vs.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Voting Phil and Glenn, partially for their great playing and great singing, but also because I can’t get into much of Levin’s music and I dislike Sheehan’s tone.

 

[Ariana]

Deacon vs. Myung - Voting for Deacon because of memorability, but Myung is definitely more technically proficient.

Starr vs. DiGiorgio - DiGiorgio is one of the best metal bass players ever, easy choice.

Corona has infected my social life, hence this.

Let's get a DeLorian, a flux capacitor, some plutonium, and find out.

I know where to find two of these things.

Tony Iommi

Wise choice

Wise choice.

 

[The Flash]

Tony Iommi. Alex Lifeson in 2nd place.

That was ages ago. Continuity has been broken.

 

[Night Prowler]

Sheehan vs. Lynott - Sheehan is probably more technically gifted, but Lynott's lines are catchier. Also, Sheehan is a Scientologist

Hughes vs. Levin - Neither of them are particularly memorable on these songs, but generally I'd pick Levin.

Top 16 starts!

Geddy Lee (RUSH) vs. Tony Levin (solo, KING CRIMSON, PETER GABRIEL)

vs.

Roger Waters (solo, PINK FLOYD) vs. Steve DiGiorgio (CONTROL DENIED, DEATH, SADUS, TESTAMENT)

vs.

 

[Diesel 11]

Geddy & Waters, pretty easily. The other two are good but not nearly as memorable.

 

[Midnight]

Geddy & Waters, pretty easily. The other two are good but not nearly as memorable.

Perfect.

 

[LooseCannon]

Yes, I agree with that. Geddy Lee in particular destroys Tony Levin.

 

[The Flash]

Geddy & DiGiorgio

Waters is thoroughly outclassed here. Great songwriter, unremarkable bass player.

Geddy Lee in particular destroys Tony Levin.

Destroys is a bit much. Levin is a top tier bassist, better than Waters and DiGiorgio.
