Michael Peter Balzary (born October 16, 1962), better known by his stage name Flea, is best known as the bassist of the alternative rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers. Rolling Stone magazine wrote "if there were a Most Valuable Bass Player award given out in rock, Flea could have laid claim to that bitch ten years running". In 1984, Flea was playing so aggressively that he had worn a hole in his thumb and he was literally screaming in pain in-between songs. "What mattered was how you hit them [basses] and your emotional intent, and I still think that's the bottom line."
This video has received thousands of thumbs ups. Presumably from people who didn't have holes in theirs.
