Red Hot Chili Peppers and Hot Ones, unite! Let us know what other rockers you want to see on the show...
Jon Bon Jovi would be a great one
Corey Taylor, Lars Ulrich
You want Crazy, Seanie Boi? You want CRAZY?! Well then, how's about you stop being a Coward and *BRING ON PEWDIEPIE RRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE*
Anthony Kiedis ✨
The band White Reaper or the band Greta Van Fleet
Flea just seems so genuinely open to life and stoked to be here. Beautiful human. This is an all-timer episode for sure.
so true.
Losers..
You should cover a Chillis song
One of my top three guests honestly and I am not even that big a fan of RHCP
JUST SO YALL REMEMBER....RHCP is a poor man's Faith No More
The moment Flea stopped mid sentence and thanked him for reading his book was so cool. He looked so genuinely touched.
He didn't read it tho. He has a team who does, picks out excerpts and feeds them into the question script.
@@genegadeoof. Debby Downer over here
@@genegadebut time and time again the show shows great research ability. Many guest have commented on that and probably why this is one of the best guest show out there. Sean is an amazing interviewer! Gets the real out of every guest.
@@genegadehe might have
Sean's "We have to" giving a nod to Nardwar was awesome! He's no Nardwar in terms of research but no one is.
Sean has to be one of the greatest interviewers ever. Absolutely.
Watching Flea deal with pain is one of the most hilarious things I've witnessed in recent years! The howling, the gibberish, the scatting, the personal questions! If he wasn't doing an interview, I imagine he might have started doing gymnastics! Anything to ignore the pain until it drops to a more tolerable level!
The gibberish was pure Wild Thornberries Donnie. Love it. 😂
Flea is an absolute legend. One of the most genuine, unique, authentic celebrities of all time.
@DontReadMyProfilePicture.185 I have a feeling you're probably good to go there mate lol
A national treasure
He probably read this
@@autodidact7127 I hope so.
“One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.” -HST
Man, one minute he's talking about music and math, and the next he's got kid energy going. What a guy Flea is.
He's still got a lot of that Wild Thornberrys Donnie in him.
@@RandomBlackGamer excellent reference, very accurate
He is nearly every burnt out dude from the old school I’ve ever talked to
The guy talks about learning music theory in 2008.
🤷♂️
@@mininjashe said it cause flea voiced him
@@mininjas especially @15:51. Nostalgia overload 😂
I saw this man on stage and I would have never guessed that he was so intelligent, articulate and such a wonderful human being. Mad respect for him.
The whole band is like that. Super interesting group of guys
He is a beast. Fleas last statements made me cry. He is right. Arts and Music are incredibly important
😂
Flea is the epitome of don’t judge a book by its cover. Unbelievably intelligent man.
Flea is _wise_
Absolutely, just because he looks like a circus clown doesn’t mean he doesn’t have regular thoughts.
I’m was very pleasantly surprised by that too.
Totally agree. Never listened to him before. Well articulated musician - especially when you compare to some people who call themselves "artists".
What’s wrong with the cover bro? Haha
The thing I've always loved about Flea is how when you see him perform, or even just in person, he dresses and behaves like a madman degenerate hedonistic lunatic. Then you speak to him and realize that he's highly intelligent and cultured. He's a mix of animalistic self-expression with the enduring pursuit of knowledge and wisdom. Just a super cool, well-rounded dude.
Not gonna lie, if I close my eyes... this sounds exactly like Hot Ones with Joaquin Phoenix's Joker
I was thinking of him like Walt Whitman, but the opposite in a way. Whitman wrote a poem I love about not understanding or enjoying the math of the stars instead basking in their being, but Flea took us on a trip of many sorts inside the sound waves stressing and resolving us at different speeds inside the vibrations of his bass. Learning and math shows us more of the infinite, of our ignorance and how amazing it is that it fits together, and then he talks about how simplicity too can resonate with message. And the way the dude handled pain, went to rhythm and bopped it out, centered himself, released his ego.
Definitely a dude to rival, to maybe be a Whitman for my generation. I remember going to a high school band competition where every single band listed the Chillies as their inspiration. A while ago now, but here he is still.
Because he wears his soul on his sleeve and never holds back, he's living a blessed life.
Came to the comment section to find this comment. Outwardly he looks very stand offish and a little crazy (for lack of a better term). After watching this my perception of him did a 180. What an amazingly down to earth, wholesome and amazing spirit this man is.
Its a part of being a true artist, talking from experience. And there are many musicians like this, Alice Cooper or Dee Snider from Twisted Sisters of the top of my head.
Flea is so open to just experiencing life. Want to be like him.
This is a brilliant episode. Always loved Flea’s energy with RHCP, but his outlook on life and his positivity is just so inspiring. His reply to the last question speaks volumes of his humanity. Top top guy!
He gave a speech when I saw him live in Philly last year that almost made me cry,I think you can find it you tube
What an unbelievable eloquent human being. Flea is not only a legend but also a treasure. I think this is my favorite episode ever.
you were able to put two generic, worthless, generic cliches into a single sentence, so original and refreshing
@@slowery43damn bro....chill....who hurt you?
@@slowery43this statement says mommy daddy didnt love me! Bet Flea still has love for you bro!
Yessssss
@@slowery43 A legend AND a treasure. You were able to use "generic" twice. Congrats all around!
Flea is exactly what we needed him to be in this episode. Dude is legend.
He wore Carharts because he knew he had to go to work 😂
@@JonnySublime😂
The way this man appreciates the work put on the interview...Flea is amazing. An amazing bassist, an amazing human being.
Flea is awesome, he's always been Flea. He has a child like enthusiasm and willing to just learn and discover while pursuing his passion for music. The dude is one of the best bassists in the world and went back to school to expand his mind, truly humbling, what a legend.
Man, my respect for Flea just went through the roof. Intelligent, knowledgeable, respectful, well spoken and a crazy rocker all in one. Mad respect!
word! a true legend
If you have chance read his book ! AMAZING stories ..
@@irvandtammywoodward1011 Thanks. I'm going to get it!
Never really seen a Flea interview…he’s a cooler version of what I expected Flea to be…such a character. Seems so authentic
Check out his 60 minutes. He's amazing
Every interview, amazing.
Needles!
Authentic immature
There's an interview of him just talking about vinyl records he picked out (I wish I could remember the name of it) at a record store and it's one of my favorite musician interviews I've seen
Almost cried at what he said after that last wing. I'm going to try to find more ways to tie art and music into my own classroom. Our kids don't get much of it, either.
Flea is such a beautiful person. This was a delight to watch. I still remember my first RHCP concert at 14, and flea’s passion for music still burns as bright
What an amazing human being. Intelligent, articulate and openly honest. Rare in the entertainment industry.
love your standards
❤ I agree, open heart and mind.
It’s crazy how many videos I run into you on! Great minds think alike. Love your channel Leo!
Flea is not only extremely articulate, he treats the language with respect and joy, like another form of music.
because it is ! : D
@@lifelesslilt I agree that language can be musical, lyrical, even melodious, when the speaker is erudite and respects the power and magic of words.
Unfortunately, most speakers sound like a 5 year-old playing bagpipes, and they've never had a single lesson.
@@MichaelW1959 Thank you, for expressing a long held feeling of mine.
Didn't think I could love this dood more, what a guy.
I've never known much about the people behind the Chilli Peppers, but their music was a big part of my growing up. Crazy to see one of the minds behind them after all these years, and learn just how much they put into their music. Amazing stuff.
They are definitely a treasure. Especially if your from cali
This episode was one of the most wholesome, pure, relaxing and compelling episodes in the history of the show, hands down. Perfect guest, perfect chemistry.
I’ve never been so excited, I clicked so fast when I saw it was Flea. And at the end made me shed a tear, what a beautiful soul.
Flea always has such sincere and chaotic energy. He really does light up a room and is 100% just himself and doesn’t care.
He’s always 200% himself!!! No apologies and I love it!!
I just love Flea! I could watch him all day
Flea is one genuinely beautiful human being.
What a great conversation. Thank you for the opportunity to know Flea like this. What an amazing human.
I’m so glad you had Flea on. He’s not only a talented musician, he has a huge heart and the kindest soul. He’s amazing.
im 54 and grown with their music etc!
And he was Needles in the Back to the Future trilogy.
My dad worked tirelessly as a music teacher in the public education system for decades & I couldn't be happier hearing this from Flea. The arts belong to everyone
Without a doubt one of my favourite episodes to date. What a humble dude.
I am blown away by him, Flea is a national treasure. What a great human being.
I love how this episode wasn't about "Flea the RHCP bassist", but rather about "Flea the person". Great job from Sean and the crew, as usual. And Flea is just such a likeable and genuine person. Fantastic episode.
That’s why Sean will go down amongst the all time great interview hosts.
Yes! Sean is a master at putting celebs in a more personable light versus what they are doing in their career.
Couldn’t have said it better 💯
Why didn't they ask him about epstein island?
John Frusciante is my favorite guitarist of all time. At first I was a little disappointed that there were no questions involving him. Then I realized that this was all about Flea himself. And I appreciate Sean for having that restraint.
I’ve been a trumpet player for 40+ years, and I’ve never heard ANYONE articulate more perfectly the magic of playing the horn. Love it! And been a RHCP fan since the 80’s, and a Hot Ones fan since season 2… so this was a real mash-up of lot of my favorite things! I will probably revisit this episode periodically… indefinitely!!!
I would have to correct that the trombone is louder, but I also agree about playing brass instruments. I play euphonium and tuba.
That's what's up. This definitely was an all time episode for you. I love when all the stars align properly.👍
Man, this guy is treasure. What a beautiful man he is.
One of the best bass players of all time and seems like such a genuine, fun-loving dude who's in tune with life and the world.
...Also, I love that he went full-on into the Donnie Thornberry voice to cope with the heat of the wings 😆
The best ❤
This by far is one of the best episodes to date. Flea is such a humbling human being. We need more Fleas in the world.🤣🤘
Tell that to my cat
Flea is such a character, great guest!
Tell us something we don’t know, guy.
You need to see a Charlie Sheen and Kristy Swanson movie called The Chase, Flea and Anthony make it a cameo, they're hilarious.
have always loved Flea, but watching this episode....such a great human, and added so much to this show being authentic as always...definitely just went into y top 10 Hot Ones episodes! I feel like the staff behind the scenes was also just having the best time with him as the guest!!!!
I have seen many of the episodes, but this is one of the very best, Flea was interesting, articulate, entertaining and humble, what a fun person, my enjoyment of this experience is right up there with some of my fav Howard Stern interviews
Flea is a national treasure. I’ve gained even more respect for him after this. What a life well lived.
You should read his book! Very interesting life and career.
@@MileHighGrowler that’s funny because I just bought it a few minutes ago. I can’t wait to read it. He’s such an interesting character. 👍
I just finished his book. One of the most interesting people in American music history, and a very colorful life. Well done, Flea.
kinda cool that he was born in Melbourne then came to LA. Best Bassist of all time regardless.
Also Australian!
The best part about this show is getting to learn about artists. I've never seen flea in an interview so I didn't expect him to be so eloquent. Very impressed with him and I will be donating to his charity.
Larry King once asked Flea, "If you could have any superpower you want, what would it be?" Without pausing to think, Flea said, "The ability to love unconditionally all the time." Best answer ever, period, full stop. ❤️❤️❤️
im 49 and in my teens i saw a interview with RHCP, Flea has always had an old soul. He came from nothing and music took him somewhere. Don't let Flea fool ya, he is a man well educated in life.
@DizzyD850 There was plenty of what I thought flea would be, but he is definitely more than meets the eye!
Nardwuar interviewed Flea. Very old interview, you should check it out✌🏽
He's a beautiful soul
What an amazing guy. This went way beyond better than I expected.
I love that your editors took the time to add in real and helpful waveforms to illustrate some concepts. Props!
Facts
Tru Dat
he's too genuine. one of the best guests yet.
Flea saying something so beautiful it made me cry was not on my bingo card for today
“I’m a yearner, I care“… beautiful dude!
Flea comes in and instantly shows everyone that you can always choose path of positivity. He is one with the wings. Flea’s the goat.
How can you NOT love this guy? The world needs more souls like his...
Why does his hair look so aweful
@@tehdouglas1he just painted some kind of leopard spots, it's not awful. It goes perfectly with his personality 😊
Your spelling of “awful” looks awful.
@@marfisilva he looks like a chemotherapy patient but whatever floats your boat lol
yo dog you just watched this crazy awesome guy and THATS what you chose to say about him? bahahahaha wow@@tehdouglas1
I have listened to the chili peppers many times, I don’t know their deep catalog songs, but I know their top hits. Now saying this, I definitely should do a deep dive into their catalog. Flea is such a genuine guy it seems like, so down to earth, has a humorous personality and seems like an openly honest individual. You definitely can’t judge a book by its cover and Flea is definitely a great example of that. He seemed like he absolutely loved to be there on the show, he took all these sauces like champ!
What an extraordinary human
Flea was so appreciative when he realized Sean read his book. Wholesome AF! Excellent job Sean
wholesome lol
Flea is so wholesome. We need more people like him
There are a lot actually, only difference is not as talented and popular
Wholesome!! 😂 yeah sure he's the perfect poster boy for someone who makes good clean WHOLESOME life choices. Look up wholesome meaning in dictionary.
@@kimharris9226no good moral well being? 😂
wholesome lol... get a grip. delusion.
Love Flea to bits, honest, humble amd genuine...
That last question and answer is a masterpiece. Well done.
I’ve always been a casual fan of rhcp but have never watched an interview with Flea. I’ve considered him to be “that crazy bass guy” and am honestly so embarrassed about that after watching this. He is so eloquent and passionate about music and quite frankly, a joy to experience in this medium. Top 10 episode in my opinion
He’s still that crazy bass guy. You just assumed he was dumb.
Please please please check out all the songs on every album. So many great songs you’ll grow to love even if it takes more than a single listen.
@@BarrackObamna I never mentioned anything about intelligence, rather eloquence.
@@hannahsanchez3648I
I think he meant that you thought that "crazy" was a negative thing. There's good crazy and bad crazy which includes dumb crazy
Well put❤
Flea is one of the wisest guest I've seen in this show. As a student of the world I 'll say he laureated that with extra scores.
Agree, he makes no excuses, straight up real.
That's right. No es para nada PEEEEEENCAAAAAA!!
As a returning Trumpet player, it warms my heart hearing Flea talk about how amazing the trumpet (and wind instruments) are and their beauty. If Flea ever sees this, I wish him well and would love to hear him play someday and thank you for your words of wisdom and experiences
He's like Chet Baker
It's interesting how this and Dave's episode bring such a calm and receptive vibe with such wisdom about how the little things in life are, in reality, the only things you want to care about. I Love these guys so much.
Flea is one of the most amazing human beings ever. Compassion, love, art, talent, thoughtful, intelligent, articulate and more. We can all learn something from this saint of a man.
You speak the truth!
I thought the same, until meeting him and he was the rudest person ive ever met.
But we won't we'll just all keep making "mistakes" and projecting it onto others and simultaneously normalizing it.
@@itzJSGI've met him over a dozen times and he was always very nice so... hmm... maybe he wasn't the problem? Think about it. Plus, everyone can have an off night. What have you done for music, education and the planet?
What Flea said about the importance of the arts was absolutely beautiful and spot-on. What a lovely human being. ❤
I've been a fan since I was 13 and I always thought Flea is just a wholesome, humble guy who isn't even aware of how famous he is. He's doing so many good things with his money and fame while enjoying rocking out. I've seen them multiple times and he always gives it his all. Bless him.
Fleas been going bald for 35 years.
Lol YES, but he never does😂
The evolution of the beautiful human in all of us.
It's not just about the effort Sean and team put into the questions... it's also them understanding what types of questions their guest would like to be asked. They could ask Flea anything but they choose to keep it about the music which Flea obviously is most passionate about, it shares that passion with us viewers. 10/10
He took me by surprise in the way he is able to articulate. Also seamed so genuine and caring! What a great dude!
Flea has been a prolific reader of books since his youth, his autobiography was written impeccably - he could have been a writer for sure!
Yeah, him appearing as a mangy, flea-ridden dog makes it hard to believe.
Agree he's a great dude. A good reminder that people are complex and more than meets the eye.
I love Flea so much! He's a beautiful man.
He looks like a "tijgernootje", love it!
Flea is an example of a man who kept that "child like" sense of wonder and passion and it emanates out of him. I hope be able to access that again , I think it is true happiness
This is one of my favourite episodes ever! Flea is such a legend. Also, he's 61 years old and has THAT hair style, not giving a f***! Awesome
61 and 20 at heart
Age is just a number.
61 and still immature.
0.1 / 10 for effort.
When you have his job and wealth you can have the haircut you desire
maybe but most people feel scared because of the opinion of others.. with or without money@@glennoc8585
He is such a sweet human being...pure emotion and passion. Love his attitude...
Man, Flea is a wonderfully deep character. I love hearing his POV and inner workings of his mind.
Flea is such a genuine, kind-hearted person. Great interview.
It's so humbling to see Flea under this light. He's no different than any of us. He's a great man.
So according to your "logic" we're all great men.
Except the thing, where he is possibly the greates bass man of all time.
@@Szacka273 Yeah, he's not though
@@Szacka273 if you know bass properly, you'll know he's not very good. That's fact, his technique is way off. He needs to practice more. I say this with love though, still wrote some funky basslines on Blood Sugar and One Hot Minute but still overrated.
@@diggie9598Do you need some tylenol after that reach?
What a genuine down to earth, and humble dude. Been a RHCP fan since I was just a small kid. Was actually one of my first cassette tapes, along with Tom Petty. May these legends never die.
Love how prepared this interviewer is; 'm a teacher and stress the importance of preparation to my students...will be showing these vids to my kids.
“I am flowing WITH the wings” man always keeps bringing smiles to my face all these decades later. One of humanity’s best treasures 😂❤️
Didn' think I would be tearing up and feeling so emotional watching a Hot Ones episode, but here we are. Thank you Sean for avoiding the annoying questions that Flea and the rest of RHCP get constantly bombarded with!
What questions? I don't follow about musicians a lot.
@@SigmaDoomI would assume probably questions about drugs? Or some of the drama behind rhcp
Flea is such a lovely guy!! I wish there was more people like Flea
Flea is a little pea, he loves the sky and the trees. My fav episode ever!
I love this man! He's such a genuine beautiful soul. When he said, "Mostly emotional pain" I felt that. Most real moment. Thank you for having him on. It truly made my day. ❤️❤️❤️
Seriously, what a line.
What a guy.
What a genuine, thoughtful, kind, interesting person Flea is and I wouldn't have known it without Sean's sensitive interviewing skills. Great example of why Hot Ones is fantastic.
Flea is rad like this all the time. Got to see him last week at a concert and he is amazing! Much love!
One of my bass playing heroes, and such an insightful person. I love he classifies himself a humble student of love and his support for the arts in underserved communities
What a cool dude, when Flea started talking about children not being able to experience art and music, it really got me. He's so right. It's so important for our children and humanity as a whole. ❤
Absolutely…the arts matter.
I think this is a key issue for today's society. At least in the west. The arts are like the bridges between science and religion. Now people are more split than ever because a lot of these bridges are missing.
Everyone, but children especially, benefits greatly from a creative/artistic outlet. Sometimes you need to say something you *can't* put in words.
YES!! I played cello in elementary school and was borrowing one from the school as we were low income. Halfway through the year they canceled the program and took the cello. They told me I could skip lunch and be bussed to another school for it but we’d have to buy/rent our own cello. That was out of our budget so I was put into regular band with the clarinet which I hated but it was given to me by a relative so I didn’t really have a choice. 😢
What I love the most is how Sean just let's the interview go where it's going yet still maintains the questioning for each guest. Not many UA-cam videos can be 23 minutes or longer and keep people fully engaged the entire time like Hot One's Does. Bravo
That's what makes this show the best
This was a pleasantly surprisingly awesome episode. Flea is open, honest, respectful, and funny as well. I rate this right up with the episode with Ludacris as a personal favorite, from a celebrity that I felt meh about before watching. What a nice guy!
Flea .... Much Love brother ... Thank you for everything you sent out to use through the airwaves ..
The first time I saw a live RHCP show, Flea came to the mic at the end to thank the audience... He poured his heart out in appreciation to the fans for providing him with a means to live his dream of playing music. He went on to offer his support to any fan who needs anything... He went so far as to offer a kidney if a fan needed one and he was a match... I believe him... Flea is a real one.
Flea is such a soft hearted punk puppy. I love him. Read his book and watched endless videos with him. This is one where he is able to say what he wanted and the interviewer is leading him and trying to get him to say something "cool" . Beautiful interview.
do you mean "the interviewer isn't leading him..." ?
@@mysteradioyeah, that is the only logical sense to it
Such a cool and beautiful personality he has.
I don’t think the world understands how intelligent and loving flea is.
There will never be another Flea. That guy single handedly kept RHCP alive for us to enjoy now. Absolute legend.
Flea is open soul. Not confined by the generic "answer the questions and go". He goes into detail and he is so passionate about not just music, but art. Love ya Flea
TBH unlike most people who come on, Flea really has nothing financially to gain . BUT to be honest he's more of a real artist who did what he loved for love without having to get a 9-5 Prob similar to many .. what would I do with millions of dollars if I had food, place to live, did what I love ? Probably give it away 😂❤
Flea is an awesome baseplayer. And he also seems to be so humble and love what he's doing. Had been interesting to hear him share more.
I saw this man live. He absolutely radiated passion for what he does and was amazing to watch. I love him.
I had a smile on my face throughout this one. Shout-out to the genuine and amazing Flea for being That Dude.
Flea's description of music, math, and the release of tension was simply brilliant. His words about music in schools hit home too. And he took BIG bites of those wings! One of the greatest rock musicians can now add "Hot Ones all-star" to his list of achievements. Flea is a good man.
Flea rules! Great musician and an even better human being!
