Les has much more talent but Flea's great.

John Entwistle or Geddy Lee?
 
Quoted from the bass forum, and I agree:

"Flea is a band bass player, first and foremost, and a very very good one. Les Claypool IS the band, with a bunch of backing musicians."

"And I have to admit that I cringe every time Les opens his yap. Someone should do him a favor and take away his mic..."

Yeah, Ler LaLonde and Jay Lane are "back-up musicians" for Les :rolleyes

Good thing Geddy has Neil and Alex backing him up :twofinger
 
If you took David Lee Roth out of VH would it still be VH? Wait, no :p

But yes, Les is Primus and for good reason...

I love flea, but most of his riffs sound similar.

Les does things to that bass that are unimaginable.
 
Jaco Pastorius.

J/K he is Good in his own style of music just not slappin that bitch!

If "slapping the bitch" is the criteria this thread is using for rating a bass players greatness, then you mention Louie Johnson and STFU about white rock stars.

This is comparing assholes to elbows (no disrespect to flea), but yeah, les no question.

However, [youtube]ipjTvRe7-Zg[/youtube] for the fuckin win. No arguing necessary.
