Yup, another "vs." thread. But seriously, who do you guys like better? Yeah Mikey replaced Matt a while back. I'm still debating on who i like better, but right now I think I like Matt's playing better. Although really simplistic, i love the bassline for "only in dreams" |

I have to say at this point Sharp is winning, Welsh has yet to prove himself.
Also I don't think Mikey is as invovled in the creative process as Matt was

They are close skill wise, but when comparing who is a better fit with Weezer Matt blows Mikey away. Matt had the perfect geek attitude had some awesome vocals and was involved more in the creative process. Granted Mikey is good and has huge shoes to fill so I will be easy, but Matt is better for Weezer and probably slightly better as a bass player too. |

does anyone notice how much mikey seems to slide? or is it just me?

Welsh seems to be just a rootnote player which is fine, but he is not more valuable to the band in different areas like Sharp was. |

| | | | i have to agree with Mikey 96 besides the bass playing factor, Sharp added those falsettos,,,,, those falsettos are key,,,, the basslines well wait ffor the next weezer album to test Mikey's skill,,, I think image wise that both boys fit the bill tho everyone's nostalgic will almost always like the old guy better jsut give mikey time,,, the only case i can think of that the new guy wins in these versus battles is Phil Collins over PEter Gabriel in Genesis, (even tho Peter is better!!!!!) but thats not even bass-related so i'm goin to stop talking

I don't have a fast connection at home, so i will take a screenshot at college tommorow, and see if i can get a clean picture of it.
I saw this video on mtv2 last week, and caught a small look at the bass, i just really want to know what make / model it is so i can get a good look at it. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
