John Entwistle or Flea? (bass, Kiss)

eviljoker7075 · 06-08-2005, 11:38 AM

See now I'm really not sure, coz tbh I can't really hear anything special in Flea's bass playing (I'm not saying I could play it better but you know). But Joh Entwistle seems to be a bit more electric (just listen to Boris The SPider!!)

P.S. If you have to ask who John Entwistle is don't bother voting!!

Flea to me is more adventerous, I don't know that the ox would have done Pea. And frankly, if you can't hear anything special about Flea's bass playing you shouldn't have made the thread since then (to you) entwhistle would be better. I think Flea is amazing and he has some of the coolest Bass riffs I've ever heard (suck my kiss, give it away)

mmm fair point, although I was just making the poll to see the opinions of others - simply because Flea is always hailed as the greatest...

Greatest what? Claypool owns him on skill.

I prefer the way Flea plays - more riff based than most bass players would bother with, however Entwistle is a ledge, no doubt about that one.

mmm, see this is another one of those spur of the moment type polls, just see the names and pick.... BANG!!!

Gotta say entwistle, but Flea can hold his own.

Everyone keep in mind that Flea played the bass on De-Loused in the Comatorium with The Mars Volta. I'm obviously gonna vote for him.

^convincing, but my vote still goes to Entwistle, though Flea's got the energy.
