In a recent post on X, Flea responded to criticism about the Red Hot Chili Peppers live performances during their ongoing Global Stadium Tour.

The band typically plays 17 songs in their shows, which last for about one hour and forty-five minutes. A user reacted to that, writing:

“Yeah, the set list is way too short for a band with an extensive catalog. You guys are not a new band anymore. People would rather hear more songs and less extended jams. Heck, Stones, Macca, all play over 2 hours, close to 3 hours. Even Taylor Swift plays for almost 3 hours!”

After another fan discussed that they miss the jams on this tour, but the current audience at their shows isn’t really into it, the same user replied:

“There is a time and place for extended jams. You do that at a small club show, theater show, or promo show. But when you play stadiums, you have to play good songs and cut short the jams.”

The bassist stepped into the conversation and said:

“Always jam live. If you just wanna see a song played like on a record, just listen to the record. Where is the risk and hope for something higher without improvisation?”

This sort of criticism about the RHCP setlist on this tour is not new. Following their February shows in Sydney, the fans were disappointed because the band didn’t play many of their popular songs. Many complained about the setlist, which included mostly songs from their latest albums released in 2022. One of them wrote on social media:

“Good experience (but) won’t see them again. Their set was new song focused, and the crowd struggled to feel it.”

However, there were also some fans with a different perspective. One of them said:

“Of course, they’re gonna play new stuff when they released two new albums last year.”

Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea recently revealed his famous pants were stolen. The bassist wore the iconic baggy pants made from stuffed animals in Young MC’s ‘Bust A Move’ music video.

Upon being asked by a fan about them on Twitter, Flea revealed the bad news. His response to the fan’s tweet read:

“They were stolen from the trunk of my car along with my badass leather jacket. I had just moved into a nice house for the first time in my life and got robbed on the first night.”

The theft isn’t a recent incident. Flea first revealed his pants were stolen in a 2008 interview, and apparently, the trousers and the jacket weren’t the only thing that had been stolen from his trunk. The bassist explained:

“Someone stole them. It’s so funny because for years I always lived in crappy little apartments but right when we got the money from signing with Warner Brothers I got to buy a house. I bought a nice house in Los Feliz that I was real excited about.”

He revealed what else was stolen and detailed what happened next:

“I drove home and the first night at that house, someone broke into my car and stole my bass, my leather jacket and those stuffed animal pants out of my trunk. And I had lived in crappy neighborhoods for so long and never got robbed. As soon as I stepped up, someone took my stuff. I commissioned the girl who made them to make me another pair and I never saw the money or the pants again.”

The stuffed animal pants also appeared in Red Hot Chili Peppers’ ‘Higher Ground‘ and ‘Behind The Sun’ music videos. The popularity of the pants led to numerous replicas being created by fans.
