I'm not saying, Myung can't write interesting or groovy basslines (he probably can), but I haven't seen any yet. Even when he does, I highly doubt he could compete with Pastorius, Wooten etc.
Billy Sheenan gives Myung a run for his money...And listen to some Tony Levin, hes the most consistant session bassist for a good reason, hes a technical wizard and he cannot be touched by mere mortals, Myung is only a half-god compared to Levin in my opinion.

And though Chris Squire and John Wetton arent as technicaly skilled as Myung, i would still rather see them perform live in a heartbeat.
