Flea: Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea On His Tip To Stop Thinking About Age

[@rainflowers1099]

@@EmilPiano When we get in space, and earth's rotation and light cycle in relation to the sun is no longer relative, do we still go by "earth time" in space? Or should we come up with another measurement for time in the space age?

Humble, intelligent, still rocking it at 60…I really want to meet him in real life and just talk to him about life.

He's the pepper that I really want to meet, just to tell him what great people they are

He came into my restaurant a couple years ago. He eats clean.

He is going to be a father at 60

What a great perspective of life and ageing. Love FLEA

[@andrew6889-p5c]

Big respect for this guy. It’s a real credit to him that he is so open and unaffected.

[@TheWaterTune]

I love how Flea is so real, also mentioning the classic dealing with others-stuff, like how they don't always give the response he wants. I've had this idyllic perception of their bond growing up so it's so refreshing to hear that it's normal to not always see eye to eye with those closest to you.

[@reginalddavis7578]

Flea is an awesome bassist! It’s music that keeps him young! THAT’S the real fountain of youth!

[@earledaniels4539]

60 is the new 40 and Flea is living proof of that. You should never let your age define your behaviour or attitude to life ☺

When Flea starts talking about wanting to make a record which feels like it belongs up there with other greats and feel like it has transcended time, I would like to say to him: Flea, you are great! You have transcended time in ways many other legends have done before you. When I listen to your classics and latest songs I feel like in that moment I am truly free and am one with music. I've been grooving to Tippa of my tongue because it's a fun song and at times when I'm driving out in the countryside I like to also play Goodbye Angels. The bass line toward the end of the song of Goodbye Angels hits hard and it's like being warped around a black hole out in the universe. It's a head spinner and a head high. Happy 60th birthday Flea! Too many more years of hard rock, punk rock, funk rock, alternative rock, or whatever humans like to label a genre keep on rockin out with you sock out for many many many more years!

[@penske1]

The last minute of Goodbye Angels is all goosebumps for me. Flea's slapping, Josh's riff, the bass dropping out and then the slide bringing Flea back in angrier than ever with distortion, and of course Chad's sick groove.

[@michelleper5065]

superb musician! SUPERB musician!

@Mike Davis lols you are out of your mind

[@Shane-iy6xf]

I admire how sharing and honest he is about himself. 👍

[@KevinDr007]

flea truly opened up about himself on this interviews. I've seen a huge amount of interviews of him. he truly was in a good mood that day. this makes me happy. spoke from his heart

[@jaggass]

I saw the Chilli's in Manchester, UK earlier this year. He has the same amount of energy as he did 30 yrs ago and made us all laugh when he did a hand stand

[@Shintaylor450]

Fleas speaks the same way in earlier interviews. He’s a deep thinker and always looks for the magic in life.

[@jaggass]

Along with the blood, sugar and sex.

[@rudygracia5573]

FABULOUS bass player!I can't think of ANYONE who enjoys playing the bass(and music)more than Flea.When I first saw him on an early video,I thought"Dang!That's ME!I won an Air Force talent show because of my bass(Flea influenced/inspired).Though it was a Sax,Bass&Drums presentation,the bass is the one that won the judges over!Grateful.

[@gorutra]

Happy birthday flea. I first saw them in 1986. Their records have been with me ever since

[@tmarston3944]

@goroot That's amazing wow that must've been a wild gig, I was born in 86 and i feel a similar way about their records too, can only imagine what it is like to have seen and experienced them back then, then to see them progress to where they are now, must be a very surreal and special feeling

Flea was my neighbor in 1991. He said he was in a band and I didn't think too much of it. I thought it was just another band trying to make it and playing small clubs until a few years later after I moved away and discovered what band it was.

Nonetheless Awesomeness abundance to all the Chillis in all their travels and free creation for all in Melbourne.

Mr. Flea...!!! 😃 BIG 60...!!! 🥧🧃🎸🎼🎶 I remember back in 2002 when Flea made a u-turn over the train tracks in Van Nuys in typical Flea fashion on the way to the airport when the train crossing signal light started flashing I thought he was about to be Metro-Linked, thank God or the devil he made it off the tracks in time he still had a lot a rockin' to do.

[@aimeestackhouse203]

riveting interview.... Im inspired with a question and bc I dont know the question yet surprises me. When I travel, what drink or food will I so miss? Ive been in south Texas for 44 years and that's all I know. What's normal to me is simply a culture... huh. I know here closer to the mexico border we have amazing authentic tex mex food. all of my fav's ive learned how to make at home easily as a last resort. And a particular ultra healthy shake at a health shop where they see me and i say the usual... But really, Ive seen ultra healthy meal replacement shakes so probably not much by end of it. Ive concluded that place has best this and that place has best that but im more hungry for next chapter for food locations to hold me back.
