[@nicholaskeefe5335]

Flea is literally the kindest and most honest guy on the planet. The world needs more people like him.

Flea is probably the most humble guy in the rock star worl.

You think lowly of people in the rock world.

Flea is probably the most humble guy in the rock star worl. reply: What about me?

Flea is a smart guy. And authentic. And zero pretence. And of course a great musician. He's sort of a hero.

SORT OF? He is!

[@johnnynogood8089]

Flea is a great human.

[@MaistoHelix]

Amazing how he is now, coming from where he came from. Very spritual guy he is so positive and yet humble. Like so many i love his way of playing the bass, he tought me alot when i started playing.

[@RodrigoRaez]

and Larry King is an alien

[@johnnynogood8089]

Rodrigo Raez for sure not a human! lol

[@Kamoblue]

I'm wondering why it seems like Larry didn't care enough to even do his research. Geez, I know you may not be into rock but have respect for the people you interview. You don't get the right to be rude about things.

[@georgechristiansen6785]

He never does much research because he wants to be as ignorant as the average viewer.

[@wizardcapper5011]

What a fantastic individual. Impossible not to smile and be engaged when he speaks.

[@merrillolen9555]

So true. Flea always makes me happy ❤

[@martinpenis]

"im a punkrocker lary, we dye our hair". damn i love flea

[@javiceres]

But... Larry does too

[@JUMPTHEGATEFILMS]

The more I find out about Flea the more respect I have for him. Great guy, great example.

[@thenowherestairs]

So humble to say 'I'm trying. I'm trying.. I'm just a student of music'. The willingness to learn and keep learning is one of the many attributes that define a great musician.

[@MrPrincebass99]

I love this guy. Not only a bass hero of mine, but a truly special human. His book is a journey through my life in some ways.

[@Gallienkrueger1]

I love Flea for having a certain view on the world. Always growing. Never assume you know, keep discovering He wants to 'love without judgement'. I don't know Flea personally, but I always get an amazing vibe from him. I think he's really a great guy.

[@harrythomas420]

If ya ever needed someone to just sit down and listen, not just hear you, Flea seems like that guy. He is uncharacteristically sincere for a mega rock star. He is so appreciative of his blessings in life that after thirty years of fame and fortune he smiles like he just signed his first record deal! His humble nature sucks you in and his joy for life is contagious.

[@lunarcowboy9275]

What a beautiful soul! He has this innocent, honest child-like quality about him. Gotta love the man!

[@marcoalves7520]

I could listen to this guy all time without getting bored. Sometimes when he speaks I am not focused on what he is talking but on his voice and the way he speaks and feels everything. His voice is so unique and beautiful.

[@jak3th3rak34]

“I’m just a student of music.” Amazing how humble he is after all the success. Flea is a good reminder to always stay grounded no matter how amazing others think you may be. He has obviously let none of the success go to his head which is incredible. He just wants to keep getting better and better.

[@TammyM36]

I’m so impressed with Flea. The more interviews I see on him, I admire him as a human being and musician. He’s absolutely wonderful

[@Prop8Films]

Flea is a special spirit angel among us. We are lucky to be on this planet the same time as him.

[@onehotminutex]

Flea is so nice. Larry cracks me up how he goes from one question to the next without any relevance, but I guess that's a technique in itself, lol.

[@TheGreatOctopie]

+Zelda Zonkin' He invented this Journalistic technique, it catches people off guard and allows you to get some very interesting sub-conscious answers.

[@vanmoody]

He always just asked a question and then let the person answer. Some of these late night show guys should take a tip from him because they almost upstage their guests.

[@Dwendele]

He's always been that way.

[@nxo-wp4bs]

😭

[@simonrankin9177]

I love the American way ,im Australian and our interview people are next to docile

[@rebeccastevens1876]

Superpower you'd like to have. "The ability to love without judgment at all times." Flea is everything.

[@robl7532]

Its crazy to hear him refer to rock music the way he does. All the while we know he is one of the most technical bassist out there. True gem.

[@mzspargo]

Flea is one of the most amazing human beings to ever live! ❤️️

[@Leodisdude]

mzspargo Flea doesn’t speak so highly about you. Mention your name and he just faceplams. Chad wants to hit you on the head with his drum sticks and Anthony says there’s nothing more dumb than a dumb person who thinks they’re smart. So he’s clearly not impressed with you either.

[@Leodisdude]

Faceplam 😑

[@asdfgh-sd5cd]

im going through a period of extreme stress, anxiety, anger and depression but watching flea talk puts a fucking smile on my face

[@AshenRunway]

Flea: "Any instrument is a vehicle for expression". Beautifully said.

[@unTramp]

I was smiling the whole time while watching this. Thank you, Flea!

[@koreencam9193]

me too!!

[@user-honey118]

Same😊😊

[@sumo-ninja]

Man that superpower answer was the best ive ever heard.

[@nickrophiliac7469]

I've been aware of this guy for nigh-on 30 years but this is the most extensive interview I've seen so far. He's clearly a gentle soul, an interesting character, genuinely engaging and worth listening to. Much like his band mates..

[@paulinamag7568]

Those bright eyes full of emotion, he is soooo sweet and talented. I love him.

[@arlurob3828]

flea is such a humble guy... more respect for him.. as always..

[@Gene-XL]

I love Flea’s intelligent humility.

[@Kalanimauimusic]

Never knew much about Flea except his wild stage persona. What a great human being!

but we need bad things. we NEED them. or else how could we see the light? I'm not arguing dualism, however, interviews like this light up the soul shine and i think that that is what is worth while.

[@birgitherold6706]

Flea, He is so special, likeable and a great bass ❤️

[@MikiSantamaria]

that was great

[@robertorobertinez7047]

Hey miki tu sabes porque flea es el mejor bajista del mundo? :DDDDDDDDDDD KEEP ON ROCKIN AND RHCP TO DEATH!!!

[@RyanRusich]

I love how Flea answered his "craziest fan encounter" modestly when he could have easily made it about himself. What a good person.

[@johnjohnson3709]

In such a very short time I have gained a total respect for Flea.

[@marleythefrenchbulldog4237]

He’s such a happy man 😆 I always turn to flea interviews when I’m down cause seeing him happy makes me happy

[@JAYDUB1279]

Who knew this guy was such a good dude? Grew up loving his music but never thought he'd be so down to earth and humble.

[@adrianjaramilloman]

flea is a genuine lovable person, talented and smart and very humane! luv this dude

[@bicstic8]

you are as well. although i hate that thing you did :)

[@commendking-dota2-629]

Larry: super power you would like to have? Flea: "they ability to love with out judgement at all times" 22:45 Really? Wow that comment Made me feel so superficial.... lol That really opened my eyes. Thank you flea!

[@SethTaylor]

I find it really interesting how Larry manages to stealthily introduce heavy questions in between simple questions that could be answered with a simple Google search, like when he asks "What did Slovak die of?" and then "Who's in the band now?"

[@Paul-dw2cl]

I like that observation. He peppers in the real questions in between broad, unassuming questions.

[@Ostsol]

Geez. Imagine enrolling in a music class and sitting next to you is Flea. O_o

[@robsantoro9849]

Flea as a bass player is so underrated, the guy has incredible timing, and his note choices are well thought out. Very smart guy well versed in music, and is humble...great person.

[@badjuju2612]

I don't think that's true at all. Anyone that has a respect for bass has respect for fleas abilities, groove, and influence.

[@jcosmopolito]

Amazing interview! I love how flea is so down to earth even though he is in one of the biggest rock bands. That is an amazing man right there!
