John Entwistle or Flea?

I see what you are saying. Even with Oysterhead, while Anastacio is soloing Claypool is playing the same complex lines in the background--the mix is just toned down several notches. He has and always will play his same percussive style, and there is a lot to like and a little--for the harshest of critics --to dislike. But it's what Claypool fans want.

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...
