Good, but overrated. He slaps and pops really fast but does nothing interesting on the neck.

Sometimes less is more if done with speed and precision. What's interesting is the percussion of the playing.

Flea ia an amazing bassist although I dont like RHCP. I prefer Victor Wooten, Geddy Lee, and John Myung

I see you're back to being a doofus.

There is nothing overrated about Flea. In fact, he's probably underrated.

Yea, that about sums it up for me too.

Agree with Eyesore on both points.

Ive REALLY got to start paying more attention to thread titles. Because I saw that and said "Huh? Flea had something to do with Rocky Horror?"

With that being said though, he is a great bass player.

No, that would be the other ailment I suffer from:

Ive always called it CRS, but its good to know we're in the same boat, stick us and our collections in the same retirement home, and itll be one badass mess.

Yeah, I'm not denying that. I just don't think that he's the god that people make him out to be.

No one said anything about being a God. I just said he is good.

You'd be surprised. There's a lot of people who worship the dude.....of course I probably shouldn't talk, being quite the Claypool smurf-for-hire myself.

Flea has a lot of fanboy fans as does John Frusciante from RHCP. The Peppers are a huge rock band and that comes with the territory. I think FLEA really sticks out and writes some very memorable bass lines. The few RHCP songs I like are because of Fleas basslines.

Like the one in Give It Away, that sticks in your head.
