A never before published interview with Flea from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers in 1996

In the interview, Flea talks about:

If it’s strange to think of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers as an arena band
If this is the band’s best lineup
Was it a goal for the band to become this big
What made him pick up the bass
What other instruments he plays
The meaning behind the song Pea
Whether he is different offstage
His pro-mosh-pit stance
How to be a good father
What kind of musician he will be when he’s 50 years old.
Where John Entwistle might have gone wrong
If he regrets his past drug use
Does he care if he gets into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
His love for Iggy Pop

In this episode, we have the bassist and founding member of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Flea. At the time of this interview in 1996, Flea was 34 years old and was promoting the band’s upcoming concert with new guitarist Dave Navarro.
