Greatest Keyboardist?

[johnezz]

A bit of a change of pace when it comes to Poll subjects.

Keyboards can tend to be underrated, but personally if used in the right way, they rule!

The Greatest Keyboardist, hmmmmm Rick Wakeman is a genius, but i'll have to go with Jon Lord, he added so much to Deep Purple and was way better than if they just had a 2nd guitarist, He could also play damn fast. His best piece would have to be Lazy.

I can't stand Yes music. It lacks a spark.

[johnezz]

well don't vote for Rick Wakemen then if you find his keyboard work lacks spark

[stevGNR666]

ray manzarek could sing all of jim's parts if he passed out...i give him my vote

[Wild_Child]

Vadim from Dragonforce gets my vote. That guy is amazing. Once they had a powercut or something like that, but somehow he could play his keyboard and did a massive old keyboard solo while they got the powerback. brilliant.

[White_Mouse]

It's Keith Emerson.

[The Killing Hand]

Where's Jordan Rudess??? he's simply amazing

[Genesis]

I said Wakeman, but the majority of those mentioned deserve honorable praise for their work.

I think the duo of Kraftwerk should appear here somewhere.

[Ringo]

i sayd jon lord of deep purplei dont know what his best is but his work in Highway Star is fucking incredible!

[Death Star]

None of them at all. I think the greates keyboradist is......... Micheal Hessl-mail!!!!!!

[Sekh-met]

none from these......for me the best is Tuomas Holopainen!!!

Thats your opinion, but these 10 are widely considered as the greatest because of their influence.

Oh and Ringo i agree, Highway Star is bloody amazing, so is Fireball and Burn, also Child in Time. Ritchie Blackmore and Jon Lords styles completment each other perfectly.

[chicagocoma13]

Keith Emerson-- best piece IMO is Karn Evil 9 second impression. The guy from the first Yngwie Malmsteen album --Jen Johannson or something. The guy from Nightwish is amazing as well.

[Sekh-met]

The guy from Nightwish is amazing as well.

yep,he is ...Tuomas fuckin rocks!

[chicagocoma13]

[Shia0bundan]

Steve Walsh (from Kansas) is fucking amazing.

yep the guitar and keyboard playing over eachother on the solos are just an awsome touch to deep purple!

[Fizz]

Yeah I'd go for John Lord. "Highway Star" off Made In Japan is just

[Genesis]

Forgot about John Paul Jones as well

He's not even a proper keyboardist, you narrowminded shit

[bucket13]

Rick Wakeman is crazy on the keyboards but I also have to give credit to Ray Manzeric because of his incredible keyboard pieces that he did for the doors.

:krider:

PS...IMO Beethoven was the greatest of them all B)
