| Hey, I was just wondering this on my drive home yesterday... who would you consider to be an excellent musician, one you respect as a musician and maybe even admire, in a band that you consider horrible...
... I was going to originally call this thread, "A diamond amongst turds" |

| Wolfgang Van Halen in VH.  I would say... Vivian Campbell. He is way more talented than what Def Leppard utilizes. Just listen to the early DIO albums. |

That maybe true TZ, but what Campbell did in Dio would sound silly in Def Leppard, plus Def Leppard are very talented in their own right. |

| Af for me, I don't have anyone particularly in mind, but I would say most guitarists in Death or Black Metal bands. I admire their technical skills, and think they are phenomenal musicians... but I just can't stand Death Metal or Black Metal. |

| Everyone in TOTO are all excellent musicians, but I personally never liked their music. |

| After seeing Robert Trijullo (sp?) perform live years ago with Suicidal Tendencies (or maybe it was Infectious Grooves?), I thought his type of funky slap bass playing was an odd choice for Metallica. Still do actually. Not that I think he's the "best musician in a horrible band" per say, just an odd choice in my opinion.

Yes it would sound silly but there is always room to stretch out a little with some soloing. I do like Def Leppard up to Hysteria but find the later albums mediocre and tired IMO. |

I get those 2 confused. I know one I saw one of them live as an opening band. While I don't recall much of the performance, I do remember Robert's funky bass solo and being fairly impressed.
