Not IS it bad... but HOW BAD IS IT?

I assume his head injury led to this performance

Good: it doesn’t have Kiedis dabba-dabba-doo-doo-ing over it.

Bad: I’ve heard better jazz trumpet solos in a high school band. He does have decent tone.

Not going to buy the record or anything, but it’s okay. People are playing actual musical instruments.

surprised a funk bassist who also plays brass hasn't invented slap tuba

He is undeniably a big bugle boy now.

"Excuse me, are those Bugle Boy jeans you're not wearing?"

It'd be cool if he pulled out another bass and used it as a mute.

When most high profile live performances nowadays are karaoke or lip synching??

Yeah, I’ll continue using this defense.

Execrable. Nigh as bad as Californication.
