#1884 - Anthony Kiedis

Joe Rogan (0:04)

The Joe Rogan Experience. Good to see you, man.

Anthony Kiedis (0:14)

What is really happening?

Joe Rogan (0:15)

Your show was fucking great.

Anthony Kiedis (0:17)

Thank you.

Joe Rogan (0:18)

I really enjoyed it.

Anthony Kiedis (0:18)

I'm so happy to hear that. What that means to me is even on an off night, we're still pretty good.

Joe Rogan (0:23)

That was an off night?

Anthony Kiedis (0:24)

Way off. Really?

Bad sound.

Joe Rogan (0:28)

Sound was bad?

Anthony Kiedis (0:29)

For me.

Joe Rogan (0:29)

Sound good.

Anthony Kiedis (0:32)

We have high standards.

Joe Rogan (0:33)

I guess. It was excellent.

Anthony Kiedis (0:35)

Thank you.

Joe Rogan (0:36)

So what else was wrong? High, the sound?

Anthony Kiedis (0:39)

I like to dance and I like to get the mojo flowing at maximum photon speed.

And my knee was locked up, so I couldn't fully flow, which is disconcerting and it actually throws my singing off as well. But.

Joe Rogan (0:57)

Well, we talked afterwards about your knee injury, but while you were on stage, I didn't notice anything. You moved great.

Anthony Kiedis (1:04)

I can move better, but thanks.

The good news for me is I'm surrounded by John, Chad and Flea, which is just like a huge uplifting energy circle. So they carry me.

Joe Rogan (1:20)

Yeah. How did you injure your knee? Is it just from all the years of dancing on stage?

Anthony Kiedis (1:24)

Pounding, pounding on stage for a hundred years. Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:27)

You know Maynard from Tool? He's got a artificial hip.

Anthony Kiedis (1:31)

Mm-hmm.

Joe Rogan (1:32)

Stomping.

Anthony Kiedis (1:33)

From stomping.

Joe Rogan (1:34)

From stomping on stage, he blew his fucking hip out.

Anthony Kiedis (1:37)

I'm not surprised. What I am surprised is that Mick Jagger hasn't blown both of his hips out.

Joe Rogan (1:42)

Ah, man, we saw him when he was at COTA, the Circuit of the Americas here in Austin. It was insane. First of all, it was like a psychedelic experience just seeing him. Because you can't believe that's really Mick Jagger up there. Like that's the fucking Rolling Stones.

They were incredible.

And he's still dancing around. He's as old as Biden.

Anthony Kiedis (2:03)

He's as old as, which is an official expression, by the way.

Joe Rogan (2:07)

Yeah, I mean, that's, he's like commensurate. It's like, I think he's basically the same age, right? Like, what is Biden? Biden's like 78

And I think Mick Jagger is like 78 as well. I think he's in the neighborhood, right?

How old is he? You can ask your friend. I think it's because he's 79

Anthony Kiedis (2:26)

He's so light. His bone structure, his anatomy is light.

And he's written a song or two.

Joe Rogan (2:34)

He's older by four months or so. He's older than Biden. That's insane.

Anthony Kiedis (2:38)

As you said, he's older than Biden.

Joe Rogan (2:40)

But meanwhile, he talks great. No, he's not. No, he's not. I'm sorry. No? No, I misread that.

Anthony Kiedis (2:45)

They're twins.

Joe Rogan (2:46)

Biden's older by like eight months. November 42 versus... Those eight months are a motherfucker. The eight months is the difference.

Anthony Kiedis (2:52)

You and I shall see.

Joe Rogan (2:54)

Hopefully we'll see.

Anthony Kiedis (2:55)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:55)

If we're lucky.

Anthony Kiedis (2:56)

We need those black...

Joe Rogan (2:57)

How old are you now?

Anthony Kiedis (2:58)

I am looking at 60

Joe Rogan (2:59)

Looking at it.

Anthony Kiedis (3:00)

I'm looking at it. Two weeks away.

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (3:03)

How's it feel? You look great.

Anthony Kiedis (3:06)

I feel... Thank you.

You look great too.

Joe Rogan (3:08)

Thank you.

Anthony Kiedis (3:09)

Yep. I don't know how old you are, but...

Joe Rogan (3:11)

55 Wow.

Anthony Kiedis (3:13)

You look real good.

Joe Rogan (3:14)

Thank you.

Anthony Kiedis (3:14)

Yeah. We could grapple later.

It feels wonderful. It feels so good if I can do what I want to do for the next 20, 30 years, I'm just... Hallelujah.

Joe Rogan (3:29)

It's just a matter of the joints. The joints holding up.

Anthony Kiedis (3:32)

I think they're going to repair.

I think they're going to repair. I went hard last night and I feel better today than I did when I saw you a week ago.

Joe Rogan (3:38)

Oh, that's great. Did you get any treatments done on the knee or anything?

Anthony Kiedis (3:42)

Osteopathy.

Joe Rogan (3:43)

Osteopathy. What is that?

Anthony Kiedis (3:46)

Osteopathy is a medicine, a hands-on medicine, where you have to study for 12 years before you can touch a patient. They study anatomy, connectivity, all tissues, all bones. This girl is French, Lucille, and she gets in there and she starts feeling the hamstrings connected to the knee bones, connected to the calf things, connected to the archery foot. She just starts allowing your body to heal. She makes some space with her hands and her mind. Her mind. Oh yeah, you have to be focused. There's a concentration to it. It's not the biggest part, but it's a part.
