BEST BAND EVER: Results!

[Diesel 11]

Eddie Jackson (out of bias) and Tal Wilkenfield (I think I enjoyed her more).

Dave Mustaine over David Gilmour is a joke though.

This post is a joke.

Honestly this top 10 list isn't too bad, all things considered.

Yeah, I agree with this. Not so much when playing but when one sees the entire thing it's pretty decent.

This post is a joke.

Your opinion is a joke. DG is the best lead guitarist in existence. This is a metal board and we are metalheads and hence the top 10, but lets not fool ourselves here, Mustaine doesn't hold a pick for Gilmour.

 

[Diesel 11]

That post was also a joke.

Jackson vs. Deacon - Jackson isn't that noticeable in Queensrÿche's music, while Deacon is one of the favorites in this game IMO. This is pretty apparent just from the example songs.

Bruce vs. Wilkenfeld - Never heard of either of them before, so I decided based on the example songs. Bruce did more in his song, while Wilkenfeld's song was too hipsterish.

For some reason I still saw the old match ups when I voted?!? So if you can remove my votes that would be great

 

[The Flash]

Marcus Miller & Roger Waters

Though Stanley Clarke is a miles better bassist than Roger Waters and Krist Novoselic.

Yeah, you might've done it while I was updating You can fix it now

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

That DMS song is the most metal sounding slap bass I've ever heard. Definitely voting for Marcus Miller.

The only person I'd vote for from Nirvana is Dave Grohl, and I wouldn't count his time in Nirvana as part of my reason for voting. Thus, Waters.

 

[Brigantium]

Marcus Miller is impressive. I like the writing expertise that comes along with the Roger Waters package, too.

 

[Forostar]

Stanley Clarke > Marcus Miller

8:06 - 10

 

[Mosh]

Still trying to decide who to pick in the Miller/Clarke matchup.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Okay, that was the shit. They're both probably pretty evenly matched though. Any more examples?

EDIT: @Night Prowler can I change my vote in the first match-up if I change my mind?

 

[Forostar]

I find Miller a somewhat timid (and even slow) player compared to Clarke's energy.

 

[Mosh]

I really like Marcus Miller on the Amandla album by Miles Davis. JoJo is a stand out track in particular.

Leaning toward Stanley Clarke myself though.

 

[The Flash]

I find Miller a somewhat timid (and even slow) player compared to Clarke's energy.

Miller's knack for groove is something else though.

Some live footage with Return to Forever and Stan Getz:

And Clarke's albums should give a good idea of what the man can. E.g. these two:

 

[The Flash]

Miller's knack for groove is something else though.

Having said this before, I will add that I was the one that nominated both Marcus Miller and Stanley Clarke. So I'm very fond of both and I think it's unfortunate that it's a first round matchup.
