Who said you could pick a bass apart with your bare hands, also if i threw my bass at a group of people you can bet heads would be rolling on the floor. Throwing an 11- 14 pound wooden instrument as big as a bass off a stage probably 4 feet off the main floor is as deadly as me throwing an oversized lightweight mallet off the same position to a group of people, flea is lucky he doesnt have my bass otherwise there would be a lawsuit
More like headlights dead at night. Running out of fuel means the car is totally dead and it can't do anything. The bass could work, but not not good for the job at hand, just like a car without headlights is good for the day, but useless at night.
@@brummms2862 Well, I was watching APerfect Circle about halfway to the stage from the back of the crowd. Suddenly, I was struck in the back of the head by a 180 pound flying object! It turns out that a group of jack asses in the back of the crowd decided that they would send crowd surfers to the stage from the back of the audience. The first one landed on me and gave me a mild concussion. So I, and everyone on the left side of the stage had to constantly look over our shoulders for the entire show... That day I lost hope for humanity... idiots
People weren't glued to a phone then. You'd call people and you would hang out with other humans and have conversations. If you said something stupid you'd get punched.
No my friend it was finally put together which has resulted in the red hot chili peppers reforming with john back as the guitarist as a result. It was only until all pieces were reunited that the rhcp could be reunited as one
Well, it’s pop music. The guy has never played a hard bass riff in his entire life, and he’s rich, so why would he actually care about his own trade? He just stands up there looking like a clown and people love it.
On Flea's DVD (Adventures in Spontaneous Jamming and Techniques), he talks about how the band couldn't afford any equipment when they first started out, he then goes on to say that once they were famous, people started giving them things for free. The more famous they got, the less they needed to spend.
I like that he was clearly pissed yet he stopped and gently tossed the bass into the crowd. Ya someone deff died trying to get it but nobody was wrecked by the bass itself lmao
No, flea tunes his bass up for songs. It gives him a unique way to fill the role of percussion, rythm and lead guitarist. It fits perfect with Chad's complex drum structures and John's unique cord progressions
you can look the story up, security was called in to retrieve the bass and it was then given back, the place where the concert was held had a huge liability with it in the crowd, someone could sue not only the band, but the venue and flea himself if someone was hurt fighting over it. just type it into google, it was something called a Weenie Roast that some radio station had in CA
@Hunter Edep Very similar to those people that only learn by ear and don’t bother to read music or learn any theory and look down on you like they are superior because they don’t know how to do music fairy 😂😂😂
Honestly a great way to make up for the stoppage and keep the energy hype. First time I've seen a famous group stop a song like that but thanks to Flea it was seemless and no fucks were given!
That is a Blue Coats nightmare! I was working security at a concert when Iggy Pop threw his Mic stand into the pit. I was tapped on the shoulder and told, go get it. We got most of the pieces. It was a bunch of metal bars at that point. Good times!
4 am, mountains in Bali.. listening ´Can´t stop` :) ..Teaching meditation at 5 am.. after it yoga class.. around 9 am going for a jogging at the mountain road.. with you guys.. with you !! Love you so much
So, correct me if I’m wrong, the other guy Malfoy is talking to realises the bass is out of tune, and John Travolta is angry because backstage takes too long to get him his other one so he gives it to the crowd?
Yeah except John Travolta is the guitarplayer. Its so cool he was both in Carrie, Blow Out and a bunch of other good movies AND also played in the chili peppers.
Bands don't give away guitars anymore because people turn into the seagulls from the movie Finding Nemo talking about "mine! mine! mine!" and if you happen to be the person that has friends to help get the other people off you still might as well just leave the concert and hide it in your trunk, if anyone else in comments has been to Mardi Gras in New Orleans you know how the masses of people around you can get when they see something valuable is about to be thrown.
@Mailroom Clerk And respect to the people who can't get a music instrumen easily. Flea even give aid to the youngs musician from the hood where he grew up
