Flea inducts Metallica Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductions 2009

[LonnieJamesMusic]

James was really moved by what Flea said about Cliff.

[3killabyteRETARD]

wow flea is really well spoken

[JayT851]

Dave Co wrote a few songs thats all.

[NomethodknowN]

...and i say...god bless cliff burton...he rulezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......

[access1992]

that was surprisingly a really good speach by FLEA

[agbleu]

@access1992 Flea is a lovely and beautiful human being, and obviously a living legend. So, its not so surprisingly at all.

[access1992]

@agbleu haha you're right

[greyshark100]

look at james's eyes when flea talks about cliff.sad :'''''(

[Drumsmadness]

4:59 - 6:45 Fucking Truth

[KaMox121]

q afortunada niña ser hija de un Idolo del Metal! Jame hentefiel

[shutup1223]

FLEA!!! YOUR AMAZING!!

[MrLedzeppelinfan33]

The rock n roll hall of fame has been a complete joke since 1986 when it began , there is a LOT of artists that should not be there in my opinion only the true rock legends should be there but it is NOT up to me to decide , and how the hell can they not put

JUDAS PRIEST AND IRON MAIDEN

in the hall ? ? ? those two bands are more influential on metal history than metallica , yes metallica should be there but NOT before those two bands ! ! !

[Daan7000]

@MrLedzeppelinfan33 Iron Maiden yes, but Judas Priest hasn't done things that weren't done before. They are fucking amazing but didn't do something really new that nobody had ever heard of

[mortalis813]

@Daan7000 Judas Priest introduced dual lead guitars into Heavy Metal. They invented the look that would ultimately be associated with Heavy Metal... Leather and Metal Studs. They also revitalized Heavy Metal when it was on it's way out during it's punk phase. They definitely belong in the Hall of Fame.

[zeromant80]

And RHCP being inducted for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012!

[zeromant80]

Damn, Flea has the utmost respect for Cliff. You are damn missed Cliff :(

[abdulsadiq]

I never knew how to put my love for metallica in words until I heard this speech. Thanks Flea

[jew25624]

lol 4:55 "being a bass solo myself" whatever

[TheBloodmaggot]

@jew25624 dude...flea is realy one of the best bassist's i ever heard.

[n1c4m1]

03:40-03.42 Trujillo ''Oooo yea Flea, your right. But wtf am I doing here?''

[skimam]

Iron Maiden deserve it much, much more!!! Comparing with them, Metallica is bad joke! That´s more or less what lars said...

[MrLedzeppelinfan33]

damn right , i don't how the hell the rock n roll hall of fame is so stupid not put iron maiden in , but how ever maybe iron maiden is just too good for the r n r hall of fame ! ! !

[OttawaNow]

Cliff Burton was an outstanding, superb, deep and wicked virtuoso of a guitar player.

[SDGuitarVideos]

@OttawaNow I hope you mean BASS guitar player man lol jk



[OttawaNow]

That song is one of the greatest moments in Rock history for the electric guitar.

[Fuel1873]

hey hey the big m! how's it hanging mcfly?

[SebaChannel]

"the mighty force of nature that is metallica"

"there are divine forces that work that make magic things happen"

"when that magic happens in a band is not something you can add with regular math its a cosmic chemistry and it is inexplicable"

"every Cliff Burton solo ive ever heard is a soulful, psychedelic, headbanging expression that rocks your world, trips your brain out and get the house rockin"

"Cliff Burton was an outstanding, deep and virtuoso of the bass player" -Flea about Metallica

[10davizao]

0:20 KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK­KKKKKKKKKKKK

[BrettACDC]

I love both flea and Metallica

[robinlortie]

at 1:18 is very funny xD he's like a monkey

[nmarcelino71]

Just... Just... No Words.

[daftrobot]

Flea & Metallica! LEGENDS!

[Mukeize]

I like how his hear blends in with the bg

[amosjoe44]

this is probly the greatest speech ive ever heard. i teared up the same time James did. Cliff will be missed forever<3

[HeyTray1]

i got to be honest, i kinda got teary at the same time James did

[eagleandguitarguy44]

You know that you mean what you say when you almost put James Hetfield in tears!

[centaurodigital]

ALL HERE WE LOVE FLEA, RHCP, METALLICA AND ROCK AND POP AROUND THE WORLD!!!!

[cheater81]

02:45 does Kirk hate Flea or something? Haha.

[Sodabowski]

Blue hair FTW

[Bisquack]

Flea kind of looks like Ed Harris.

[TheLordHodne]

@Bisquack

kinde

[ragingsandman]

Shit man, seeing Hetfield tear up when Flea is talking about Cliff is fucking strong!

[mark952a]

turn on audiotranscript and see 00:49 XD

[asgfen]

thumbs up if u think nirvana should get inducted

[JayT851]

@asgfen Hell no Nirvana is responsible for all the gay bands today fuck Nirvana Alice in Chains can be inducted easily

[asgfen]

@JayT851 fuck your self ass hole, if u have nothing nice to say, dont talk, dont be a fucking hater. nirvana 4 life

[JayT851]

@asgfen Nirvana is a joke. i heard people say Metallica is over rated but Nirvana is number one on the over rated band list. If it wasnt for Nirvana coldplay wouldnt be around lol truth hurts

[asgfen]

@JayT851 shut the fuck up u dirty cunt, nirvana changed music direction from gay michial jackson to grunge & alternative rock, nirvana wasnt the most overrated, in fact they arent overrated at all, the most over rated band is greenday.

[JayT851]

@asgfen Nirvana is way over rated...WAY OVER RATED!! Like 70% of their fame was off the album Nevermind and a few songs from In utero. Bleach and Insecticide sucked and only sold because of Nevermind. Nirvana sucks live too.  When people listen to Nirvana they cant listen through a album without skipping songs.

I would rather listen to new green day then Nevermind or in utero

[itsMattydud3]

@JayT851 bleach and incestiside were actually pretty good they just werent picked up by mainstream like nevermind or in utero was and actually man i could listen to the entire in utero album without skipping a song i could also listen to the whole nevermind album without skipping, with the exception of the song "something in the way"(depends on what kinda mood im in) and i most definitely can listen to the full bleach album without skipping a song nirvana had a massive impact on music bro

[JayT851]

@itsMattydud3 Well they get more props then Alice in Chains,Pearl Jam,and Soundgarden and Nirvana is defnitily not even half as good as Alice in Chains. Its like comparing metallica to megadeth. Metallica is more popular but Megadeth is a better band. Nirvana is more popular then Alice in Chains but they arent the bette band. I think Alice in Chains should be in the hall of fame over Nirvana

[itsMattydud3]

@JayT851 Nirvana got more props because they were the band that introduced and got a lot (and i do mean a lot!) of people interested in bands like Alice in Chains, Pearl jam, Smashing pumpkins, Soundgarden to that genre of music in particular... and liking megadeth is absolutely fine i like em too although i like metallica more but still megadeths great at what they do

[JayT851]

@itsMattydud3 Well many people say Nirvanas over rated a lot more then just a couple people

[itsMattydud3]

@JayT851 yea theirs a shitload of people who say their overrated but theirs also a lot more people who say they deserved (and still do) deserve every bit of success they've received especially some of the bands like nirvana trying to make it big and finally did because nirvana pretty much opened the door to "grunge" in that time

[JayT851]

@itsMattydud3 And dont think im a Megadeth fan because I hate their fanbase but i admit they are better.

[matias7anriquez]

Flea is amazing

[turtlliwdnifuoyehthr]

it's really weird to hear "me and my friends" as a background music instead of something like "by the way"

[GOATClanFTW]

press 3 to see what Flea calls his Johnson.

[GOATClanFTW]

FUN FACT:

at 00:59 James isn't covering his daughter's ears because of the cussing, but because he's just so modest he didn't want his daughter to hear the complimenting of his own band.

[SVPman]

@GOATClanFTW How do You know? :>

[TehRealMirShady]

I was 15 , alone , in a group home , not because i was a bad kid , but because I fought my way out of the shithole that was my life at home . I was angry and bitter and emotionally destitute . until the day i borrowed what thought was a mixed tape . it was Metallica . and every chord , ever beat , every scream and solo was about me , my life , and all of a sudden , i wasnt alone anymore . I was strong and i didnt have to take anybodys shit and Metallica was my saving grace .

[MySinisterGlobe]

@TehRealMirShady yeah, brother.

[TehRealMirShady]

@MySinisterGlobe actually , it's "sister"

[Alfie871]

i watched this a year ago and i was like..... man who the fuck is that? now after many months later after listening to RHCP im like..... HOLY SHIT ITS FLEA! OMFG

[ghostKurt]

FINALLY an uncensored version!

[duskodutina]

You wouldn't expect words of wisdom from a guy with purple hair, but there you have them. :D

[ghostKurt]

@duskodutina blue hair?! agree with the rest

[duskodutina]

@ghostKurt Well, blue, purple, whatever :D

[asp4eva]

that is what i call a real induction

[pmartinss]

Kirk is always so emotional, look at him 2:40 something, idk, he looks like he's about to cry!! that's too funny

[LeonKayy]

YES! I heard him talking :D

[sanitarium992]

Tears in Het's eyes gave me chills... RIP Cliff, we miss you

[KeVoRkIaN7]

Newsted gets biggest cheer!! The people know......

[Dopemop]

flea kinda forgot about mustaine and mcgovny.. but other than that Cheers to Flea and Double Cheers to METALLICA!!!

[hipolito1977]

Totally agreed with steelerbradd Metallica just the best !!!

[LedZeplican]

damn man james was almost to tears when he was talking about cliff...

[10laughungtears]

We miss Clifffffffffffff!

[kinkyirishman]

Flea did a hell of a job with this.

[tarekflash91]

Flea can read :D

[KGuitarH]

I can't believe this was 2 years ago already :O

Metallica rules \m/

[ussrcolostalin970]

nice hair flea

[DAMIVzombie]

Metallica Rulezz!!!

[jenny12986]

Love my Metallica! WOOO! A great day in Rock/Metal history

[Princeteradeth]

Flea hits this on the head... his noting the band's genuine approach to making original and sincere music(politely giving a 'fuck you' to those terds who claim they have sold out), his tribute to Cliff as a virtuoso musician, his defending heavy music as an important genre that serves a therapeutic purpose....this is a brilliant speech made by one superb musician in his own damn right. Hell. Yes.

[hirummy]

Love Flea.

[Cynni96]

6:43.. it look that james fight with his tear.. sweet..

if i one day see james cry i think i cry with him

[Cynni96]

haha james at 1:00 ^^

love metallica

[grunt12394]

now we just need to get rush and gnr in thumbs up if you agree!!

[1986cure]

dude i love flea !!! he has such a unique voice  xD haha

[wseeback]

This is one of the most impressive, flattering speeches i have ever heard. And i'm so proud that it is for Metallica's induction into the Hall Of Fame. All the years growing up listening to Metallica, this is the speech i wish they had being inducted. Thank you Flea.

[mira4611]

Metallica,a mighty thing!\m/

[Theshiggityshwa]

"For the people Who give it up and get rocked by Metallica, the world is alot less of a lonely place."

Those words strike so hard at my soul...

[terkelterke]

5:06 to the right is cliffs dad

[tcdude001]

One of the greatest speeches i have ever heard!

[HellBrYnger]

7:10 and on.

true words.

[LuisRamirez666]

James wanted to induct mustaine. it was out of respect.

[MetallicaPantera2010]

@LuisRamirez666 ur right he did

[johnduncan77]

When Flea started to talk about Cliff, I notice James REALLY lost it. Great words said. Having seen Cliff in 1985, I can say this is true. As a bass player, he's the Randy Rhodes of bass. I felt that way then & still do. 

[mikeyspikey12]

Cliff Burton <3

[diziamonddave]

flea did a good job. im a tried and true metal fiend and even though im not a fan of metallica anymore i am a fan of metallica if that makes sense. their first four records wrecked my life in a way cause they turned me into a musical fiend. i sitll jam those albums on a regular basis and turned me on to so many other heavy metal bands its unreal. fleas speech is great

[RenderedMusic]

If You Have to Ask, great RHCP song

[KrazyKali69]

I remember buying master of puppets at Bradlees in 86 or 87 i think it was! all my friends at the time couldn't believe i found it! lol (like, wow man where'd you find this awesome music......uhhh........Bradlee­s!?) lol

[McRighty]

1:00. My God that is such a cute moment, when James covers his (girl's?) ears. 

[guitarbinary]

no words.... just beautiful expression of feelings into words

[SalamiKing7]

Great speech!

[Guilhermetmfranco]

LONG LIVE FLEA, JASON!

RIP CLIFF!

[potmangaz]

lmfao flea im a bass solo myself yes you are haha

[adamianiadamianobdes]

He just said everything that I ever thought about the great thing called METALLICA! This speech rules!!!!

[Ironeira]

ohh, dont cry kirk xD

[happyslappysoong]

he didnt mention mustaine lol

[DanielLoveMetallica]

@happyslappysoong and he for got Ron Mc Govney ^_^

[Goxn]

[iamafreebird100]

[guitarded78]

[TheSuperSalmon]

[pd07048patrick]

@TheSuperSalmon oh yeah, cause alan was clean shaven, had blue hair, and was skinny as hell

ur a dumbass...that or you NEVER even saw the hangover

[TheSuperSalmon]

@pd07048patrick didnt relate him to his look fuckface i was talkin bout his speech

hangover two was dispointing

[pd07048patrick]

@TheSuperSalmon lol, I'm the fuckface? You're the retard that responded 9 months later and still cant make any sense numbnuts.

[TheSuperSalmon]

@pd07048patrick im sorry for having a life outside the computer, which obvisouly you dont.

[TheSuperSalmon]

love flea

[steelerbradd]

Flea was perfect for this and seems to be a real Metallica fan. He was well spoken and described Metallica perfectly, Good job Flea.

[nycbassist76]

@steelerbradd i agree, but at times he sounded like daffy duck lol

[MrACDC1997]

@steelerbradd his shirt says metallica

[WaRrIoRaLeX95]

@steelerbradd yeah, he's awesome.

[everlyredhot]

Flea ! love him
