Lance Christopher a lot of people are very lonely. So any friendship that those types of people can get their hands on with be so valuable to them. Like I’m not a very lonely person by any means, I have friends but only one “half-best” friend if you know what I mean. But my dad is my absolute best friend, like I can talk to him about everything so that’s awesome. But yes when Flea said that it also broke my heart Bc I know how that feels but I suppose not on Flea’s level ya know
I had no friends starting school, then I started watching jackass and American pie. Ironically those two gave me the inspiration to stop giving a shit about what I thought people thought of me. Sometimes it just takes someone else's, unknowingly shared inspiration, and Flea has just done that
Was literally about the type the exact same words bro. For real. Chilis are not only a model for musicians everywhere but humanity. Purest of forms. Love, friendship and commitment.
Flea convinced him to go into rehab since Anthony suddenly had a drug problem. What a lad he is. He is literally the bravest friend Anthony Kiedis has ever begged for. Flea is such a lad. No more words...
@@Zerottten Search for "Flea Destroying the Stage in 1999" and see Flea punching a fan who invadad the stage in the face. Then he proceeds to attack what seems to be the same ones that invaded stage and was being detained by security, only then he destroys the stage. Then another fan invades the stage and hugs Flea while he's destroyng the stage and Flea smiles and hugs him and give him little pats on the belly. Another funny one is he signing stuff for papparazis, he start signing one then a few show up out of nowhere and he notices what's going on and just drops the pen and walk away, hahaha. Very funny, crazy guy, but above all: a great musician, and actually only that should matter for us; also that he is doing good and healthy and hope that he is a good person but that should be to every single human.
I agree, it was his mom that got him about to cry, BUT, Flea seems like a good friend to have, seems so loyal and will remain good buds with Anthony, even after The RHCP stop making music and touring. I have 2 close friends and sometimes that is all you need. Who needs shallow people arou nd anyway?
I remember when they entered into the hall of fame and flea thanked his mom and told her he loved her and she was right there, he is very emotional about when he mentions his mom ❤
@jenna jackson Well your in luck because you can say that to his face in due time before you depart to an eternity without him. Or accept Jesus as your saviour and spend eternity with him. Your choice, thats why God gave us free will.
God doesn't exist cuz if he did we all be free and all of my pain will not exist but if he does exist probably he don't believe in me and just leaving me in the dark
I have nothing to do with god anymore he failed me i pray and cry to him and he just spit on my face and put these demons in me so they can finish me off
Flea seems like that one friend in the group that, without hesitation, would fight the demons of hell if they did someone that he cares about wrong. The guy that would take a beating for you and later thank you for being his friend. Don't ever let that kind of friend go.
Oh shit... I can't even watch his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame acceptance speech around other people. When he starts talking to his mom in the audience... I'm not just getting glassy eyed... it's full on tears streaming down my face.
One of my favorite things is that flea and John both *always* refer to it as “my band”. They’ve never left the rehearsal garage. It’s truly about their experience playing together. Not the stadiums. Not the records. Not the stardom. Loving each other
A combination. If you're 15 and it's the first time you find someone you can talk to about anything, then thats something extremely emotional. If you have little friends and find a really good one it's the same thing. It is also the fact that his mom passed.
I love flea he helped me in a very dark time. And the compassion he has for Anthony is awesome . It’s truly amazing what music can do for the soul and heart .
Their friendship is purer and genuine,it reflects clearly in Flea's expression.Awww he's got heart of gold,long live my darlings Tony and Flea 😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢
I loved his book. A LOT! I was astonished by how good it was. I'm still astonished by the insights and the writing. I listened to it on the set of CD's and it's Flea's voice doing the talking. It's one of the most wonderful books I've listened to and he deserves a Grammy for it. I had listened to Patti Smith's bio and was pleased to learn that she encouraged and inspired Flea to write his. Prepare to be amazed.
I would love to meet Flea someday .. he's been a soul and musician I've looked up to my whole life loving RHCP. I'm their age and grew up with their music. SO MUCH JOY and FUN
I don't always cry. But When I do.. Its because Flea is an amazing human thay shows how much he loves his life and his friends, and his family and music. Truth is... This flea, I'll never scratch off. LOVE YA! ~E
To seeing such a friendship between men like this is beautiful and rare to see; thankfully we get to see how this friendship has played out for years and continue to see it.
This is the sweetest shit I've ever seen; i can honestly see them buried in the same grave when they pass to the otherside edit: Y'all please chill out in the replies we're here to spread peace and love not fight
Ooof, I felt that. That was beuitiful. My favorite band.... I knew they were friends but I didn't know their connection ran that deep and to hear it, makes me very happy for them and for all of us that they found each other to make this incredible music together.
God I love Flea, not only is he my favorite bassist of all time, but he’s such a pure soul in the essence of rock and roll and as a human being, as nuts as he is he’s also so human and I wish I could meet him
I had a flea. We were also inseparable. Brothers right from day one (starting at age 10). Then he died waaaaaay too young (29). 18 years later and I still miss him every day. He was the best friend I ever had and would have been the best uncle my kids could have ever had. Oh yeah, he liked the Chili Peppers long before they blew up and he got me liking them too (at 1st I didn't, but he never stopped playing their songs). I still remember when he couldn't wait to share their "new song" with me ("Under the Bridge"), and I have been a fan ever since. IF only I could afford to take my kids to one of their concerts on this tour. Man, that would be great. Hopefully I find a way to make it happen.
when you have friends since fifteen at his age..you know those are bros's for life!..something I always wanted!..lost touch with my real best mate since primary school in our late 30's..since 2018 lost touch with every one I knew growing up as as kid..but having this meant the world to me growing up..much love flea for showing it does exist without having to change who you are intrinsically..because there are folks who align...amen!
No se pone emocional por su amistad con Anthony. Sino que recuerda ese momento en su cabeza y su madre ahi escuchandolo. Y el hecho de que ella no este. Eso lo conmueve. Flea un gran ser humano. Con un gran corazon!.
I'm halfway through reading Anthony Kiedis' autobiography, Scar Tissue. It's a GREAT read! Kiedis talks a lot about his friendship with Flea throughout the book. They have such an endearing bond, I fucking LOVE Flea man! And seeing him express his love for Anthony is very touching. These two have had the WILDEST time together and they're both just SO fucking awesome! LONG MAY THEIR FRIENDSHIP LAST! It's wonderful to have a friend who's THAT close with you. They were BORN to be best pals man!
This interview demonstrates that some brothers are born together, while others find each other along the way on their private and shared journeys thru life!
This is one of those great stories I just am so happy that he shared it wit the audience. I swear many times I enjoy watching the interviews with musicians more so than i like to her them play. I love the music but to hear stories like this sheds a whole new light on the person (flea). Great human story!
Imagine someone loving and respecting you so much that the only way he can rationalize your relationship actually working the way it has is through cosmic/universal means. I hope that my future kid can be someone's Flea someday.
Brings a tear : ) Anyone reading this... Anyone watching this... I hope you find someone special in your life that you can relate to on a massive scale. Being alone is the worst thing...
I think is amazing that 2 guys have been friends their whole live pretty much. With all they've been trew together I would say they have a bond and love that very few humans have with another person! Great for them
I freakin knew it! Flea has always been the sweetest presence and I don't know if he has ever not smiled, and Anthony is his perfect match. I've been a fan since I was 17, and have first cassette they made, and I'm now 53, seen em in Concert in 08 i believe with my adult daughter who loves them like me. Sooooo damn cool! I knew that baby kickin was jammin not just movin. My son too is also a huge fan. I'm a hella momma! Raised em on Pepper's
Flea is so adorable. I love him very much. He is so authentic and emotional. It's wonderful, to be a part of RHCP for Flea. His relationship with Anthony is so gorgeous. I love them all. 🤗🌶️💓🤗🌶️💓
"Mom, Mom! I finally found someone I can talk to!"
That's just heartbreaking

I think a lot of us can relate to this
Kind'a sounds like before that there was just mom. Shit, my eye got teary just from the thought of it.
I had no friends starting school, then I started watching jackass and American pie. Ironically those two gave me the inspiration to stop giving a shit about what I thought people thought of me. Sometimes it just takes someone else's, unknowingly shared inspiration, and Flea has just done that
Still waiting for that one myself.
Flea is a beautiful human being. I love him so much and never met him in my life.
i feel the same way
Was literally about the type the exact same words bro. For real. Chilis are not only a model for musicians everywhere but humanity. Purest of forms. Love, friendship and commitment.
@Scott Carter i read your comment and i honestly dont wanna read any other words...
I really get a great vibe from him!
Here here
Anthony is lucky to have a flea in his life.
a flea, haha
That's so cute!
Flea convinced him to go into rehab since Anthony suddenly had a drug problem. What a lad he is. He is literally the bravest friend Anthony Kiedis has ever begged for.
Flea is such a lad.
No more words...
Without flea yeaa AK will never in a band, his music talent is limited actually
Said no cat named, Anthony ever(not that a cat should be named Anthony)
Flea is the kind of friend everyone should have.
I can definitely agree!
Sad most people walk over people like him in High School. Being a misfit is rough
Being Dead from overdose?
@@guardianobserver6593 that doesnt make him a bad person are u stupid?
yeah if your a switch hitter
I've never heard Flea say a negative thing about anyone else. That is a reflection of his character.
Someone definitely went out hunting for bad flea comments and found nothing, the losers on the internet lost this time!
he said he hated brits called us limey cunts

He's upset thinking about his mom not Anthony. Intelligent and sensitive musician.
But I think not just his mom, but his mom recognizing his friendship with Kiedis and being happy for him to have met someone he can related to.
@@fandlpetroleum Mom's love it when you find a good positive friend.

I think both.
@T Dowling Please tell me this is not true.
Flea always breaks me down when he cries or gets emotional
Such a passionate and real human who feels everything.
Love you , Flea
I met flea a few times . I can’t tell you how down to earth this guy is. He really is one of the greatest bass players alive.
People*
I remember when they entered into the hall of fame and flea thanked his mom and told her he loved her and she was right there, he is very emotional about when he mentions his mom ❤
God bless those men, Anthony and Flea. Brothers for life!
Absolutely bro 😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢

of course he would fight demons. he worships satan
The thing is, if flea gets emotional, I do too
The same thing happens to me when I watch flea talking about J dilla
Oh shit... I can't even watch his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame acceptance speech around other people. When he starts talking to his mom in the audience... I'm not just getting glassy eyed... it's full on tears streaming down my face.
right? I feel him in my soul when he gets emotional
Flea is the glue. Without him, Chili Peppers would be history.
Most bassists are.
Not sure if I'm reading this wrong but you're saying if flea wasen't in the band it would be history?
@@Strinoire he means they would be over and done with by now if not for flea; a part of history and no longer existing presently.
@@babyfood9537 Right right
B-bb-ut FRUSCIANTE 😭😭😭
Flea is just the best. An amazing performer, musician and human... a true role model.
Such a kind guy, bless him and his incredible limitless energy !
Man that hit me in the feels, awesome show of raw humanity. Dig this clip!
imagine not adoring & loving flea.
he’s such a genuine person and so so sweet.
god bless him he deserves the world. ❤️
One of my favorite things is that flea and John both *always* refer to it as “my band”. They’ve never left the rehearsal garage. It’s truly about their experience playing together. Not the stadiums. Not the records. Not the stardom. Loving each other
@the populist-69 populist
Right. Let's npt mention the fact that little kiedis and balzary have a combined net worth of $300 million.
I don't know what it is, but I could listen to him talk and tell stories for days. Such a natural and emotional speaker.
Flea has become such an emotional guy, and in tune with himself. I love it.
Guys awesome. Age brings wisdom. 👌🏼
also experience
Also he's clean so he feels everything now
Imagine if everyone connected like this. What a wonderful world.
Flea, i deeply love you. In this momment of my Life you're being to me a influential soul of brightness and love.
Don't you think it's the memory of his mom?
Absolutely, his Mom...and then Anthony.
Totally agree
It's the memory of being a kid with no friends and telling his mom that he found Anthony Keidis
A combination. If you're 15 and it's the first time you find someone you can talk to about anything, then thats something extremely emotional. If you have little friends and find a really good one it's the same thing. It is also the fact that his mom passed.
No Anthony
I was literally crying with him
Same!I Love them so much!
I love their bromance so much they are soulmates ! I adore them
Something so vulnerable and yet wildly attractive about a man who's not afraid to speak his mind but also has his feelings right there at the surface
I love flea he helped me in a very dark time. And the compassion he has for Anthony is awesome . It’s truly amazing what music can do for the soul and heart .
Ed Harris should get an oscar for this performance, thoroughly believable.
You ain't funny😁😁😁😁😁
idiot
Looks like him aye
Lol
😆
Their friendship is purer and genuine,it reflects clearly in Flea's expression.Awww he's got heart of gold,long live my darlings Tony and Flea 😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢
Flea is an amazing musician and even more important, an amazing spirit!
We’re supposed to be together in this life. So beautiful Flea !! Totally crying over here 😔😔
He has such a bright soul. He exudes love and sensitivity.
I loved his book. A LOT! I was astonished by how good it was. I'm still astonished by the insights and the writing. I listened to it on the set of CD's and it's Flea's voice doing the talking.

I just love Flea’s authenticity and the strength of showing tears! ♥️
He’s so connected with himself and others around him.
Love this guy!
Man, that’s so fucking awesome. Flea is a sensitive soul and to find someone who understands his beautiful creative mind must mean the WORLD
Everytime I see flea cry I also well up.
Long live flea. He’s beautiful and an amazing musician and person.
Flea is one of the funniest and coolest guys one can meet. He is so wild and full of life. No one needs drugs. They just need Flea in their lives.
The more i see his interviews, the more i can tell how much a big kid he is with such a big heart.
He's so passionate it's infectious
They found a friendship that is rare and a share love of music that has touched millions. Thank you for the music.
I would love to meet Flea someday .. he's been a soul and musician I've looked up to my whole life loving RHCP. I'm their age and grew up with their music. SO MUCH JOY and FUN
This seriously is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever watched on youtube.
I love Flea...he is a one if the best bass players in the world and a transparent beautiful human being.
Everything Flea says is so intelligent and well spoken. I desperately need to talk to this man about life
Jessilyn Collette-
You can talk to me 🤷🏻♂️😅
I’m one and the same Lol
*Flea gets emotional while remembering his mom.
Love him, AK and RHCP so much.
I don't always cry.
But When I do..
Its because Flea is an amazing human thay shows how much he loves his life and his friends, and his family and music.
Truth is... This flea, I'll never scratch off.
LOVE YA! ~E
I started crying watching this. They have been friends for so long. I love them both
To seeing such a friendship between men like this is beautiful and rare to see; thankfully we get to see how this friendship has played out for years and continue to see it.
One of the best person on Earth, in addition of being litterally the best bassist in the world, I love him
This is the sweetest shit I've ever seen; i can honestly see them buried in the same grave when they pass to the otherside
edit: Y'all please chill out in the replies we're here to spread peace and love not fight
I would like to bury them in a grave together before they die.
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 now that's tearing me up greatly.
To the otherside....
HOW LONG, HOW LOOOONG
I think you mean IF they pass
Love that it's ok'er ;) that real men can show real feelings about and for other men...
Love your honesty Flea!
he is so pure about his feelings and life in general. I hope I would find the "Anthony" that he once found.
Actually... I think it's the memory of his mom and the emotion he feels/felt at the time when he was 15. It was a powerful moment that was profound.
Ooof, I felt that.
That was beuitiful.
My favorite band.... I knew they were friends but I didn't know their connection ran that deep and to hear it, makes me very happy for them and for all of us that they found each other to make this incredible music together.
God I love Flea, not only is he my favorite bassist of all time, but he’s such a pure soul in the essence of rock and roll and as a human being, as nuts as he is he’s also so human and I wish I could meet him
Just came back from London RHCP concert,you guys rule!!!
I love Flea, he is such a loyal, loving and trustworthy friend. I wish I had grown up with him in my life
Such a real dude and he wears it on his sleeve. I've seen him get emotional and cry during multiple interviews. When you truly love people, it shows.
Flea is such a good guy and amazing bass player!
Just saw chilli peppers in sydney last night. these guys are profound. Flea played Pea, was so good.
Wow! Haha I did not expect to cry before leaving for work this morning. Thank you Flea for being such a true artist and human.
My best friend sent me this out of the blue a while back and it was probably the best gift he’s ever given me.
Flea is the one itch you never want to scratch the wrong way, what a cool guy
i started crying whenever flea quoted what his mom said “mom, mom! i finally found someone i can talk to.”
I had a flea. We were also inseparable. Brothers right from day one (starting at age 10). Then he died waaaaaay too young (29). 18 years later and I still miss him every day.

How amazing it would be to make a world-renowned succesfull music band with basically your brother? Those two are really amazing
This made me get a little teary eyed. Bless Flea, seems like such a nice dude. I wish you were my grandad Fleaaaaa!!!!!!
It’s so beautiful watching him describe his friendship ❤️
when you have friends since fifteen at his age..you know those are bros's for life!..something I always wanted!..lost touch with my real best mate since primary school in our late 30's..since 2018 lost touch with every one I knew growing up as as kid..but having this meant the world to me growing up..much love flea for showing it does exist without having to change who you are intrinsically..because there are folks who align...amen!
No se pone emocional por su amistad con Anthony. Sino que recuerda ese momento en su cabeza y su madre ahi escuchandolo. Y el hecho de que ella no este. Eso lo conmueve. Flea un gran ser humano. Con un gran corazon!.
Hey man, it may be vicariously, but so many people love you. Thank God for your mom, and mine, and most of them. Flea your beautiful.
Currently reading his memoir now. I love the way his voice shines through his writing.. fantastic.
so happy hes still with us... HUGE part of my life and my music throughout my life just...
I'm halfway through reading Anthony Kiedis' autobiography, Scar Tissue. It's a GREAT read! Kiedis talks a lot about his friendship with Flea throughout the book. They have such an endearing bond, I fucking LOVE Flea man! And seeing him express his love for Anthony is very touching.

Flea is the most beautiful famous human I know. Hope he lives forever.
This interview demonstrates that some brothers are born together, while others find each other along the way on their private and shared journeys thru life!

one can only dream to have Flea as your best friend. Anthony is also very lovely!
Imagine someone loving and respecting you so much that the only way he can rationalize your relationship actually working the way it has is through cosmic/universal means. I hope that my future kid can be someone's Flea someday.
Brings a tear : )
Anyone reading this... Anyone watching this... I hope you find someone special in your life that you can relate to on a massive scale. Being alone is the worst thing...
Flea you're a legend mate! Much love!
I think is amazing that 2 guys have been friends their whole live pretty much. With all they've been trew together I would say they have a bond and love that very few humans have with another person! Great for them
I love how poetic his description.
This is actually first time I ever heard Flea says the words MICHAEL😏
He is one one of the most genuine guy's out there today making music...
Michael is an amazing person he has so much passion for music and he's just a very humble and just a great person
im getting emotional seeing kurt loder again!! what an absolute living treasure! he needs to save music and mtv because music lives through him.
I don't know this man, I've never met him in my entire life, but ,I love him.
I very much met a friend at school like that. I hope everyone has a best friend who is like a brother or sister.
Awww ❤️❤️❤️ Flea is such a good soul.
Flea is on another level. Personally & musically. Anthony is lucky to have Flea in his life, but I think he knows that, which is good.
He is so special and bright soul.
Another prime example of why Flea is just a tremendous human.
Never met the man, but he sounds like a good human being.
You know how a person mature in life whenever he/she cries for simple matters like remembering someone special.
I freakin knew it! Flea has always been the sweetest presence and I don't know if he has ever not smiled, and Anthony is his perfect match. I've been a fan since I was 17, and have first cassette they made, and I'm now 53, seen em in Concert in 08 i believe with my adult daughter who loves them like me. Sooooo damn cool! I knew that baby kickin was jammin not just movin. My son too is also a huge fan. I'm a hella momma! Raised em on Pepper's
Parenting: you did it right 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Flea is so adorable. I love him very much. He is so authentic and emotional. It's wonderful, to be a part of RHCP for Flea. His relationship with Anthony is so gorgeous. I love them all. 🤗🌶️💓🤗🌶️💓
I'm not crying... you're crying. Love this band and guy. First concert I ever saw when I was 14 and it changed my life
I saw them over a month ago and it was one of the best nights of my life and I'm 51 years old.
