    Is Flea the glue of the band? I think he's the only one who's been great on every record. It's fun to listen to him talk. about anything.

      Keil He honestly is,
      I would suggest reading scar tissue - it's a biography of Anthony

      Keil He actually is. He kept the band alive when Anthony had a drug addition in the Chili's early years. He was the reason Anthony quit drugs and got more involved in the music.
