Flea joins the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco to talk about his new book "Acid For The Children". This happened few weeks before Frusciante was officially back in the band.

I was the one who asked the question!!! :)
Renato Volpi nice
Boa mano!
Men you speak english so well I’m jealous haha
@@sloppyhand6983 😂😂😂😂
🤷♂️
So much passion when he speaks about his relationships with his friends. It's so pure and full of love. God bless their passion for each other.
@Ricky Spanish sure he looks like a clown, but he doesn't act like one... like so many other people do nowadays..
@Ricky Spanish I couldn't say.. you can probably tell me tho
@Ricky Spanish What?
Yeah but is book isn't that great
@AdmiralOddSock Twas a Christmas miracle
Who’s here after finding out he’s back in the band
Me!!!!
me bro ME !!!! im shaking damn it :D :D
You bet we're here
Me!
Guilty
Flea’s slowly becoming the old man from “Monster House”
Its very possible that I might be the only person that reads this that has actually seen Monster House
What a niche reference. Love that film!
Matt Brennan I fkn loved that shit when it came out
looool
Yeah let’s concentrate on appearance shallow shallow person. Was gonna say man but obviously your not.
My co-workers and I were actually talking about how Frusciante is essentially our generation’s Hendrix as far as driving us to create and practice. I’m happy he’s back with the band (also hope that Josh is doing okay), but most importantly I can’t wait to see what the new RHCP era brings :D
Comparing Frusciante to Hendrix is a major stretch. He's not really even in the same league as Hendrix.
Agree
I love John Frusciante’s guitar playing and he wrote some amazing pieces but when mentioning him in the same sentence as Hendrix he becomes just a Hendrix wannabe.
I completely agree and I’m only 20… this man is still highly underrated
Frusciante has his own distinct style and made BSSM and Californication what they are. I love these albums. But for the last 20 years he is just repeating himself, I think. Hendrix was a wizard, a virtuoso, a different league.
Beautifully said by Flea. When Hillel Slovak died the band was supposed to die and that’s the honest to god truth. They never laid down. John brought them together, he is the quintessential part of this band that glues everything together. Without him we don’t the music we know and love today. Thank you John Frusciante and I’m so happy to say welcome back. We misssd you
You're in a parasocial relationship with these people, don't speak on their behalf.
He is right saying the creative process makes you vulnerable so it's really difficult and kind of a blessing to find other people with whom you can create music for almost 40 years.
It’s extremely hard thing to find
How does the creative process make you vulnerable.. I’m not understanding ?
Looks like flea just fell out of elton John's wardrobe.
Flea is Flea
Ooo look at you all bitchy and gay talking about Elton John and fashion! Get a life
@@MrThedonhead hurt you have I?
WELCOME BACK JOHN!!!!TRUE LOVE NEVER GETS OLD
@Asshats Love Johnny Depp!! Johnny Depp Es Racista!! ok
Gosh, I never would have thought this guy thought so deeply as he does. You only hear and see the stage part of some people, but underneath it all, he's got some really good values to life.
Same here. But after watching a few interviews, you can see he is a deep thinker & a genuinely nice person. It's refreshing to see in a celebrity.
Man u should see him getting emotional when he talks about his relationship with anthony and also about his mom in the same interview
...duh
@ijcn0jir3nvjn3fjcifn Would rather have him be genuine than to live up to your standards. If grown men were to be so boxed in as to not even be allowed to express thier love for their friends, then that's not a world worth living in.
@ijcn0jir3nvjn3fjcifn you've got issues
Flea is an absolute legend.
This is the most down to earth man I know. Humble, observant, grateful. Even with flaws, he still moves forward.
I wish every human radiated love as much as flea. Imagine where we would be.
The world would be a beautiful peaceful place.
How do you know Flea?
@@guyincognito143 It's called having a connection with your favorite musician.
@@mwilliamshs It's called having a connection with your favorite musician.
You haven’t seen videos of angry Flea, have you?
It all gains a new meaning after today’s news🤩
Just got finished reading Flea’s book. Absolutely amazing
I saw them in Boston and Flea came on to the stage walking on his hands. There is no one else like Flea.
That's it? They didn't play or ANYTHING, he just did a walking handstand? You really felt you got your money's worth? Sounds like you're easily entertained.
@@toddmorrissey8372 Your mother didn't take long to entertain me.
I absolutely love how he couldn't answer that question sitting down. Love Flea such an animated dude.
Flea, a true hero and a big inspiration to me.
Fr man, if you're a bass player he should be a huge inspiration.
Flea is absolutely wonderful person. The best bass player of all time and truly wonderful soul
Makes me wonder what his relationship with Chad is because they mesh so well in the rhythm section
he's the real mvp he just straight up vibes with everyone
Love the Flea and his big heart of gold.....
I can't wait to here what beautiful music they're going to create God bless you John
Flea is The Robin Williams of Funk
Thanks for posting this video .
Yesterday was the best day of my life. Welcome back John. I could cry. Lol
At the moment in the interview everybody gets his last 2 sentences as a quote about Frusciante quitting, but he already knew it was about John coming back. Pure gold! ❤
Crazy to think John is actually back in the band now
Check out what he had to pay in this divorce. That’s why he kicked josh out again. Only money $
I have literally studied fleas bass compositions and techniques like... 20 years ago... In depth. And I had no idea how clear and concise of a public speaker he is.
"For It is written, in the end times John will rise again to Rocketh the Socketh off thy Cocketh's." *Frusciante **6:18*
Is that really in the Bible? Wow!
🤣🤣🤣 .. 🙏😎🙏
Flea reppin the Grateful Dead with the Lithuanian Olympic jersey \m/
love how he's still reppin' it as well. Saw a photo of him on twitter with him wearing it as well!
This fellow Lithuanian loves it!
RIP JERRY A
I was actually surprised to see someone beat me to this comment. Only the reaL ones know..
"The world is energy, waves, ride them"
John's return has been planned for a while then...
Flea is my favorite musician.
Now this interview makes perfect sense.
HE'S BACK!!!!
Still can't believe I'm going to see them in Dublin this year
AND NOW JOHN IS BACK
Fucking 17 years old. First band he ever joined. Was being scouted by frank zappa who notoriously only sought the best musicians. Their first album with him goes gold and their second goes multi platinum, and then he quit. Before he was even half way thru his 20s... just incredible.
He was not being scouted by Zappa man, I think he had the intention of auditioning for the band but never did it.
Beautifully said
Flea. I love you so much. I wouldnt have learned to play bass if it were not for you. Just as you would not have played bass if it werent for Hillel. RIP Lovely Man thank you so much for your amazing love and gifts to the world Hillel Flea Anthony John Chad and so many others of the Chili Peppers who have been a part of this amazing group i love you thank you
I love this man.
I was waiting for the words : “John, please come back. You give me a reason to live” :)
Johnnys back and ready to go
Damon Willis I will keep going :) ! The most beautiful way to describe my feelings! :)
The universe gives us a reason to keep going -- always.
I loved what he said there. Couldn’t have been more spot on.
@@sstaners1234 Something Ben Kenobi could've added to his famous saying. Hint, hint.
I love how he knew right away he and Anthony would be in each other’s lives 😂
I think it's time to see at least a photo of the band with John after 10 years.
Here in 2022 after they've put out their first single together in like ten years 😪🙂 flea looks so much happier and healthier now
what a fascinating response!
Fleas a sensitive soulful fellow.
Waves of energy moves and we ride them. - FLEA
I'm personally very excited about the young man joining this rock band. He will breathe new life into this very old band. Anthony and Flea are almost 70 years old 🙏🙏🙏
They are not 70 but 60
@@user-qg7vx9zl5k the young man is about 25
He is back!
Welcome back John Frusciante 🙌🏼
And here we are
John is back in the band
He looks like he skipped his 30s, 40s, and 50s.
you're right, his 20's last 3 decades..all that energy on stage lol
"and like for John, there keeps being a reason for it".........Flea the Universe has spoken again........Welcome Back John Frusciante, I'll see you guys in May in Boston!!!
I'm not really a rhcp fan but at the same time I love them
It don't even understand it but its what I feel!
And now HE is back to the chili peppers. Friends and love reunited. Best news in 2019
Frusciante is back in the band!!!
Sometimes I worry that Flea is ill by his appearance and emotional reaction, but then I see him play and realize that’s just Flea and he’s fine.
Flea is Flea... and that's what makes him Great.
'Is ill by his appearance and emotional reaction'?
Are you a robot or something? And how can you judge someone's mental health based on how they dress?
This comment is messed up on so many levels.
@@youreallygotmenow4855 With appearance he might mean how his face looks; someone can look ill.
@@MeesterJoey Sure, but that's obviously not the case with Flea.
Anyway, the meaning of his comment doesn't change that much.
Zanetti900, don't be an ignorant prick, please.
There's more than enough of 'em in this world lol.
@@youreallygotmenow4855 Damn who hurt you kiddo?
AND HE IS BACK
John was was the hell of a wave for them :)))
The biggest crowd my former band played in front of was about 12k people and we played probably over 300 shows. We recorded 2 EPs, 1 LP and had this one very short, amateurish, AMAZING!!!m U.S. East coast tour lol :p. I don't know what it is to be in a band like that...but man, I hate how there aren't as many bands around anymore :S. If I can make a wish for the new year it's to find other bandmates, be the best bandmate I can possibly be, and have as much fun playing and sharing music that matters to us as... and basically just have a great time with people I care about. My girlfriend and I have been together for over 10 years. My ex and I stayed together for something like 7 years...and yet, the relationship I crave the most is the one I shared with my former bandmates when things were looking good.
The universe shines upon us all this morning with the news...it all doesn’t seem real
é tão bonito ve ra relação desses caras e q apesar de todos os conflitos, as coisas aconteceram :e hj são o que são :3
Espero que esse ano (2020) com a volta do johm eles se reinventwm mais uma vez aaa
I love how Flea can pronounce "Frusciante" correctly.
@Rouge not unless they know someone with that name, usually they fuck the pronunciation up totally
People can't say my name right either. It's a whole thing.
yeah i mean they’ve known eachother for years and years it’s so crazy that he can pronounce his name correctly
@@user-lz5nd8lh8b 😂😂😂
He knew the dude, lived and played music with him for years. That’s a pretty close relationship, it would be sad if he didn’t know how to pronounce his fuckin’ name. That’s kinda like saying “Wow, it’s pretty impressive how Flea knows how to tune his bass.”
J Frusciante is no doubt a top legend on the guitar..dude's a straight top class beast on the stings
Hardly
On the strings, too.
I feel that Flea, always reminding the concertgoers to
be kind to one another ,
was and is really the simplest reason why I love and respect him so much
❤️❤️❤️welcome home John🤘🤘🤘
John should come back💓
Wish granted
I was at GIT in 1987 with John.It was before he joined the RHCP.He knew how to play every Steve Vai song note for note.At that time there wasn't any real tab/RUclips/videos of how to play songs.John showed me how to play Viv Woman from Steve Vai's Flex-able album and a bunch of other Vai licks.That was over 30 years.
hellcat523 I think I’ve read your story somewhere else!! I remember reading guys used to call him the steve vai clone or something like that.
@@RedHotBSSM He really could play every song of Steve Vai note for note.When you watched his hands he didn't have the greatest technique but the notes were 100% perfect.He truly is gifted.I wish I kept in contact with him, not for his fame but for his genius.1987 was a fun year out there in Hollywood at GIT.Paul Gilbert was there a couple days a week throughout the year too.
I love fleas Grateful Dead Lithuania basketball shirt and his tie-dye jacket ⚡
What a great question dude
He looks exactly like one of the guys in “Back to the Future”
I guess he wanted a second role in the movie
Biff tannem ?
@@effiemars_ right !
JOHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNSSSS BACK IN THE BAND
I hope he returns... he completed the band and it’s collectively that they’ve become what they are... no one is above anyone within the body of the group... nor should they think so...
Yeah. Josh is awesome, and I like him too. But john always was and always will be my favorite. It's not the same without john.
Erol B. He's releasing more music but it's just electronic garbage
seems your hopes were answered
Flea with the Jordan 1 Melodys! Always in style!
And now John is back again!
Love Flea's shirt
John is my idol. Man I love flea though.
He's rocking da Lithuania T-shirt. Awsome 🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹🏀🏀🏀
I love flea
God bless Flea
I saw this interview and heard “there keeps being a reason for him energy and waves move we ride em” and thought wtf does he mean? Is John..? Nah no way. Month later on Twitter “yes John is back, nature moves, waves are for riding”. It was the Easter egg I searched google 10 years for.
Love love
I feel like Flea and I have similar views of spirituality and our place in the universe as a whole.
Enlightening
Thanks
Can't fuckin wait!!
❤️❤️❤️
One month later... John returns to the band
I ❤ FLEA
Frusciante & Flea = Cosmic musical bliss aka Live at Slane Castle
My Baby Boy is back
The world is just waves of energy you know, ride ‘em..
Ty for this.mis there more?
Tony Reyes You’re welcome! Flea was there to promote his book, he talks about the peppers a bit, however no other questions involving JF
if only politicians had fleas life mentality towards the world
Blood Sugar Sex Magick, One Hot Minute, Californication gave a whole lot of people a whole lot of GOOD VIBES and memories that go with them for all times
Flea-- ...& that's all i got to say about that... LUV!!!
This interview has so much more depth now that John Anthony MotherFucking Frusicnate actually returned.
I hope one day that the John wave swells back into RHCP.
Well your wishes came true
@Isaac Dweck hahah
Fuck yes
Isaac Dweck well, evidently it’s didn’t hurt to wish it. 🤷🏻♀️
Well the universe made its move again. A very good move.
