A Certain Shade of Dissapointment

Ive been a hardcore Incubus fan for a long time, and the switch to Kenney was a shock. But Ive been a huge fan of his since his start, and havent looked back... until I bought the Incubus:Live in Sweden album from iTunes. The song "Certain Shade of Green", one of Lance's best slap songs, was utterly destroyed by Ben. I know its a bit of a rant, but it was very, very, VERY dissapointing. Anyone agree?

its personal preference but i think the slapping really made the verse flow.

Ohh yeah, Im not trying to cut anyones opinions but I agree 100% on the flow of the verse. Ben is one of my favorite bassists, but the difference was just... disappointing. But then you listen to the songs he helped write and originally played and think "well, I dont think Dirk could play it the same", so the argument goes either way really.
