“I don’t think it’s possible to make good art without profound pain.” -Flea What a quote!

[@LuigiTuazon]

Never make Flea cry. Cause it destroys my heart seeing this amazing person shed tears.

[@rosemarybenavides9411]

[@oldbastard3641]

Seeing sex offenders cry destroys you?

[@alexasmith6473]

Crying is beautiful, natural, healing and healthy. I don't trust people that don't cry. I don't trust people that are ashamed to cry. Flea crying only makes him human, heartfelt, relatable and more beautiful and soulful. He says he wants to feel EVERYTHING and sadness/crying is on that spectrum. I respect that and can relate.I feel that entire spectrum, too. I know people are uncomfortable with crying. I cry anytime that expression naturally comes up and it makes people uncomfortable. THAT makes me sad enough to cry but I don't care... Learn to cry!!! Learn to FEEL!!!

[@emile5921]

@@korkunctheterrible4302 Flea, Chad, John/Josh are musicians. They are neither frontmen nor lyricists. They prove their worth by writing and performing music, and they are pretty damn good at doing that. Their personalities are irrelevant while doing that. On the other hand it's Anthony's role to be the mouth of the band and his writing is the direct extension of his personality and experiences. I listen to the RHCP since Calrifornication and I honestly can name only a couple of songs that make sense. He is wellspoken and really likeable, but let's not pretend he is doing something extraordinary with the lyrics. He even forgets them at lives. It's a recurring thing.

[@korkunctheterrible4302]

@@emile5921 Yeah, I agree to a great degree, although I also think he can come up with well written lyrics if he really tries but his choice to not try is what, imo, betrays his lack of interest in being a person who honestly wants to be decent because there's a lack of introspection there and that is troublesome for me as a consumer of RHCP music... You said his writing was a direct extension of his personality, that was exactly what I meant to ask. Thanks for being specific about it.

Not even a single word is mentioned about Frusciante, you know, the longest serving guitarist, close friend to the members, most talented member, the man behind the bands 20 best and most popular songs and who was arguably crucial in the its modern day success. Its outright disrespectful. Its clear that the lazy Sunday Night writers probably spent 5 minutes researching before forming this shithole of a story.

One of the only bands who's members are almost equally recognizable and carry equal weight. I didn't think I liked the sound of AK's voice for years but the older I get, the more I realize...there could be no other sound of the RHCP, it simply has to sound that way and I wouldn't want it any other way. Flea is the madman that is usually reserved for the drummer, and one of the most influential bassists of all time...Frusciante is the genius who single handedly took them from good to iconic and Chad, while being Will Ferrel, is also rock solid and underrated as a drummer. Not too many bands have all 4 members that could be guests on Kimmel or Fallon by themselves... One of the last true mega star rock bands and the more that time goes by, the more I realize just what I was witnessing with them, how rare it is and how great they are

I think he is so good looking, but I understand what you mean. It’s his spirit. If you’ve read his memoir, you’ll get it!

[@andreaseriksson9746]

Flea is such a genuine human being.

[@introboyted2005]

Rhcp, one of the genuine and best bands out there

[@lewisbrown51]

That Slane Castle gig is epic!!! More of that please

JOHN I MISS YOU

"It takes sacrifice, it takes work, not criticising and being aware each others feelings" Flea

[@RedroomStudios]

love these guys! could listen to Anthony and Flea talk all day... the best of humanity!

[@chrislewis1943]

Blood Sugar Sex Magic was my first c.d. It has been taken or given away several times since then. I love that record, it's timeless. Thanks to these extraordinary men, music has been a constant positive in my life. No matter what happens, drums fill a necessary void. Life is great, but the Red Hot Chili Peppers make it so much better...

[@barnowl2832]

You know the Red Hot Chili Peppers are a committed band when they cancel a show and it's front page news for more than two years????

* *Mrs. Owl Barn* * - Reality check yourself (only with your left hand) while gazing to the sky. Is everything there? Now, smell your fingers (gross, right)? - Every member of the RHCP's would sell all their left testicle to OPEN for Iron Maiden, on a Maiden World Tour (with Bruce as pilot). They'd be allowed decent seating on the aircraft, I'm assuming.......Then again (thinking back) I was told by an ignorant ignoramus that Slayer (WOULD NEVER) open for another band. Really? - They licked the boots to tour with Maiden and would gladly do it again. I know, I was there and still have the ticket stub.

[@barnowl2832]

@@JamminClemmons Once in the late eighties Bruce Dickinson attended an RHCP recording session with Rick Rubin and by chance a small droplet of Flea's testicle sweat landed on Bruce's jacket. He immediatly fainted and when he awoke was heard muttering and stuttering something along the lines of "it's too powerful, it's TOO powerful, I'll I'll Ill never play rock again if I have to. Just get me away from this stench, PLEASE PLEASE!" then he demanded to be taken to three different hospitals for check ups despite each doctor assuring him he'd be fine. But afterwards Bruce was still terrified by the potency of this single droplet of Flea's ball sweat that he decided he needed three months of 'me time' at an upmarket relaxation retreat in Florida. It was at one of the group 'collective consolation' sessions that he met some Delta airline pilots who had been sent there on a trust building exercise. Bruce had an epiphany at that moment, he couldn't survive solely in the hard sweaty world of rock and roll. He asked the pilots for some contacts in the aviation industry and before long he had a new hobby that he could escape to everyone the memory of intimidating stench of Flea's ball sweat crossed his mind.

Flea is such a sweet kind loving soul

[@connorfleming9716]

Not one mention of John Frusciante, really? Really?! Weak!

[@squeenyboy3312]

Connor Fleming cmon dude, let’s not beat a dead horse here

[@connorfleming9716]

Jddel Ddel I disagree :D

[@connorfleming9716]

Squeeny Boy he's my favourite musician and has inspired me in so many ways relating to music and guitar it's a dead horse that needs beating

[@wokeburger1512]

The single greatest band Earth has ever produced.

[@natevendetta8812]

That tongue trill when he sings “give it away”

[@asinine7545]

16:22 “who’s the better drummer, you or Will Ferrell?” Josh: “You got no idea who the best drummer here is lol”

[@r2dxhate]

@8:58 Thankyou Flea. You saved a life today.

[@fve1352]

what? no Frusciante? He is the RHCP-overlord....

[@majorlow333]

Frusciante is a genuis...and deserves to be heralded...he gave the chili peppers the sound they are famous for...this is why hollywood sucks

[@DonAmos_stories]

Being a kid and seeing Under the Bridge for the first time was quite an experience...

[@sshelton1433]

"True Men Don't Kill Coyotes" is still my favorite RHCP song

[@_TheDarkHalf]

How do you play for 40 years and never miss a gig due to a single illness. Unreal!! He must have been seriously ill. Or just never gets sick. Both are equally as crazy.

[@acandycoloredclown7005]

Fruciante was the spine of this band, yet he barely got a mention

[@crystalynnbearr]

John left the band y’all - his choice not to be there, it’s not like they kicked him out. He forfeited the right to be mentioned in this interview as he wasn’t a member at the time. Personally I love him, I am so glad he’s back, but I can’t help but wonder for how long? When is he going to quit again? The man is flighty af! Insanity means doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results…
