Family Time Is Really Important

There's Something About The Rawness Of The Live Thing, There's No Rhythm Guitars Behind The Solo, Nothing Other Than What You Hear The People Playing At That Moment. It's Exciting, It's About The Performance.

We Always Feel Pretty Creative As Far As Writing Songs. We Write Them Together; We Just Get In A Room, Or On Occasion In Flea's Garage. We Just Sort Of Improvise, Like Jazz Musicians.

Drums All Have Their Own Particulars - Each Drum Has A Place Where They Sound The Best - Where They Ring Out And Resonate The Best, And The Head Surface Isn't Too Loose Or Too Tight, Mainly So You Get A Good Rebound Off Of The Head.

Family Time Is Really Important To Me.

For Live You Need A Microphone For The Snare And The High Hat, The Kick Drum, A Nice Stereo Overhead And One For The Toms - You Can Get Away With Using Four Mikes.
