Poll: Cliff Williams or Adam Clayton

[GK Growl]

OK... let's say you are a producer and you find out that Cliff Williams and Adam Clayton are both not only available, but want to work on a meat and potatoes rock project with you producing (not playing). Who do you choose, and why?

This is obviously a spinoff from the Billy Sheehan/Dave LaRue poll.

So who would you choose?

Cliff. I just like AC/DC better.

Clayton. When he does play bass-forward lines, he plays some catchy stuff - ex. New Year's Day. I like his tone too.

Meat and Potatoes... Cliff. Overall I like Clayton better, but Cliff to me is the definition of a meat and potatoes rock bassist.

I'd pick Adam so I could tell him off about U2 being around 20 years longer than they should have.

I have a friend that saw Cliff warm up before a gig. He is apparently a very good player.

Clayton? Luckiest multimillionaire musician in the world IMO.

P.s. I did a corporate gig and we played Wonderful Day by U2... Easy as hell, but man what a fun bass line to play!

LOL.

I'd pick Clayton. He writes catchier lines that are still simple and yet completely in the pocket.

Is this really a question? Candy ass U2 bass player or cliff????

[dbd1963]

Clayton.

[Rickett Customs]

That would also depend on the track(s) that they're playing to....... What genre? Is it Jazz? Is it Stoner doom? Is it R&B?

[JimmyM]

Cliff is a much better bassist than he lets on with AC/DC, plus he's airtight and rock solid.

Just playing earlier but I do like cliff more.
