Well I don't know about what was happening in NYC but the UK was different.

 

Give me some time for the evidence. Sid Smith tweeted some incontravertable proof a month or so ago but I can't dig it up.

Ged is not a keyboardist. He is bass player who plays keys and synth live and on some albums.

 

Tony Banks is a (very good) keyboardist. yes.gif

 

And for all you Banks' haters check these out.

Right, because differing opinions can't be serious.

Ha...that's awesome!

 

Just yesterday, I was listening to Genesis' 'Shapes' album, and I was mentioning how great Tony Banks is, and my wife asked me who was a better keyboard player, him or Ged. So...nice timing on the thread!

 

As far as my choice, exactly what I told her...

 

TONY BANKS

 

It's pretty clear-cut IMO. Tony is a keyboard player. Ged is a bass player. Ged has tons of talent on the keys, but Tony is still miles better. It's what he was born to do. Like someone else said earlier, even Geddy himself would agree no doubt.

Oh, hush you! tongue.gif

 

Tony. Irrefutably. And Geddy would say the same.

 

 

Next question?

 

Oh, right.... Mickelson for sure. wink.gif

Apples and oranges here, people. Tony is a little better, but that's all he plays (at one time). (Especially when you try to compare him with who he replaced, the Wizard. I know , no comparison).

Now, as we all know, Geddy's got his hands full, most people would have a time just trying that in a studio, but live?

All in all, I'm just biased, I've got nothing against Tony.
