Don't doubt too much. Petrucci has even said he's influenced by Lifeson.
They are completely different players though and I go for the more
emotional. Your really going to tell me as a whole that Petrucci is more
emotional than Lifeson? Petrucci knows more, absolutely, and Petrucci beats
Lifeson in every category except melody/emotion. So I guess Petrucci would
"technically" be the right choice but this is a poll for whos playing we like
better and mine stays with Lifeson without question.

Alex can write riffs, whereas Petrucci just shreds endlessly. Therefore, Alex has my vote.

I agree. I like them both, but Alex seems more melodic whereas Petrucci seems more technical.

Pertrucci knows what he's doing, Alex not so much...
although I can't say IM a huge RUSH fan, so that might be why

I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

Portnoy gave Peart a whipping in the drummers poll & it looks like Petrucci is going to whip Lifeson's ass. All we need now is a Lee versus Myung poll and victory for Myung would mean a knock out blow for Dream Theater! |
No no no! This is all wrong. Is it any wonder I can't stand the sight or sound of DT! Please don't have a Lee v Myung poll as we've disgraced ourselves enough already !

I like both bands , but Mr. Lifeson has the edge because his solos don't alll sound the same as is the case with Mr. petrucci.

Call that an argument?
That was never an argument.

I like both. RUSH and DREAM THEATER are my favourite bands now.
Anyway, I'll go with Mr. PETRUCCI.

indeed!! petrucci plays to many notes, it's like a machine is playing instead of a human being. Lifeson has got the best feeling, without any doubt.

They're both great, but there is no doubt in my mind that Petrucci is better.
