Love it.

Oops my bad! I misunderstood your post lol. And of course I voted for Entwistle :bowdown:

[Oi! Oi!]

Entwistle is good, and i respect what he's done, but idk, he's a bit too stale for me. my vote goes to Flea, he seems like he has more fun with it.

still, they're both far from being the greatest bassists.

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!!

[Mocha Latte]

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.

Uh, I like Sting.

I think he's an incredibly good bassist.

Of course I remeraber that stupid argument we had where I compared him to Michael Anthony.

And yeah, I think that was stupid, and I was wrong, Sting is better, happy now?

I was making a point.

Besides:

Though I'm partial to Entwhistle and the music of the Who, I don't think it's a stretch to suggest that Flea is held in higher or at least as high of regard within the music community. Big3 mentioned Les Claypool four years ago, that's another name at the top of my list of modern bass players.

i have a funny feeling that if it weren't for the ox there wouldn't be a flea.

they both push the envelope but in flea's case that envelope had already been pushed open quite a bit by guys exactly like entwistle. they're both gateway musicians that offer insights to fans to find new and better musicians. anyone calling claypool the top of the pile really neeRAB to check out squarepusher.

as for the sock thing being indicative of a mental disorder.... read up on the man a bit first. it's representative of the fact that they have absolutely nothing to hide with their music. he feels spiritually naked when playing, there's no facade to overcome, simply expression and the band chooses to reflect that in the choice of their stage wear (or lack of).

as for maccartney sucking at the bass. try singing one of his tunes while playing the bass.
