Musicians Fight 3: Geddy Lee or John Wetton

In my opinion, this is the hardest one.

I have to go with Geddy on this one, as a bass player only.  For vocals, I would vote Wetton.

Geddy's playing with John's voice would be the best.

Geddy Lee! For vocals, bass playing, and fashion sense.

I prefer Wetton as a singer, even then i not sure i prefer him to Geddy Lee's singing just because of the amount of Rush CD's i listen to compared to UK, and the KC albums he did.

John have a better bass sound, over decent techniquw, warmer voice, and overall a good preformer, so i vote for him, he is more captivative but Geddy is also a stellar bass player with a uniqie flare on the insturment, and wonderfull fills and overall flexibilaty on the bass and a solid sound, but he aint got the growl which John produced on songs like Fallen Angel and Starless

this is my favourite bass song by Wetton, the tone is fantastic

I thought Lee was a far better bass player than Wetton until I saw this:

Hercules, I just watched that clip, just brilliant playing from Wetton. I think we all froget just how good he is, especially when you listen to his more comercial work of the last few years!!

John Wetton for his voice which is one of my favourites but he is also an excellent bassist. Wetton would get in my list of ten bassists but Lee wouldn't be in my list of vocalists.

Originally posted by Gandalff There is a similar case like a previous Bruford/Peart fight: Geddy's bass playing is technically perfect, but somewhat without soul, unlike John. Geddy is too tightly connected with only one band - Rush, while John is much more versatile. Geddy's vocals are rather annoying in heights, John's timbre isn't just clear but still pleasant.   So, John it is.
