Entwistle could be subtle though, that's a point I've been trying to make. That's what makes his amazing lead parts so much more valuable.

It's possible to use dynamics without just being subtle. In fact, that's the nature of the word. One needs to stand out as well as be able to stay back to use dynamics fully. And JPJ stood back much too often to be said to be great with dynamics. Besides, subtlety without creativity is worthless. Consider songs where Entwistle took a back seat to the song as a whole, there are plenty of examples. Eminence Front, for example. Entwistle lays the groove down but keeps it interesting.

It's a hard argument, when one is named John Paul, one Bron-Yr-Aur and the last has a Who avatar. Don't you think you're just biased to the band you prefer?

I prefer Zeppelin over the Who but I wouldn't even hesitate on calling John the better bassist.

Nonetheless, JPJ is pretty cool. Especially after hearing his solo album Zooma.

No, I don't really. I think Entwistle is the overall greater bassist, as we've already discussed. I don't care who you like more, personal preferences aside. And for the record, a lot of people in the forums without Who avatars clearly say that Entwistle is a greater bassist.

Oh, and someone with "Whole Lotta Led" as their username just said Entwistle is greater too.

Not really.

Hey wow. My mind is totally changed.



I think John Paul does his job better and with more diversity. Alot of what Entwistle does is up at the front of it all, and I think John Paul is better with knowing how to play and when to play it.

You really airballed the point on that one. The point was that just because I have a Who avatar and appear to be a "fanboy", it doesn't mean that I'm the only person with that opinion, in fact many many people believe that. I was discrediting the fact that my opinion somehow meant less because of my avatar. I know I'm not going to change yours, in fact I was never trying to.This Message Edited On 09.27.06

What, why did you call what I said bull? I think we're making the same exact point here.

^Yes, I agree with this post.

Stinky: You're not even coming close to being relevant.If by "bull" you mean "a fact" then I agree. Because it's a fact that a lot of people on these forums with non-Who avatars think Entwislte is the greater bassist.This Message Edited On 09.27.06

So, AnyColour calls Lunch's point bull, yet in proving his point he uses the exact same point Lunch made. Than Poptart comes in and since he has no idea whats going on calls Lunch's point bull to to fit in.

Am I caught up?

Why don't you guys just admit Entwistle is the better bassist so we can let this review die?
