[TheStratblack]

you can't even see that its Flea

[MsKiedisLover]

haha i wish flea was my friend... oooh and 0 dislikes. as it should be

[zzzzzushi]

biggest trumpet win ever....

[crazyfool5546]

if the lakers and spurs are playing then its not the finals....duh

[unamericano]

Every time I hear Flea do something musically it's perfect. No matter if it's on bass or trumpet or a little whistle, every single thing he does is musically perfect. It's scary and inspiring.

[c1elite436]

Ill go to battle with this

[darthvulger]

man that brought a tear to my eye

[esquibelle]

Just a joke

[h20transmission]

fucking badass love you flea hahahaha this is as serious as flea gets

[bubbabubbabooba]

flea should stick to bass.............to hear a real amazing version on trumpet, check the video response above..........

[rock009byoun]

Flea rules...amazing!

[beers10]

He didn't take his hat off. XD

[mikelrhcp]

hes the best

[Legendofzoom]

This dood is not also an awesome musician but he 's a hardcord Lakers fan as well as a baller. I once read he plays street ball at Fairfax highschool. I dont know if he still does. I also read that this dood likes to spoke marijuana and masturbaate. Regardless this clip is so fucken cool

[tntrampage1]

flea is the best bass player of all time

[coozno1977]

Flee is awesome a musical genius and a kid at heart! what a great mix.

[cardinaldriver]

That was tits! Thanks!

[000Aviator000]

FLEAA IS THE MANNNN

[mextorfar07]

this is very average, the way he sounds in different registers, clips notes, his change from note to note slides, you are right, if he were not in RHCP he's be a nobody

[chocotastic]

Because you know, it's not like he plays bass as his main instrument or anything...

[KRUZradio]

Flea ROCKS!!!

[Benayrsty]

he was number one trumpet player in fairfax highschool, thats where his trumpet career stopped. So if you go by that he's amazing... so fuck yerself you idiot

[cbassizle]

that was pretty good. the trills i thought made it sound good and unique which is what flea does. he makes music unique.

[cbassizle]

i sense jealousy...

[hogwired0809]

i am not jealous. I'm a very good trumpet player.

[xUrBloodyValentinex]

I would LOVE for you to upload some videos so we can see how "good" you are. god, if your pride is what's keeping you from admitting it, i will first: I AM VERY VERY VERY JELOUS OF MICHAEL "FLEA" BALZARY. HE PLAYS TRUMPET BETTER THAN I DO. I have seen people who have twisted and flipped the anthem so much it's unrecognizable. This, my friends, is the national anthem at its best.

[ctllol]

actually anthem is defined as a song, as of praise, devotion, or patriotism. and if your gonna do a song like that then you have to do it to the best of your ability. and if the best of your ability is to jazz it up because thats what your good at then theres nothing wrong with doing that.

[wildfire36500]

haha he looked so excited after he finished to go shake everybody's hands

[doublebassaxisdrummr]

go Flea!!!!!

[jelmerdebom]

dude if flea wouldnt have been in red hot chili peppers he probably would have been a famous trumpet player

[kramerspadowskiki]

he should have played the national anthem on bass next

[mycrackersrgone]

GO FLEA!!!!

[Wingalingaling]

flea is so awsome

[rockabillychickee]

i luv hearin flea play the trumpet! he is always so awesome!!! thnx for sharin this

LUV flea! LUV rhcp!

[soul2sqeeze]

FUCKIN BAD ASS!!!

[acdc47]

The Bassist in my band played trumpet and loves flea. He should have stuck with it on the side.

[Lakers1978]

Flea is awesome...and so are the Lakers! I LOVE L.A., WE LOVE IT!

[averyellis]

fuggin awesome. didn't even know he played trumpet but it makes sense. great energy.

[elpretzel]

sick!

Flea was a trumpeter before he learned to play bass... he was actually considered a prodigy by his teachers at Fairfax H.S.... who found him 'paralleled only by musician Herb Alpert, who also attended Fairfax' --

thus said the wiki quote ;)

[esquibelle]

@elpretzel not true at all

[elpretzel]

@esquibelle that's what wiki said... my comment is 2 years old now and it looks like wiki has been updated and doesn't include that. big surprise. but Herb Alpert did go to Fairfax... so it's highly likely that Flea is the best known trumpeter aside from Herb that ever came out of there.

also... here's a copy of the 2-year old version of the wiki article... someone actually happened to cut and paste it and save it. translated.by/you/flea-musicia­n-michael-peter-balzary/origin­al/

[anthonykiedislover]

i know! idk that he played trumpet!

[fidelyo123]

flea rips on bass!

ps. i didnt know he played trumpet?

[HiiRandall]

@fidelyo123 yeh he played in the jazz band at his high school. he plays all the horn parts on the RHCP albums

[chinwemartins]

@fidelyo123 before flea was part of rhcp, he played classical and jazz instruments, due to his parents!

[cheeseboy2007]

@fidelyo123 He was actually a trumpet prodegy, and was gonna go international, until HIllel (slovak) taught him bass

[esquibelle]

@cheeseboy2007 not true

[cheeseboy2007]

@esquibelle Your joking right? Its a common known fact. Did you even read scar tissue? Did you even read his wikipedia page? cause it clearly states in both he was a trumpet prodegy

[KamHtown]

someone in your party didn't know who Flea was?

[boobiechaps18]

THANKS!

[moqual]

thanks for adding this!! Flea is the man!! I was at the game and I was hoping someone taped it to throw on youtube... GREAT GAME!! GO LAKERS!!!!

[signuboy]

amazing!!!

[ClutchPin]

Haha! Flea looks just like a little happy boy in the end! ;D

[mutah15]

I know! LA pride he has.

[donato8811]

@ClutchPin Probably because he learned the trumpet as a young boy, years before he picked up the bass. He most likely remembers being a kid after this.

[candycane28]

Thanks a whole bunch for posting this!!!!
