JohnRogers Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Look let us not have this silly comparison please, John Entwhistle set the standard and Geddy raised the bar to another level.I've been revisiting my Who catalog lately and agree 102%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 But JE died in an orgy of cocaine and hookers in a hotel room It was so sad wasn't it? Erm.... hang on no it was OK That is the way I would like to go. Ask anyone - how would you rather die? In a chair in a old people's home with a tartan blanket in a pool of your own urine waiting for your next bowl of soup? MMMMM...soup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Honest Man Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 RUSH is my all time favorite, but The Who is a close second. From a technical standpoint no other three piece bands can keep up with these two. All 3 in both bands virtuoso's. For the poll, I had to vot for The Ox, as great as Geddy is, you have to be a serious fan or accomplished musician to understand what Entwistle did for music and how is playing was the basis and the thunder for almost all of The Who's music. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthshine Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) John Entwistle. Geddy Lee would agree 100%, I am sure . :geddy: Not just as bass players, but as well-rounded musicians and great vocalists. John can play several instruments, as can Geddy.Both are great vocalists and great songwriters. Edited May 27, 2017 by Earthshine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 John Entwistle without a doubt. Geddy Lee would agree 100%, I am sure . :geddy: Absolutely. The Ox hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 What you think? Which bassist is your pick?I think The Ox is slightly better, in fact the best rock bassist of all time, Geddy can come closely second to him. Don't worry King. The Ox blows Geddy away! John is a better singer too. Signed, "MY WIFE" Oh good, I found my original post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas7 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Strange thing, watching a Jam concert, noticed similarities between Bruce Foxton and Geddy Lee's playing, Foxton saying his major influence was John Entwistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Digital Man Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Foxton plays mostly mediocre bass lines with a pick and Geddy plays some awesome ones with his fingers, don't really see any similarities to be honest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a major Jam fan by the way, are you a bass player? If I was thinking of 'mediocre' then I would be thinking Status Quo or AC/DC bass lines.

theredtamasrule Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Honestly, I like Geddy Lee much more. Entwistle is far too busy a player compared to Geddy. Ged can be busy...and sing...and play bass pedals...and play keyboard. Now that's busy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
