FONZ vs. FLEA

ok, so over in the "Best Albums of the last 10 years" thread, there has been some talk about the bass playing abilities of Fonz vs. Flea from Red Hot Chilli Peppers. yeah, i know this is a DMB fan site, but there are alot of people on here who have excellent taste in music, so i wanted to see who people think is a better basist.

    Flea is better, but this being a DMB message board, I see Stefan winning.

    Fonz is nothing compared to Flea.

    I knew this poll would happen sometime or another. Fonzi is great, but Flea is wayyyy better. Anyone who votes for Fonzi...well, I dont know.

    dont say styles are too different either. flea could change his bass playing for dmb and add a ton of dynamics. however i dont want to see fleas penis on stage so fonz can stay.

    This is kind of like what would happen if someone posted a poll on a RHCP message board asking Carter Beauford vs. Chad Smith. The vote would be close, but the winner is so clear it's ridiculous.

    Exactly. Granted Stefan is the young guy out of the group with seemingly different interests outside of the musical world from the rest of the band, but can you imagine flea up there on stage with Dave? Technically flea is probably better but I can't imagine them switching bands and having much success fitting in.
