Hi Flea, big fan here! I actually just finished writing a research paper about your bass playing earlier this month! It was about how you turn the bass into both a rhythmic and a melodic instrument simultaneously. (I actually asked the folks at /r/redhotchilipeppers to help me out a bit!)

My favourite area of investigation was regarding live performances. Some of my favourites included the bass solo at the end of Dani California in Milan (2006) or when John’s guitar rig stopped working during Throw Away Your Television so you carried the song forward in Paris (Also 2006).

So I have four questions for you:

1) What has been your favourite RHCP live performances to date and why?

2) Have you dabbled in instruments outside of bass recently?

3) You recently said that the new album is gonna be full of “super danceable funky shit and some real introspective, pretty stuff”. Could you expand on that?

4) Chad smith and Will Ferrell had their charity drum/cowbell-off. If you could have a bass/?-off with anybody, who would it be, why, and can we make this happen?

Thanks again for holding this AMA! /u/KreamLovesYa

Hi Jill! With the polarizing nature of the current Democratic and Republican candidates, this coming election will attract a lot of new voters to alternative parties. How do you plan on maintaining the momentum that the Green party will achieve over the rest of the election season?

Jack! Huge fan here! I have a couple of questions!

A) Favorite fan cover of a Vulfpeck song?

B) Can Antwaun Stanley please learn the words to I Wish so we can get a full version at the live shows?

C) I make piano covers on the Internet. Right now I layer three tracks of piano to make the sound fuller; one normal track, one at an octave lower, and one at an octave higher. How can I stop them sounding as muddy?

^{Lastly, Madison, WI awaits you...}

I, too, would like to know this.
