[ArmonicB97]

Your stingray should be in a Hard Rock Cafè

[mrnemesis900]

Awesome

[epo916]

Bass playing so crazy that they'll lock you up in an assylum for it!

[OnEEmONErD]

[drbumstein]

[TheDegKath]

"What? Sorry I cant hear you over my awesomness"

[chuli1121]

[XavSch]

[truegamer88]

@XavSch your comment made me literally lol

[harryspooner]

Normally i hate when people use the word rocks' but suits your name DavidSin Rocks \m/

[Bambiraptor0]

i could be you

[danielsolomos]

looks like bruno 

[Iceman030591]

@danielsolomos just actually burst out laughing!!!!

[BinkyTheRabbit]

Good job! The movement of your head was adequate, too :P What I would do if I heard it at a party (if it were live, I'd of course be looking at the drummer and the bassist :P ).

[lifesgrandfinale]

Good cover, good playing too

[TheSicDominator]

holy fuck. you are a boss.

[elnatchio]

great job just work on the consistency of your rhythm

[xVdCx717x]

nice! u gotta band?

[akakooldood]

@xVdCx717x He's the bassist of Deep Kick!

[raem94]

@xVdCx717x check out Deep Kick. They're gonna be massive :)

[Skate3Artist]

@xVdCx717x deep kick

[missqpk]

Awesome

[TheWantedLemonade]

I love this song, nice job David :D

[arlindaatjuh]

omygawd AMAZING!!!!

[mentalmike13]

holy shit. that slide right after the first chorus gave me chills.

[LolindirSurion]

ohhhh holy shiiiiiiit ! dude, i wanna kiss your hugh dick.

[Plaktaart]

really nice job man, but to be honest, I think you can be alot thighter sometimes instead of doing all the fills. Higher ground really is a song with a basic bass line, and i think you don't have to fool around to play it well.

You are a amazing bass player tho. Keep up the good work.

[LEUlightshows]

hmm figures... Flea was his teacher

[trtjh6j]

You are fucking talented.

[Link2000999]

OH MY GOD. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME I'VE WATCHED THIS. AMAZING SHIT.

[Link2000999]

Oh my god.

[IEAIAIOzz]

i would love to be able to do that. great party trick :L

[Whenyoustrange]

Mec tu me fais tripper avec ta basse MERCI :D

[MathDT96]

I have good news and bad news. Your father ... well it is not your father. The good is q Flea is your real father.

[NathanielEllisGuitar]

THANK YOU! the bass book i got tought me wrong... YOU ROCK!

[Jubessubicuba]

he kinda looks like scott pilgrim. but can play much much better.

[GhettoChildTaZ]

flea has a son?? whoa im imfrigginpressed



[hppaviliona1700la]

i like that you are good and humble

[wongy1998]

never seen todd ingram doing slap bass before

[lastoftheAZNGIRLS]

I'm learning this right now. I thought I was pretty good until I watched this.

[Eddyson85]

I actually did it and the translation was "sun never dies" :D Flea is one great bassist! But no matter how great he is he will die anyway some day :(

[jackykrusemacky]

The Vegan Evil Ex from Scott Pilgim = David Sin?

[nuke97]

RHCP and Marcus Miller really do the best version of this tune outside of Stevie Wonder.

[edelozier23]

fuckin impressed, been playing bass for 4 years and im 22 my self.. and yeah im impressed

[thetrolliscoming]

Good, now do it on a stage, jumping around, in your underwear. And you own the rights to the next flea :D

[jayjohnson83190]

i think ive watched this 50 times



[jayjohnson83190]

muy bueno

[andredidiergijon]

cool, raise treeble 

[JoSeokJung]

Beautiful

[mayothecat]

@djsguide with the exception of fleas bass lines cause death from overexposure to pure awesomeness

[Jordo1900]

And nearly 500,000 views :)

[Jordo1900]

Best bass cover, best bass, best bassline, best coverist on the internet

[Morkmetal]

Aww yeah good cover, and the sound quality is so good, Good job!

[charmanderstail]

Flea is a good thing, maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.

[beno2367]

@djsguide no it can be done: 'flea once fingerbanged a woman to death'

[VintageBalderdash]

Am I the only one that thinks he looks like Todd Ingram here?

[abcde1454]

you are the best bass player covering songs by rhcp

[SiNk1337]

1:35 I'm fucking awesome

[newbass28]

how can there be 58 dislikes for this? :O

[lnknperk96]

haha dude i see your your oldest video of this song you upgrade your skills so fast, i admire you men

[cursedswordsman]

I want that Stingray!

[RmZpowaA]

Hey, comment t'as fait pour publier une cover des RHCP dans qu'elle soit bloquées sur Youtube ? J'en ai fait plusieurs, mais j'ai dû les mettre sur Dailymotion...

[rubiksboy98]

look at him!!! lol

[squiddie96]

the whole time hes thinking "fuck my hand is killing me!" haha

[thegorillaz2d]

57 dislikes means 57 people cant reach the higher ground

[Bear42087]

david sin IS AWESOME

[X13mcr13X]

gahh you make it look so easy:P 5 stars for you(:

[Gantrey]

has someone ever saw Flea and David in the same room together?

[Adam1169445]

Flea lives on as David. Best Bass cover on Youtube

[lilfishskater]

Flea would be proud. Nice work son

[Zomgwtfbbq1228]

flea allowed chuck norris to be born

[Uzzie101]

@Zomgwtfbbq1228 Flea played slap-bass porn music while norris' parents were going at it

[Zomgwtfbbq1228]

@Uzzie101 rofl

[amynana1231]

i love you .

lmaoo this cover goes inn #amazinnggg

[ZaferToker07]

whats your bass? musicman ??

[Kudgebass]

I really appreciate your version!

[slipknotjamesroot1]

flea's son

[gamp84]

wooo panita eres increible, que pedal de efecto usas ? espero me respondas a pesar de mi idioma saludos desde Venezuela....

[DrSwagMeOut]

David. God damnit. You make me feel so bad about my own playing. You're always so flawless and have such good technique and tone. Great job. Excellent even.

[iangotango13]

Hey dude! Have you figured how to get the triplet sound it makes in the intro like how flea does it in the album? cuz I can do it, but not while slapping, I have to pluck em with my fingers

[NoNewInterestingNick]

Look at the speed of his hand. : D

[the45adm]

well...if flea ever leaves rhcp..and Im not saying I want that to happen..we know who his successor will be..

[akakooldood]

Super Saiyan!

[NoNewInterestingNick]

Usually on records bass is too silent, in my opinion. Viedos like this help to fully enjoy this pure bass music. Love it, greets.

[ej3jay23]

Hey bro first off amazing cover it's astounding to me that such a simple song can be so breathtaking. Honestly I think this song is still one of there bests. O and I've been watching ur vids since I started playin about six years ago and I'm glad to c u were consistanly still goin at it. I've been playin on and off for the past two years and lately Ive been starting to take it serious again thanks for the influence. I wish u best of luck in future

[jolkm465]

He almost looks bored...

[MonsMjelde95]

FreakyStyleyMusic is better!

[TehWhiteSauce]

scott pilgrim

[Negro306]

u're fucking' awesome dude...

[MUFC127]

Henrik Larsson, is there anything you can't do?

[bobonbobon24]

when I was on a music class presentation and doin some Slap Pluck stuff like that on my bass, my music teacher asked. " amazing. where did you learn that?." I replied "David."

[martindavd]

Wow, bang up job....holy sh**

[yomammaonastick]

in my schools jazz band are director starts handing us our new music and i see that its higher ground. i got excited as hell until i remembered who really wrote this song.

[MajoraMasks66]

Omfg. That was amazing.

[Number4Bass]

give tab pls :)

[BrunettexMusic]

That's just insane!!

[rockzUrH3LL]

I automatically pressed 'LIKE' on the first 5 seconds XD

awsome cover!

[xbobbyx100]

@rockzUrH3LL It's David we have to like. XD

[metallicafan3113]

I would normally say that you have a problem cause you can actually hear the bass, cause you normally can't, but this song is bass dominated, so.... Nice job

[BarekHalfhand]

It took me forever to learn this song and he probably picked it up instantly LOL....

[portuguesecarlo]

GOOD...my bassist also play well but he is big, bad and ugly

[gerLd]

bass intro somewhat reminds me of seinfeld



[DeepFriedBorito]

i want to know if he got any blister after playing it the way he did =S

[Puppet02]

hey.. can you put the tabs for this song please?

[RyanK222]

hes beating the bass like a cheap hooker ahaha i love it

[veronicakreeger]

[TheRobertjavier81]

[Rockinjosh1]

[mgmbass]

[Bassfreak97]

[DrOSKARRR]

Genio!

[girlsandboysmakebaby]

That was awesome

[TalonM13]

[legacymindpilot]

Wow! My fingers would turn black and fall off if I even thought of trying that. Well done, DavidSin, Well Done.

[flea401]

otimo cover

[pokebass1]

hate to insult you but searyisly higher ground??..

it has an awful bass cover.

[Troiasta]

@pokebass1 Fuck off, it's great to cover.

[pokebass1]

@Troiasta it's a horrible cover but he makes better than the orrigdinal

[Jack395re]

@Troiasta I think what he means is it's not exactly a cover. It's sort of his own version. And yes, is much better. It's a horrible cover, because cover implies you're attempting to copy something completely and utterly. This.. Is completely different, but much fucking better.

[XimRaix]

@Jack395re Covering a song doesn't mean that you should completely copy everything.

[neznarfjd]

@XimRaix I think it gives him the right. I bet hes a lot better than you

[XimRaix]

@neznarfjd Yes he is. I didn't say I am better than him. I was just saying that a cover doesn't mean that you should play the song the exact way it was made. Besides, I'm a guitarist.

[Rurx25]

if flea ever leaves which i hope never happens at least the chili peppers will have a chance to live on with u

[happyhippiedude]

percussive fingering just like me haha

[smhlancer85]

did you take lessons???

[MATTWILLNOTDEVIATE]

Bass God!! Thumbs up if you agree!

[andoman20]

i honor people who can complete this song on bass without stopping

[cestoiber117]

@andoman20 seriously. It's one thing to be able to play for like 30 seconds like I can, but to play the whole song is another task.

[cursedswordsman]

DavidInSocks

[jacobmadsen11]

You. im a bassist and i love you. your a boss dude.

[MultiPentagramm]

nice cover^^

[ninchick96]

what seize of gauges should i use for slapping?

[BlakeMDavis]

@ninchick96 I prefer medium, but it's all preference.

[everlastcro]

nice playing

[MrMichaelS85]

from one slapper to another: nicely done, sir.

[pianoplaya103]

i played this in my local guitar and bass shop and the guy said leave now. he was jeleous of my bass madness lol

[cheapcape]

KARATE KID FTW!!

[lolsean]

@cheapcape nah man Power Rangers! fuckin nostalgia :P

[charbok]

Fuck this makes me wanna trash my life and buy a bass.
