| | |  FLEA-Best bass player ever???
Sign in to disble this ad
Now i know it is completely down to personal taste and the music you like but there is a row going on within my friends and collegues that you lot could help solve! Is Flea the best bass player ever or is that just the opinion of those who like RHCP? He is amazing.... no doubt but is the fact he has formed his own uniquely different style enough for him to be crowned?
Help! |

| | | | I'd say that's purely personal taste.
I would not have an answer to the question as to who may be the best bassist ever.
Flea would not be on my personal list of candidates.
When I think of "best" I ask ... "Can he do things no one else can?".
I have not heard anything he has done the merit of which would bring me to answer this question with " yes".
Regardless of taste.
He's great at being flea though!!

Sure, there's gonna be those who agree.
There's gonna be those who disagree.
There's gonna be those who disagree, but respect your pov.
There's gonna be those who will argue for the sake of arguement.
In the end, it's all just  |

| | | | Hes the best bass player to the average person who can't name 1 other bassist in general besides him.

Help! | Having read a few interviews I don't think the man himself would be happy with this kind of thing - he has mentioned recently that he has started to study Jazz and has had lessons to improve himself..  http://www.musicradar.com/news/guita...y-music-175834

That's pretty crazy, and you are right.

He's the best Flea that has ever lived, yes. Best bassist, I don't know... you'll have to define best. |

Now go practice!

| | | Flea is popular, but i happen to prefer john myung and billy sheehan.. probably because im a metal fan |

| | | | Flea isn't even in the ball park. Check out Higher Ground by RCHP and compare it to the version of Higher Ground by Marcus Miller. Flea makes time and rhythm mistakes left right and center.
Now go practice... |

| | |  Flea said it himself Sid Vicious is the greatest bass player that ever lived.
