As a bassplayer, I can honestly say, Flea isn't all that great. Actually, I've never saw him play something you need more than 2 years experience for.

Flea's a jazz player, too. Doesn't he play the trumpet? That's the makings of a REAL bassist right there - jazz training.

Nah, Fleas not that great. He's just one of the only mainstream slap bassists right now, so people love him because they think he's doing insane stuff.

Flea doesn't know anything about music theory or anything. He can't even read sheet music. But I will say that, he did get where he is today, by playing bass, so he's obviously something.

You know music theory and can read sheet music yet nobody knows who you are. Ironic, isn't it?

Bald man who has no taste in clothes and bass who is simply considered "good" because his band is worldwide famous and they sell millions. And because the other members aren't skilled enough to be "compared". So, he stands out.

He wouldn't be considered shit if he was in any other band.

rhcp is the shit
and flea, speaking from a professionals standpoint, is an amazing bassist. He has the ability to tap, slide and thumb slap like nobody else.

I can read sheet music and have studied music theory..I'm not famous...it is something you do if you want to become good at an insturment. Mostly lucky people slip by and become rockstars, when they got zero calssical talent. Just a guitar and some ambition..

That's not a good comparison at all. Not everyone who competes in the Special Olympics is retarded, and while we may hate our opposition, and they may often say the stupidest shit imaginable, nobody arguing on the internet is retarded.
Also, you used "your" when you meant "you're". Retard.

flea IS a masterful bass player. if you notice on stadium arcadium he barely does slapping. he quit doing because people started imitating it and it was just a flashy thing at that point. he is doing and has always been playing what needed to be played to make good music. what makes good music is playing what needs to play. unlike bands like dragon force who think its a good idea to hit twenty million notes in two seconds with no really rhythm.

ps. he also has great taste in clothes
