Stu Hamm Vs Les Claypool

This match is the first time two bass guitars go at it here on GuitarDuels. Stu arrives from the likes of playing with Steve Vai, and more notably, Joe Satriani. Les is the founding member of Primus and has done many offshoot gigs including perhaps his most famous one, as the theme song for South Park.
Both are un-conventional players in their own right. Where Stu brings a finesse and fusion style to his playing, Les is more of a groove/funk/weird type of sound. And yes, he has a friggin WHAMMY BAR on his bass!
Regardless, both bring some unique elements to the table. Which one would you want for your band? Which one do you think is more influential? Which one do you like best?

Slash Vs Kirk Hammett

Another great battle between two of the most successful guitarists of the last 20 years. While Kirk has remained in Metallica for the entire stint, Slash started with GNR, and due to Axl being a complete phucktard, has moved on to solo projects.
At one point in time, these two bands toured together, and I was fortunate enough to see them play. I’ve seen Metallica many times more than Slash, and from a performance perspective, Kirk certainly has had more chops to play.
While they have both brought their style to their music, which one do you think has been more influential? Which one do you think is the flat-out better player? Which one would you want to party with? Which one do you think could deliver a knock-out solo on the spot?
