Bassist Flea has revealed his least-favourite Red Hot Chili Peppers album.

Speaking with Los Angeles Times, he admitted that he hopes to re-record their 1984 self-titled debut album.

“I always regret the way we made the first one,” he explained. “I think the songs are really good. Our band was smoking at the time. But [drummer] Jack [Irons] and [guitarist] Hillel [Slovak] quit, and we hired these two other guys: Jack Sherman and Cliff Martinez.”

He continued, explaining how the dynamic shifted the recording of the album. “Both were great musicians, but the connection just wasn’t as profound as we had with the guys we started with. I’ve often wanted to go back and re-record that album, but I can never talk anyone into it.”
