Purple Sizzling Chili Peppers bassist Flea mentioned he’d barely had any direct contact with producer Rick Rubin whereas they labored on the band’s newest album, Limitless Love.
The bassist’s feedback had been printed quickly after Geezer Butler expressed dissatisfaction with Rubin’s famously eccentric method to producing Black Sabbath’s closing album, 13, calling it “ridiculous” and “mad.”
“, to be trustworthy, I didn’t see a number of him,” Flea mentioned to Bass Player of Rubin. “I feel he got here to at least one rehearsal, and he listened to the shit and he liked it. He provides us association recommendation, and he tells us how he thinks the essence of the tune might be introduced out higher.”
Limitless Love marked the primary RHCP launch with guitarist John Frusciante again within the band, who left the group in 2009 for a second time. He returned a decade later in 2019.
“John was gone for 10 years, and the primary second that we began jamming collectively once more, it was identical to speaking,” Flea mentioned. “We had been each craving for a similar factor to occur, and when the factor occurs, we’re each fully acutely aware that it’s taking place.”
“I really feel like we [the band] have a number of nice rhythms and chords and melodies and I simply need to stream by way of it, man,” he continued. “It may be a supportive factor, or it may be a hypnotic, repetitive factor which creates that meditative feeling of hypnosis that all of us need in music… it’s that human feeling that we would like, the connectedness of humanity, that we really feel once we hear nice music.”
