[@elliefraser8290]

I cannot watch this video without bawling my eyes out every time, watching James collect Hillel's award, everything Anthony says, Cliff and Jack, when Chad talks I start getting all emotional, but it's when Flea starts. When he starts that speech, you know it's coming straight from the heart, his speech is so heartfelt and real, when he chokes up, I lose it. When he says he loves his mum, when he says thank you to George Clinton - just no one can pull so many emotions in one speech, he's such an incredible man, they all are. All I wish for is a long and successful career, their health, and some funky tunes for years to come, I don't know where or if I'd be here without them, thank you for everything boys.

Flea's one of the greatest men in the history of music imo. Pure passion, nothing but love for music. When I saw them live this year after being such a die-hard fan for so long, I couldn't take my eyes off of him. Not ONCE did he stop rocking out. Always, always, ALWAYS playing his heart out. I love you Flea. I love you John (my idol), Anthony, Chad, Hillel, Josh, Jack. Thank you for everything, RHCP. Truly one of the best bands of their generation.

[@ifilmalways7122]

Here we are 10 years later, John is back and 2022 double album rocks!

[@5urg3x]

That's so awesome that Hilel's brother was there! For those that don't know, Hilel was the "John Frusciante" of the band before John joined. He was a total beast and John got almost all of his inspiration from Hilel.

[@Jessethemanly]

Flea is an outstanding person he just blows me away with his part of the speech! God bless you Flea thanks man.

[@cpkelley]

All the Chili's are key but John F. is the one that really put them over the top. Those are their best records. Too bad he didn't show. It's his riffs that stand out the most.

[@saxonthebeach96]

Flea's speech was so heartfilled. Got me welling up in the eyes.

[@fuhq1607]

For those of you who don't know John Frusciante, he is literally one of the best songwriters guitar players and guitar Melody writers of all time. Listen to the intro to Under the Bridge listen to the entire f****** album of blood sugar sex Magik. Listen to the entire album of Californication from the beginning to end and tell me that this guy is in From Another World. Nobody sounds like him. And he doesn't sound like anybody else

[@riverman2062]

Dave Navarro, you're man! dark times, hard times but you just rock this! thank you for the great songs!

[@mn1170]

I love RHCP. To be able to talk about your addictions and overcome them takes courage. I like that they didn’t ignore it and pretend it never was a problem or didn’t happen. They acknowledge they lost a member and friend to drug addiction. Mad respect for them. Flea is so passionate about music. Top 5 best bassist of all time IMO. I hope they come to my city on a tour so I can get an opportunity to see them perform.

[@5strawberryfields]

this speech always makes me cry... flea is a great man and his devotion to music is something extremely beautiful LOVE THESE GUYS

[@drewper73]

Cliff Martinez=very underrated drummer. He played on the first two Chili Peppers albums. His playing on Freaky Styley is right on!! Thanks Cliff! Also Thanks to Jack Irons, who would've been on the first two albums but there were conflicting schedules.

[@andrea_berneschi]

I've always thought that Flea was the real (gentle, humble) RHCP's brain. Probably he's also a big slice of the soul of the group.

[@Gallienkrueger1]

Flea is a beautiful person. So passionate and true to his feelings. It is exactly that what you hear and see when he plays bass. Total surrender to the music. No filter. What he feels is what you hear. I have so much love for you man. You made me play bass and it is absolutely the most amazing thing ever. Words could not describe what playing music does to a person. The bass in my living room is the most warm welcome I could ask for when I get home. Thank you so much.
