+1 With Portnoy out of the picture, I wish they'd finally wise up to getting some outside ears into the studio.

Since I'm not very familiar with Riverside, I won't bother voting. Myung and Mendez are both excellent players, and I'm very fond of both of their styles and note choice.

John Myung. Even though he's relegated to the background in DT. Opeth was my favorite band for a few years, but I always found Martin Mendez's playing a bit boring. A bassist with some character might do Opeth some good.

I�ll go with Myung. Just too bad his bass is often drowned the ego Petrucci and Portnoy productions. Dream Theater is one of those bands that are in dire need of an outside producer and have been since 1998.

Surprise? ![]() Oh and it's not so much the speaking Polish thing, I am just new to Riverside. But they are a great band! And I think he may be the best bassist of these. |

^I never can remember it off the top of my head, but I can always recognize it

Oh wow, soooo many you could possibly choose from!
But since we're limited to these three I'll say Duda. I'm sure Mendez is good but I never though the bass a huge part of Opeth, and makes it tough to show how good he may be. Nothing against Myung who is quite fine but I think a bit over rated. I didn't even know the bassist's name for Riverside ![]() |

Part one in a study of bassists: PROG METAL
I chose three bassists, each having great skill with their instrument, and each being in a band that has a rather decent following. So, which of these bassists, from Dream Theater, Riverside, or Opeth is your favorite? I defied all expectation, and went with Mariusz Duda. Although I love John Myung with copious amounts of joy, Duda's style is so unique I (painfully) chose him.
