If Flea fingered a pretty girl she would catch fire. Poor bugger. Fuckin ay! Fuckin Bass! Fuckin Talent! TALENT! Love the Flea bass sound. Has inspired me at 32 to purchase a semi decent base and learn the basics. Rhythmic, harmony and music theory. He's before his time.
i like flea was like "yeah im def not the best bass player, i do what i can do". makes me like him more and hate his fans that think hes the greatest more
What a RETARD INTERVIEWER! A drummer is the EASIEST person to play with!!! They hold the beat and you play over it. What a fucking idiot. Obviously NOT a musician.
@pvticetea600 SHUT THE FUCK UP asshole! you calling river phoenix a retard and a fucking idiot?! nuh uh. no sir, not gonna happen. so he asked a question that you think was pretty obvious....maybe he doesn't know that much about the bass, why do you think he's doing the fucking interview??? to find more about about it you asshole!!! if you ever say shit about river phoenix i'll end you. FUCKFACE. you don't even deserve to say his name.
@TheDowntown86 im not sure what about anyways... you just need a grow up. crying isnt gonna get you anything haha. and ya river phoenix or w/e is a fucking douche. peace
@TheDowntown86 im not sure what about anyways... you just need a grow up. crying isnt gonna get you anything haha. and ya river phoenix or w/e is a fucking douche. LOL dont overreact now kid.
@pvticetea600 honestly i don't even get why you're watching this video. cuz obviously all you could get out of it was that somebody said something you thought was obvious & you proceeded to call a guy you don't even know a fucking idiot. so pathetic. you sound just like one of those macho assholes flea mentioned earlier in the interview. i hope you have fun talking shit about some guy who died of a drug overdose at 23. it's really charming, though, u prob don't care, which is even more pathetic.
@pvticetea600 You really are shit at trolling. You're putting shame to trolls.
Just stop now before you make yourself even more of an ass. Also don't talk factfully on how to play music with another musician, there are no rules, it is whatever we choose to make it.
River is obviously not a musician, hence the interview. At least take into account that the guy was absolutely destroyed from drugs so the dim questions are expected but not insulted. Don't be a prick like that, it'll do you no good.
His idea of a rose sounds suspiciously like a vagina. I think he might of been making a point about masculinity in the little be what you wanna be part.
He can slap bass alright, however he can't half talk a bunch of nonsense...except for the play every note like its your last...i liked that part :D also lol at the interviewers reaction at 3:18, think pretty much anyone would have that reaction haha
man.. thoroughly enjoyed that. its more like master LIFE tutorial. what a cool guy to divulge so much on his musical philosophy. much thanks for the post!
He even admits that he is ignorant of basic musical theory. He seems like a decent guy, and he is a decent bassist. But Victor Wooten is lightyears beyond this guy.

River was so stoned..
Recently I found some vegan book from the eighties and his mum was interviewed saying that her children never even had vitamin supplements...lol,
I'm so sorry to see him like that, it means nobody cared enough to help him, coz he was clearly ill back then.

Victor is different.... and gets pretty boring after you've heard his tricks a few too many times.
Flea is raw and uses a blues-scale way too often. However not many have a hard over-hand slap funk like him.
