ONE OF THESE DAYS I'M GOING TO CUT YOU INTO LITTLE PIECES That was Nick as the sole voice of PF, right? Also, he played guitar on Outside The Wall (live).

Possibly a better comparison would be Lockwood vs Jean Luc Ponty, and maybe Steinhardt vs Eddie Jobson or Darryl Way.

Hey HarryHood (or should I say Neal Morse judging by your avatar ?), your signature is disturbing : Nick Mason is alive, and he is neither the voice nor the guitar of PF.

Lockwood, especially for his incredible performance on Live/Hhai.

I'm going to have to get that Rahmann album...I listened to some of the samples there, pretty awesome stuff. |

Yeah, that's another good example of what he can do. |

His performance on "Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh" off Retrospektiw 1-2 is also excellent. I love that version of MDK. Based on what I've heard, I think that Lockwood is a more versatile violinist. Technically, I don't know that he's that outstanding, but I really like much of his work. |

Lockwood for me as well. His work on Magma and Zao albums makes it an easy choice.

Since I really don't like Kansas, I have no choice but to vote for Lockwood.
Oh, and he's good.

Lockwood for me. I enjoy the albums I've heard him on more than the albums I've heard Steinhardt on by far, with Live/Hhai being a prime example of excellence.

Never heard that other guy. But I still don't think he could beat Robby
Steinhardt for me. Few can. Kansas was my first prog rock love and he's
such an integrated and important part of that sound he'll always have
immense value for me. Lovely violinist!
Unfair? The guy is losing anyway! ;) |

^^ Diddler Lockwood vs. Rubby Stayin'hard.
^I love that performance too. I also liked his work on Zao - Live! and Zao's Kawana, And he's done good stuff with Clearlight, and nice work with Gong. And he also contributed to Rahmann, which is very good. http://www.myspace.com/rahmannzeuhl Edited by Logan - February 20 2010 at 03:22 |

Although his output was minimal, I have to vote for lockwood just because his performance was so amazing on Magma's live album. That might be my favourite violin playing on any album I've heard.
Also for the reasons Man Overboard mentioned. |

I can't not vote for a guy whose name looks like "Diddler Lockwood".

I never really was blown away by Steinhardt. I mean he was competent and definitely integral to the classic Kansas sound. However, he never really melted my face like Ponty, Goodman, Sloan, or Ragsdale. I don't know the other guy's work tho, so I can't vote. However, since he's a jazz violinist, he's probably better. :D
On his quitting Kansas, I heard it was mainly because he was just in it to be on stage; he wasn't really trying to be a good musician and would frequently forget lyrics, screw up violin parts, etc. I think his rejoining the band was just kind of a nostalgic joyride, instead of a serious effort. Hence, Walsh, who conversely takes everything way too seriously, gave him the boot. He was probably in the right, but I get the sense that Walsh is a real dick sometimes. After all, he's friends with Trent Gardner and we know how popular he is here... Edited by Deathrabbit - February 20 2010 at 00:32 |
