Do you get paid commission by Flea? All your posts are about him... 

 

Never really understood why some people regard him as master bassist, he has a few decent licks, but as a player he's a bit weak. I mean his 'national anthem' solo is just awful!

I quite like him, he was one of the ‘gateway’ players that got me into playing bass but is he an all time great? Possibly not. 
 

Not keen on that national anthem though, it might have been OK without all the improvisation and shredding!

Some people prefer pizza over pasta. Matter of taste.

Oh absolutely, the world would be a bland and grey place without differing opinions and personal likes/dislikes! 

 

But... that national anthem is questionable at best! 🤓

Fortunately for you, there's plenty other threads not involving Flea ;)

I agree. I like him, in general. He does some things that make me go 'urgh' at times, but I enjoy his style. That national anthem... I can live without, 'though.

I really like Flea but in my view this is the worst Chili Peppers song ever. It's utterly dire, devoid of originality and Tom Petty should have sued. Just to be clear if you love it, I respect your view and am happy that you get enjoyment from it. To me it represents a creative nadir for the band and signposts towards their bland late era output. No disrespect intended to the OP but there are so many better RHCP songs.

Yeah, I prefer Christian McBride's jaunty version 😉:

Haha that wasn’t what I was expecting 😂

 

Who knew that NBA teams had so many high profile bassists as fans? I’d like to see Mark King perform God Save the Queen at the FA Cup final just for something a bit different.

It would be Stuart Zender playing Land of Hope and Glory at the last night of The Proms for me..😁

We do this track in our band - did it last night in fact - and I spent a while analysing it while learning it.  Flea never plays it the same way twice by a long margin, so I came up with my own with is about 2/3 true to the album version, and about 1/3 my own work.  A good song to do live, and our guitarists enjoy letting rip at it as well.

Last Dance With Mary Jane, eh? In my head I often start one and morph into the other :D

That was my approach too when I was in a RHCP tribute band. The main bits are all there, but I'd incorporate fills and higher/lower octaves as I felt like. Nobody threw their shoes at us and people seemed to have fun, so I guess it was ok ;)
