It might not be related, but they’ve found mold inside the reactor room of Chernobyl. Apparently it’s evolved a chlorophyll like molecule that captures gamma radiation. It’s literally living of the energy that makes the environment lethal to almost anything else (organic or electronic).
Edit. Just checked and it’s not confirmed how it’s growing. They do know it grows significantly faster in a high radiation environment. They haven’t pinned down the exact biological mechanism.
Unlikely. Biochemistry, as we know it, relies on a carbon-carbon backbone. That breaks down long before the temperatures on the sun’s main outer layers. The electrons get stripped off, and chemistry, as we know it, stops working.
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.
You’ve just convinced me I have early onset dementia. Knew that wasn’t his name but couldn’t remember at all what it was before looking it up, and could only thing of Lance Armstrong.
