Brad Gillis / Jeff Watson

[66 mustang]

which of these great guitar players would you take if you could only have one guitar player in your band?

I know that Brad gets more attention because he was "in Ozzy's band" back in the day but I think Jeff is a little better of a player.

I'll go with Brad

Brad held NR down well in the 90s when they were down to just a power trio. The whammy bar style is cool, but can't compete with Jeff's five-finger technique. Solo album for solo album, I'll take Around the Sun over Gilrock Ranch any day. It's a tough call though, two totally different styles... Brad with the melody, Jeff with the technique. It's a coin toss here, but I went with Jeff.

I went with Brad but I would rather just hear them together!!! They tag team a solo like no other band!

I had to go with Jeff on this one. I love his solo releases better than Brad's. Love Ranger kicked ass (IMO) and it had Sammy Hagar doing some wierd sound effects on it. How can you beat that.

I went with Brad, Jeff's a better technical player but to me Brad plays with more feel. If you had asked me the same question 10 years ago I would have went with Jeff.

Gillis... I may be in the minority, but I think he did some very interesting work on Feeding Off The Mojo... Watson's Mother's Army project, for the most part, left me cold -- such a promising line-up and the resulting albums are just, to put it bluntly -- dull... Not that I don't like Jeff Watson's playing; I just prefer more of what Gillis does better...
