  • some members of the band cannot be heard clearly but its a good cover anyway!

  • nice cover, but the bass could use a bit of practise. Great job :)

  • Don't apologize. You're doing more than most of the haters. You're up there playing music with others. You learn from these experiences. It's a great effort and I'm glad to see you guys putting forth the effort. If I anyone wants perfection go see the chili peppers video. Keep at it and build on it.

  • Dude don't apologize for that shit. It's a tough song and honestly I think it was pretty good. Most people can't give constructive criticism without being stuck up douchebags. Check out me and my friends jamming to tell me baby, aeroplane and can't stop and tell me what you think! Keep rocking man.

  • I, the bass player of this group, would like to formally apologize for my terrible playing on this song. It was wrong of me to attempt to play a song that was far beyond my skill level. I promise you that beneath this terrible performance lives a decent human being and a die-hard chili pepper fan. Please forgive me for my crime against the music world. Many apologies,

    The Bassist

  • @OverTheBridge314 Dude you did alright on the bass...you stayed on tempo fairly well. I wasn't a bad version, keep rockin' it's a hard song, a true test of laying with feeling.

  • pretty good cover but i think guitar have to be louder than bass. keep rockin´

  • lefty's for the win

  • Keep going boys!!!! A ways to go, but Chilis stuff is worth the hard work :) such great music!!!!

  • the singer's good, the guitar player too, the drummer its cool but keep working in the bass, search better tabs still working 'cause now is not good ._.

  • sounds like your missing an open e with the bass, good cover though

  • no offense to the bass player, but this song doesn't sound any good unless you have the bass part down 100%; keep working on it and eventually it will sound good though

  • really good

  • STAVROOOOO!!!!

  • i can't tell if i love or hate the snare

    good cover though

  • great cover the singers great i just think the bass needs a better amp thats it the guitar sounds great to

  • acoustic of the place is awful

  • that abss just sucks. if you had a bass that wasn't a peavey it would sound good,

  • not bad at all i like it, singer just needs a lil practice

  • shit sound

  • el bajista es peor q yo xDDD

  • El bajista apesta es delopeor que he escuchado,igual que el vocalista es tambien una mierda

    Saludos

  • work on your slam bass man, other than that didnt sound to bad, guitarist man crank up the volume, you sound pretty good make sure people can hear that

  • true that

  • u play fucking good but there´s one thing... please if u record please do not with the cam or something pls record it direct on your computer, but you get 5 stars for fucking good play (:

  • great job on a really hard song guys! guitar.. you effin' rock! seriously, that lead verse riff, you have it dialed in! who are all these douchebags leaving negative comments.... where are YOUR videos internet haters??

  • guitar awesome, drums pretty good, bass hmm not that much rythm, singer okay..

  • no grove or flow in the bass guitar at all

  • and u dont think ur bad! just film with better audio!

  • guitar hero... :P

  • you guys sucked sweaty redneck, and btw gingers can't play the guitar

  • Epic bass fail.

  • shitty bassist

  • uh... ending? wtf?

  • -_- HELP!!

  • u guys suck!

  • A Peppers cover band with THIS bass player? Time for a band member change guys.

  • You cant cover a red hot chili peppers with a poor bassist, the guitarist is very good though:)

  • You used a precision for this!?!?!?!

    And dude, work on your right hand man.

  • The bassist disgusts me.

  • bass sounds bad

  • Guitar is great but the bass is absolutely horrible

  • nice job haha everyones sayin u did a bad job u did a goood job lol just worl a little on the chorus lol keep rockin!

  • i didn't think that was good at all sorry 1* haha bitches

  • The bassist is so bad, the slap sounds muted. But you are idiot saying that is a bad bass because the P bass is cheaper than a MusicMan and not everybody is so freaky to expend more less 900 € in a good bass.

  • the bassist doesnt even play the difficult bit

  • i hate it when gingers play guitar.

    but it nailed higher ground.

    +1 for gingers.

  • hahaha the bassist...drums were kickass, guitarist was tight, singing was very "unique" haha. all in all not too bad

  • I don't see why people judge so much a Squier P bass. I used to slap on one, and it actually does a pretty good sound. Of course it's not a Stingray, but still it can be slapped

  • is that even a squier? it looks like a cort to me :X

    bas player, what were you playing in the chorus?

  • drum does not no how to close the hi hat....

  • turn up the volume lol!

  • aight i guess but the drummer needs some work lk the beat is a shuffle and you really cant hear anything bescides the drums and vocals.

  • k... i'ma critique u... good cover, sound problems obviously you've been told in previous comments, being a drummer i know it's hard, but dude if ur in a band you gotta play like it... i reccomend some dampening rings, an electric drum set (turn it down) or better recording equipment, bass good at the begginning, but i didn't hear it the rest of the time, i agree with the "Too much cymbal crashing." lay back... all you guys are talented, just need to play quiter :)

  • agreed. I wanted to say the same, but then I read your comment.

    thumbs up for ur comment and this vid

    let's say 4/5

  • Alright first off, being a bass player, I know it's a pain in the ass to get the bass to be heard well on camera. The low sound is hard for the recorder to interpret. So that can cause problems on it's own.

    In this case, the drums were way over powered. Too much symbol mashing and what not. More stick on pad. The bass needs to be heard in a song like this.

    Everything else, not too shabby. I loved the guitar.

  • Guys, I hate to say it, but you have something unique, but not quite in a good way. If you call yourselves a RHCP cover band, then at least nail the perfections of RHCP. The bass was okay at the beginning not everyone can make the slap flow as well as Flea, hell not a lot can. But You can't hear ANY bass except the bass DRUM after that. Be it guitar or bass. Singer was good with pitches but he sung it without much bass tone in his voice, which could be a cause of the recording device. good luck

  • OMFG that bassplayer is such a dickhead, he thinks he can play, fucking retard omfg.

    At the end of the song he TRY'S to play it fast,, i cant hear the fucking plugs. its FUCKING sad :( PS: That guitar singer and drummers are pretty nice :)

  • drums good bass good i gess, guitar good but needs to be turned up cos the guitar kind keepd the song going but i thought overalll i liked it

  • rhcp = good bass!!!! where is the fuckin bass solo????

  • pretty good. ****

  • not bad, just get some much louder amps and better guitars.

  • The guitar was perfectly fine. except the volume, The bass was fine at the start. except by the sounds of it, he put a bit too much power into his plucking. the drums were too loud, and the volume of the singer was not loud enough. If the re-made this video at the proper volumes, i think it would be great.

  • DONT SLAP ON A FENDER SQUIRE P BASS! Guitarist is gay. Can't hear the bass... .Epic fail :S.

  • he does look pretty gay ass, but he's kinda good.

  • In these comments: People say the bass is bad because they are stupid. It is completely cut off by the overpowering guitar and drums after the intro. The band are amateur, personally i don't like the drums.. It's just metal bashing. I don't like the interpretation sorry

    Guitar: Not a hard song but really solid - well done

    Bass: Make sure you can be heard next time.

    Singer: Need more vocal range for a chillis song good effort though!

    Overall i'm giving it 3/5 for the effort

  • the guitarist needs to go play with a better band. the only reason i continued to watch this is to listen to him.

  • drummer, rocks

    guitarist, rocks

    singer, almost rocks

    who ever the bassist is u are reali shit learn the song properly b4 u play in a bannnd!!!!!!!!

  • this is so bad its almost worth not putting a comment for... also u can't hear half the song cos the camera ur using is being overpowered

  • 2 of the 5 stars

  • guitarist go find a new band

  • Guitar, singer, and drummer are very goods

    Bass is just good

  • As soon as the guitar and drums kick in, i can't hear the bass anymore, and that's what i'm listening for

  • the guitar is good... the rest....

  • wow... i have to say... this be bad

  • guitar is only good...

  • the drums has too much emphasis on this video, n singing needs a bit of wrk

  • the bass player sucks cock

  • @themanwhoplaysbass come on dude, you are gonna kill the guy xD

  • how bout learn the real bass line and turn up the guitr......singer could b better but think about who he i trying to be...please think before u post

  • Get a new singer...Or get singing lessons...

  • Come on guys, jump around a bit. Since when did the Chilis stand still?

  • BASS NEEDS MORE LOUD!!!!

    then it will be awesome X2

  • bertiemycat, i couldnt have said it better myself hahaha

  • e il basso? dopo l'inizio scompare!...non ci siamo tanto...

  • YOUR SHIT MATE!

  • everything sounded good except the bass intro needs a little work, great job otherwise

  • drummer is to loud... bassist isnt that great... singer needs work... alot. and the guitar... dont stop practicing

  • lol, the bass just fades into nothing cuz the drummer is wicked loud

  • once the drums comes in it drowned out everything

  • haha the intro of the bass is sweet and powerful, like in the real song, then it just fades out when the drummer starts

  • yeah. i think something might have happened with the bass amp.

  • drummer need to learn shuffle beat ;)

  • the drums need to play quieter or bass louder u cant here it after the intro

  • prolly one of the best covers of this song, but dude the vox dont carry out the lyrics so much haha but other than amazing broskis

  • u get the "clacking" because instead of slapping it were u are, u need to slap it on the bottom of the fret board and it sounds alot cleaner, and ten times better. good luck guys!!

  • bass is wrong.. but nice cover

  • he missed like 1 slap a measure but it still osunded aight.

  • the guitar was really good, the singing was decent, you should try to memorize the lyrics but it's ok cuz it aint easy, the drums were pretty good, and the bass was ok but flea is a hard guy to cover

  • Thank you, we appreciate the positivism :)

  • Yeah that clacking sound comes from the bass, for some reason every time you slap it the strings hits the pickups and makes that sound...so no matter what it sounds bad

  • @OverTheBridge314 try slapping it right where the fretboard starts, it gets rid of the pop but also points out the imperfections of playing more. works for me, should work for you.

  • everyone is good but the eq is off.

    You can barely hear the guitar and you cant hear the bass. And the bassist doesnt really know the song too well, if you watch him you can see that he really is just bullshiting his way through the song. Just a little more practice on his part would pay off

  • the guitarist is pretty good

  • bassist take sumtime and clear it up... cuzz ur intro was reali messy.... just take some time. thats wat i did and iv pritti much got it down now...

  • n whoever the bassist is dont have a go at me i am only trying to help and ur gd but just put that note in... it'l rock

  • it pritti gd but turn the guitar up... and bassist trying slapping it on the bottom of the fretboard.... and thers 1 note uv missed out after the 2nd note u play an open E again reali quick b4 doin the rest of the riff.... but apart from that its all gd... turn the singer up aswell so he dusnt have to shout so much... but bassist remember to do that note it sound much kwlr and more like the song.

  • Good job guys, turn up the guitar though.

  • love this band. bass was great, this is hard song to perfect. great guitar and drums. what brand p-bass does bassist have? OH AND EXCELLENT SINGING!

  • sorry but the bass wasn't good

  • yeah but I meant great by effort. flea is hard to play. i can't play his stuff. even as good as that guy, so he's pretty good for me.

  • hear the other bass cover of higher ground (only the good ones)you will understand

  • no duh! obviously this isn't the best cover, its just decent for a beginner! the best are deanthebassplayer1 and Munkybarz

  • if the cover of dean the bass player is the best,i am bill gates

  • its ONE of the best. im not watching all videos. i have a life. and he is pretty good, as he is 12 or 13 or something. lets see yours

  • People who pick apart other people's performances are just lame. Cool sound, cool vibe, rock on!

  • i thought it was good except the drums were too loud and the drummers cymbals kind of sucked

    also i couldnt hear the bassist for my life which was prolly a good thing considering what the intro sounded like

  • well at least your complaining about the equipment and not the players

  • no i was complaining about the bassist in case u didnt see that

  • You can chose to believe me I don't really care about all the cruel people on youtube so quick to criticize, but my bass does not slap at all, listen to the popping sounds its making every time I hit it instead of making the notes, the popping sound is in time with is where the note should be, I cant afford the bass I want right now but I know I can play that line...

  • @OverTheBridge314 you aint playing the bass line right

  • nice job, ur better than alot of singers that cant sing like anthhony to save thier lives,during the chorus it sounded kinda sex pistoly...nice job

  • hey sorry about the negativity going around, everybody's a critic, no one realizes that its not like you guys are professionals and have to sound amazing, i mean for everything in consideration, i thought you were good, but thats just my opinion, of course everybody needs work, no one sounds perfect right off the bat, so keep working guys, as long as the chemistry is there, dont kick someone out, cuz you can always get better, good luck in your life.

  • Thank you very much, It is nice to hear such kind words in such a negative environment as youtube, we will indeed keep working hard, thanks again OverTheBridge

  • bass was off and the guitar wasnt loud enough

    get a new singer

  • yes we should just kick out our good friend because a lovely person on youtube told us to....We'll get right on that :)

  • the guitarist has it pretty much sorted!!!

    bassist needs alot alot of practise though!!!

    Keep it up though =]

    don't anyone say i'm wrong unless you wanna challenge flea's own transcription to tab in the rhcp book of bass transcriptions.

  • am i the only one who can't hear the bass for shit? it may be a 15 watt amp, but a great rule of thumb so you don't fuck your ears is "turn down not up", get your guitarist to turn down, and the drummer to play softer. it's so common to hear the vocals drowned out it's not funny, when the vocals generally need to be the most heard thing. you're playing the line wrong too, you play the riff in e, then in g flat, then you go up to a (i think??), it's like

    g 7

    d

    a 55

    e

  • I think the bassist rocks! Rock on, Bassist!

  • Good cover bassist just needs to put some investment into timing, other that that its good

  • really good guys........ and very nice!!!

  • Vocals are actually really good but thats about it.

  • Guitarist?? Drummer??? I know everyone seems to hate how me, the bassist, did but give the rest credit...

  • lol yeah, he cant slap at all and the line hes playing is rooooooong,

  • seriously you guys is it that bad...give me a break, thats a crappy 15 watt amp I'm plugged into there, and all I have is a Peavy beginner bass, and I know I watered down the line a lot but come on, I can slap and pop at least averagely, and we are recording with a really bad camera...maybe I shall make a reply video but until then get off my case a little bit pleasseee, thanks - The Bassist

  • sorry man but even through heavy duty amps that range 2-3 grand couldnt help that watered down riff guitar playings pretty good absolutly hated the bass if you wanna cover flea do it right. i play bass myself and this is my favorite song to play.

  • If the quality of all of that you mentioned is bad then why the FUCK did you upload the video?

  • if you want to cover rhcp songs your bassist has to learn how to slap! its essential!

  • Bass guy must take a look at that bridge, at 1:28, thats an awsome riff and he doesnt play it! thats terrible, atleast try to improvise something cool there ^^

  • Bass player needs to work on the song some more. Look up the tabs, practice, then try again. Song has a lot more movement to it on the bass

  • Yes I defiantly watered it down a lot, and I am currently trying to get it closer to the real thing. Thank you for the positive feedback

  • To give you a heads up, there is a couple RHCP bass tablature books at guitar center. That should help you nail the tricky parts.

  • good but u need more bass.....and some more guitar...

  • yyour bassist is hitting the pick up messing up the song otherwis its good

  • gee thanks for the positive feed back

  • well i must say that was a pretty sweet cover of a pretty sweet song...good job guys!

  • gahhhhhhhhh i messed up!

  • good
