Chad and Flea are locked in together beyond belief - it's almost as if they can read each other's minds. This level of musicianship comes from years and years of playing together as a rhythm section.
Considering one is a bass player and the other is a drummer it's only natural. The drums and bass have more in common than a bass and lead guitar do. Since flea is big on funk and slap it would only make more sense that the two can vibe so well. Hes basically playing the drums with a bass guitar.
Flea is the biggest ever influence on me as a bassist and musician. I’m so grateful for the inspiration and direction he has given me for my whole life as a bassist so far, which started when I was 11.....and I’m now 36...so that’s 25 years. Thanks Flea.
This is why they're one of the most successful bands of all time. The amount of talent in the chili peppers is unreal. The rhythm section is insane and John's guitar magic slapped on top is a recipe for special things
Why don't they make an album like this? They could make it kind of like a jazz album in the sense that they would just explore different catchy ideas while jamming and choose the best recordings! I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Honestly, I'd be more excited about that than their next album with RHCP.
Coltrane Cat if you haven't seen it yet you should look up chad smith Russia jam, Chad ,Flea,John and josh just jamming! Could be similar to what you're after!
I just love how well these two work together, out of the whole chilli peppers group Michael and chad are the ones that really seem to have natural chemistry to me.
John is pretty soulful too, as is Anthony. I'd say Flea and Chad are the heart of the band. Cause a heart has beats right? Actually you could say John and Anthony sold their souls at one time or another lol. All figurative bullshit of course...
They were five feet away from Flea and Chad Smith Jamming. Give them a break for filming their last glorious moments on earth before they were vaporized by the awesomeness.
The world has its great pairings, Abbot & Costello, Laurel & Hardy, Donnie & Marie, Sonny & Cher, R2D2 & C3P0, Starsky & Hutch, Beavis & Butthead, Bert & Ernie, Batman & Robin, Siegfried & Roy, Penn & Teller, Lennon & McCartney, Fred & Barney, The Captain & Tennille, and now finally added to this prestigious list, the great Flea & Chad.
in Anthony Kiedis is biography scar tissue he said that Chad Smith came out to LA to be an actor being a drummer was his second thing when he tried out for the band flea was used to carrying all the people that were trying out and losing them actually when Chad started playing flea said he actually started losing him and flee was trying to keep up a little rhcp history lesson they're both awesome
My series of thoughts: Drummer looks like Ferrell. Lets post a funny comment about that fact. Hmm, lets just scroll down and see if anyone else did yet though. Yea, lets just watch the video...
Would've been really cool if he continued his line of basses. Could have featured artists and payment plans for student instruments and other such things.
dude ur so right.. it was hella crowded i was seeing them through my camara screen because everyone blocked my view from holding their camaras up so high... so all u people are lucky :)
Saw them at the Joe a week ago, best concert ever. Chad gave an emotional thanks and sendoff to Nicklas Lidstrom, and then they brought him on stage. It was an amazing show.
Let's be practical. Flea may not be one of the best bassists of all time (that's a bit of an extreme statement), but you have to admit he is great in the context of his band (a kick ass band). On top of that he's just a wild fuck performer and that's half of the hype right?
It's almost as if they've played together before.
Lol
dont be ridiculous.
Yeah they should make a band
Have you guys heard about this Frusciante fellow? He seems like a great addition to the group.
JuanDanny I was also thinking about that Kiedis guy. I forgot what band he was in that made him famous, but he will be a great addition to the group.
Chad and Flea are locked in together beyond belief - it's almost as if they can read each other's minds. This level of musicianship comes from years and years of playing together as a rhythm section.
wow you're edgy asf lol
ach, the 3dge
Trevor I agree with you. I was thinking of the same exact thing while watching the video.
Ryan G how is he edgy??

Thanks Flea.
Same here man, i listen to flea when I'm 11, now 33 still do
Chads one of my biggest influences in drumming
@@robmeklosky1733 I've officially become obsessed 🤣
As much as i love Flea and Bass ,Chad Smith really killing the set, absolutely beast
He’s a great drummer
You're right I love Chad
I find him overrated
started a bass player and from there it gave me an idea of rhythm and eventually i just moved onto drums
@@robinhoodwasasocialist.1401 absolutely only the real ones will know and appreciate him
Amazing how Chad breaks into jazz at 6:45. Had no idea he could do that. May be one of the greatest drummers alive?
And so Flea matches him by playing a walking part.
This is why they're one of the most successful bands of all time. The amount of talent in the chili peppers is unreal. The rhythm section is insane and John's guitar magic slapped on top is a recipe for special things
Flea and chad make this world so much better just with their jam sessions🤘
10/10 would throw $2 in the hat
They prolly say u need it more

is that something we could buy or what? Please share a link or explain where I may get/check this out. I looked and didn't see anything... thanks!
+neofilm I'm just saying it might be a good idea, and that if it did exist I would buy it. I wish I could provide a link, as I'd buy it too! :)
zackattack94 Yeah you're right, I am a total idiot. And jazz sucks.
Jazz and RHCP colliding in the same sentence. Comical.
6:08 when Chad hits Flea haha
I think he hit his non-existing China
No he means the background lol
🤯 ...It’s an expression for when an Artist is feeling another. Chad “hits” fleas soul w/ the groove/feels & Flea takes off! 🚀
@@gurbo7090 yes probably.
@@PalkoChris he literally hits him Mr Slow
I just love how well these two work together, out of the whole chilli peppers group Michael and chad are the ones that really seem to have natural chemistry to me.
Fantastic Mr. Fox was an awesome movie...
Rhythm sections gotta be air-tight eh, I'd say John and Flea had some amazing chemistry too, when John wasn't going off on a guitar tangent
Nw.Caffers First time I see someone refer to him as Michael. Flea is catchier.
Michael 💀 shut up
These two guys are the soul of the RHCP.
I'd have to say the whole band is the soul of that group, it's a sum is greater than the parts thing
The engine.
Rythm sections can be like that...
John is pretty soulful too, as is Anthony. I'd say Flea and Chad are the heart of the band. Cause a heart has beats right? Actually you could say John and Anthony sold their souls at one time or another lol. All figurative bullshit of course...
Anthony is the soul. Chad the heart .flea the head. And john the sexe.
0:57 - 01:19 this is one of my most favorite bass lines by Flea I've ever heard
Almost sounds like hes quoting a night in tunisia there
Chad giving props to Flea w/o knowing he's one of the best drummers that has existed.
Woody Harrelson & Will Ferrel Strike Back
Ha! Have you seen the Beastie Boys skit/ tribiute with Ferrel & Co? Its great.
One skinny ass Woody lol
*niko bellic & will ferrell
10 years past meth, and cocaine Woody Harrelson
Ha_haaah!
Observe, people. Four strings, two toms, three cymbals, one bass drum. No fancy kit needed, just skill.
They were five feet away from Flea and Chad Smith Jamming. Give them a break for filming their last glorious moments on earth before they were vaporized by the awesomeness.
In every red hot chilli pepper video there's always one who goes " ha it's will ferrel on drums! "
Ha it’s will ferrel on the drums!
Ha! Its will Ferrel on drums!
Basic bitches making basic jokes.
Flea makes love to the bass and Chad is a beast with impeccable feel
Captain Obvious reporting here - my fucking lord is Chad a tasteful, funky, sick ass drummer.
That synergy alone can write albums upon albums
Fake, that guy's wearing a shirt.
good point.
Peppers have one of the best line-ups a band can ask for.
Fleabass looks like hybrid between Musicman and Modulus
Kinda...Love it either way...lime/pink..you bet.👍💕🎶🤘
Not even close.
This is an example as to why chad is my favorite drummer he knows how to incorporate the whole drum kit in just one “song”
The flea bass the bass that flea never used in his entire carreer
love his bass finish
The world has its great pairings, Abbot & Costello, Laurel & Hardy, Donnie & Marie, Sonny & Cher, R2D2 & C3P0, Starsky & Hutch, Beavis & Butthead, Bert & Ernie, Batman & Robin, Siegfried & Roy, Penn & Teller, Lennon & McCartney, Fred & Barney, The Captain & Tennille, and now finally added to this prestigious list, the great Flea & Chad.
i can listen hours and hours to this
Easily one of my most favorite musicians. Not to mention. " DAD ITS NEEDLES"
The fact that people care more about the similar look Chad has to Will more than the jam itself is sad.
Django Fett....if thats not will ferrell then who is it?
its amazing that they still jam like this after so many years. if u read anthony's book, scar tissue, u know that this is how they met.
in Anthony Kiedis is biography scar tissue he said that Chad Smith came out to LA to be an actor being a drummer was his second thing when he tried out for the band flea was used to carrying all the people that were trying out and losing them actually when Chad started playing flea said he actually started losing him and flee was trying to keep up a little rhcp history lesson they're both awesome
what a treat
His mother and father must be proud that their beloved son is a reliable male bassist
I like how at 5:24 they r yelling for people to clear out, and no one moves,lol.
'Everybody out lets go'
Nah we're cool we'll stay here thanks.
5:47 that long haired dude looks like he's holding a gun in his pocket against Chad :D
+Sakari Nieminen There's a few dudes hanging around there that look like serial killers...
no bro i think you are seeing his bulge hahahaha
It’s his erection he got from this jam
Amazing C&F
There you have it. One of the best drummer and bassist in the world together. These guys are fucking legends
Now that’s a serious sesh !!!
My man
I needed that today......bassheadz
This! This! Is greatness both! Greatness
I love how he quotes jazz standards so much
I love that response
Some of the best playing ive heard from both of them
Such energy cannot be contained to such a small stage
Great communication between these guys
the entire time my eyes where half open, my head was bobbing to the jam and a big ole grim was on my face,...
dam that was awesome!
Wow, thank you to everybody who made this video happen! thank you thank you thank you thank you!
2:15 Frusciante's guitar tech behind Chad
the real dynamic duo
My series of thoughts:
Drummer looks like Ferrell.
Lets post a funny comment about that fact.
Hmm, lets just scroll down and see if anyone else did yet though.
Yea, lets just watch the video...
yeah.... those rhcp boyz are unique in making sound and playing together...
this vid never gets old.
Would've been really cool if he continued his line of basses. Could have featured artists and payment plans for student instruments and other such things.
dude ur so right.. it was hella crowded
i was seeing them through my camara screen because everyone blocked my view from holding their camaras up so high...
so all u people are lucky :)
Yup
who else heard Flea quote Charlie Parker's Billies Bounce?
Saw them at the Joe a week ago, best concert ever. Chad gave an emotional thanks and sendoff to Nicklas Lidstrom, and then they brought him on stage. It was an amazing show.
I swear the highest quality video I’ve seen come from 2010 XD
awesome !
god damnit. how do these people not smile??? even watching the superbowl halftime show my face almost ripped appart! i love RHCP!
my heart was ripped when i found out they weren't really playing... :( they had a backtrack
Samuel Goodall The sound for the halftime show at the Superbowl was pre-recorded.
holly shit!! will ferrel playing the drums! lmao
I was thinking the same exact thing.
LEGENDS!!!!!
Magical.
THIS IS one of the coolest videos I've ever seen on youtubs!!! simply AWESOME!!! thanks man for sharing, and in such a good quality.
UGHH THIS IS SO RAD!!
This is the soundtrack to now.
flea youre the best man i love you
They live and die for the music. Fuckin' Genius !!!

Will ferrel is a good drummer
+Skate HQ HAHAHAHAHAHAHA so original
+Sheen still funny i think
+Sheen shut yo punk ass up

chad is awesome
When you cant hear the bass but remember your not listening through your head phones.
Best rhytym ever
Dude..... if they were any more BOSS, I have no idea what would happen
Chad Smith è incredibile...
happy 53rd Flea!
It’s good to see needles and Will Ferrel jamming together 😂
Will Farrell is pretty good on the drums!
lol, that joke never gets old with me.
The BEST in the WORLD! Without a doubt. . .
Totally!!!
Dos Bestias con mis dos instrumentos más amados. Lindísimo.
These guys should be in a band together
The thumbnail for this video tripped me out. I was like "Two fleas? Waaaah?"
they're pretty good. They should be in a band
Let's be practical. Flea may not be one of the best bassists of all time (that's a bit of an extreme statement), but you have to admit he is great in the context of his band (a kick ass band). On top of that he's just a wild fuck performer and that's half of the hype right?
He is one of the best off al time. The most solo bassist like for example victor wooten suck in a band. But great bassist
willemm1998 that victor sucks ina band??? Ok mate... listen to an album called "Extraction" by wooten, howe, chambers. Then try again
willemm1998 Have you heard Bella Fleck and the Flecktones?
He is one of the greatest
He might well be in the top 15
00:48 it´s Dave Lee, John´s Guitartech
Flea e Chad sem duvidas é a melhor cozinha do mundo...^^
FUCK YES!!
💓Лучшая презентация бас 🎸гитары🔥
Cool. I didn’t know flea could play bass!
They're just so fucking good, honestly
Those 2 are tighter than 2 Coats of paint!!
POSSESSED BOTH OF THEM !!
lol spinning my head like that I would've faceplant on the drums after 5 min hahaha 👍👍😄💀
yeah maaaaaan :)
Flea and Chad are definately the best of the peppers.
This Jam Session needs a banner behind them, letting us know that they're from California. ;)
