Do you mean who voted for him, or who is he? You can see who voted for who at the top.
Up there ^^ EDIT: Hmm, or can you? Usually can. Anyway, i voted for Entwhistle. |
I gotta say john entwistle because i got loads of who dvd s and his bass solo are excellent john paul jones in led zeppelin as a close second

Video 2: some nice, relaxing, elevator music. Video 3: very cool. Of course, it sounds very Les Claypool-ish. |

well... you make one liners throughout this thread, then call a clearly melodic piece 'noise'. what else am i supposed to think? gee, good thing i went out of my way to put together a half decent reply so it can be written off with more one liners?
anyway, getting back to the topic at hand, on a personal level it's all about flea in this competition, the chili peppers moved me far more than any other band i've ever heard. the who is just another really good classic rock act to my ears. |

For the record, I did in fact say I enjoyed the third video. I wish said musician would stick to that style, but hey, different strokes. Quote:

Ha! Broke the tie! Entwistle takes it for me.
|
Dude your pole was untied so I tied it for ya.

on the plus side, it seems we can both definitely agree on flea (although i prefer freaky styley over the self titled :p: ) |

as for claypool, as you said earlier different strokes heheh. it's not that i don't like him or admire his talents i just don't find his output to really stretch out that much. he plays rock songs with freak out bass and that's about it. he has tons of ability but i find him almost lacking in diversity. it's like he created his own style and now he's stuck playing it forever. |

i've heard some of claypool's more recent output (not sure if anything was totally 'solo') but unless he stops 'singing' and just focuses on playing cool instrumentals i'm pretty sure i'd just as soon go back to my old primus discs.
|
I don't think he lacks diversity, guy has like a hundred different side projects and they all do something a little different.
|
mr. dave is right though, he just won't give up the mic (I like unique voices, even if they suck, cuz I don't give a **** about vocals). If I had to suggest something for him I guess it would be Oysterhead because Les doesn't handle all of their vocals or the Frog Brigade because they are way more jam oriented and thus less singing...
|
Quote:
if the side projects are just a little different than i don't think they really need new names. from what i heard of oysterhead and frog brigade it sounded like more primus with a slight twist, i suppose they needed to use new names due to legalities involved with prior groups but still. |
It would be stupid to call all of it Primus, they're all completely different bands with different lineups.
With Oysterhead for example, it dosen't sound to me like Anastasio is imitating Lerlonde, he's being himself, so it's not Primus. Even if he always plays in that distinct slapping/muddy tone style, he implements it into a lot of different styles of music and that's not as easy as you're making it out to be. |
i'm not saying it's easy, i'm saying it's claypool straight across the board. regardless of who's drumming or noodling on a guitar, it's still a claypool outfit. it still ends up sounding like a claypool outfit. i call it similar to primus because that's the one i know best.
the biggest challenge in that situation is not applying the odd style to a slightly different way of playing a rock song but getting over the attitude that applying an odd style to a slightly different way of playing a rock song has to be complex or challenging. it's a common failing with so many amateur musicians, the physical ability is rarely the true limiting factor. |
John Entwistle

It's one thing that makes him very different from Flea. I personally feel Claypool has more ability to pack a punch in his lines. But what makes Flea a great musician is that he has adapted to so many different styles, not just with his different projects, but within RHCP itself. I think Les is overdue for a reinvention anyways, especially with the dissapointment that was his latest disc... |
Flea
|
This is like asking "German chocolate cake or Dutch apple pue?". They're both good but totally different.
|
Weird comparison, but totally Flea. No offense to Entwistle.

Would personally say Flea. He's got that energy and groove. He's a great live player, very adventurous on the stage and will pop a little fill in every now and then that makes you go mmm.

I would choose John. I'm not even big The Who fan, but Entwistle is in my top 3 when it comes to playing abilities.
Only Paul McCartney and Carol Kaye are better, in my opinion. Also Sting and Bill Wyman both are very close to be better than John, but I have never realized the reason why Flea is so overrated. |
