 FANTASY BANDS
There was a discussion in the "What we're listening to" thread about some great players and one fine fellow mentioned Return to Forever and I thought "Wow, now that was a fantasy combination." Kind of like three musicians we know. Then I thought about interchanging players. I wonder what kind of new sounds could come out of that. So, I'll start. Remember this is FANTASY. Band: The What? Pete Townsend: rhythm guitar, backup vocals John Paul Jones: bass Elton John or Billy Joel: Piano/keys, backup vocals Satriani (Satch): Lead guitar Neil Peart: Drums, percussion, chanting I have to think carefully about a lead singer. Sir Paul at age 30? Oh and let's fantasize about what age they are in the band. "Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then." "Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup." "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end." |

RE: FANTASY BANDS
Cool idea.
Let's see... Rhythm guitar: Tom Petty Bass: Geddy Lee OR Stanley Clark Keyboards: Keith Emerson Lead guitar: Satriani (good call on that one) Drums, percussion: Neil Peart AND Martin Deller Singer: Roger Daltry Electric Violin: Jean-Luc Ponty AND Ben Mink (threw that in just for fun) Losers visualize the results of failure and live in fear. Winners visualize the results of success and live in abundance. - me |

RE: FANTASY BANDS
I would love to hear Bubba and the Boys with guest keyboard player, Tony Banks
... in a world where I feel so small I can't stop thinking big! |

RE: FANTASY BANDS
I was thinking the ELP Keyboard but I wasn't sure which was which. Right on!
How about Bela Flec thrown in? Family Johnson, holy mackerel, have you heard the tribute to Hendrix? Unbelievable. With Mick Jagger at 27. "Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then." "Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup." "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end." |

RE: FANTASY BANDS
Keith Emerson is no slouch on the keys, for sure. But I would die to hear Tony Banks and Lerxst play together. Their styles are so similar: both play arpeggiated chords and odd chords.

RE: FANTASY BANDS
How about RUSH for the rhythm section with the Transiberian Orchestra. Mark Wood on electric violin.
...or you could mix genres. For example, a Metallica folk album with Bobby Dylan jumping in on vocals. "Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then." "Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup." "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end." |

RE: FANTASY BANDS
Hmmm.... The Boys with TSO....that would be an interesting and most enjoyable concert. Just think of the light show.
If you can't play by OUR rules take your toys and go home!! ![[Image: rulez.gif]](http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-forum/rulez.gif)

RE: FANTASY BANDS
Yes, exactly.
Here you go... Paul Stanley (rhythm guitar/vocals) and Freddie Mercury on vocals/piano (circa 1975) Tom Schultz (lead guitar) Paul McCartney (bass/back-up vocals and band/orchestra arrangements) John Bonham (Drums) "Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then." "Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup." "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end." |

RE: FANTASY BANDS
Cool idea!! Since we're dreaming (and dont pinch me):
Percussion: Peart (duh) Keyboards: Bruce Hornsby (I've always liked his style) Guitar(s): Eric Clapton and Eric Johnson (does it really matter who's lead or rhythm?) Bass: Les Claypool (so creative) Vocalist: Seal (smooth and soulful) Dont know what they would sound like but would likely be unique. Know thyself. Socrates |

RE: FANTASY BANDS
Hmmm, let's see, gotta' have 2 drummers, 2 guitarists, a bass player, singer, and keyboards...how's this for a mismatched group?
Stuart Copeland-Drums Neil Peart-Percussion Ace Frehley-Rhythm Guitar Steve Vai-Lead Guitar Les Claypool-Bass Guitar Keith Emerson-Keyboards Geoff Tate-Vocals Not sure what it'd sound like, but I bet they would JAM! "Rollin' numbers, rock-n-rollin', got my Kiss records out!" |
