Flea interview playing bass

[fmeitsconnor]

I did not know that Flea was in Fear :O

[BlogAprendiendoMagia]

anyone knows the tabs?

[MultiSikamikanico]

Buckle!!!! not Buckel!!!!

jajajaja

[SomethingCool2Watch]

What's the song he plays after the fear one?

[malmberwilliam]

@SomethingCool2Watch Buckel down

[6whatusay9]

I liked the questions the interviewer was asking flea.

[CornSw]

What kind of bass is that he is playing on?

[illfortune921]

@CornSw a warwick

[Prettyflyforabassman]

@illfortune921

since when did flea use a warwick?

[illfortune921]

@Prettyflyforabassman look at the bass, thats what it is. he also used it in the knock me down music video and when they played castles made of sand live one time. he doesnt use them anymore and i think he only had one. but he used it for a short period of time

[lieneire]

@Prettyflyforabassman Thats not a Warwick, it's a Spector, he used them for Uplift Mofo and early Mothers Milk period

[Prettyflyforabassman]

@lieneire

then why the fuck did people below just say its a warwick

[lieneire]

@Prettyflyforabassman They look pretty alike i guess.....apparently he used it for Freaky Styley too, not sure on that though, coulda sworn that was an MM.....anyways, its a Spector NS-2

[Prettyflyforabassman]

@lieneire

wat albums did he use his stingray?

[lieneire]

@Prettyflyforabassman 1st album and Freaky Styley I think, other than that, he used a 5-string stingray for Funky Monks and Righteous & The Wicked, I think he used one for the Love Rollercoaster single too and a fretless one apparently for I Could Die For You, he didnt really use the stingray for recording, just live

[obviousmrfuller]

@lieneire That's mostly correct. I think for BSSM he used a Wal along with his usual Modulus sig model and Music Man. It was an NS2 at this point - altho, I was unaware he used them live. Cool video. Personally, I'm of the opinion that Warwick stole thier body style from Spector. His tone at this point in his career is why I play Spectors.

[Prettyflyforabassman]

@lieneire

oh an what spector is it? sorry for all these questions

[lieneire]

@Prettyflyforabassman Spector NS-2

[Prettyflyforabassman]

@lieneire

ok thanks :)

[illfortune921]

@Prettyflyforabassman

sorry dude, the warwick streamer and spectors look alot alike

[Prettyflyforabassman]

@illfortune921

true dude, that they do

[illfortune921]

@Prettyflyforabassman

and i can swear that in the scar tissue book one of the pictures has flea playing a bass with a W on the headstock

[Prettyflyforabassman]

@illfortune921

i've never ead scar tissue, is it a good book?

[illfortune921]

@Prettyflyforabassman So far it is, but then again i haven't gotten too far into it (i need a book to read for school and im trying to make this one last awhile because reading isn't my hobby and this is the only book i'm interested in)

[Prettyflyforabassman]

@illfortune921

yeah me neither, i aint a big reader

[MyPandasrule]

@Prettyflyforabassman its awsome

[MyPandasrule]

@Prettyflyforabassman his life is so crazy its like reading a fiction

[Prettyflyforabassman]

@MyPandasrule

hahahah :P

[1WeedToker]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FLEA!

[Zcecchine5454]

[jun23ify]

[BGH1121]

"dig in deep to the booty of funk..." He has a way with words that no other person in the world has...

[LucDaRocka1]

[McFro95]

Booty-juice ;)

[Hungrybear765]

in the full vid he goes straight into around the world at the end

[iamtheipodman]

Flea is a big ball of energy. He's a fun guy who's always crazy and he truly enjoys what he does. You don't see a musician like Flea very often, he's one of a kind. And I think he's the greatest bassist of all time.

[TheBrianStones]

HOW CAN 22 PERSONS CAN'T LOVE THIS THING MAN YOU HAVE TO BE FUCKING PISSED OFF CRAZY NIGGERS OUT OF YOUR MIND MAN

[TORITOT83]

@TheBrianStones YOUR SUTCH A RETARD

[RHCP9181]

@TORITOT83 "FUCK YOU, DONT YOU EVER TALK TO ME LIKE THAT OR ILL BEAT YOUR FUCKING TEETH OUT!"- Flea 1994 :))))

[TORITOT83]

@RHCP9181 :) Flea rocks

[RHCP9181]

@TORITOT83 hahaha got that right!!!!

[Mefreudi]

[zeeedubs]

[sadkiedis]

[sadkiedis]

[Mettal4]

All the juices have to flow

[aigmeyer]

Was that pretty much pretty little ditty at 2:14? It's cool because this was before john!

[tehgaff08]

@aigmeyer

the first 4 notes were used in pretty little ditty. but thats it

[aigmeyer]

@tehgaff08 I know not exactly but roughly the same

[drummer1brt2gzs]

Goddamn!!!

[pppoichops]

tweak...tweak...tweak...I wish I had as much money to buy coke as he does...

[dk5293]

1:55 to 2:13....is that an actual song or is that flea just being himself and improvising/letting the booty juices flow?? sounds dope (as usual with flea)

[adebicki]

that is kickin' the shit out of that thudstaff @ 1:00 tremendous feel! this is what cool funk is all about!

[iheartsubwoofers]

WOAH IM SO CLEAN CUT I JUST WANNA FUCK SOME SLUTS- flea

[9009Ghost]

[9009Ghost]

[larinhasalazar]

the best bass player in the world

[FatFingers4]

i love the tone of that spector!

[HarryHachet666]

"...Leting the booty juices.. flow?!"

[MusicSounds95]

fucking hoss.

[YourLifeonMars]

1:32 

[xbassman24]

what's the song he plays at 1:00?

[whatnamesnottakenyet]

@xbassman24 Buckle Down

[RazorSF]

If it's not Flea, them you don't need a bassist.

[FrankasaurousREX]

@RazorSF flea is a good bassist but dont be closed minded to all the others just look up entwhistle or victor wooten both amazing bassist but completely different styles

[Kidcouger2]

I like how flea can't explain anything really well. So he plays his bass to explain what he's doing. A God among Men.

[marko92pn]

Funk me hard,Mr. FLEA!!!!

[FatTomy]

spector-bass? + flea? + 1:00 ? = <3

[Ozbassman]

hes in the zone

[aspiniou]

Butthole Surfers t-shirt... he used their quote in Deep Kick song.

Fucking amazing guy Flea is. He inspired me to grab bass in the first place.

[xChiefRunningWater]

Man those 90s bassists were the real deal:

Flea, Eric Avery, Tim Commerford, Jeff Ament, Justin Chancellor, and Les Claypool

(btw I know they were around before the 90s but they were in their prime during that decade)

[bassguitarmichael]

Flea's the best with bass beats

[Shibbynator013]

That intervieuwer died a happy death, or will die happy :p

[senna01]

looks (and sounds) like he's on coke

[ganareporever]

@senna01 The only drug Flea got was marihuana

[abar1204]

2:14 - and on, is that what seems to be the roots of the end of the song "pretty little ditty"? they released it a year after! :P

[TheJoker1369]

22 people are fucking retarded....

[FlyGuy707]

and the 22 disliskes, are 22 people who suck at life

[lollarus]

He's cooler than most guitar players

[fenderjones]

[ElectricalNoises]

That's how you play bass

[HELLPINAVENGER]

[FlyGuy707]

Flea and Les Claypool=Gods of bass

[Jordo1900]

@FlyGuy707 & Tim Commerford listen to the bass line from the song ''take the power back'' by RATM but flea is god and timmy c is jesus

[FlyGuy707]

@Jordo1900 Tim C. is a good bass player and I LOVE Rage! Tom Morello is one of my top favorite guitarists. Can't wait til they get officially get back together and tour in the U.S!

[BabblingRandomly]

[TheBassmastersmith]

[therealsoulproduct]

Flea is proof that White men can FUNK!!!!!

[8akrazw]

@therealsoulproduct yes but htey cant jump!!!!muahahaa

[diamonddust22]

@therealsoulproduct White men could always funk. It's the racist idiots who only say otherwise.

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@therealsoulproduct no one cared about funk when white men were GROOVING

[JusticieroDeLaMuerte]

@therealsoulproduct as Chad, John...

[edmis90]

@therealsoulproduct

why shouldn't white man be able to funk? are you racist?

[therealsoulproduct]

@edmis90 Racism is the last thing I believe in. As the Chili Peppers once sang, "DON'T YOU KNOW FUNK'S COLOR BLIND......"
