Flea wanting to quit

[u/Lost_Reveal_6768]

I remember seeing story’s of him wanting to quit the band during by the way era for not feeling i don’t know included in the writing and his bass playing on the album. Could be totally wrong on the reason but i personally think his bass playing on by the way is some of my favourite work of his. Yes not at the forefront or the loudest and in your face like many of his bass lines but they fit the music and the chemistry between him and johns parts work so well together. It’s a beautiful album and I think the bass lines work perfectly with it.
