    Their styles are quite different but IMO, Bela is one of the world's most talented musicians. Plus, I like how his style fits with DMB better. I remember during the first part of the Stone at Hollywood thinking that Barnes was having a hard time trying to figure out where to fit in. The second half of the song was sick, but it was weird at first. Never got that vibe from Bela.

    No matter how great Danny is, there really is no comparison when it comes to who fits in better with DMB.

    Danny is great, but Bela is the greatest banjo player alive, and has been playing with DMB for years, so he fits in better.

    It has to suck being a banjo player and not being Bela Fleck. Danny Barnes is very, very good...but Bela is extraordinary. Plus Bela fitz betterh with teh BAnd NENERGIEZ12

    Totally different styles.

    Since we're on the topic of banjo players that guested with DMB, would love to see DMB invite Tony Furtado out for a few songs.

    Re: Bleck Fleck vs Danny Barnes

    Barring both guys talent on the banjo (since both have obviously mastered technical aspects of playing the banjo and have both developed different styles) i still say bela fleck is one of the most musical musicians on any scene right now. He knows just what to do at any given point within a song. knows when to accompany, knows when to add fills, his solos are very tasteful and extremely impressive. And he knows how to compliment other musicians (musically). To me, the mark of a truly great musician, is their ability to make other musicians sound better with what they're playing.

    Bela, hands down.

    Wait, is this a talent thread? Or a live w/ DMB thread? Either way...maybe I'm viewing the world through Bela colored glasses, but I can't imagine this poll turning out any way other than it already has.
