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.
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.
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.
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.
“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.
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.
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.
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.
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..
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.
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.
Love the way his eyes light up when he talks about his school & the kids & the way he often pays homage to Jazz music, its influence on him, past legends & the Harlem Renaissance Real genuine cat!
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!
Reading his book currently...ace guy, he's certainly been playing his beat on the strings of life and all the brilliant times he's shared with the world together with his band the Chili Peppers. Much gratitude!
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?"
Great bloke, such a positive outlook. Fantastic to see someone so wealthy light up when speaking about his kids, goes to show what really matters in life.
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.
Flea is so.......lovely. Like a really intelligent, nice, talented, multi-faceted, artistic guy. How does he stay so humble whilst being so successful?
Ive listened to RHCP most of my life, infact 'under the bridge' came out weeks before i was born! And Flea has become someone i really admire and appreciate. Rock on Flea!
I could listen to flea for hours and hours! He is such a humble, funny and intelligent person. I have always a smile on my face when i see him in videos.
Flea is Kind, humble, and caring, smart, funny, amazing bassist and someone who makes a difference in the world, the planet needs more people like him. I smiled through the whole interview, it was a joy to watch.
Lots of Love for Flea and the Chilis. Thank you for everything you do! Great Musician and an even greater human being. Love all the people commenting on this....positive vibes and good wishes to all of you as well.
Some of the best absolute BEST musicians have the same lines..." I am a student of music." Like, you're the top of the game man and yet still humble to still consider yourself a student. Damn. *tips fedora*
Such a humble down to earth guy. Always happy to see someone with such talent not succumb to their demons and fade off. Way too many musicians have gone that route.
the man with the child in his eyes

@@somosgenel wrong. just wrong. Wrong Guy. Not cool @ all.Huge fail.
The more I find out about Flea the more respect I have for him. Great guy, great example.
What a fantastic individual. Impossible not to smile and be engaged when he speaks.
So true. Flea always makes me happy ❤
Flea is literally the kindest and most honest guy on the planet. The world needs more people like him.
He’s on drugs-
What a beautiful soul! He has this innocent, honest child-like quality about him. Gotta love the man!

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.

What about me?
Right behind Dave mafuckin Grohl
Filipe Henriques ya'll are forgetting about John Frusciante
Him and Dave Grohl.

and Larry King is an alien
Rodrigo Raez for sure not a human! lol

He never does much research because he wants to be as ignorant as the average viewer.
Those bright eyes full of emotion, he is soooo sweet and talented. I love him.
flea is such a humble guy... more respect for him.. as always..
Flea is one of the most amazing human beings to ever live! ❤️️

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
Flea is a special spirit angel among us. We are lucky to be on this planet the same time as him.
I was smiling the whole time while watching this. Thank you, Flea!
me too!!
Same😊😊
Superpower you'd like to have. "The ability to love without judgment at all times." Flea is everything.
"im a punkrocker lary, we dye our hair". damn i love flea
But... Larry does too

Flea is a smart guy. And authentic. And zero pretence. And of course a great musician. He's sort of a hero.
@@theredhotchilipepperssexof4269 get a life bud no one cares
Damn right about that
Flea is a smart guy. And authentic. And zero pretence. And of course a great musician. He's sort of a hero.
Embrace change
SORT OF? He is!
Ooh a book from Flea would be literally perfect!!!!
it is out september 25th this year!
read scar tissue by AK. very interesting person
literarily perfect :)
Acid For The Children
that was great
Hey miki tu sabes porque flea es el mejor bajista del mundo? :DDDDDDDDDDD KEEP ON ROCKIN AND RHCP TO DEATH!!!
Man that superpower answer was the best ive ever heard.
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.
Flea, He is so special, likeable and a great bass ❤️
Never knew much about Flea except his wild stage persona. What a great human being!
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.
+Zelda Zonkin' He invented this Journalistic technique, it catches people off guard and allows you to get some very interesting sub-conscious answers.
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.
He's always been that way.
😭
I love the American way ,im Australian and our interview people are next to docile
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.
Flea seems really relax, gentle and nice!
In such a very short time I have gained a total respect for Flea.
I love Flea’s intelligent humility.
He’s such a happy man 😆 I always turn to flea interviews when I’m down cause seeing him happy makes me happy
im going through a period of extreme stress, anxiety, anger and depression but watching flea talk puts a fucking smile on my face
Flea: "Any instrument is a vehicle for expression".
Beautifully said.
flea is a genuine lovable person, talented and smart and very humane! luv this dude
you are as well. although i hate that thing you did :)
If people would be honest,loving, respectful,& compassionate like flea is this world would be so wonderful!!!!
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.
He's face is just one of pure joy
love you flea. see you next week!
Flea is The best!
hes modest too
Love the way his eyes light up when he talks about his school & the kids & the way he often pays homage to Jazz music, its influence on him, past legends & the Harlem Renaissance
Real genuine cat!
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!
Reading his book currently...ace guy, he's certainly been playing his beat on the strings of life and all the brilliant times he's shared with the world together with his band the Chili Peppers. Much gratitude!
Such a humble awesome human so happy that we are blessed to have him on this earth❤ red hot chili peppers forever man!
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?"
I like that observation. He peppers in the real questions in between broad, unassuming questions.
I love how Flea answered his "craziest fan encounter" modestly when he could have easily made it about himself. What a good person.
Flea, above all other artists is what got me most into music.
God bless
I wish I knew Flea on a personal level, just so I could tell him that I love him as a human being/alien/whatever he is
One of my greatest inspirations.I tried to play Bass like him and his super positive and energetic attitude is the greatest.Truly a great human being
flea is my hero.. i wish i could meet him some day.. and tell him how much his music has helped me
How can you not LOVE Flea? He exudes such great energy :)
He’s very humble. Flea is a good dude.
TellMeHowI'mWrong? 100 agreed
much love & much respect for Flea!
the power to love without judgement at all times ;( the feels
Such an earnest and genuine man. His spirit is unchanged from his interviews in the 80s.
Great Humble Flea! So emotional and great guy! Because all of that, he is one of the best bassists worldwide!
Flea is now one of my favorite people..
Flea is a great person very inspirational individual 😊
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!
He's wearing a sweatshirt from Target....God I love Flea
what an awesome human being. so well spoken. can't wait to read his memoir
Great bloke, such a positive outlook. Fantastic to see someone so wealthy light up when speaking about his kids, goes to show what really matters in life.
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.
I don't think that's true at all. Anyone that has a respect for bass has respect for fleas abilities, groove, and influence.
Geez. Imagine enrolling in a music class and sitting next to you is Flea. O_o
Ostsol - 😭😭😭
RIP Larry...... Your the King!
Flea is so.......lovely. Like a really intelligent, nice, talented, multi-faceted, artistic guy. How does he stay so humble whilst being so successful?
I love Flea so much it's not even possible!
Flea is really a spectacular human being! Absolutely LOVE this guy!
Ive listened to RHCP most of my life, infact 'under the bridge' came out weeks before i was born! And Flea has become someone i really admire and appreciate. Rock on Flea!
The super power part made me cry so bad! This man deserves the peace Nobel prize ❤️
Flea embodies a familiar feeling of groudednessthat ,to me, is so accessible. Like a long lost relationship, that feels good and right.
Living legend!!
I could listen to flea for hours and hours! He is such a humble, funny and intelligent person. I have always a smile on my face when i see him in videos.
Honest question: Why do people like horror movies? Why do millions of people like to see depictions of people getting annihilated?
Wow!! Flea has become a blessing for so many kids!! I love him even more♥️
Flea is Kind, humble, and caring, smart, funny, amazing bassist and someone who makes a difference in the world, the planet needs more people like him. I smiled through the whole interview, it was a joy to watch.
Lots of Love for Flea and the Chilis. Thank you for everything you do! Great Musician and an even greater human being. Love all the people commenting on this....positive vibes and good wishes to all of you as well.
He is an amazing person!!
What a gem of a human being. Supremely talented, intelligent, humble, spiritual.
Wow, when usually people answer "the ability to fly", Flea blows us away with the most beautiful answer in the history of all answers. 🧡
"Oh jeezus you can't show that on television" God I love this man.
Love Flea. What a beautiful person. Makes me hopeful.
Indonesia loves Flea
What a top man!! Always a pleasure to hear this guy talk.
What a nice guy. Grateful. Smart.
He’s so humble! One of the Top Bassist ever and he still considers himself a studrnt and always learning!!
I loved his performance in Queen & Slim
I love Flea....I would marry him if I could.i adore their music (rhcp)
I really wish FLEA did an audio book to listen too. He is a soothing personality to chill to
He has one! It's called Acid for the Children
Humble,smart, kind and greatest Bass player you can ever find.
A new found respect for this intelligent and sensitive soul.
love him!!!!!!! Incredible energy he has!!!!
Since I bought my first compact disc in the 80s when I was a little kid, Flea has been a part of my life. Thank you sir.
Flea is many things but above all he is a scholar of music. That's what makes him so great. He's a student first and foremost
Some of the best absolute BEST musicians have the same lines..." I am a student of music." Like, you're the top of the game man and yet still humble to still consider yourself a student. Damn.
*tips fedora*
❤ flea has a huge heart ❤
larry has the most honest guests and simply fires question after question without a moment of empathy
Great guy, crazy bassist!
Such a humble down to earth guy. Always happy to see someone with such talent not succumb to their demons and fade off. Way too many musicians have gone that route.
