Les Claypool may be a very gifted bass player, but his music doesnt do anything for me. Its the same with Flea and RHCP, I feel they both try to over complicate bass licks, just to show off...

is it really showing off though? if you cant show your talents on your record what are you suppose to do with it

Levithan · 04-22-2006, 10:23 AM

That is true, but when every song has a complex bass line, kinda gets a bit much

EDIT: And it all comes to sound the same after a while

i suppose to each his own, i understand what you mean but i like it, i love great bass lines and dont hear enough of them

I`ve never really got a grip on Primus , they just don`t appeal to me.

That song they did with Tom Waits was OK though

If I played bass I would probably like this band, however I don't and I find them unlistenable.

I disagree.

To me, they are just elevating the role a bass guitar can play in a song, it can be more than just a bassline, it can be the whole riff.

Flea and Les aren't the first of their kind to make the bass a big role in a band though... Especially with all the funk bands, who put more emphasis on bass than guitar.
