whitefang Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 This was something started in the Epiphone forum, only there it's called "Imaginary bands". I thought a slight difference in name would be prudent. I think we did somethinglike this here already, by the memory is foggy.... No "fast and hard" rules here. The line-ups can be any genre and contain musicians still alive or gone from us. I'll kick off with ONE of mine..... ROCK: JOHNNY WINTER--guitar(lead), vocals SAMMY HAGAR--rhythm guitar, vocals MARK ANDES--bass GREG ROLIE--keys DENNIS THOMPSON--drums Whitefang Quote I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left!

whitefang Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 I don't understand the reaction. Weinberg is an excellent drummer. And as for "fantasy" bands, you can pick who you wish.

Dannyalcatraz Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Max IS excellent, but hes not a true jazz drummer. Hess more of a rock guy who occasionally dips a toe into jazz. Especially in his work as a late-night talk show drummer. But I think hes got the skills, and his different perspective on percussion would make for an interesting challenge for HIM and would make those others think & play differently as well.

whitefang Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 I didn't know there was a specific genre of music known as "Australian"! Whitefang Quote I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryz Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 It's not an "Australian" genre Fang. All of the performers are female Australians...I'm thinking JuJu meant Tal Wilkenfeld for the bass (as I couldn't find Thai Wakefield) Quote Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuJu Kwan Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Correct Larryz, and I'll blame auto correct for to spelling Tai wrong. They are also all 32 or younger. Ì Thought us younger people needed some representation. Whitefang: Aboriginal Australian and Torres Islander Music. Not what my fantasty band was, but that is Australian Music. Also called Indigenous Australian Music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryz Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I'm not familiar with Stella and Delta JuJu. But, I have seen Tal playing with Jeff Beck, and she's a super talent on the bass. And, I've seen Orianthi playing with Steve Vai and she's a super talent on the guitar! some really Great talent down under!

JuJu Kwan Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Stella is or was with Warpaint, a LA based band. Delta is more of a Pop, Pop Rock vocalist. She doesn't necessarily fit with the others, who are more Rock, but she has a great voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitefang Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 CRIPES!( or, should that be "CRIKEY"? ) I kinda figured what you were meaning JuJu, but I was just havin' a bit of fun pokin' your ribs. Thought that "wink" emoticon would have made that plain. Let's not get all "facebook" in here..... And "mixing" artists from differing genres is OK. It's "fantasy", remember.... I've done that too, in a couple of mine. Whitefang Quote I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danzilla Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I think this group could put out some great jazz-inflected prog rock, even some classical pieces; but get heavy when needed: Drums: Ian Mosley (Marillion) Bass/Stick: Tony Levin (King Crimson/Peter Gabriel/etc.) Guitars: Kamran Allan Shikoh (Glass Hammer) Keyboards: Andy Tillison (The Tangent) Vocals: Leslie Hunt (District 97) Violin: David Ragsdale (Kansas) Quote "Am I enough of a freak to be worth paying to see?"- Separated Out (Marillion) NEW band Old band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitefang Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 Although the whole idea is "fantasy" line-ups, and there's no need or purpose in "critiquing" anyone's choices, I'll only say that so far i've found no reason to "eyeroll" any of the choices. It's just too bad there's not going to be any CDs of any of them coming our way.... Whitefang Quote I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left!

JuJu Kwan Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I'm reading a book called Backbeat, Earl Palmer' s story. The book was recommended to me, by a forum member, as a history of Rock music. Earl career spaned from the late 40s to the 90s and he worked with a who's who of recording artists. So with 100s to choose from I'm going to attempt to name an Earl Palmer All star fantasy band. In order get a few more people included I've added a few category. James Brown: Male vocalist Barbara streisand: Female vocalist Jan and Dean: Vocal duo The Ronnettes: Vocal group The Everly Brothers: Guitar (I couldn't pic just 1 so!) Bonnie Raitt: Guitar Little Richard: Keyboards Brian Wilson: Bass Earl Palmer: Drums (The only easy choice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
