like The Stones

Matthew Lacey fuck you

gonzalo pardo-figueroa Hell yeah! RHCP FOREVER!

All the best bands are. It’s not as much about talent as it is chemistry.

GPF TV this comment needs a thousand thumbs up gor its truth!

Name like me :)

Lillian Griffin ikr I like died during his speech he's so heartfelt

Bigger soul than most rockers. Can’t you tell?! Love the man.

I cried during his speech

I was actually going to write the same thing....

Joe KooL damn fucking right man, couldnt have said it better. Mad respect for Flea

So true! What a dude! I look up to him on so many levels

Joe KooL I'm not gonna lie,his speech made me cry.Love this guy!

+Joe KooL Flea looks like he easily has another 50 years of bass playing ahead of him. So much energy.

Did you see how he did the introduction of metallica (rock and roll hall of fame). Just brilliant

+breeanna Dorough He is this good spirit of RHCP. Very funky, very cheerfull and very emotional guy.

+breeanna Dorough he was on acid

+Steven Robicheaux no, they stopped taking drugs a while ago..

breeanna Dorough I'm dead ass crying

Same :')

CocoXo if Dave was there people probably would of booed

We all know if he got on stage at this event, he would broke down and cry. Chili peppers was the best thing ever happen in his life. He was the fan of RHCP, became one of the member and became one of the most influential guitarist in history.

Sound Mind e

how come he didn't go?

musicisgoodcp because john doesnt like be famous he said before that he preffer the begining of the band when they werent famous at all

Daniel Roth "I would like to honor the great musician John Frusiciante" (whispers to Kiedis Fuck Dave Navarro)

Him and Les Claypool are the main reasons why I love playing slap on my bass

Daniel Roth me too if it werent for flea i wouldn't have gotten to be a good bassist HES MY HERO

Andrew Pappas fuck yeah they're my heros

ocono g Hell yeah, my other influences: Paul McCartney, Geddy Lee, John Entwistle, Steve Harris and Cliff Burton

😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The rumor is they shagged once or twice.

@@hunam3876 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

+Tinker Sbg You can even sea Flea whispering it in the background. These guys are the best.

hilarious xD

I didn't realize this until I saw your post. good catch

Its amusing now but Im sure it wasnt funny then bc of Anthony's addiction at that time

Did you see flea mouthing it too at the same time?

the same happened to me, he made me shed a.tear. you are.completely right

AMEN!

@@danipaice4 Just "a" tear"? WATERFALLS! :D

Mr. Meeseeks Fuck I dont know wheter to hate u or just agree with u

Yh agreed

:'(

almost instantly

Couldnt wait to take it off 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 feeling red hot ya know 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

100%

Jack never recovered from that loss (tbh I never did too, and I never even met the guy, so we can only imagine how it was for Jack, Anthony and Flea!). But it was great to see him playing with his friends again, even if it was just one song.

Next to Bonham, Moon, Rich and Paice ....

dockaiser and grohl and Copeland and peart

yeah I forgot Copeland, ....

Wiil Ferrell

dockaiser said coolest not best but I think grohl is a cooler tho

Definitely,i can listen to them and watch them forever uninterrupted 😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Thats not even a question !!

Yesssss i love them so much

Is there another funk alternative rock band? Lol

@@tylurmackinnon6217 you can say funkadelics early work was alternative funk

Good luck, man.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 agreed

That’s not a bad idea. Something like the dirt.

Those two have had a drum off it’s awesome to watch

Me too

Yes. Still miss him

I'm reading that right now and it pisses me off of how bad his dad was he got him into drugs

He did ALOT of drugs

Anthony's addiction and Hillels heroin od. Its sad. Good that "Tony" survived

@@Dallin-ud9xh same here 😣

💕

for sure

nope he is bursting at the seams with it . looking at your pic id fill you up with love :)

Me too - when I am feeling like crap and can't go on, I come back to his speech and that quote...I never get tired of it!

Can you write there what he said

Janes addiction.

Metallica

yeah, you can see Chad gettin choked up when Flea was talking

+YaYa Llewellyn Totally, he was holding back tears all the time, even during his speech I thought he was gonna shed a tear. Emotional induction.

Victor Wooten is better in my opinion

Jonathan Flores victor wooten is not better. He is technically a better player. But just play a good groove (the most important thing for a bass player) flea wins it. Jaco pastorius or maybe 1 or 2 others are better. But you know, i think you only can compare musicians if they play in the same genre! Btw watch stanley clark with friends, with flea. Great jazz bass solo!

Shana C. Umm...John Entwistle of The Who

Shana C. Rob Trujillo or Les Claypool..GEEZER.

Peter Hook? Joy division

They actually cut out parts of the speech I believe, and Chad did mention Dave and other things. Idk why they would cut it out.

Well it was kinda a bad time for the band. They fired Dave Navarro and mananged to get John Frusciante back. They haven't played any One Hot Minute songs since Dave left. But yeah I think some of the speech was edited out (But I don't know that for sure).

Like Dave or not he was part of the peppers history. Their history is iconic and so is Dave. For the peppers to be who and what they are Dave and Hillels fates had to be what they were. It was written in the stars

Definitely. Some photos of the band elicit these raw emotions. Having John in there and showing the members smile is a classic one. Chad may yet be smiling as well... :)

But now he's coming back again

Never give up on music. Keep doing what you love. Rock on

wildphet Flea is legend and shall never be forgotten

Lucas Argandoña aguante Boca loco

Can't stop is john's and john's only No one esle can do it with such perfection

RetsillAcM nairB

RetsillAcM nairB

RetsillAcM nairB very well said!!!!

John didn't go because he no longer was obligated to and didn't care to. He only ever really cared about creating and playing music to the best of his abilities- not the b.s. of being famous--including&especially awards. But I'm with you, when John decided to leave the band-- it was his call to make. They knew he would at some point, before they were ready to "retire". He knew he got to where he had had enough and was ready to move onto his projects&life. Away from the circus parade. Haters? I vote Bless Josh for being able and willing to do it. comparing the two of them is stupid. It's just different but that train will keep moving so why bother being negative to Josh? He didn't create the situation but he was able to make sure RHCP remain. Enjoy the new music we all get to hear!

John doesn't give a FUCK about the fame its ALL the music!

Philip Zimmermann Wen haben wir denn da ^^

James M first two albums I purchased of theirs was Uplift Mofo Party Plan & Mother's Milk (same purchase). The shift from them with Hillel & Jack to Chad & John was drastic...in a good way. I immediately bought all their albums prior (mother's milk was the new album at the time) and have never looked back since. BSSM blew them up but for me, the opening riff of True Men Don't Kill Coyotes still gives me chills. And they're still as fresh as they were with their first album in 1984. Long live RHCP. Hillel, RIP. You were a true God and we miss you every day. If you haven't heard the band Jack was in a few years later, Eleven, check them out. You will not be disappointed. Stumbled upon them by accident actually at a CD shop in Burbank by my high school. Saw this CD sitting there...this had to be around 1991. I recognized Jack's picture and was instantly intrigued. Saw that band open for a then relatively unknown QOTSA in 2000 at this place in Denver. Anyhow, check them out as well.

its sad that anthony didnt mention chad at all.

I agree my mom's friend was like "Yeah the drums are boring in rhcp" I was like bitch do you play drums ???

I agree; he's wonderful!

HelloJohn drummers never really get the credit they deserve I feel 😢😢😢😢

I really think this is cut. And I really hope they talked about Chad.

BlueLead1945 both of them have a different style man.. flea have antoher level energy that make you feel his bass ...

Flea is just very Iconic to me. I have been listening to the peppers since I was a kid and flea was the first person to make me pay attention to a bass player. There are many other greats,but seeing the live footage of flea at any venue in the last few years shows he is still the crazy onstage persona he has always been,and his heart is still 100% into it.

+BlueLead1945 1# marcus miller 2#flea #8 jaco

+Travis Lee No! Chuck Norris is the bass, and Flea is the only one, who can play it!!!

+BlueLead1945 YES MEN IS THE FATHER OF CHUCK NORRIS..

I never stop

i just saw them in concert in september and they (and he) were so amazing. i cried i was so happy lmao.

+KSMB by Christele Mbosso Hopefully the new album (coming this summer) will have a lot more contributions from Josh

+Shane Halliwell howd you know its coming this summer?

+foempjeboem 17 june

he is really improving the peppers

+valdi vall Blasphemy. They will never be as good as they were with John. In your heart of hearts you know it too.

@@frankiecommisso48 scumbag band? In what way you fucking spoon, they are literally loving caring exemplary human beings, degenerate

I love you too!

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH

Jack looks like a 30’s mafia member, but Cliff looks like a British businessman.

Hahahaha

I've seen at least a dozen induction on KZfaq, and his was the worst, unfortunately. Dave Letterman had less than 24 hours to prepare to induct Pearl Jam, and did far better.

Chris Ashby agree, I hate it, he doesn’t even listen their music

@@romarina2687 yes he does.

i disagree

@@romarina2687 oh yes, he does. Don´t know if you follow the RHCP carrer, but if you do you'll know how Chris listen do their musica and how close friends they´re.

HAHAHAHAAHAH

honestly makes complete sense

Yesterday I had sex

@@CaptainTrash367 congratulations

Jk I’m still a virgin :( epic sad

I kinda feel like that's because he doesn't want to speak.. Yes, he is kind of pushed away since he's new, but keep in mind they have been friends since like 2000! He probably just felt like not talking like always!

McSireson Been friends since like 1983. But Yea I agree with what you're saying.

Since 1983? What are you talking about? They met Josh during the Californication tour in 2000 when the band he was in, Bicycle Thief, opened for them.

I think he meant the rest of the band have been friends since '83.

But the whole conversation was about Josh? That comment was very out of place.

OnboardRacing haha love him

flanunu It was so WOW...everyone up there; a pure musical party FEAST! I loved it!!!

To get to love them is a spiritual funky journey

thx!

Sorry, yeah memory is not too good. I did consult their gig listing and figured I'd got it wrong.

THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!!

Sniff sniff You smell that Sniff Bullshit

IssuesBand Why would I BS about something like that. I don't really like them.

The primitives were also on the bill at Camden Electric Ballroom.

+Mitch Kincaid No doubt. Josh's playing here was complete shit.

+Dottie Dig agreed. In my opinion, Josh hasn't done anything. His "I'm with you" parts are so simple that they might as well not be in the album.

Mitch Kincaid I agree. I don't dislike Josh as an individual but his music reminds me more of White Stripes/Jack White type guitar playing and is not nearly as technically perfect or melodic, and beautiful as Johns compositions.

+JaCodi Akers He left the band around 2007-2008. He was their guitarist that changed their music for the better co-created all of their greatest hits. Because he left, their songs lack and are missing something (mainly because their current guitarist isn't as experienced). Maybe there will be more improvement from their summer album

+Mitch Kincaid i feel you man i didnt get their new stuff. im a huge frusciante fan. i loved his raw talent. its sad he didnt go . i dont think its about experience though . their current guitarist just isnt him . frusciante is special.
