[viron369]

he's high...high as a kite....!!

[cultofd]

what year was this? around 80s?

[conni70]

you have to have some smash with your flash...! thanx, Flea...i'll keep that in mind...!

[CornSw]

He knows some therory it seems :-) Scales!

[MrChrisVengeance]

every bass line he's playing is a potential song ..;amazing

[Orangemongoose1]

"...so then the punk rock thing" lol

[coolcolbass]

play like someones gonna shoot you in the face, OR kill you

[Cartoonkid111]

It's funny cuz the guy interviewing flea is totally stoned out of his mind.

[ryedain]

@Cartoonkid111 It's funny cause Flea is talking about playing with heart and soul and emotions and he's talking about about equipment and technicallities. He's missing what Flea is saying and Flea keeps trying to draw him back.

[SandmanOz]

1:54 - Its like a switch gets flipped when he rips into it. Insane, I love it :)

[Carl481]

pause at 0:34 lol

[MrPowerJr]

Utterly amazing

[utahpierce]

How can someone not like this it's beautiful nothing is like it

[thegorillaz2d]

imagine if flea never picked up a bass the bass wouldn't be the same and there would be no chili peppers it is scary to think about

[randomsthuff]

When Flea slaps, it seems like he's the missing link between the drums and the bass.

[luzmilacareballi]

flea is just a musician god for fuck sake he is a golden player

[DominicOberhumer]

Wow, it took me until this video to realise that he's tuned down half a step, anyone else catch that.

[razvymad]

what kind og guitar is that ? what model is fender or what?

[cloprop005]

@razvymad Its a 4 string Musicman Stingray

[brendannestabunches]

@razvymad it's a stingray bass the model is called an Ernie Ball Music Man

[S0NiCCCCC]

i learned slap thanks to his warmup =)...so elementary, yet amazingly useful!...love it...and cant begin to play without doing it!

[TheJKoros]

his hands move so fast when he plays, it's unreal.

[Pavel1915]

Which song of George Clinton he plays?

[achickensandwich]

I never noticed Flea pops with his middle finger. That's just weird.

[cloprop005]

@achickensandwich Its not weird it is called Fleaesque

[TechSmack]

@achickensandwich so do i ..

[DominicOberhumer]

@achickensandwich Many people pop with the first three fingers in alternation or together (for popped chords), a few people even use their pinky (now that is weird)

[pengyou55]

@achickensandwich I pop with my middle finger OR my ring finger...I must be really weird!

[Widestaa]

\m/

[Punisheryo]

I play guitar,but i feel blessed for watching these videos!!

Respect..

[TheRudyGutierrez]

5:43 my head exploded!

[juddrizzo]

I've always felt that way about Metal. Punk always sounded like trash. I just don't get it.

[RHCP1448]

if flea wanted to im positive he could cure cancer

[imyouraveragejoe]

5:42 FUCK YEAH

[GrantSmithBass]

Flea...rocks.

[Doofer22]

Wow. Flea is the man.

[ENMENDURANKI]

Early 90's because River Pheonix died in 1993.

[Silverballer45ACP]

yeah, when was this?... I'm guessing mid 90s?

[jorgenforgen]

when was this?

[kriszpaul]

when he slows down the riffs they start to sound EVEN BETTER imao ;)

super cool vid.

[ElarUno]

to me, Skinny Sweaty Man slowed down kinda sounds like something Tim Commorford from Rage Against the Machine would play

[Fleadomo]

5:45 - Ohhh my god:D

Respect!

[salutyoursolution]

rip cliff burton

[roquelazarus]

all flash and no smash....

thats me awright

[NinjaBurglar]

I think that if flea went to every elementary school in the country and played music and talked all psychedelic to them it would make a generation of cool fucking people.

[basszila]

flea the best

[Isaac0516]

hairy kairy.. lol

[sparky3690]

get up and jump has a very intense bass line.

[lepoglav]

who is the guy who interviewed flea please?

[1986uno45s]

The late River Phoenix.

[joshuag94]

flea had a bad childhood. thats why he has that "awkwardness" when he talks to other people (like in interviews and stuff)

[FUNNYFUDGER]

no thats cuz he's high as a mothafucka

[dv91pr]

ajjaja

he says Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si Do

which in english means: C D E F G A B C xD

[ukop123]

not with movable do... it can be any tonic note it can also be

A B C# D E F# G# A

[damoltier]

you say those things only to show to other people that you are good?

[ukop123]

No you arrogant fool i say it so that people dont spread inccorect information. C D E F G A B is not correct for Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do. Its all based on the same note, just becuase someone says something correct doesnt mean they are trying to show people that they are good, its to actualy CORRECT a mistake.

[nirvanafrik]

it could be anything, so ?

[Wiseman231]

he is a fucking machine god he is the best

[KanuZankoro]

Flea's the funkiest person ever.

Did you hear that groove that he was creating?

[irkman123]
