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
