Title: If you could work with ANYONE...
Post by: Nadz1lla on November 21, 2008, 02:40:29 PM
Can be anyone, living or dead, even other BKP forum members. My other thread gave me this idea as I thought about people on here I'd say "yes" to instantly if they took up my vocals offer, hehe...

So, you can take your pick of anyone through history, or indeed the future if there's some child prodigy somewhere who you know will be a legend.

For me it would be Mike Portnoy, as he seems fun to work with and you know he'd be a good guy, not demanding like some kind of "Diva" style artiste, heh.

Then probably Dimebag and Vinnie Paul, for pretty much the same reason as above. And you know there's a party after (and possibly during) every recording session, haha!

Jack Johnson - dunno why, just think it would be cool to sit and lay down some vocal harmonies with him and chill out.

Axl Rose - So I could try and "out-demad" or "out-diva" him. I hear Buckethead tried to do this by demanding he have a human-size chicken coop to record in. Can't remember exactly how that ended apart from that he quit GnR, lol.

From the forum: Defo Dez "Lepersmeesa" and "Nolly", cos I think these guys are Genius riffers, heh.

Kirk hammet, so I could hide his wah.

Matt heafy, so I could knock him out.

James hetfield, cos it would be awesome

Dallas toler wade (Nile), cos he seems cool and is one of the finest metal rhythm guitarists, if not the finest, on the planet

Paul Ryan (Origin) for the same reasons.

Aaron turner to kick back and layer some harmonies and huge buildups over a few joints.

Kerry king to block his trem

Rodrigo y gabriella, for a chill out break and to hit on gabriella

Malmsteen, but only cos I figure he must know some good places to eat.

Paul gilbert, cos he seems really cool AND hes an awesome player.

Tommy emanuel, to sit there and do nothing with my jaw in my lap, reconsidering whether or not I can really consider myself a guitarist at all.

Joe Perry...Cool man....wouldn't drink or do drugs around him

Dave Gilmore..could learn a lot and seems a nice guy..without being an arse(like Townsend)

Ronnie wood and Keith Richards..just because there so rock and roll

The Edge...just to blow up his Delay unit..and see what he really plays like

Angus and Malcome young...again so rock and roll..but would want to dig up Bon to join the jam

Mick Abrahams...great blues guitarist(Jethro Tulls original) met him once..selling cd's at his concert out of a an old brown suitcase, great charactor

Martin Barre..again Tull..great underated guitarist

Alex Liferson..genious guitarist..

All of early kansas(leftoverture line up) and Manfredd Mann's earth band (watch Line up)...prog rock dream with mad hammond backing....

Nickel Creek...for chilling out..but would have to improve greatly at my accoustic work

Serj and Malakian..from system...could be interesting..fun

Dave Grohl...love his music and think would be fun

Josh Homme and Nick oliveri....interesting genious-es ..but more than a little mad

For me it would be Slash.

Just because he was the guy that made me want to play the electric guitar.

really good question! its probably better to say a few.

of course there a more than a few electronic based musicians i'd love to work with (pendulum, the prodigy, kraftwerk, scooter)... but lets concentrate on geeeetar based musicians. naturally i'd like to work with a few friends of mine on musical things, and some BKP forum members for sure, maybe this will even happen relatively soon.

i can play most stuff i want to now - except for outlandish shred action. it only makes sense to work with people who are going to bring an extra musical dimension which you can't add yourself. for this reason i'd really like to work with a shred guitarist who doesn't have a problem with my sound and music style.

for famous players, i reckon uli jon roth and montalo would be pick of my bunch, but just to nab some of their moves mostly. i suppose i would prefer to be appearing on one of their tracks rather than them on mine though. maybe those two answers would be better suited to a different question - who do you want a celebrity guitar lesson from

vocalists: klaus meine, inspecta deck (wu tang clan), and cascada

perhaps even michael jackson, before he went strange

I'm guessing this ignores actual guitar skills - so..

Paul Gilbert,

And to be honest I've been sitting here for 15 minutes and I can't think of anyone else. Probably just with the guys in the bands I listen to, All Shall Perish, Unearth, Parkway Drive, etc.

And anyone on the forum.

Larry Carlton for me !  :D

Not only would I learn a lot that would help me develop  -  but he also gently encourages his band members to express their own voice, often leaving big gaps in the song for others to fill whilst he stops to listen.  He has reinstated subtle comping  / rhythm playing to a fine art  and remains a true ensemble player . He also has the reputation of being a really nice guy.  

There is also the fact that although he is a sight reader, composer, arranger , keyboard player - and has been a scorching Jazz / Country / Blues / Rock player and top notch session man ; - he is now ( at 60 years old ) on that Zen like journey back to simplicity as exemplified by his tour with The Sapphire Blues Band.  In addition to his own merits, you would also get the definitive relaying of what he learnt from Joe Pass and B.B.King as past mentors.


In second place, it would be Snowy White - for much the same reasons.  This would have  the additional value  of being given the insight as to what a man often called upon by Pink Floyd / Dave Gilmour / Roger waters needs to know for the session.

Just the chaps to hang out with in my book ...  8)

OK, Rush.

Because (a) they're awesome and (b) they seem like people I could get on with.

Don't know what the hell I'd be doing though.  Making the tea and emptying the bins?  :?

I do like the sound of some of their tour activities. Learning to roller skate and taking part in radio controlled races - sounds geeky and right up my street!

Ronnie Lane, John Lennon, George Harrison, Mick Taylor, Eric Clapton & Johnny Mac.

I don't think they look all that similar, but they both have that awesome dark hair/dark eyes Spanish look about them.  Works for me!  Penelope's just a wee bit too tall (he says, like he can afford to be picky...  :roll: :roll: :roll: ).

For me, I think that it would be Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce - just jamming along with these guy would be awesome.  I'd like to play with Stuart Copeland too - my fav drummer of all time, but I don't know who would complement him on bass... Sting is the obvious choice, but I'm not sure I'd want to jam with him, as such...

Actually, I think that you could add Jooles Holland into the mix too.  That would be a jam!  Me, Jooles, Ginger, Jack and Stuart!
