Wait, he's wearing a hat while playing the national anthem?  Even after the announcer said to remove hats (LOL)?  Serious faux pas, non?

As for his actual playing, I mostly liked it  - just not the few fuzzed out bits that seemed to kill the pacing and mood.

What a missed opportunity! If he had performed wearing only his sock, accompanied by Roseanne Barr doing the vocals, it would have been memorable.

I love Flea, but this was not good. Crap tone, poor wah technique. He seemed kind of unprepared too. When you're doing the national anthem at a major sporting event, you better be ON! I'm guessing he was trying to channel Hendrix, but it didn't really come out that way.  :-\

When Hendrix did it, it had been done. Later versions need not apply.

Well, the good news is, people will think twice about asking for a bass solo at a sporting event for  while :)

Maybe he landed an endorsement deal with a fuzz pedal builder.

Yeeesh! :o  Can we just go back to having high school choir groups do the national anthem?   For every "good" celebrity/offbeat version of the song there are 10 terrible ones.  I'd rather listen to slightly off-key kids.

If you like the sound of a 14-year-old kid trying out his new off-brand fuzz pedal, you'll love it. Otherwise, you're better off not listening.

I haven't checked but over on TB they're probably tsk-tsk-ing because he mixed a 1x15" and a 4x10".
