"Meet Flea of The Red Hot Chili Peppers on Thursday 17 December from 2pm until 3.30pm. Flea will be promoting his new line of bass guitars called Fleabass – signing the guitars and caps from the range"

Hummmmm
Not getting the sales numbers they hoped for then?
I wonder how much the caps are .....

[yorks5stringer]

4 string caps are £15, 5 string are £20....

Ah no chance! Squier by Fender caps are £9 and Epiphone by Gibson caps are £11.50!

[erisu]

I think I will take a trip down there as I work close to Oxford Street! Not so sure about buying a cap or the Flea bass though I'll see if I can get a picture or two hehe!

[jmesa]

£20 to ask Flea "whhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyy!?!?!??" seems reasonable..

I was about to deplore this unseemly hostility towards such an esteemed visitor to our little island during the season of goodwill to all men. For shame.

Then I noticed you [i]only[/i] get to meet him if you buy one of his rather expensive promotional hats. So [i]you're[/i] paying him £15 to advertise [i]his[/i] product. For that sort of money I'd expect a soapy ***-**** from his Missus.

I therefore invite the tight-fisted, gap-toothed, faux-psychotic, fanboy-exploiting fret-masher to pack his cash-filled Hermes bags and shag off home to his adoring acolytes, thus avoiding the likelihood of having a tightly-rolled item of headwear rammed up his Sheriff's badge.

I can't add anything to that, so I'll just say +1. Apart from the bit about his missus as I don't know whether she's a munter or not.

[Gareth Hughes]

Sorry Skankdelvar, but I'm a bit confused as to you position here. Could you reiterate your stance more clearly?

Ah now that's a bit mean. Munter or not, where's your festive spirit?

[The Funk]

I'm not buying another bass just to meet Flea. The cap thing is a possibility - if it's a decent looking cap. Any pics of the caps?

Thank you for this totally unwarranted attack on my character. My bags are made by Louis Vuitton.

Paperbag?

[lemmywinks]

I wouldn't buy a cap to meet Flea.

I would however buy a pair of Hi-Tech trainers to meet Jeff Berlin

I would also buy a wart to meet Lemmy

[Beedster]

It's interesting to note from the flyer that you can be one of the first 200 people to meet Flea. You'd have thought he'd have met over 200 people already, he's gotta be in his 40s and has been a rock star for a few years? Guess he's just a bit shy?

I bought a beer and met Lemmy, He then bought me one which I thought was very nice.

[yorks5stringer]

In the spirit of seasonal goodwill, could I just point out my comment regarding the price of the hats was tongue in cheek: some of you may have realised that anyway.......! I have no idea of the real price of them.

Bags by Louis Vuitton, starred in My Own Private Idaho, wears eye shadow, dyes his hair, mad keen on accessories... Does he have a missus?


I can't believe that no one has used that screen name before now!

Crafted in a Chinese hellhole by weeping orphans chained to benches and overlooked by a giant image of a glaring Mr Balzary, which bears the exhoratative slogan:

"Work well lest I cast you into my dungeon, whenceforth none do come."

[quote]The guitars themselves are available in two sizes and even come with an instructional DVD featuring Flea himself.[/quote]

[OldGit]

Does he still have the circus?

That's a bit harsh
I don't think there's any need for that kind of personal attack.
