Bass solos are a spectrum. Typically somewhere within 20hz-20khz. Check your privilege.

Thank god for these comments.

as such, I am deeply offended by people dressing up in bass face.

Dont assume his being. Lmao

🤣🤣🤣

KalvinEllis i saw this comment just as he said that

"Being a bass solo myself..." - Flea

Flea is a really cool dude,seems like a great person too

The bass god and my hero flea

Puhaaaaaaa 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ohhhhhhhhhhh reallyyyy I thought he liked tool

She's 19 now and engaged lol

I thin ink he is turning her head so she can hear that her dads music is loved

Great dad metal star. Huge 💖 seeing that

You can see that towards the end of the speech, James seems to be thinking: "are you finished?", LOL.

Me too, especially when I saw James' face after he talked about Cliff. He clearly still misses his friend. Flea's such an amazing guy. He definitely couldn't have done this speech any better. Such a shame Cliff isn't with us anymore to sing more of his songs. Truly a big loss to the art world

drinkingpoolwater who's a better bassist Cliff or flea

Jericho Freman Let me try to stop another 'who's better' discussion here. Try to respect both completely different players the way they are/were for their own style, inginuity and soul instead of placing one above the other, like a simpleton. I'm not calling you a simpleton, but It's just that those discussions never end well, with all kinds of arguments that make no sense whatsoever about things like ones mother.. They are/were both amazing players. Personally, I love Flea because of his outstanding techniques, aggressive grooves and rhytms, popping and slapping and all that with the stamina of five horses and also his great sense of melody and ability to switch between the 'sensitive', melodical and more aggressive bass parts. I also think he's a great guy on a personal level. Cliff was very clever in his playing, because of his excellent sense of melody (he was a big Bach-fan, which you can clearly hear on various occasions) and because he was able to 'walk the thin line' while remaining a very tight player in the overall mix. His real talent was that he always knew in advance how his playing would sound in the mix, which is very important to be able form the right foundation for a nice, big wall of sound. His playing sounded very 'mature' that way. Not a real showoff as he would always just add the right amount of extracurricular notes and never really overdid those. He was very down to earth that way and had a very 'hands on' mentality to make Metallica sound the way they did back then, which was totally bitching and innovative! Also love his distorted 2 channel sound with a wah every now and then. Really suited Metallica's dark, powerful sound!

drinkingpoolwater exceptional musician too

I think Tom Morello inducting Kiss is the best induction in the history of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, personally.

ChernovFan100 i haven't seen it but the part that gets me is where he says the thing about cliff that thing about giving your gift before you die, it was a great way to end someone grief with that line, oh and i agree when he says that metallica are not the best musicians individual, but when put together they are the best metal band

ChernovFan100 I agree, I hope RATM gets into the RockHall in 2018, same with Iron Maiden

very good speech fle.....morello..thee greatest speech..ever..plus..we were born s me dy

ivan navi ABSOLUTELY AGREE

Werd...long live Cliff burton and Hillel Slovak

Mine were welling up to, cliff was the greatest

just cried. rip cliff. rock on!

I dont think his eyes welled up

uncle ruckus I agree. But it looked like Kirk was holding back as best he could from welling up.

STFU

@@chrissimpson6701 Umm, why?

Chris's speech was great. It was funny, because Chris Rock is a comedian(and a friend of the band for over 20 years). Flea is a deep music lover so he makes a speech talking about it that way.

Chris Simpson wow what a surprise you get triggered when someone says something about a black person

@Alex Brisinger Nothing to do with race, you idiot fuck!

Mike Newbold Internet tough guy yay. Go fuck yourself

Hellz ya Flea

@CathTheSting It was just Steven Tyler

Oscar Osuna it was Tyler and Perry.

Max Otto Jack Black did the speech for the Kennedy Center honors in 2012.

Henrik Høyrup If it weren't for Cliff there wouldn't be this Metallica. There will be a Metallica but not this one. He got them out of LA. Ron Govney is a good bass player but he didn't put Metallica on the map like Cliff did.

At Night 1 of their xXx Anniversary shows, when Rob started playing Anesthesia, James had to catch his breath and walked towards the back of the stage to take a minute, and wipe the tears from his face.

When he got the news that Cliff was gone, he destroyed a hotel room and threw a TV out of a window that night. Not out of the normal rock star "fun" but out of anger and sadness.

Devil'sAdvocate I’m pretty sure Cliff was pronounced dead at the scene. Am I wrong?

He was more than admired, he was like a brother to them. Whenever Cliff is even mentioned, you can see in James's eyes how much he misses him. So much so that its useless to describe it into words even. Cliff Burton lives forever in our hearts and memories.

Christophe Filippi agree

@Fred Tedason I think they know.

Fuck it, I discovered Metallica when I was 5 back in 2001 and I can assure you it was just so intense and so powerful that I just couldn't stop listening to them. One of, if not the best moment of my life.

I discovered metallica through the death magnetic release when I was 8 years old and that’s exactly what it was for me

Can't be truer and more sincere than that.

Charles Furie 11 now.

OCD Class fuck yea 100%

Did he actually tear up though?

had a period? I'm just saying that it appears in that number. Did i say that rhcp came up with that?

😂😂 good to see you here, love your content

Everywhere I look i see a comment by you and its amazing 😂😂

Guilherme Neis ive watched it like 50 times

I come back to this every now and then... Flea is clearly a fan and this isn't just some lip service. He goes off script on every other sentence just because he cannot contain himself with all the things he wants to say. He should have gone on for another 10 minutes...

Sagar Sunar a Nobel prize worthy

el.Zeah.TV agreed

Clifford Lee Burton

Cliff is the best bassist they ever had

Yup Got It Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins induction of Rush was just as awesome.

Tupac inducted by Snoop

Chris Rock inducting Red Hot Chili Peppers was pretty good

Unlikely

Yep when they grow some balls and induct IRON maiden

Chris Bassartist jajaja

Chris Bassartist that's why I love reading deep into the comments. Cuz somewhere someone is gonna throw a gem out like that. That was the comment of the year!!!! Well played 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeah good point lol, but flea didn't spit while saying it ha ha.

Dingle Barry are you an actual person

tania alarcon bob? Bob Cock ruined Metallica.

tania alarcon and dave man

Ruined Metallica? LOL He made them fucking millionaires! I'm sure Metallica will disagree with you on that one...

Where is Dave ??

@@neil9901 In Megadeth. Stop mentioning him.

Papa.Silver nice.

foogan you think you are funny?

Then you should watch Some Kind of Monster

Watch hetfield and lars induct black sabbath into the hall of fame. James choked up in his speech

sydIRISH part came up as soon as I read that lol

The tribute to Cliff could have been better,they should have shown video footage of his bass solos.

that cracked me up omg

yep.

I can't blame him for being a little flustered up there. And it's better than being a short drum intro :P

I'm not an expert english speaker, but could that be the short form for "bass soloist"?

+Beppe Manganello He meant to say bass player,but since he had just said bass solo he got a little tongue tied. no one would blame him

Naz mine are 1.Nirvana 2.Metallica 3.RHCP

I never thought Flea could make me cry, either. But when he said, "What's wrong McFly? Chicken?" That really got me.

priest 2..such shit. rappers get in before them

Maybe they have been asked to be inducted but denied

But you are forgetting about the misfits

Brayden Taylor It's a fucking tragedy that they haven't yet. But Green Day was?? I have nothing against Green Day and I like their old shit, but them getting in before Iron Maiden is a crime against humanity.

Brett Taylor the Rock and a Roll Hall of Fame is a joke. They inducted Madonna before Rush. Fucking Madonna

Badass mom

+J Co Their initial problem with Napster was that music they hadn't finished and weren't happy with was being shared outside of their control.

Craig Bonham Wow--I did not even know that. Thx. People are so f-ing misinformed.

+J Co They were still working on the song I Disappear and it was already on Napster.

Why the fuck are u talking about napster? Any hot takes on myspace?

Craig Bonham that explains it so much

Marcus - he always looks like that

Kirk always gets a little teary when Cliff is being discussed..I do too and I didn't even know him.

He's so cute, even if he is like 25 years older than me...
