You take over for one band member..any band who do you become?

[cyclone24 1,913]

Wife and i went to the Tom Petty concert last night had this debate....

 

If you had all the abilities to do so...whose job in a band would you take?

 

Dead or alive is fine. So if you wanted to be Glen Frey of the eagles, or def leppards drummer, etc.

We went to both their shows at Red Rocks last week. Joe Walsh was amazing. As a TP homer I'd probably replace Scott Thurston. I couldn't in good conscience take over anyone else's role in the band (maybe Steve Ferrone) but it would be cool to be up there with Petty, Campbell, Benmont, and Ron.

Easy gig in the land. never have to work

[peenie 1,915]

Slash

[Cruzer 1,995]

My musical man crush, Sting.

[cyclone24 1,913]

If im looking at it from purely a...umm...physical "exercise" point of view....maybe JT or Bruno Mars might be a better choice...for my social agenda.

Damn, didn't even think about JT - he'd be a damn good one too... The dude can hit any hot piece on the planet and loves golf.

Depends on the baggage, but from a music career/fame/longevity/fun on tour etc perspective I'd probably go Adrian Smith or Dave Murray from Maiden.

[Hardcore troubadour 15,438]

If it's about chicks, I would think taking Tommy Lees or Vince Neils place during the Crue years would top the list.

Hell, even Mick Mars.

 

those scraps would have been mighty fine

Please replace Janick Gers instead so that we no longer have to watch him flinging his guitar around like a 80s hair band idiot. Just play the damn thing like Murray and Smith.

[Cloaca du jour 2,150]

Rod Stewart

Lee had prime years Heather Locklear and Pam Anderson. I'm going with him. Or one of the roadies. Either way, I'm getting more ass than I got as me.

[Meglamaniac 510]

In his prime

David Lee Roth

[patweisers44 846]

I guarantee Sux would go with Michael Starr, the lead singer from Steel Panther. And that would be a pretty damn good answer.

[mobb_deep 920]

Maynard James Keenan. The greatest rock vocalist since Ronnie James Dio.

 

ETA: Mike Patton a close second.

Yeah, I was thinking this, or James Hetfield. Metallica has done some really interesting musical exploration over the years, it would be fun to be a part of that.

[patweisers44 846]

I would go with John Bonham, minus the choking on my own vomit.

And not be there for Number of the Beast?

 

No way

[vuduchile 1,945]

George Harrison.

 

The chance to collaborate with Lennon and McCartney, and the opportunity to sing a song or two from time to time would suit me just fine.

[crackattack 520]

Eddie Vedder

Good point. Maybe if you replace Adrian Smith you would never leave the band so we wouldn't be subjected to Gers today?

[parrot 789]

Slash

 

[rholio 339]

Agree on Slash. Play when you want, with pretty much anyone you want.

[mobb_deep 920]

He's not even a great guitar player though... IDGI.

[vuduchile 1,945]

Slash would have to deal with Axl. That can't be too fun for anyone.

Rick Allen is still alive... I think you are talking about Steve Clark...
