Musicman20 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) Im thinking purely mainstream, because normally I dont stray into pop music, but I must admit this artist always impresses me. Nothing obscure, because lets face it, normally I would just want to be in a band that I admire, and they would no doubt be some unknown band that never gets any media attention. Which artist would you like to work with and be part of their live band? Me? Lady GaGa. Edited May 22, 2011 by Musicman20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigster Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I reckon something like Adele or Duffy - nice groove driven soulful stuff - only cos the stuff we play is always so loud!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delberthot Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Without a doubt - The Foo Fighters The chance to play with one of my favourite drummers, Taylor Hawkins. The legendary Pat Smear, Dave Grohl and Chris Shiflet who also plays in another of my favourite bands - Me First and the Gimme Gimmes Hell yeah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawrenceH Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Great thread! But no way would it be Lady Gaga, the Madonna-lite material's sub-average. Prince, if only I had the chops...

And if they said I was rubbish and wouldn't have me, it'd be Metallica. I'd say Iron Maiden as I prefer them musically, and the band members as they come across in interviews etc, but I couldn't replace Steve Harris now could I?

I hear tinie tempah is rolling around with an actual human bassist, since I saw him on jools holland before the album came out I thought that it would be cool to play for him, specially since the drummer is awesome and there is the occasional funky dub piece.

Have you seen Gaga play piano and sing in different styles?! It's quite amazing for a popular artist to A) look so normal as in girl next door and B )be able to write, sing so well and play instruments with that much talent. I didn't think much of her until I started to hear about her past and her musicianship. Edited May 22, 2011 by Musicman20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I would love to play for the James Taylor Quartet, Prince, Louis Benedetti or the Sunburst Band but suspect I'd only disappoint them. Have to make do with Kylie I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBS_freak Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Those in the know would know that Prince would be my top choice but for now Katy Perry will do... hence my Katy Perry choice.
