I'd probably choose Claypool if I had to pick.

He's super technical.

Claypool is no very technical compared to this guy:





See 1:15 on the second video, especially.

Do I like Victor Wooten's music?  Nah.

I'm glad that someone brought up Stanley Clark.  I Loooooooooove the Light as a Feather Album.

Fuck those last two videos.  Here's one that should get the "Les Claypool is technical" argument off the table.



Good music?  Not IMHO. Victor Wooten butchers the Charlie Parker's melody. But it puts LC's ham-handed slap into perspective.

Mostly feeling I agree.

Even being a big time metal head from the late 80's I don't think cliff Burton is that great. I mean he was a damn good bassist but.... meh. Steve DiGiorgio is fucking awesome, bassist of Sadus, Death, Control Denied, Testament ,Sebastian Bach, and many other bands. The dude can play bass.

I just love Claypools style and stage presence.

He's a really unique dude when he's playing. And that strut he does around the stage sometimes is hilarious.

This thread:

Les Claypool

Victor Wooten

Les Claypool

Victor Wooten

Les Claypool

Vic Wooten

Repeat ad infinitum

How about this.  If your pick is Les Claypool or Victor Wooten, refrain from posting it.  They have pretty good coverage in this thread already.  I'll betcha they would both name Stanley Clarke as their hero.

Oh cool, yeah man, feeling and emotion as you experience it is all that matters, sorry we were being so wrong with our opinions.

Did it occur to you that the technical excellence expressed by these guys in their playing actually provokes feeling and emotion in people who appreciate it?  I get so much joy and excitement when I hear a really good bass player playing with a great band.

Further, if all you want is raw feelings thrown against a wall then yeah, technical chops don't matter.  Also, who cares about works made by great technical writers or artists, feeelings are all that matters right? 

I mean, feelings and emotions could probably be more effectively expressed by someone with a high technical proficiency, but nah, fuck these super technical douche bags.

Why read a great book when I can just listen to a retard yelling in the street, it's just so full of feeling and emotion!
