At this point I can’t stand to hear anything past/present from that band at all anymore. It’s solely because of Keidis. I have no problem with the guys making the actual music. I hate his voice and I hate his stupid lyrics. From what I’ve read he is also not a cool guy.
I think Flea is the greatest bass player of all time and I’d argue that Chad Smith is one of the best drummers of all time, but they make music for a band lead by a douche bag.
As a casual fan, enlighten me, why’s he a douche? I loved the Chilli Peppers in middle /high school, but haven’t really paid any attention to them since.
Flea does stuff outside of the Chili Peppers and I’d say, yes, he’s better than Les Claypool
I guess really it depends on how you classify things and what you’re weighting the opinion on.
I personally think someone like Tim Henson is talented, but makes what I call musical gibberish, stuff that’s wildly technically impressive but sounds like math music from an AI chat bot. I value the ability to do more with less, over ‘notes per minute’ or ‘pinch harmonics per minute’
So I’m valuing the overall digestibility of the music created and not necessarily the raw finger on fret talent. I think Flea is a better musician overall.
Opinions are subjective so this isn’t a ‘debate me because I know I’m right’ type of post, everyone is entitled to their opinions.
I don’t think Flea is better than Les, but I can totally understand such an opinion. They’re both awesome but, in my opinion, Les Claypool is (even) more unique and innovative than Flea.
About Tim Henson…I disagree 200% even though he’s not exactly my preference.
Tim Henson is trash, imo, for the reasons you described. A product of the tik tok era where appearances and ego are the only factors considered, leaving any substance as the happenstance of an anomaly.
It’s amazing that Chad Smith, Flea and John Frusciante are all at top of their respective instruments, in a band led by a guy who isn’t even the best shitty rapper.
I find it funny that besides intellect, us humans possess the greatest power, which is petting. Petting allows us to be friends with most animals that would otherwise kill us
This for sure. Next time your cat shows you their belly, scratch the back of their head or pet their back like you normally would and see if they react better.
Some cats do like it! Depending on situation, mine do as well, but my roommates have a cat who will quickly flop over to show her belly if you pet her, but will act offended and give a warning bite if you try to pet her there
Cats didn’t domesticate themselves by being fed directly by humans. But humans still brought the food because humans bring rats and mice with them, cats stuck around for the greater volume of prey.
You can like it, but the hard truth is that cats were never domesticated. They can leave anytime they want and would be fine. Humans would never be the same, though…
This only works for outdoor cats and in areas with plenty of prey. Most indoor cats don’t do well if left on their own and outdoor cats often struggle too.
I think that’s because the narrow scientific term domestication is used in casual speach with a shifted meaning. And that’s because we don’t have any other expression for animals that you can be friends with that would sound as cool as domesticated (taming is too tame).
Edit: Sorry, got lost in the threads. I’ll leave it here because it is still kind of on topic. I guess I should also add that domestication is a process and the line where an animal is considered domesticated is arbitrary.
My roommate is the worst when it comes to this. I don’t wanna know what this scene is a reference of. Just let me watch, motherfucker! I do like to discuss movies and get nerdy about them, but only after I finish watching it. I’ve told him so many times, it’s honestly insufferable.
And then he’ll start scrolling through his phone 10 minutes in whenever someone else suggests a movie. He’s a good friend, but God do I hate watching anything with him.
I can’t stand watching film with anybody. I shush them as soon as they start talking, even if there’s no dialogue happening. I just can’t divide my focus like that. But even worse is when people pause the movie to explain things.
