[dirtydog104]

@Catwink41 it stops the spam... there are people who would make bots going to every video spamming links if it didnt exist

[Catwink41]

What I DO NOT like about Youtubde is they give me this message when I have only posted one comment. Then you have to copy that word. WHAT is that???

[Catwink41]

Bless ALL musicians.  they bring us a lot of JOY.....HUH!

[ChrisisBass13]

[Catwink41]

@ChrisisBass13  YES, me too!

[bassmajor]

Screw your comments about flea. He is one of the most overrated Bassists of all time. Of course sting isn't better than him but his fans know how to shut up!!!!!

[Mjoolman]

Oh people be comparing Flea and Sting, two completely different bassists, just frikkin enjoy the music, and at the end of the day, Stevie wrote the damn song so shut your faces.

[AJT285]

flea is better. sorry.

[buddhaluv123]

@matsta74

Flea aint got nuthin on Sting PERIOD!!!

[skyman214]

[viniciusrech2111]

piano,drum and vocal = stevie wonder

[TjuckNL]

I got this trough a rhcp link.... believe me Iam a big rhcp fan(check my channel) but this is better then the peppers tbh.......

[Dedalusalley]

@TjuckNL Obviously this is better, Stevie Wonder wrote it!

[RossHildick3D]

sting looks SO FUCKING MUCH like my dad... !

[santa3103]

People who compare musicians based on technical ability are not true music lovers.

[daverow49]

Enjoy the music. Leave the other irrelevant stuff elsewhere. Stop making comparisons. Music isn't a game. Each musician expresses their music their way. You no like, you go. Bye:)

[skinflowerUK]

Sting is one of the most influencial, yet under rated bass players of all time, much like Paul McCartney.

Regardless, the guy sings whilst doing this.

And either way, this is two of the greatest vocalists from pop music combining two of the greatest songs, (this is the second half, the first half is Roxanne).

Just enjoy

[nellie2581]

Great combo!

[mazokisss]

People keep on learnin'

Soldiers keep on warrin'

Teachers keep on teachin'

Preachers keep on preachin'

World keep on turnin'

[arjorohe4]

Flea, Sting, Paul McCartney, John Paul Jones, etc, etc... each one of them has a unique vibe and sound on the bass, each one of them are legends, none of them are better than each other.

p.s. just enjoy the fucking music!

[qswut]

xxxxellent.

[nat00ben06]

Look there's a beard on stage with a nothing under it! Just kidding Sting is a musical genius but all this song ever needed was Stevie!

[YoniIsrael]

@NtinosSkater

so what is this thing thoes girls did at 2:16?

[NtinosSkater]

@YoniIsrael Hm! I don't know!

[adebicki]

sting (stung) does not need to be up there!

[hippojuice23]

What an Ass-clown! Sting needs to die!

[adebicki]

@hippojuice23 Sting needs a smack with a telephone book!

[DRUMMER1996GEN]

@hippojuice23 you motherfuckin ASSHOLE i wish somebody kill you

[93californication]

Sting aint got shit on Flea.

[matsta74]

@93californication Flea ain't got nothin' on Sting as a vocalist.

[93californication]

@matsta74 Very true.

[TouchSlap97]

@matsta74 And Sting ain't got nothin' on Flea as a bassist :)

[Zlotrov]

@TouchSlap97 And Stevie eats both of them for breakfast ;)

[venbear3]

@TouchSlap97 I beg to differ. Listen to the first 5 Police albums, and you will hear a very good bassist. He's not a show off like Flea or that dude from Primus, but he has a beautiful technjque and doesn't so much slap as he does coax.

[raem94]

@venbear3 First off, Flea isn't a show off, compared to some slap bass his lines are actually quite simple and fit RHCP songs very well. Second, never claim that RHCP and Primus are similar, they are so different that in one sentence you ultimately proved how ignorant you are of that type of music.

[venbear3]

@raem94 See, I imagine people like you, angry, small in soul and stature, needing to correct the world all the time. Flea IS a show off, you dumb motherfucker. He revels in that role. He's a rock star. In addition, Les Claypool and Flea might as well be blowing each other, their bass lines are so similar. You are arguing for the sake of correcting someone on the internet, and that sir, is weak. Fuck off and try to enjoy the music without thinking you know so much about it. Have a nice day!

[raem94]

@venbear3 Please show me a Les Claypool line which in any way resembles anything Flea has ever done. The two bands are completely dissimilar, and you would know that if you invested any time in either of them.

Also, the statement "You are arguing for the sake of correcting someone" is possibly the most moronically stupid thing i have ever read. Please inform me of any other type of arguing in your next abusive message :)

[gfimadcat]

@TouchSlap97 different styles

[viappioshred]

@TouchSlap97 yes sting has timing

[feanor22]

@matsta74 or as a musician in general. Come on people, no matter how RHCP fan you are, you CAN'T compare them. Sting is no Clapton but he's at least a couple levels over any RHCP member.

[matsta74]

@feanor22 That was the point I was trying to make originally. All of these musicians we are talking about are great in their own right and because of the accomplishments that they have made...they do not deserve a bunch of people who do not know what they are talking about scrutinizing or comparing them. They have all made it to the top by a work ethic that most of us cannot imagine and I am sure they respect each other. Why can't we also give them all the respect they deserve?

[matsta74]

@matsta74 Music is an art form NOT A COMPETITION!!!!

[dumena]

@matsta74 perfectly said. you could copy/paste this into a zillion youtube comments :-) great!

[Caneggia12]

@matsta74 Flea ain't got nothin' on sting on sting as anything actually.

[urbancasbah]

@matsta74 both of them seems nothing compared to Pino Palladino. :D

[Bamawjacks2213]

@urbancasbah No Stanley Clark and Les Claypool are the best bassist ive seen and have heard.

[Aidos8158]

@Bamawjacks2213 Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten (;

[Catwink41]

@Aidos8158  JAMES JAMERSON YA'LL!!!

[Aidos8158]

@Catwink41 YEAH!! :DD

[viappioshred]

@matsta74 neither as composer :)

[MrNodzilla]

What a prick Sting is,he thinks he is royalty!

[jacksonheitmann]

@MrNodzilla man Sting is a legend don't hate on such a great contribution to rock and roll

[MrNodzilla]

@jacksonheitmann .What contribution is this,the police lol??? Even if he had made the contribution you think he did(snigger) that doesn't excuse the pompousity from him and his snooty wife,not to mention his spoit talentless kids!

[Foxhat134]

@MrNodzilla With utmost respect you sir are the biggest cunt to grace the earth

[MrNodzilla]

@Foxhat134 .Cheers!

[Foxhat134]

@MrNodzilla No problem sweetheart

[brusselleke]

I love the version of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but it's nothing compared to the energy on this stage !

[Illegal190]

[applewhiteroad]

[SLAAAASH1]

i would to see stevie and flea play this song together

[feyenoordole5]

ubelievable how fucking lame that crowd is.. This is one of the most funky performances I've ever seen and all they do is stand still and take pictures.. I'm watching this behind my computer and can't stop my body from moving on this.. Unbelievable.

[QwertyThatShit]

@feyenoordole5 false... that crowd was going ape shit, i was there and it was crazy bro.

[gregonline6506]

[karin210195]

[Sandler41882]

That transition is the most epic shit ive ever heard.

[daviddraexe]

Even Sting sounds like a cover band musician with Stevie beside him.

[malive76]

E S P E C T A C U L A R !

[Savadi23]

nice sound

[nickfgatt]

sting should still be doing vocals and maybe rhythm guitar for this song but anyone whos plays and really knows their music well knows this wouldve been 10x more epic and sounded 100x as good had the hall of fame had the sense to stick flea in there on bass. duh.

[drumsticks135]

Sting looks like a bamf with the beard

[drummerpsycho]

@NtinosSkater  who is the drummer?

[Milan788]

No offense, but sting sucks at singin' this.

[c0d3x001]

@Milan788 hmm... i actually think he did an amazing job...but i guess everybodys taste is a little different...but still i think that was a really nice performance there

[Milan788]

@c0d3x001 of course, sting is amazing, but he just does'nt get this song like stevie does P:
