[Adamodevadam]

[SomethingCool2Watch]

[ChoclatexLesbians]

[Zeolot88]

Would be fucking awesome if he plugged up to an amp, but still is pretty cool

[Mr476259911]

It looks like flee, it sounds like flee but hes wearing a shirt so it cant be

[1123awesomeness]

@Mr476259911 YOU SPELLED HIS NAME WRONG. It's "Flea" not Flee...

[Floriflop]

@1123awesomeness true but u speak it FLEE an not flea i hope u know that ^^

[1123awesomeness]

@Floriflop Yeahh thats true thats true.. haha

[LucasHormann]

I love that he never play without feeling the music... we can see the energy shaking his bones

[adrianao69o]

haaa! now i know the secret to using my bass without an amp. losen the strings........

[Ruben5Bass]

@adrianao69o riiiiighhhtt........

[adrianao69o]

@Ruben5Bass im a beginner so yeaaaahhhh.....

[Ruben5Bass]

@adrianao69o loosening the strings wouldnt be such a good idea, u might wanna try just pulling ur strings harder.

[Ryuuku0]

all is "SIMPLE" with flea xD

[ganareporever]

Camera man talks like he was in a porn movie

[MrPoppers40]

@ganareporever who can't have sex with Flea ? *-*

[Samrockbio]

@ganareporever This is porn.

[dpgiaca97]

@ganareporever especially at 3:39

[MsPablo11]

@ganareporever ''oh yeah and now undress''



[syndrome666]

Flea is back playing Musicman? I thought he gave up on Musicman for the simple fact that wooden neck simply need to be set up from time to time and switched to modulus basses. It's also odd to see him play a Sterling rather than the good old Stingray.

[BigBlueSpaceGoat]

@syndrome666 That's the Flea bass. He's got his own brand.

[syndrome666]

@BigBlueSpaceGoat No it is not. At 3:47 you can clearly see it's a 90s or late 80s era Sterling. Bridge sits very close to the bottom of the body contour, has the bend back piece covering the string ball ends, and also has the 2 well renowned allen screw mounts at either side, with the addition of string mutes no longer available on this model. At 3:21 you can see the traditional MM headstock tuner mount style as a 3+1. Also there's 22 frets, Sterlig 4 strings come with 22 frets.

[bretton696969]

@syndrome666 Pretty sure it's a Stingray, not a Sterling. Granted they're similar, but the Sterling is the "cheap" version of the Stingray. Why would Flea play the mediocre bass, when he can have the higher quality one? I own a Stingray and absolutely love it.

[bretton696969]

@syndrome666 Never mind, I spoke too soon. You are absolutely correct, that is the Sterling... strange.

[syndrome666]

@BigBlueSpaceGoat A fleabass has 20 frets, always has a matching headstock color, 4 tuner inline design on the headstock, a truss adjustor at the headstock (MM has them at the base of the neck), pickguard is round rather than egg shaped, bridge is a more generic inline bolted only with no mutes or bend back tailpiece, and last but not least only 2 controls: master vol and master tone. A sterling has a 3 band EQ as a standard with 4 controls: bass, mid, treble, and vol with a pup mode switch.

[BigBlueSpaceGoat]

@syndrome666 I just assumed it was a fleabass cause it was flea and the cutouts look kinda similar 0.0

[rhcp4565]

the part at 1:56 just absolutely blows my mind....that is so cosmically beautiful

[kmamercy]

Haha, he wouldn't let the cameraman talk, he just kept playin'! xD

[daveshaw18]

@thechuckwillkill It's not plugged in.. and I'm pretty sure Music Man basses sound awesome when plugged in.

[AngrieFace]

I'd shit my eyeballs out thru my ears if I ever met flea XD

[basparta98]

Flea deserved better quality of videos!

[lukegranger89]

why is everyone saying this is so awesome? didnt you hear the man, he said it's simple so STFU

[TheAmazingScotsman]

@lukegranger89 It's simple to him because he's fucking flea you mong fuck, you go and try do the chorus of Hump De Bump and get back to me.

[lukegranger89]

@TheAmazingScotsman ahh shut tha fuck up. Plus i can play the chorus of hump de bump on guitar so stfu

[TheAmazingScotsman]

@lukegranger89 Aye okay lmao, fucking shit cunt.

[lukegranger89]

@TheAmazingScotsman i can bro, what flea does there for the chorus i can do on guitar. u mad?

[TheAmazingScotsman]

@lukegranger89 Why would I be mad that you can do that on guita? try doing it on bass, without a pick and see how you get on then .. dick.

[lukegranger89]

@TheAmazingScotsman yeah if i had of been playing bass from when i was 2 then yes i could do that too, but presently i can't.

[TheDeadKennedys]

@lukegranger89 After a couple years of solid 6-8 hour a day practice, you will be able to play any of Flea's basslines. Add one more year and you'll be able to play Les Clay Pool's. Composing is a whole different story though.

[ganareporever]

@TheDeadKennedys When you are composing a song you don't have to know how to play, you have to know what music means.

PD: Flea owns Claypool ;)

[Prettyflyforabassman]

@TheDeadKennedys

it depends on the feel

[MomentaryLapse12]

*Plays some ridiculous bass line*

"You know, simple"

I hate it when people compare Flea to God, he's good but he's no Flea.

[TheAmazingScotsman]

Wtf that Hump De Bump lick is fucking nuts lmao. people who don't play bass will have no idea how hard it is to walk between strings that fast.

[MrTubbley]

the camera footage cant keep up with his fingers haha :P

[humanills]

"You're funkin' it up here a little bit aren't you?"

"you know that is how it goes" *shrug

the master.

[euphoriands]

His hands are so damn big. Makes the neck look tiny....

[mastroplay]

@euphoriands It's cause the MusicMan Sterling is tiny. About 5mm less than a MusicMan StingRay neck...

[MooseHunter911]

If I where a girl, id dream about those fingers... :D

[voula1111]

@rhcpfever Ναιι τον αγαπαμε! :D

[LDD37]

i thought flea was allergic to shirts

[IpodIsAddicting]

Yes it's simple! but I can't play it :P

[Tech3000i]

flea is god

[Beefer145]

He's even too fast for the video to keep up.

[rexlangenberg]

That isn't Flea

Flea never has a Shirt on

[TheAlmostGod888]

@rexlangenberg OH MY GOSH WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT I THOUGHT IT WAS FLEA AND HE JUST HAD BODY PAINT ON! THATS NOT REALLY FLEA MAN!

[puglle]

@TheAlmostGod888 you dum



[aLwAyZaLwAyZLaTe]

i like the strings sound unplugged

[LOKOLOKO52]

pure awsomnes

[elbeast999]

Sorry to be so tone-deff at the moment but for "hump de Bump" do yall know if he pulls his low "E" string down to a "D"?

[RasclartPictures]

@elbeast999 Doesn't sound dull enough, so I'd guess not.

[tinyindiandude13]

This bass is the "Music Man Sterling MN" for the people who were wondering and for the stupid/unknowing people it's NOT PLUGGED IN... hence the fact that you can't hear it super good.

[Icyjoe14]

You know, just real simple



[localskateboarding]

what kind of bass is that? sounds kinda crappy

[bonscottboy]

@localskateboarding he doesnt use a amp u fuckass

[localskateboarding]

@bonscottboy ah i didnt know that really effected the quality. Sorry for insulting you?

[arnolddrummer]

@localskateboarding it's not plugged in so....

[togimogi]

rofl his right hand is so fucking muscley

[jesusitsant]

wow, listening to charlie i always imagine it was a slap bass thing. oh well thats an intresting fact for the day.

[darksomethingg]

really powerful fingers!



[IfearGuitars]

@darksomethingg Flea once fingered a girl... She died.

[MRmaximixam]

@IfearGuitars hahahaaha

[OneOfTheAliens]

easy? xD

[J0000z]

I used to be his maid

[CabbatheHot]

you what hapend to the girl who got fingered by Flea? xD

[Kanadaeh2]

I love when he plays something fucking impossible hes just like "Yea its pretty simple"

[wayne1515]

dani calilfornia its simpy hahahaha best joke ever flea ur a monstar gonna so learn bass after drums

[holkemann]

I believe that's a music man sterling.

[TheFunkyCriminal]

@holkemann yeahhh i was thinking so, the necks thinner than his stingray.

[RHCPx4xEVER]

The guy holding the camera is no pornstar thats anthony kiedis lead singer of rhcp lawl but he could be a porn star.

[gamer0unreleased]

@RHCPx4xEVER Hahahaha in what way is Anthony NOT a pornstar?

I think his tube sock days make him pretty darn close

[GaPGiO64]

@RHCPx4xEVER Really??!

[gratefulDead619]

what a lucky guy that camera guy is

[spinnerGxZ]

simple uhum.

[fowter1]

i miss freaky styley

[mathgeekphysics]

MY HANDS ARE TIRED JUST BY WATCHING HIM PLAYING....

[Ghefly]

look at his fingers man!

[greadion4]

Flea, the only bass player I care about.

[carmoacdc1]

the best!!!!

[happyhippiedude]

who took this video? i wish i could sit down with flea and have him teach me stuff



[TheAmazingScotsman]

that hump de bump lick was fucking immense.

[Thomas72210]

Fuck!!!! He's god!!!!

[MooseHunter911]

Playing a bass unplugged is really good training for the fingers, you gotta play hard to make it sound

[vraza14]

Flea is amazing, but the quality of this video is really bad and worse, the audio and video are not sychronized, so you hear what he is playing 2 seconds after he played it.

[treverpitts]

@vraza14 hes not using a amp thats why

[TheUnsungArtist]

Flea: Well you see. *Plays difficult riff* All it is, is just *Plays epic riff* and then a little *IMPOSSIBLE BASS LINE THAT NOBODY ELSE CAN PLAY* That's all.

[MrMatyboy3000]

YIKES! his hands be old!!!

[yowwai95]

how the hell is the bass so loud when it's unplugged? holy crap he must be playing so hard

[WatiTheChef]

Something isn't right..... OH MY GOD, HE'S WEARING A SHIRT, FUUUUUUUUUU-

[Hopper3513]

Flea's the man!

[BalossinoLuca]

flea looks like a dude with positive vibe all the time, what a cool guy to hang out and chill

[ThePa12]

wat a fucking man



[vichiousfishes]

That crazy lick at 3:38 it looks like he hits 2 notes. most video cameras record at 60 frames per second so that means his fingers are moving faster than 1/60th of a second!

[krollie1207]

sometimes i wonder if he is from this planet.. Perhaps hes from the planet Insane Bass Player!!!!!!! God this guy is just.. the master off bass, Although fieldy is my favorite ^^ but that's cause he plays in KoRn.. Yet hes insane!

[kawiikuchan]

Oh my god his fingers look so strong... i bet he could break someones skull with his index finger O.O

[giltabz]

is that unplug or plugged?

[turtleguy910456686]

@giltabz definitely unplugged

[WhyThatGuy13]

Guy holding the camera sounds like a pornstar.

[SuperDayv]

@WhyThatGuy13 hahahaha yeah I couldn't shake that vibe either

[gertjeeeh]

@WhyThat uy13 That's not strange,

Everyone would sound like a porn star hearing Flea playing.

[InsomniaDonkey]

@WhyThatGuy13 You watch too much porn methinks.

[masterdeathify]

@WhyThatGuy13 you'd know what a male pornstar would sound like.

[jagbass1016]

I see Flea likes a little fret buzz. So do I. Makes the funk even dirtier haha

[tuks6]

@jagbass1016 Me too, i got my E string as low as possible, for extra buzz :)

[bass5445]

@jagbass1016 i cant get rid of mine lol. stingray fail D:

[krollie1207]

flea, you rock! you'be just made me cry tears of joy (tears of headbanging joy that is!) ihe saids: the chorus in Dani Calfornia is real easy, i've been trying to get the rithem in my fingers for about 2 months!!

[jamesman74]

1:28 sounds like la isla bonita covered by system of a down

[locow86]

OMG this is so SICK...........

[camtheman3x6]

his right hand is scary !

[Smokey5Nut]

Flea is the shit he fucking rocks

maybe plug into an amp next time tho

[locowali9]

suck my cock, leave the drugs fagget...P.D.: motherfucker!!! assface!!! asshole!!! fuckface!!!!

[AtticusFinchIsAThug]

The strength in his hands must be ridiculous.. look at his veins popping out

[zegaldino1]

34 Peaple like justin biber. xD uRAIRuarirAIUR

[tntrampage1]

clack clack clack

plug the bass into the amp!

[0megaSapphire]

Where is the rest of this vid?

[FadedSTEELERSfan]

Man I would have had so many blunts to blaze with flea right there.

[curbdancer2002]

give the man an amp! fuck sake lol

[pgbgti]

Poor strings xD

[goldenhopper]

Regardless of how fast, slow hard or easy Flea plays, it's always tasteful, that is his true talent. Nice guy too. Many years ago I was his pool man. What an honor it was...

[jcbickha]

@goldenhopper thats sick... Flea's pool man claasic!

[jcbickha]

@goldenhopper thats sick... Flea's pool man classic!

[ganareporever]

@goldenhopper O.O
