What you said about … What you said about punk is so true. I just did a gig a Kimo’s in San Francisco, and it was the closest I’ve ever got to the pit. The bass amp was tits(belong to another band…hartke). But just, they were playing Rancid in between bands, and you just wanted to sk8. Until that night, I truely didn’t get punk at all. Thanks for talking it up.
flea truly changed … flea truly changed rock with his amazing slapping, it was bassicly just driving before and very few rock musicians slapped freguently
stop arguing with … stop arguing with stevensteel, We should work as a team to eliminate tune up and basshunter and club . Punk and metal are all semi-related types
Dude. All types of … Dude. All types of music changed music forever. Funk. Rock. Heavy Metal. Punk. Hard Rock. Classic Rock. Psychedelic Rock. Acoustic. A lot of changed music just because u dont like dosn’t mean it didnt. R tard.
Overall I agree … Overall I agree with what you’ve said. Cliff was an advanced bass player for the time he lived in, and I’m positive now 20+ years after his death he would have honed his skills, advanced his techniques and helped pave the way for a bigger role of bassists in bands.
I really disagreed … I really disagreed with Cliff Burton been a god. He was a average-skilled bass player with technique limitations. On the other hand, Cliff really shines on his composition. He was a more of a composer than a bass player. The orchestration that you mention is very good but that only shows his great composition ability and not his bass technique.
Cliff Burton was a … Cliff Burton was a god. Have you heard the orchestral version of Orion? Go take a look, its epic. It proves that Cliffs music doesn’t need distortion to sound ic. Punk is just noise and talentless vocals thrown together. The only way punk changed music was by influencing Cliff, the Misfits being his favorite band. Consider yourself educated..
The only one with … The only one with musical talent? All have talent, but aren’t you forgetting John Frusciante especially when you say stuff like that?
… hahahahahahahahahahahahha Cliff Burton was nothing with out his distortion effects…. and punk is my favorite type of music … u got a ing problem with that?? are u telling me that heavy y metal is better than previous punk groups… punk changed music forever… u know all man!!!!!!!! come back when u have been educated!!!!
Cliff Burton is one … Cliff Burton is one the best bassists to have ever walked on this earth. And you’re one to talk about music theory, since on your profile you have Punk as your style….
ur one of these lil … ur one of these lil guys that like to slag everything arent u… then dont watch a flea video if u dont like him.. doesnt that make sense? and its hardly about the slap and pop… he plays just as much fingerstyle as he does slap… if not more… he knows no theory.. self taught and inspired millions of young kids to just do it! so away and listen to your bullshit grunge metal or what ever makes u feel mature! and leave a comment on that!
pfft, everyone … pfft, everyone think’s Flea’s the greatest just becuase he can play ‘slap and pop’. gawd, even Fieldy from Korn does a better job at that!
well i suppose it’s easy for people to regard his as talented, considering he’s the only member of RHCP with any musical talent!
