Red Hot Chili Peppers (live) - Flea Bass Solo

[NotTonTon]

HE HAS A SHIRT ON LIVE?!?!?

[aeopmusic]

That just sounded like crap. Flee's good on the base but this video don't show it.

[Daveybassify]

OMG, is this NOT the most over rated bass player in the world?

[uutooyu]

modern day jaco pastorious

[PositiveHalo]

He needs to take off that Lakers cheerleader outfit...seriously.

[jo3MW]

@PositiveHalo he does what he wants!

[willbassyeahsgindo]

flea fingered a girl once...she died once, reincarnated just to get fingered again.And she come back to live again and go to the market to buy some fish. Cant fucking believe you guys read this comment HAHA

[funkydod]

pastorius like...

[MrBassnVocals]

Flea should really learn scales so his playing would make more sense. Not trolling I love these guys.

[petepetruzzi]

his outfit is very hump de bump

[k0stil]

is that Marcel Rodriguez on percussions?

[thecockroachlord]

Will ferrell on drums

[DL345]

@unfixedgalaxy Even though it's just my opinion? I could honestly care less if you like his new solos, they still require talent. It's just that I don't.

[Iam181993]

Sweet outfit.



[adds102]

Anyone know who the guy in the red shirt with the big hair is?

[bilbodesperado]

flea fingered a girl once.. she died. :D

[DL345]

Eventhough I am a huge fan of Flea I haven't enjoyed many of his newer solos

[weirdsunshine]

@bilbodesperado and u copy paste other comments because u dont have any imagination....

[bilbodesperado]

@weirdsunshine yeah well.. i saw that comment, thought it was funny, and decided to share. big deal.

[fleadamo]

brilliant

[bl4cky564]

@bilbodesperado this joke is sooooo damn old... pls stop it

[CowboyFromHell092]

@bilbodesperado u people never get tired of copy pasting same shit on bass vids

[mosher1mosher2]

@bilbodesperado ololololol

[XDiRawrXD]

Oh damn he’s sexy in that...

Well his hair is...

HE PLAYS THE BASS!

[manuelcapo312]

this is throw away your television , not a flea s bass solo 

[nirvanafrik]

@manuelcapo312 Still was a solo of his for a while.

[marcello1993ful]

@manuelcapo312 the intro is a bass solo.

[dphs6969]

which concert is this?

[bassistchrisist]

bass is the only music on the whole planet

[punchipalmas]

crowd: SHUT THE FUCK UP and kindly let me listen to this kickass solo.

[Ali69970]

That's me ;)

[Bajama2]

i love his outfit =)

[FATMAN0205]

chuja słychac a wy sie spuszczacie jakby to bylo niewiadomo co

[brenonion]

Is it just me, or do the records only make Flea sound half as good as he really is live?

[Stainbreak]

what's the name of that song?

[Stainbreak]

yeah farting bass

[smashandburn1]

WHO'S THE DUDE IN RED?!?! Josh?

[johnnywindows1]

Flea looks like an eight year old playing his Dad's lead guitar- whose just eaten ten bags of Skittles....

[carbs95]

flea is one of the only bassists i respect

[ja1234567891]

@carbs95 wow, and who respects you? your mum?

[battybass]

just basic scales played fast and nothing more, anyone can do if played watching the t.v. took me a week

[Jimmytuba08]

@battybass Congratulations! You just discovered the secret to any solo ever (actual or attempted). Want a cookie?

[cheatguru2173]

i wish my name was Flea .

[aigmeyer]

Whether everybody agrees or not, Flea's the most incredible bassist I have every heard and my opinion will never change!

[MrDudamecbass]

q bosta!



[wasid13]

throw away your television!

[badassmotherplucker]

wow everyone, way to jugde a bands live performance

based on a cell phone quality recording.

its closed minded to say that one is the 'best' at any art form,

you cant be bad at expressing yourself

[L1I2N3T4]

Flea reminds me of a cadbury chocolate in that outfit

[bollockart]

Man this is nothign compared to Jaco.

[bollockart]

I think Jaco Pastorius was the best ever with his bass lines and more refined player too.

[Jordo1900]

@bollockart i think Jaco is good but one of the most overrated bassists of all time

[mikeymacaque]

@Jordo1900

You're saying that through 21st century eyes man.

Hard to imagine the bass without Jaco's influence.

[partyongarth420]

hahaha jesus christ this sucks... listen to that solo in the begging.. fart fart... boom boom.. bammmm uhh whut.... .... man... claypool is like 500 000 times better than flea.. ide pay maybe 2 dollars to hear flea play for me and my drunk frineds for 5 hours.and thats only if we didnt have a boom box and were desperate

[partyongarth420]

hahaha what the fuck is this garbage.., i just cant see what people see in flea... i guess he plays lines for the band good but,.. umm man compared to any other bassist im not digging this

[RhcpRoskildeTv]

nice! flea is the god. most inspiring band ever!

[shrineme]

Dreadful..I don't by the shit at all

[Juggernaut2790]

not my favorite bass player by any means. hes good. but he lacks the soul. he seems in his solos to only play for speed.

[FourteenthReactor]

@Juggernaut2790 I kow what you mean and i agree

[Striker439]

you REALLY do not know how much soul flea puts into his playing, one of the few who really do!

[Juggernaut2790]

well i look at guys like victor wooten and larry graham. they play with nothing but soul. flea just doesnt seem to excite me like those guys. not saying hes not bad ass. hes sick but like i said. its the feeling.

[Woodwind007]

Speed?

Holy Crack that's just Flea extra dude

Flea could play completely fast

But check many of his bassline for each song

and you would acknowledge the real bass soul

For bass solo check him jammin with Frusciante

[TIAYI]

that's a modulus funk bass model :P

really like it. You can listen his musicman con Aeroplane or in Give it away.

[scintillatebloom]

in some cases, Flea looks stupid. hehe

but he's really an insane bass player

[bannanapancake]

chad smith....wow....

[clcl1109]

the way they play is equally proportional to the way they sucked at picking costumes <_< awesome band though.

[fishyboy111]

I imagine this was a pretty mind blowing solo, but thanks to a crowd of people not shutting up for it, you cant hear shit.

[chopu81]

Man you cannot hear a single bit of music during this entire thing :3

[Jewfee43]

@chopu81 thats why crowds suck unless ur there.

[stefvandelest]

@chopu81 you dont hear music, you feel it

[MahajiHaji]

@chopu81 it's okay because between the crowd and bass solo there's not a trace to be found.

[Exaviour]

@chopu81 If you didnt hear anything, then you really need to tune your ears

[ryedain]

@chopu81 if you can't hear music through anything in this, than I'm not sure what you're listening to. :|

[gidtok]

jambi880 i've got a a great idea for you- go to hell!!! if you've got no respect for the talents of flea you might as well be dead

[jambi880]

Haha, you douchebag. It's a good solo. i never said anything about his talents. I do respect his skill.

[lancetop]

jambi880 you have made a complete butt out of yourself here. Not a single commenter agrees with you.

[youfailme2116]

dont hate on flea. if you were as awesome and amazing at bass as he is youd be dressing however the fuck you wanted too. look at the way george clinton looks, and he's a fucking master of funk. fuck off haters

[cjdub30]

Fuck theres some negative fucks on utube, who cares how he dresses, the lakers are their fav team btw and they have a song called majic johnson

[jambi880]

Too bad he's dressed like a twat.

[bladibla06070]

@jambi880 that's what they call a basketball kit, fag

[jambi880]

Well then maybe he should go and play basketball, fag.

[TheChippyRick]

And I'm guessing you're some sort of metrosexual who cares about what the way he dresses? He's only paying tribute to the greatest basketball team ever. Los Angeles Lakers.

[jambi880]

@TheChippyRick It's just an opinion so fuck off.

[TheChippyRick]

so it's an ignorant opinion? bitch

[jambi880]

What's ignorant about it?

[13GMA]

Where was this concert?

[saumonnn]

i think at barcelone in spain

[Johagorn]

A Key, his favourite for doing solos by far :P

[cmh132]

Love flea - this is wanking though.

[WoodstockVet1]

The Angus Young of the bass.

[lanceunderpants]

dont even compare him to angus young you dumb fuck. angus young sucks ass. thats the dumbest comment ever.

[urface102]

I think your comment is the dumbest comment ever, because you just called someone a dumb fuck for having an opinion. So gtfo.

[mylife618]

your the dumbest piece of shit ever.shut up retard and keep your comments to your self faggot

[NotGoodEnough09]

the frusciante of the bass*

[ushuaia213]

i think flea is daltonic lol. he is a beast

[JousterinJudge]

sqaurepusher=best bassist of all time

flea=second best bassist of all time.

[FerSpeedfire15]

Flea,o MELHOR BAIXISTA DO MUNDO!!!

Best of the world!

[plushmoon02]

flea's a beast!!!!

[lionel685]

i luv this joint.. whats the name of this song???

[neanngis323]

[robertylukas]

Flea only amazin '

[dsvogel420]

You cant even hear anything??

[TheCuteMammoth]

Flea jamming out in his Lakers uni!

[fixedgearjerk]

When was this video shot? Halloween show in Cleveland maybe?

[tehueleelyoyo]

flea es la mamada!!!!!!!!!!

[SharakonRHCP]

FLEA IS TEH BOOOOOOOSSSSS

[ChestnutCreeper]

Musicians don't play to be better than each other. Stop comparing them, there is something to be learned from every play-style.

[hoodratts]

@ChestnutCreeper amen brother

[dldldl4576]

flea should dress cooler than that

[MitchellW23]

Flea doesn't care what you think...

[Drenalyn]

he doesnt need too

[tarawyn]

what bass is that?

[AleGorymusic]

I think it's a MusicMan as usual...

[sonicblue4]

its a modulus

[LeckWare15]

@AleGorymusic it's a modulus (flea model)

[Xkasanuga]

@AleGorymusic no its his Modulus bass

[panbread89]

nobody can be the BEST, there is always someone better than someone else....

...or something like that.

as for other famous bassist: Willie Dixon, Victor Wooten, Stanley Clark, and the list goes on and on.

[mat614r]

it would be better if the sound was louder but its still good

[8914253]

its not a bass solo, its an intorduction the throuw away your television... :\

but still - Flea is absoloutly the best :D

[rightyourwrong]

Flea's outfits make me laugh.. ESPECIALLY THAT NUDE ONE!!!!!!!!! LIVE LONG AND PROSPER RHCP

[dudi619]

its remind me my bass guitar friend solos lol

[bassistabe]

Outstanding bassist! He is wonderful! But people say he is the BEST, which is wrong, but he Is still amazing!

[tconnor6]

HE IS THE BEST!!!

[bassistabe]

Do you even know any other bassists? even the unfamous ones?

[SONoOFoLIQUID]

really it's kinda imposable for 1 person 2 be the best because some1 else will always come along who will be better

[TwilightsLastGleam]

Flea's outfits make me laugh..Except for that nude one..

[millerflea]

I LOVE HIS STYLE

[BassBeast42]

THROW AWAY YOUR TELEVISION!

[gahan101]

i'll keep mine so i can watch my dvd's!

[fugazivicarious1]

who does the percussion?

[beerandpluggers]

Josh klinghoffer

[fugazivicarious1]

Is this Josh? ok, thanks.

[beerandpluggers]

yeahy, he is one of their friends from awhile ago, i think he tours prety regularly with them

[xXstealthtongXx]

do you mean the kit or the bongos? Cause Chad is on the kit

[skizmsucks23]

One of the best

[coldplayer17]

lmao he looks like he needs to pee

[jensbond93]

better that than completely naked

[Starfox13]

he looks so awful in this outfit :-D

but unique solo ;-)

[DeadEyeFeast]

Does anyone have any tips an what bass to get? I'm currently playing an Ibanez sr500, looking for a different bass with a similar neck, thin and fast. 4string! :)

[ashstrat07]

Get a modulus or a Cirrus

[bassman959]

ibanez atk300 is basicly a stingray but it has a thick neck like a p bass

[jpbass150]

fender deluxe active jazz bass, if you don't want to pay the extra few hundred dollars for a peavey, cirrus, or stingray, or an extra few thousand for a modulus. still sounds good, in my opinion. it should be great if you're looking for a different sound than your sr500's humbucking pickups.

[Frankay615]

nah, yo.

[limoncello182]

amazing, flea is the best bassist!!!

[Tatushwarlock]

Sorry to say that, but no...

[xXLetsTrawllXx]

he is one of the best tho, just great soul

[markowalski]

Screw you!

[dawhiteguy622]

youre an idiot!

[antoBassplayer]

dude untill they play the same styles "SHUT THE FUCK UP"

[beatofthestreets]

hahahaha hes wearing the L.A lakers fastbreak makers slam dunk edition pj's complete with sweatband in the beginning

[ICantDoShit]

Is he using three fingers? I cant really tell

[guardianoftheblind08]

mmmm... our generation's own jaco

[spedroblue]
