    Flea has turned from a young and crazy talented man into a loving and sensitive gentlemen. His openness in expressing the impact of J-Dilla's music is moving (I could see Questlove watching this and crying as well). Add to the fact that after 30's years of being a highly successful musician he goes back to school to continue his growth. Unbelievably inspiring. My respect for Flea has no bounds.

      Theres a video of him giving tips on the bass, and the most important tip, according to him is to take a compassionate approach to it, so the bass embraces the rest of the band. As a bassist myself I had never thought of it that way, but he's dead right. The bass is a support instrument, its like a stage for the other instruments to dance on. Wise words.

      @@shayneoneill1506 You are being far too formulaic here. Different music requires different dynamics. In a lot of extreme metal the bass is only there to add a bottom to the other instruments (Slayer) and to lock in with the drums while with say MINGUS or Funk (see Bootsie Collins) the opposite is true with the bass being the melodic driver. I should know as I am a multi instrumentalist and composer myself. Some pieces written on keyboards, some acoustic guitar, some bass others Jams. Yes music first but the rules depend on what you want to do!

      I've found that out of most Hip-Hop fans it's a minority that fairly praise him, and the majority of those haven't heard his beat tapes, which is where his diversity, originality and skill is mostly found. Since a lot of his best work is unreleased and his discography has recently been cluttered with sub-par posthumous releases, no wonder he is under-appreciated.
      It's getting better recently because of high praise from artists like Flea, Dr. Dre and Kanye, because of them more people are starting to notice Dilla's genius instead of writing it off as dusty hipster music.

    • @RayasNegroOvejas
      @RayasNegroOvejas 8 років тому

      Pady bu Hm, yes, I maybe don't know how it is overall. I guess the hip hop I listen to is often people that knew him, like Q-tip, Questlove... and that's maybe why I think that - even though I often read comments on videos saying he's the best producer.

      2 IN BAND ARRESTED AFTER ATTACKING FAN
      Shirish Date Of The Sentinel Staff
      THE ORLANDO SENTINEL
      Privacy Policy
      True to their name, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were hot - so hot that they trashed their stage, then jumped into the crowd to manhandle a bikini-clad woman during an MTV taping on the beach.
      Police weren't amused.
      Neither was MTV, which threw the band off the set. And neither was the 20-year-old Virginia woman, who filed charges against two band members.
      Defenders of the Red Hot Chili Peppers say Wednesday afternoon's episode at an MTV taping was just part of its image, which sometimes includes taking the stage wearing nothing more than strategically placed socks or diapers.
      Maybe. But early Friday morning, the Volusia County Beach Rangers decided that arresting bass guitarist Flea and drummer Chad Smith and charging them with lascivious behavior, battery and disorderly conduct were part of the rangers' image.
      "I'm not going to put up with it," said Ranger Chief Jon Kirvan, hours after arresting half the band's members about 1 a.m. Friday after a concert at the Marriott Hotel. "That could be your daughter."
      Wednesday's melee took place during MTV's taping for its Club MTV dance program. The band was lip-syncing the song "Knock Me Down" when Flea - whose real name is Michael Balzary - started banging his bass guitar against Chad Smith's drum kit, according to police, who seemed to have a tough time making sense of the punk band's show.
      "At the end of a set, the band members started jumping around on stage, pushing microphones to the stage floor, swinging instruments around, knocking over the drums and making a comment about the police that was not fully heard by this writer," wrote Daytona police Sgt. Robert Grim.
      "One of the band members with a shaved-type head with a multicolored bush of hair centered on top of his head picked up a white female victim, placing her over his shoulders," Grim wrote.
      Smith joined Flea, and pulled the woman's bathing suit bottom partially off and started slapping her buttocks, according to Beach Ranger Guy Grasso's report.
      At that point, the woman fell to the sand, only to have Flea kneel atop her, start grabbing at her, and demand that she perform oral sex on him, Grasso's report said.
      -MTV security pulled Flea off and escorted him and Smith off property of the Texan Motel, MTV's base during spring break.
      Kirvan said h-is officers talked to the woman Thursday and got arrest warrants Thursday night from Circuit Judge Robert Miller.
      "Last night after their performance - if you want to call it that - we served the warrants and arrested them," Kirvan said. "If somebody assaults somebody, we're going to do something."
      Flea, 26, was charged with battery, disorderly conduct and solicitation to commit an unnatural and lascivious act and released on $2,000 bail. Smith, 28, was charged with battery and released on $1,000 bail. All the charges are misdemeanors.
      Neither Flea nor Smith could be reached for comment Friday.
      The woman declined comment.

      Two members of Red Hot Chili Peppers arrested
      (0)
      DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Two members of the rock 'n' roll band Red Hot Chili Peppers have been arrested on charges they leaped from the stage during a spring break performance and attacked a woman in the audience.
      Bass guitarist Michael Balzary, known by the stage name 'Flea,' was charged with battery, disorderly conduct and solicitation to commit an unnatural and lascivious act, authorities said.
      Drummer Chad Smith, 28, was charged with battery.
      The Los Angeles men were arrested at a Daytona Beach hotel about 12:45 a.m. Friday, booked, then released on bond, Volusia County beach ranger Guy Grasso said.
      Authorities said the woman was bruised and shaken.
      'I think she sustained the injuries by trying to fight them off, when she was slammed to the ground by one of them. The other bruise she sustained to her leg when the other member tried to rip off her bathing suit,' said beach ranger Sgt. Ray Caruso.
      The four-man Los Angeles band, best known for its 1989 album 'Mother's Milk,' was performing on the beach before a spring break crowd and for MTV cameras Wednesday when band members 'became wild on stage' and began 'beating up' their equipment, Grasso said. Then, Balzary and Smith jumped into the crowd.
      Balzary picked up the woman and began to spin her around on his shoulders, while Smith pulled her bathing suit to one side and began to slap her bottom, Grasso said.
      Officials said Balzary got on top of the woman, asked her to perform a sex act, then began to simulate the act.
      After the woman cried for help, the band was escorted away. The woman apparently was picked from the audience at random and has signed a complaint against the band members, Grasso said.
      Tina Exarhos, an MTV spokeswoman, said the performance would be aired this weekend on the cable channel, but the off-stage incident would be edited out.

      2 IN BAND ARRESTED AFTER ATTACKING FAN
      Shirish Date Of The Sentinel Staff
      THE ORLANDO SENTINEL
      Privacy Policy
      True to their name, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were hot - so hot that they trashed their stage, then jumped into the crowd to manhandle a bikini-clad woman during an MTV taping on the beach.
      Police weren't amused.
      Neither was MTV, which threw the band off the set. And neither was the 20-year-old Virginia woman, who filed charges against two band members.
      Defenders of the Red Hot Chili Peppers say Wednesday afternoon's episode at an MTV taping was just part of its image, which sometimes includes taking the stage wearing nothing more than strategically placed socks or diapers.
      Maybe. But early Friday morning, the Volusia County Beach Rangers decided that arresting bass guitarist Flea and drummer Chad Smith and charging them with lascivious behavior, battery and disorderly conduct were part of the rangers' image.
      "I'm not going to put up with it," said Ranger Chief Jon Kirvan, hours after arresting half the band's members about 1 a.m. Friday after a concert at the Marriott Hotel. "That could be your daughter."
      Wednesday's melee took place during MTV's taping for its Club MTV dance program. The band was lip-syncing the song "Knock Me Down" when Flea - whose real name is Michael Balzary - started banging his bass guitar against Chad Smith's drum kit, according to police, who seemed to have a tough time making sense of the punk band's show.
      "At the end of a set, the band members started jumping around on stage, pushing microphones to the stage floor, swinging instruments around, knocking over the drums and making a comment about the police that was not fully heard by this writer," wrote Daytona police Sgt. Robert Grim.
      "One of the band members with a shaved-type head with a multicolored bush of hair centered on top of his head picked up a white female victim, placing her over his shoulders," Grim wrote.
      Smith joined Flea, and pulled the woman's bathing suit bottom partially off and started slapping her buttocks, according to Beach Ranger Guy Grasso's report.
      At that point, the woman fell to the sand, only to have Flea kneel atop her, start grabbing at her, and demand that she perform oral sex on him, Grasso's report said.
      MTV security pulled Flea off and escorted him and Smith off property of the Texan Motel, MTV's base during spring break.
      Kirvan said his officers talked to the woman Thursday and got arrest warrants Thursday night from Circuit Judge Robert Miller.
      "Last night after their performance - if you want to call it that - we served the warrants and arrested them," Kirvan said. "If somebody assaults somebody, we're going to do something."
      Flea, 26, was charged with battery, disorderly conduct and solicitation to commit an unnatural and lascivious act and released on $2,000 bail. Smith, 28, was charged with battery and released on $1,000 bail. All the charges are misdemeanors.
      Neither Flea nor Smith could be reached for comment Friday.
      The woman declined comment.

    Flea tearing up over Dilla was a very cool genuine moment. One of the many awesome things about music is its ability to really make people feel an intense range of emotions when done well.
    And he's dead on about the greatness of "Kind of Blue."

      MARCH 17, 1990
      Two members of Red Hot Chili Peppers arrested
      (0)
      DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Two members of the rock 'n' roll band Red Hot Chili Peppers have been arrested on charges they leaped from the stage during a spring break performance and attacked a woman in the audience.
      Bass guitarist Michael Balzary, known by the stage name 'Flea,' was charged with battery, disorderly conduct and solicitation to commit an unnatural and lascivious act, authorities said.
      Drummer Chad Smith, 28, was charged with battery.
      The Los Angeles men were arrested at a Daytona Beach hotel about 12:45 a.m. Friday, booked, then released on bond, Volusia County beach ranger Guy Grasso said.
      Authorities said the woman was bruised and shaken.
      'I think she sustained the injuries by trying to fight them off, when she was slammed to the ground by one of them. The other bruise she sustained to her leg when the other member tried to rip off her bathing suit,' said beach ranger Sgt. Ray Caruso.
      The four-man Los Angeles band, best known for its 1989 album 'Mother's Milk,' was performing on the beach before a spring break crowd and for MTV cameras Wednesday when band members 'became wild on stage' and began 'beating up' their equipment, Grasso said. Then, Balzary and Smith jumped into the crowd.
      Balzary picked up the woman and began to spin her around on his shoulders, while Smith pulled her bathing suit to one side and began to slap her bottom, Grasso said.
      Officials said Balzary got on top of the woman, asked her to perform a sex act, then began to simulate the act.
      After the woman cried for help, the band was escorted away. The woman apparently was picked from the audience at random and has signed a complaint against the band members, Grasso said.
      Tina Exarhos, an MTV spokeswoman, said the performance would be aired this weekend on the cable channel, but the off-stage incident would be edited out.

    OMG!!!! @8:16 When I was 6 years old my favorite movie was also "War Of The Gargantuas" for several years & I still enjoy watching it. I also loved all the Godzilla movies, Creature Double Feature & even "The Ghoul" who sort of hosted these monster movies and did goofy skits in between commercials, etc... Starting at the age of 4 and 5 in the years 1970 & 1971 my parents always let me stay up late and fall asleep on the couch every Friday & Saturday night as most of these movies usually did not start until 10:00PM-11:00PM and they usually played two movies back to back. My parents gave me the sobriquet "Night Owl" when I was 2 years old and to this day I am still usually awake until several hours after midnight. When I got older I used this late night time alone to teach myself how to play guitar. I still have such fond memories of watching movies such as "War Of The Gargantuas", Godzilla movies & any other monster type movie I could watch. Thanks for such a wonderful trip down memory lane. That is si cool that Amy-Jo Albany's favorite movie when she was a kid is also my favorite movie from that time period as well.

    These capsules are obviously about more than just music, they're about culture. I, myself, am ALWAYS hungry for more, and it's so nice to see all those artists who are still so into it too.. They sound like children sharing their treasures in front of a camera. No ego, lots of very interesting commentaries, and all those astounding surprises about their personal taste and roots. You won't find this level of cultural curiosity among the main stream performers, otherwise I don't think they could go on performing such crap. Anyways, take care everyone out there ! Long live music.
