acidbass Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I'd say out of those three you mentioned, definitely yes! Flea is just an imitator (in more ways than one it seems ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassmasta89 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I am going to wear that suit one day!!!! It would be such a thrill to honour the greats of the bass who donned that costume before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
