Naw it puts me off to see great artists wasted on TV. And he's so full of himself in that video "SO basically uhhhhhh you play it like this" *Flea tries to play the bass* "Yeah just like that"... Come on... If you're this wasted you just don't go on TV and make an ass of yourself, he can't even play his instrument hes so wasted. I really like his playing but seeing that video just saddens me... If he ever watches it hes going to regret it.

That said he did make me laugh, but he's not just drunk in that video, you have to be pretty high on not so pretty drugs to act this way. Nice example for the younger bassists out there who regard him as a "god" or as their "idol".

I think I laughed for every second of that.

Hilarious

Although when I saw the original vid for the first time my jaw was on the floor for most of the time

Flea is kinda arrogant from many clips ive seen of him. And yeah, I do realise this video is a remade 1.

I do like his music tho, but i dont lik him as a person

I actually thought it was real for the first 30 seconds, then I remembered how Flea's voice sounds...

Wait morph you thought it was real!? Yeah, it's a joke and it's hilarious!
If you didn't get it from the voice in the first 5 seconds I would have thought "So yeah back in the day I'd just listen to these musicians and jerk off... and so here's one right now" and then he starts playing all the ridiculous/hilarious stuff on the bass.

Oh and here's the real video
The real ones actually kinda funny too. Which was probably the inspiration for the ridiculous one which actually uses some similar quotes like "Popping and Slapping I think it's called"
