Jode Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 I just heard an old Chicago song on the radio, and I was grooving to Peter Cetera's bassline, and then it occurred to me what a milquetoast pop loser he later became. (A duet with Amy Grant? Puh-leeeeze.) SO I had an idea: an all-star lineup of musicians who once made their marks with great bands, really distinguishing themselves on their instruments, who later became total limp-dick "adult contemporary" singers. So far I have the rhythm section: Phil Collins on drums, Peter Cetera on bass, and Lionel Richie on keys. Any other suggestions? "I had to have something, and it wasn't there. I couldn't go down the street and buy it, so I built it." Les Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YourMotherShouldKnow Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 As much as I love Jimmy Page's guitar playing, that thing he did with P Diddy was hard to watch. I didn't want to live in a universe where that kinda thing happened. :D However, that's probably a better decision than the decision to become hooked on heroin.

Jode Posted November 16, 2003 Author Share Posted November 16, 2003 You're missing the point, guys. Individual sellouts, not whole bands. Typically, people who left good bands to go and suck on their own. "I had to have something, and it wasn't there. I couldn't go down the street and buy it, so I built it."

Base Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Much as I hate to say it, Brian May after he played on Five's (shitty brit boyband for those of you lucky enough to live in places uninfected by their drivel) cover of one of Queen's songs. Roger Taylor did too so I guess you could count him as well. Why, why, why would they do this?!? We could have had a whip round if they were that short of cash?!?!

Ed A. Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Kenny G. on sax. About 20 years ago, I saw the Jeff Lorber Fusion at Toad's Place in New Haven and Ken Gorlick (now know as Kenny G.) played some pretty good solos, much more like Wayne Shorter than the fairy boy stuff he plays today. And let's not forget Michael Bolton, aka Michael Boloton, when he was singing for hard rock bands in Long Island. A true sell out if there ever was one. I also agree about Peter Cetera, he was an excellent bass player and singer way back on the first several Chicago albums, it's like he's a different person now.

nursers Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 That IS Kevin Costner. He was in A Flock of Seagulls in the 80's, then branched into acting whilst doing the odd solo album with his backing band, the Wilting Teraflops.
