Flea Bass Solo

[mknuwet]

Although I prefer jazz rather than rock...

That doesn't take away from the fact that .. Flea is one of very the few bass Gods.

[BigJimeSlade]

Dude, Cliff Burton first distortion bass solo?  Apparently you've never heard of Jack Bruce.

[CommanderMeaty]

I would have loved to perform nude in front of a crowd

[NoelMahoney]

Man... I smell the JEALOUSY in these comments!

He actually creates emotion and feel with his bass rather than the dick weeds who are anal about being technically good or fast.

It's not all about freaking speed or technique sometimes but with the pure unique FEEL and EMOTION... If you are only interested in technique then you are a shallow musician...

[Blacksplayer]

@NoelMahoney

Try playing smthg nice without technique, dumbass.

Do you even play bass ? Ass lickin cock sucker.

[NoelMahoney]

@Blacksplayer Read properly, never said WITHOUT... ¬_¬

[elchichodeltren]

those who think FLEA is a bad player they can all suck a dick motherfuckers go and get fuck yourself

[everlyredhot]

gotta love the haters, they hate something but they still watch it, what a bunch of idiots

[Blacksplayer]

@everlyredhot

I watched it because I like Flea. But he SURE is not the best bass player of the world.

There are a mass group of Jazz/Funk bass player upon him, sorry dude.

By the way distorsion bass solo are awful. Awful. And yeah, Cliff burton was the first shitty player to introduce this. Only him could really " shit " solos :)

[everlyredhot]

@Blacksplayer well no prob if you like him, but I don't get it... some idiots hate him but come here and watch his videos, what's the point ? I don't think there's a best bass player or a worst one, everybody can like whatever they want. my fav bass player is and will always be Flea.

[Blacksplayer]

@everlyredhot

Every guy loved by a mass is hated by some, that's the way it is lol.

I really liked some parts of the video by the way. But I personnaly hate all those " distorsion " solos. ( And I hate Cliff Burton )

[everlyredhot]

@Blacksplayer haha once again no prob dude, the world would be a boring place if we all liked the same thing ;)

[SaucisseMerguez]

this is the best flea has to offer ? this guy is the source of all the hype ? he SUCKS ! now ill never take anything people say seriously about music, ever.

[asongoten]

If you saw this video DON'T EVER ASK ME AGAIN WHY FLEA IS MY IDOL

[lupistreghegiganti]

3:00

[ediondoaperroctm]

LONG LIFE TO FLEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SpokeBASS]

Haters are gonna hate. ;)

[SHerbylicious]

ok.... wtf is with all those haters?

[liger1997]

Would love to hear Kiedis sing ONE song in key...that would be nice.

[cursedswordsman]

@liger1997 Go away eight grader.

[liger1997]

This guy sucks and this whole band sucks.

[asongoten]

@liger1997 ok Justin Bieber

[IrishGuitarist]

Flea = meh/10000000000000000000000000­00000000000000

[alflextraterrestre]

This guy is the worst bassplayer ever. He use to sleep with Kiedis.

[asongoten]

@alflextraterrestre you will never play an instrument like that so keep on talking

[alflextraterrestre]

@asongoten Jumping everywhere on stage is not playing an instrument. Showing his tits to the public who paid an indecent amount of money to see them (I still don't understand why) is still not playing an instrument. Sleeping with the heroin addict guitar player is definitely not playing an instrument. Okay I will keep on talking.

[asongoten]

@alflextraterrestre watch how the video star and you will see what is playing an instrument ;)

[nightmareX1993]

@alflextraterrestre what the fuck are you even talking about? your comment is potentially one of the stupidest things i have ever read. ever.

[pauloaruja]

amasyng bassman

[MrMataBicho]

Cliff Burton distortion first solo. RIP him he was great

[lupistreghegiganti]

3:19 - 3:25

[demonstar0071]

[Cokaaafoul]

[WilderHawk]

Red Hot Chili Peppers:

-Singer

-Drums

-Rythm Guitar

-Lead Bass

[BlueTiger093]

@WilderHawk

T'is some how weirdly true :)

[tyskates14]

1.47 the real reason youre here

[faumas]

sound remindes me the times when i played SEGA games or somethink, those midi little tunes XD

[blackbadge666]

@McFro95 indeed it is :) thank you so much, it's been annoying me so hard.. :D

[superkulmedkniv25]

Flea is the most intelligent monkey to ever walk the earth.

[2xnkote]

man this is some talentless shit

[McFro95]

@2xnkote You do it then.

[2xnkote]

@McFro95 you say that as if it is hard to do

[McFro95]

@2xnkote It is. And even if it isn't, music's not about how difficult it is. it's about what sounds good and reflects the player as a person. There's more to music than just playing as fast as you can, not that speed is a bad thing...

[2xnkote]

@McFro95 It isn't hard to do. If you are a musician, and you can play songs that a lot of people like, you are still jealous of the guy who isn't as famous but pisses all over your playing. So whilst you might make more money, you know you are not as good as others. Flea knows he is pretty shit. Also I never mentioned anything about playing as fast as you can, so I do not know why you are mentioning it. Happy new year.

[mqabass]

Band ? ;x

[AxCanadianxAirsofter]

@mqabass red hot chili peppers

[blackbadge666]

From what peppers song is the rythm riff at 2:00-2:58?

it's not from all along the watchtower, and im 100% positive it's a peppers song. anyone? :)

[McFro95]

@blackbadge666 Possibly 'Knock Me Down', but it's probably just a jam

[SaculNoshploda]

@blackbadge666 it's the "aeroplane" bass solo from 'one hot minute'. A damn good solo :>

[sunnyjim98]

@MrMoroH вася

[MrBot98]

Toca muitooo

[yekshemesh4alig]

6:52 his head look like a pineapple. With bass skills!

[XenoJack0]

To people who thumbs up the Flea being the best bassist comment, dont get me wrong, he's great... But look up Primus.

[Theonewhoclimbs28]

@XenoJack0 ...or any of les claypool's hundred or so side projects for that matter. Or even some of the random people here on youtube. casimer and viaceslavsvedov come to mind.

[jagheterzack]

Dudes, hate to that guy, but neither Cliff nor Flea is the best. Well, none can be the best since, well, you can't be THE best. But there is bassplayers that's way better than both of them, like Jaco Pastorius, Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller or Larry Graham. And then I don't mean just technically. And don't get me wrong, I love both Flea and Cliff, but they are simply overrated by fresh bassplayers. I don't wanna be a douche, but you'll know what I mean when you've been playing longer.

[germanpereyra23]

@jagheterzack those may be better, but none more influential than flea

[jagheterzack]

@germanpereyra23 maybe not for rock/pop after late 80's, but he can't be compared to Jaco in influence on bassists. He did for the bass what Hendrix did for guitar.

[JessicaStolfi]

OMG!!! FUCK!FUCK!FUCK!

[fyerfyer1]

i dont understand why people vote cliff burton as number one bassist i mean he is great but nothing special and keeps following the guitarist , flea is a god on bass i <3 him

[jamiemyhamster09]

flea is the awesomest bassist if only because of his outfit on woodstock 99

[FRENCHYface3]

I like his music face at 5:14. It makes me happy.

[PH4NT0M71]

[pitufin861]

Flea is better then the the most popular bass players ,,,, but he isnt the best...

[k0stil]

[zekky1000]

[animebaka129]

@zekky1000 hes good but Flea is without a doubt the best. or at least in my opinion.

[ColoradoSon19]

[funoisefrak]

[jonathan7986]

[CowboyFromHell092]

[darkblazerules]

@fivefinger100 Haha :')

[JoJosG]

LOl that's one Weird mother fucker but he can play the fuck out of some bass : P. Loved him in The Big Lebowski to.

[LikeItOrNotMusic1]

i love how he plays the aeroplane solo at 0:50 to 1:13 its sooo cool!!!!

[STippie09]

Lmfao... people on youtube critiquing the technique of a rock star... not to mention, one of the best at playing his instrument lol. youtube-haters...

[Sofejando]

Flea is the best bassist ever?good , yes, he is verry good maybe , best nope, sorry but is the reality : /

[Sofejando]

toca muito, porem existem melhores...

[paleceumacolneta]

@Sofejando melhor em que sentido?

[Sofejando]

@paleceumacolneta

Po cara,quando eu disse:"toca muito , porem existem melhores" eu to me referindo a tecnica dele(eu não vejo nada muito especial) , e q eu acho outros como john myung, billy sheehan ate o brazuca felipe andreoli(baixistas do cenario rock q eu curto) são melhores na minha opinião, num to dizendo q o cara seja mal musico, e so minha opinião, mas q eu acho exagero dizer q ele é o melhor do mundo isso é sim.

[paleceumacolneta]

@Sofejando po blz..de boa. É que tem muita gente que as vezes "despreza" o Flea por ele não "tocar tão complicado" como por ex. Victor Wooten...mas blz cara entendi o q tu falou. Abraçao.

[aigmeyer]

God I love that sound, what effect does he use?

[TheTvrulesthenation]

Seriously how does he play his bass so low on him & technically? I'd have thought playing around the crotch would severly ruin technique

[MusicManStingray1989]

@TheTvrulesthenation Although he is a great bass player he does have very bad technique. Obviously works for him though!

[23J5K]

1:25 yeah nice underwear these basses

[Musicman4438]

What brand of bass is that in the beginning?

[LouBass09]

@Musicman4438 Modulus, His Ex-signature bass

[DemyKCTMcFlyelele]

whats the song at 2.10 ?

[FLEA72700]

@DemyKCTMcFlyelele It's a jam after Dani California at Alcatraz, in Italy...

But I don't find the bass tabs... :/

;D Peace !

[Bushwakitty3]

Haha, my bad . The one at 2:00, idk how i messed up .

[aquartertopineapple]

@Bushwakitty3 that's also a jam but played after dani california :)

[neotri45]

I was waiting for someone to make a flea bass solo video. Good job Felas85!!!

[DesertsRequiem]

[fairlystupidjello]

NEEDLES!

[pat30473]

badass...the backbone of the best band on the planet

[Bushwakitty3]

Whats the name of the song that comes right before 3:00 ? It sounds like this velvet glove but johns adding more to the guitar than the original track .

[neotri45]

@Bushwakitty3 That's a jam that they play after the song "If you have to ask". It's not a song.

[Skipper489]

without the RHCP life would suck

without flea, the world would stop spinning

[wowprogamer1]

@Skipper489 Yea the FleaBass is what is keeping the Earth spin round the Sun :)

[everlyredhot]

the world needs more Fleas

[Blacksplayer]

@KevinJones2012 & @GrouseSnow

So you just know nothing about bassists & basses.

[himynameisycul]

@Blacksplayer oooooooor people are entitled to their own opinion and if they think flea's the best bass player ever, let them!

[MrMaToN94]

Naked solo!!

[KevinJones2012]

Flea is the best bassist ever

[RabbiPanda]

@KevinJones2012 Apparently you have never heard of Victor Wooten! I'm not saying Victor is better, but I think they are pretty damn close. Check out Amazing Grace by Victor Wooten!!!

[andrasiboti]

@KevinJones2012 period!

[CowboyFromHell092]

@KevinJones2012 and that's a fact !
