Rudess is far greater keyboardist than Moore.

I went with Rudess because technically speaking he is the best, but Kevin is pretty good too

Technical ability may take you far, but at the end of the day, songwriting trumps all.
Kevin Moore obviously. |

Rudess. Kevin's great, but I don't know if I'd enjoy modern DT with Kevin in the band, if they went in the same direction.

Kevin Moore by far.
Moore put in some nice atmosphere in his playing with DT and his solos were great (unlike JR who often seems to solo for the sake of it). Moore is also great in his project Chroma Key and his collaboration with Jim Matheos (two FW albums and OSI). Never found JR's solo work that exciting or interesting.

Kevin's keyboard playing on When Dream and Day Unite was perfect. Those punchy, economical textures and bright sounds cut through the mix. Just perfect. Kevin kept it going for the next two albums, I&W and Awake. He's the first guy I heard (since I didn't hear enough of Jens Johansson till later) that made full-time keyboards work in the context of metal. Well, actually, no. The first guy I heard do WAS indeed Rudess, on Vinnie Moore's 1988 album Time Odyssey. "Message in a Dream," in particular. But that's an instrumental album. There are no vocals to work around. Rudess' sound choices have been suspect for many years. I like the RPM stuff. Rudess is the better technical player, I guess, but his lines often come off as notes caught in a vortex, whereas Moore's sound deliberate, varied and tasteful. YMMV, of course.

Judess is a superior player technically, but he gets far too twiddley and obscure at times - positively vaudeville on occasions with his keyboard tones! Moore gets my vote. I would say 'less is Moore ' perhaps...but that's taking puns to a wholly unacceptable level!

At cleaning windows and preparing and serving cold dishes, of course. Tastes are personal and I happen to like technical and skilled players. Rudess is a lesser Emerson, but I prefer that to safe landscape music. He's a bit clusterf#cky at times, I give you that...but, on the other hand, Moore lacks punch. Hitting the right notes (like Banks, for instance) is not the same as missing them. Musicians like Moore or the late Wright strike me as artists who deliver rough sketches of something that could have been, without the necessary polish and detail. If I wanted concise and direct, I'd listen to Ariana Grande and read children's books. |
