it has a classical feel because cliff would use classical scales to write his metal songs. when he did, it gave it like you said "Has sorta that classical pensive type feel or something, definately classical." cliff would often experiment with musical theory. And about the "best bass player" no one will ever be the best becasue there is always someone better than you at something. so maybe flea is really good, but whose to say some kid right now at the age of 5 can play all his shit already, maybe even behind his head!! yeah, there will always be someone greater and someone who has it worse than you.
