Red Hot Chili Peppers If you have to ask

[iliketoparty82]

flea is the best bass player in the world there is no doubt. there is just none better than him. even geddy lee who sings plays bass and keyboard all at the same time cannot top flea. man flea is a bad ass

[funkit22]

[onrcpr]

[Extremepsyco]

[aigmeyer]

[gnfnr211]

sexiest solo EVER!!! two strings missing sexY!!!!!!

[SAKO818]

HOLY SHIT!!!! HE JUST FUCKING BUSTED TWO STRINGS AND STILL MADE IT SOUND AWESOME

wow

[GreyuZaru]

god damn! John busted two strings in the midst of his solo but it barely fazed him for a second! he just finished the song like that!

[Prexi01]

The best version of this song - I think :-) Amazing warm bass tone.

[flow49]

I like how john plays that whole solo even though he breaks a string at the very beginning of it

[en4sm8zn7g8]

two ;)

[redhotbrazil]

One of the best show of the band!

RHCP live Sao Paulo, Brazil - on Californication tour - 1999

Love!

[RHCP4455]

Blood sugar sex magik= greatest album ever

[ricardofrusciante]

Absolutelly!!

[oneill8390]

tru that

[reddragontki]

His telecaster is the most beautiful guitar ive seen

[Sjjags]

I'm waiting for all these Cali performances to be put on DVD.

[Coyote10988]

lol he broke his string during the solo. thats like my worrrst night mare. he alwaaaaaaays does that lick though (the one he popped his string on)like on every live vid i see.

[Mrsully51693]

if you look closely two of them actually broke! The ones he needed for repeated the riff at the end! haha

[Apple0192]

God damn! Frusciante want to town during the early part of that solo!

[codebabe]

Flea just writes and improvises the best basslines and solos and fills. sorry to all other famous bassists, but he makes everyone else look like a lame duck. his passion, versatility, uniqueness and 'taste' are unsurpassed.

[remnugs18]

word up dude, i think it all comes down, like you said, the passion and the love he has for the music he makes

[codebabe]

for sure. he's just an animal on the stage and that comes from the straight up love for music.

[Christopherfilippi]

@codebabe yo, the man is the only goose standin, all the rest are jus sitting ducks

[fleaargento]

Probably the best performance of this song to date.

[stinkerdood1e]

ha that "guy rocking out behind the amp" is anthony!

[Romans10Verse9]

Flea's bass looks brand new.

[colocal87]

look at the guy at 4:42 rocking out behind the amp

[XguitarrockerX]

ohh man, I love those jams they play after if you have to ask !!:D

[colocal87]

4:35 john starts playing with his nipple and at 4:57 john starts playing bass...he's my god!!!.....holy fuck this video is shit hot.......ah shit i this is the wrong comment box i was suppose to type it for "Sikamikanico"

[Romans10Verse9]

John is the shit but what the fuck are you talking about?

[hsolimpija17]

you are shit john ruls!!!!!!!!

[Romans10Verse9]

Damn it, why do people always make that mistake on here?! I said THE shit. THE shit. T H E shit. That's a good thing. I know John rules, He's probably the greatest musician the world has ever known! I just don't see him playing with his nipple at 4:35 or playing bass at 4:57. That's what the comment said.

[hsolimpija17]

Ohhh sorry I'm one of those who does a mistake:p!

And I don't see where he plays with his nipple or than playing bass either!

[Romans10Verse9]

Thank you!

[theman4325]

flea souds a little like woooten here if you listen

[capodastaro]

although his string snapped on the string needed to play the song it didn't deter him if it was me i would be like oh shit oh shit oh shit

[crybaby5555]

In the solo john played so hard one of the strings broke XD

[jegrafton]

If you'll notice at around 3:55, something flies up on the stage behind John.

Also, what kinds of pedals does John use for the solo? It looks like distortion then chorus and later wah, but I'm not sure.

Very good end jam. It's fun to watch Anthony sit in awe of his band.

[drunkside]

he use boss ds2 distortion, boss fuzz fz3and ibanez wh10 wah wah

[jegrafton]

So, does he use chorus for the song itself? He doesn't use overdrive?

[en4sm8zn7g8]

The only song Jonh uses chorus is in the outro of Under The Bridge

[dergadot]

So, what does he use for the song?

[en4sm8zn7g8]

what song? This song? Until the solo it's just the guitar to his amp, and while soloing it's DS-2 and WH-10

[MishaPepper]

Soul to Squeeze :D

[fleaargento]

They're absolutely great musicians!!!!! I just can't get over it!

[neguhjoe]

can anyone say funky motherfuckers?

[duegold]

Pure funk

[PutrinD]

Can anyone post the tabs of bass line?

[justinjak13]

yeah man it is pretty jazzy

[guadelupe]

i've never seen flea play a black modulus before

[ArabianWoman122105]

gotta love how he breaks tht string in his solo and keeps on rockin/ CHILI PEPPERS 4 LIFE

[rhcpluvr4life]

Hey does anyone have the rest of this concert??? Cuz this is amazing!!!! Anthony's voice is right on point and full of energy, Flea is at his funkiest best, John is amazing and has such a great recovery on the string break that you can't even tell if ur just listening 2 it, and Chad is pounding out awesome beats as usual!

[thaedda]

please can anyone upload the other songs they played there...

[jackumegghiu]

mamma mia ke live!!!johnè un grande!! ha continuatoanke se gli si è rotta una corda!!

[10keenanp]

The chilis truly kick ass with this track and how good is Flea!!!!!!!

[Mike3303]

Yah, I heard a bootleg once, but it was pretty low quality. You can hear the string break during the solo.

[Mike3303]

Yes, it was edited. Damn that string, as that is my favorite song of all time.

[Mike3303]

A broken string is the reason Soul to Squeeze never made it on the Slane Castle DVD.

[zehpingadinha]

but if you listen to the music recorded by people, you'll realize the song shouldn't be cut from the DVD

It still sounded great!

[dafunkypriest]

hell yeah. another phat flea sound. he sounds great on this vid. BIGGEST LEGEND EVER.

[handley88]

Doubt it. I was only a string.

His guitar messed up at the gig I went to last July, he went off stage and came back on with another guitar, I think it was Charlie they were playing, had his White strat, but came back on with his sunburst strat, was still amazing.

[johnfrusciante38]
