so far is nauseatingly horrible and pointless to me. "Hey oh. Listen what I say oh." That isn't even proper fucking English, even with the "oh"s disregarded, AND it's meaningless. I finally agree with Pitchfork about something. --Macarion

message: *The songs "Stadium Arcadium", "Especially in Michigan", "Tell Me Baby", "Readymade", "If", "Turn It Again" and "Snow ((Hey Oh))"  were used in advertisements for the X-Games. 
*The Japanese film Death Note features "Dani California" as its theme song. Its sequel uses "Snow ((Hey Oh))" as its theme song.
*John Frusciante does not use his Gretsch White Falcon guitar on this album, for which he reportedly paid $30,000. A 1969 Gibson Les Paul Custom was featured on the album mainly on the track "Readymade."
*This is the only Red Hot Chili Peppers album that does not feature an asterisk anywhere on the album packaging, except in the special edition vinyl which it is featured holographically on the front of the LP.
*This is the only Red Hot Chili Peppers album to not have the word "fuck" in any of its songs, because of this Stadium Arcadium is the first RHCP album to not need a Parental Advisory label, although many other Red Hot Chili Peppers Albums (e.g. By The Way) rarely had the label. However some retailers have labeled such previous albums with the label. 
*The song Dani California was the first Red Hot Chili Peppers song to have radio airplay on Radio Disney.
