I've been an RHCP fan since the 80's when i first heard the album freaky styley. Still am a fan. They come a long way. I like the book scar tissue as well .
One reason I picked up the bass in my 40’s Loved RHCP since high school ❤️flea Music is my escape. Husband got me this style bass for birthday Love everything he does
Flea is an national born citizen in Australia, Melbourne. A member of RHCP. I would like to just say a very Happy 59th birthday to Michael Peter Balzary. October 16, 1962 Flea was a trumpet prodigy but went with the bass. Thank goodness..
Was blessed to see him do this two days later in LA. One of the most memorable live music moments I’ve ever ever seen. He’s a transcendent musician and and a really great human being.
Add to this if you know more... Flea- bass, trumpet, piano John- guitar, electric things, drum machine, mixing, vocal Josh- drums, guitar, piano, electronic things, vocal Chad- drums, piano, painting himself playing the drums Anthony- lyricist, vocal *And yes, I added Josh in there because he's damn amazing and because he was with them for 10 years!
Mr. Flea is amazing! A very creative and versitile musician full of tallent. I didn't know he played trumpet so well too! Well, I can added he´s a very expressive dancer too. He dances very good!...He´s so funny...!😁 I never get tired to watch this video. It's the third or fourth or ...time that I watch it! I've always loved you all RHCP! When do you give us the joy of seeing you perform together again, Misters? We miss you so much...your music is fabulous, fantastic, beautiful, interesting and all adjectives I can remember...
Imagine have a transcendent talent that shuts everything down in your mind and amplifies and releases the cerebral energy so beautifully and so much so that for a moment he is truly lost in his vibe and most likely barely aware of his surroundings. Truly giving himself to the music and the music he creates rewards him with that experience . Now that’s real freedom What a gift. If we could be so free that we could allow our own creativity out, imagine how we too would feel in that moment. Make way for what matters.
Trumpet was his first instrument. He was on of the top players in his high school. He picked up bass in his late teens once his close friend invited him to join RHCP as a bassist.
I’m listening to the remake of Little Sunflower ...Sunflower by Milt Jackson. Freddie Hubbard is brilliant on that track. I love Little Sunflower as well.
Just remember…all this while…flea was secretly jamming with John, when he suddenly started doing these solo performances with a looper and appearing very experiemental jazz…. Right around the time John referenced that he had gone back and listened to all their work. I cannot fucking wait for the new peppers album
The note at the end of the book of powerful enough to jumpstart the saddest soul in the hardest of times. I love that book and will continue to listen to it when I feel lost and Trapt in the standards of the world around me
This is what I reach for in life. This true, pure actualization of self. This elevation of consciousness to higher and higher intentional order and abandonment of entropy. When I observe someone like Flea, I acknowledge that maximizing one's existence must be independent of any arbitrary dogma or rules founded by our peers. I observe that a person's expression of goodness takes whatever form resides inside them. A farmer's creative goodness may be their beautiful nurturing of plants to produce fantastic food. A video game developer's might be their deep immersion in their sets of software code to produce magical experiences for game players. Flea's is his music. And all are good.
Okay, so I love me some RHCP and I love me some Flea, too! I've always known that he is a badass bass player (a few of the RHCP concerts I've gone to over the years featured him going off on solos) and also a decent/good trumpet player. This 14-minute piece makes me really want Flea to join a good fusion band when he has time off with the RHCP. While I love his funk stuff, I'd really love to see him explore more of his experimental jazz side of things. I think he'd be great!
Flea was my whole inspiration for learning to play trumpet. As a kid I thought the trumpet was a lame instrument, but the moment I learned Flea played trumpet it removed my negative outlook.

That tiny snippet of Little Sunflower at 5:53 was magical
The RHCP is a fountain of talent. Chad plays piano beautifully as well. Every young musician should aspire to be half this great.
And then there's Anthony.
@@gminor6288 Hey that’s not fair he sings in tune sometimes
@@nickchambers3935 lol yeah. Just meming really. Great catchy writer with great rhythm. Def talented as well.
@@gminor6288 AK, the outsider !
@@gminor6288 his skill is writing, which he does impeccably
Damn. He always let's us know how much he's FEELING the music! He's not making music... he IS music!
That’s the diff between good music and iconic music. Being immersed is a whole new dimension of Music.

Never too late to learn. Music is timeless. Happy playing Eva, make Flea proud!
Words fail to describe how freaking awesome is flea. Love him so much.
I'm so _VERY GRATEFUL_ to have resonated with FLEA and every RHCP.
(simply, thank you) 🌱

I didn’t want it to end. I could have listened to him for hours. Beautiful soul.
The greatest 14.14 min of my life. Fleas has always been in his own world. He plays the bass with his whole body. #goat

Flea- bass, trumpet, piano
John- guitar, electric things, drum machine, mixing, vocal

*And yes, I added Josh in there because he's damn amazing and because he was with them for 10 years!
john can play keyboard
Many of the electric things are synthesizers
Anthony plays guitar too
Flea can play piano too
@@TheGreendaleHumanBeing he certainly plays it better than me!😁
It’s always a treat when flea plays trumpet
Este flea es tipo tan talentoso me encanta su tono de voz lo amo❤❤❤
5:53 he quotes little sunflower, so cool
Emotion being the key ingredient, beautiful playing

Thank You God for people like Flea!

This is amazing. I had no idea Flea was an outstanding trumpet player.
Trumpet was his first instrument. He was on of the top players in his high school. He picked up bass in his late teens once his close friend invited him to join RHCP as a bassist.
Listen to Pretty Little Dirty from Mother's Milk.
It's my favorite of my favorite RHCP song and features Flea playing trumpet.
Outstanding? 😂😂
Superb trumpet tone
@@johnstjohn6658 a 5 second sample from that song made the entirety of Crazy Town's career (if people still remember who that is)
This is one of my favorite videos
OMGEEEEE 2023! Getting his Chet Baker On! I Love It!
It only took 2 years for this clip and I to finally meet. It makes my heart so full to know that flea is on planet earth. Thank you for everything.
Being a trumpet player too this just is excellent music!!
What a musician... Is magic, wonderful, great... Flea is pure genius
What a great talent.
What a great suit.
At 5:50 he is playing a sample from Freddie Hubbard's Little Sunflower, if you recognized it, otherwise and if you like jazz, it is worth listening.
Coming from the jazz piano, I basically only listen to jazz and I am absolutely adoring this guy. His understanding of harmonics is very very good.
I’m listening to the remake of Little Sunflower ...Sunflower by Milt Jackson. Freddie Hubbard is brilliant on that track. I love Little Sunflower as well.
Damn! He's so good with the trumpet!
@MichaelPeterBalzary148 man your tone is amazing
Flea's life lessons are epic too.
Flea is the reason I play bass and try as hard as I do still to this day. When he performs its absolutely breathtaking and impossible to not groove...
Y también es muy elegante kuando kiere se ve estupendo mi flea❤❤❤
what the heck this is the most beautiful thing to be in my day for sure
Just remember…all this while…flea was secretly jamming with John, when he suddenly started doing these solo performances with a looper and appearing very experiemental jazz….
Right around the time John referenced that he had gone back and listened to all their work.
I cannot fucking wait for the new peppers album
That was amazing, Flea! I could listen to a whole album of this. Trumpet sounds incredible. Thank you! LOVE the cool purple and blue suit too!
Wow ! I just got emotional from listening to an outstanding musician. Flea you are outstanding sir
His writing is phenomenal as well!!! 3/4 of the way through Acid for the Children! SUCH BRILLIANCE , BEAUTY AND TRUTH!!
Such a good book
The note at the end of the book of powerful enough to jumpstart the saddest soul in the hardest of times. I love that book and will continue to listen to it when I feel lost and Trapt in the standards of the world around me
Awesome book!!!!
Flea you are an extraordinary being with a golden heart! Regards from Le Mexique!
Here's me thinking I couldn't love this guy more... seriously, this guy is what more people should aspire to be.
Amazing! When I'm 60 years old I wanna do that.
SOUND OF THE ETERNAL
Flea is dope...
6 min in that little sunflower lick is superb
That was an amazing journey thank you flea
One for the mushroom playlist for sure
His awsomeness is more contagious than I won't say it out loud
Such a fun soul... bless you Flea
9:51 - Such a perfect bassline
It reminds me of how some songs in The Getaway sounds
Easily one of my favorite musicians ever
This is one of the greatest composed songs ever. So much talent it’s unreal.
This was AWSOME!!!!! A CHANGE IN THINGS .
I keep coming back to hear the trumpet playing, his sound is great.
I wasn't expecting that! Brilliant performance!
Wow. Wow. Wow. A reminder that Flea started in jazz and was in that documentary about Chet Baker
This Is The Dopest Thing I've Ever Witnessed & The Sound Is Eargasmic!
8:35 my soul lift up for a moment
My fav musician of all Time! Hail Flea...
This guy...this freaking guy. Really great stuff.

Love is the answer.
Flea has great tone on that trumpet. Nice
That D. Boon sticker is life. Listen to the Minutemen, you'll hear why Flea has that sticker on his bass
💙😉
Flea at his finest!!
He could record entire albums by himself!
I believe he has, it is a bit different tho.
John made this, sound from another planet....
wish i could have flea in my head playing like that as my daily internal soundtrack 24/7!
Wow..another perfect example of the magic of a live performance. Damn pandemic.
Flea at his best what a legend 🔥🔥
He could play that trumpet part all day for me. Love it
Incredible artist
LOVE THIS MAN!
He's like a mad scientist! ❤️
I am learning how much I really adore the world and music abilities. WOW!!!!! CHILLED UP ALREADY!!!!!
Damn Flea! Always surprises me! Awesome and beautiful performance
Fleas trumpet work on Nirvanas live performance was the greatest
Flea is the definition of music
Love
Te amo Fleaaaaa
bless this man!
That was amazing!
not only is this so awesome, but his book is far better than most musicians' books. love this guy

He is better than a decent/good trumpet player. He was accepted and attended Julliard for trumpet performance.
Beatiful playing, I hear sound like from North Sumatera and West Borneo, Indonesia 🇮🇩❤️🤟
💙😁
Absolutely beautiful 🤘😎
This band is pure art
I like really how he play the trumpet!!
Is a revalation!!
I love you so much Flea, so much...
Awesomeness👍👍👍
Just holy fuск. Amazing
I just loved this ❤️
Cool and Lovely...
Alucinante! Love from Colombia.
he is just amazing
Awesome
So happy to see such a talented musician Branch out and do things on his own. Metallica should be so lucky
That trumpet tone takes many thousands of hours to achieve.
Maravilloso!!
Flea was my whole inspiration for learning to play trumpet. As a kid I thought the trumpet was a lame instrument, but the moment I learned Flea played trumpet it removed my negative outlook.
Sublime
My heart swells ❤
💜Flea💜
Love you..Flea.
I just love him
