Marcus Miller - Higher Ground

Marcus Miller in Kiev Nov'15-2007

[@wtsutton]

Marcus' drummer, Poogie Bell, is the freaking man. I have a show coming up at the Hard Rock Cafe in Pittsburgh on March 2nd and Poogie is our drummer for it. I saw him play in person for the first time back in September and his energy amazed me. And the dude just doesn't stop smiling.

[@wakomaniac45]

we should all remember that unless we can do better and i bet 99.99999999999999999999% of us cannot......... we should not judge....... especially music as it brings universal joy to everyone who lays ears upon it

[@funkymonk816]

I this RHCP version and this one are both really good, both different but both great.

[@AlexeyHermann]

Bomba ! Ja ne popal na konzert , no hot tak zacenu chto tam bilo !

[@kalduramare]

super bravo !!!!!!!!!!!

[@CherryConcrete]

@rysterryn flea is a rock/punk rock bassist who happens to like funk. I watched an interview with him like a week ago where he said that he likes funk, but he wants to take something funky and turn it into a punk rock sound. And Marcus has his very own style that his fans are able to recognize right away. And I love it

[@srv85]

nice video! great performance by marcus (as usual)

[@rysterryn]

just to end the controversy, marcus miller is a jazz funk bassist and flea is funk rock

[@DWDave67]

Marcus Miller is a bad man... Both Marcus and the Chili Peppers do Stevie proud in their interpretations

[@museuafans]

Супер! Спасибо большое за видео :)

[@FrankRuffolo65]

please ppl - they both !@#$'n groove ..!!

[@CherryConcrete]

@rysterryn I agree. Also for your information, there is a song by Victor Wooten, called Bass Tribute. You might wanna check it out and listen closely. Basically Vic lists all the best bassists in the world and gives a brief example of their style afterwards. Its great, you'll love it.

[@omko73]

Harmonica was a nice touch

[@chewyflea]

You dont need any credentials when you can sell out any concert hall anywhere on earth...the chilli peppers are as big as it gets and Flea is a badass bassist

[@rysterryn]

@CherryConcrete I agree, and i love both musicians. They have similar but different styles. And just to notify you, this comment is two years old.

[@bassico13]

Totally agree with Gazzam125

[@EliYBY]

Gosh, that drummer is a beast. Mr. Miller isn't bad himself, but one thing I'll criticize is that solo he started at around 6:00. I think we've all seen better.

[@Tulkaspl]

thanks man! cheers =)

[@lampshade1120]

@EliYBY i have to agree, it was weird even before i saw your comment i was like 'holy shit! i think he actually made a mistake...' he redeemed himself with a really strong finish tho. gotta love the guy its like he realized he could do better and so really made it count at the end ! :)

[@laelo1]

wundebar...

[@rysterryn]

@CherryConcrete Its perfectly valid. and still true. i didnt insult either artist, simply accented the basics of their style and stated it.

[@bislibamba]

Im all confused now. I guess no one own any song or piece when it comes to music. BTW awesome version!

[@mjriley2994]

i like the original higher ground betta

[@cursedswordsman]

@Ba55taztic Yep.

[@bassgodz]

Well for me I like them both,but the Original Stevie Wonder version is the best!!

[@CherryConcrete]

@rysterryn I know, but that doesn't make the comment invalid

[@R0b1zzle137]

just to end the controversy, marcus miller > flea

[@leonoff89]

nice cover of the rhcp song flea would've been very proud i bet

[@abeahmed2581]

Inna Leonoff Higher ground is by Stevie Wonder

[@shroomiedoll]

Even though I'm a bass player, I'm bothered by not being able to see the other players while they are soloing...

[@Vanamutt]

Saying that you can't criticize unless you can do better is stupid.

[@crayZtaco7]

@DancingSpiderman you called him Clay Cesspool......? am i missing something???

[@DancingSpiderman]

@crayZtaco7 no because he's badass are you mocking ME?!?

[@kl201f]

@leonoff89 hey man you're missing out this a Jackson's 5 song

[@IcelandicOption]

who's the sax maschine !?!

[@kl201f]

@zdude19942000 it a stevie song period.

[@Mr00Miko]

@AlpineNInfinity ... easy folks ... it's music .. it not yours or mine ... its ours to enjoy or not. As for the musicians .. well mentioning flea in the same sentence with Marcus is ... lemme see, how can I put this so most of you will get it ... ummm ... lol ... kinda like remaining silent and being thought a fool vs. speaking up and removing all doubt. Don't get me wrong, Flea and his band RHCP are extremely talented and successful musician/performers. Enjoy who you will .. but keep it real

[@noahster1234]

@chewyflea well thats a bad way of judging... justin bieber could sell out nearly any massive concert hall too.... think before ya speak

[@sergiobassbajobelizan]

marcus soy ezequiel cuanto pedis por el bajo

[@chewyflea]

@noahster1234 Yea...But the Chilli's are badass

[@lousehr]

Like er at least Marcus Milller was around in the 70's playing and hanging with Stevie while Red Hot Chill Peppers weren't even born. THE 70'S WAS MARCUS MILLER'S YEARS,SO WHO IS COPYING WHO NOW?

[@crayZtaco7]

@DancingSpiderman are you mocking les claypool?

[@WG15796]

@leonoff89 These Flea fanboys make me sad deep within my heart when I see their "Know it all yet getting it completely wrong" comments on every single bass video on youtube.

[@DancingSpiderman]

@crayZtaco7 i gree Clay Cesspool is badass

[@micktomazou]

@RTMGreenBob ..are you sure??it's all greek to me..

[@BLEZGYI]

why comparing flea to miller?or anybody to anybody?this is not a competition!!

[@Pingqwah]

Not to be an ass butt most of the guys from RHCP were born in the 60's hence they came out in the 80's. No one copied anyone though, just a cover of a Stevie wonder song.

[@rafaelfreitasmusic]

sounds like Red Hot Chili Peppers - Higher Ground, who copied who?? or is there no copy? oO

[@crotalus269]

I'm going to disagree and say that marcus miller can play funk, and does play funk. In fact, I would say that higher ground has more of a funk basis than a jazz base

[@EliYBY]

@tubeos "Beats" me!

[@Konrad111111]

no it doesn't ^^ both basslines are gr8!

[@yeah456456]

flea's name should not be spoken in the presence of marcus miller yeah, i said it.

[@Ampdriver]

Who is on horn? Turn the damn camera

[@wilburcoleman7]

he's good ! but I hear a lot of Stanley Clarke

[@metallicakixtotalass]

@Ba55taztic Blasphemy. Even Flea would say so.

[@hendrixjoe555]

@shroomiedoll cameraman's fault

[@Tulkaspl]

comparing flea to MM is stupid. It's like comparing football to basketball. You can't say if Michael Jordan is better than Roberto Carlos but they both use a ball to play =]

[@musicmanson]

NO. Give me 10 ways to support your statement.

[@KurtCobainNevermind]

Red Hot Chili Peppers and Marcus Miller both copied Stevie Wonder

[@Ba55taztic]

flea>marcus

[@pennywiseRJ]

looking it rhcp version sucks!! and flea too!!! huahuahuahuahuhauhaua
