Steven Wilson vs Paul Gilbert

Two fellows whom both sing, write songs and knows how to play the guitar. Who dpbyou favour of the two. Both with a good singing voice, both can write songs and both can play the guitar quite well.

So whos your pick

Wilson, easy

Gilbert because he's a way better guitarist.

Steven Wilson at songwriting and singing, Paul Gilbert at guitar. Overall, I'd pick SW.

Until now, I never thought of comparing the two.

I voted Wilson.

And in my book (I truly enjoy gifted musicians) he'll get my vote. Exactly how I look at it. I don't find Wilson an interesting song writer (I'm not trolling; he bores the sh*t out of me, all of his bands, projects, and remasters), so that doesn't do much compared to Paul's discography, skill, and much-more-interesting playing style.

its becouse Steven and Gavin have been in band together and Paul and Marco have played together. Both are around the samd age, seem to have listened to similar type of bands and influences. Exposed to similar eras of music. Boty consumes musoc and are also expressvie about their role in music, Paul Gilbert is now a Youtuber, whom offers guitar lectures on youtube. hes perhaps the youtuber with most professibal music background knowledge.

Gilbert is technically one of the maestros of modern guitar, mostly shred but he can play many other styles. But his songwriting is not out of this world (although there's much of him I haven't heard).
