Speaking of Rick Danko, I'll also have to add Richard Manuel on piano and vocals.
Now, let's hope we won't have to edit this list for any more inclusions in the near future. |

Elvis Presley - lead vocals.
No rock n roll singer ever came close as a vocalist |
|
|
| The Eggman |
Only if he sang "BURNING LOVE" then Elvis would be the lead singer
lol |

Hey, you gotta have Janis Joplin on backing vocals. Jerry Garcia on lead guitar. Elvis doing a rousing verson of "Redhouse" now that would be interesting! |

yes, my thoughts exactly. george was also a fabulous lead guitar player, in his own right, so its not fair to leave him off the lead list, either. i guess these guitar players could trade off playing lead/rhythm as desired, bounce off each other.. what a phenomenal jam session that would be!

Great additions!! My line-up was made based on George's friends in real life, and musicians on the same cultural scenario.
Great addition Rick Danko and Richard Manuel, they fit very well. Of course we can change George Harrison and Jerry Garc�a to the lead guitars, but just see the lead guitars up there, to be honest they are great, maybe we can also put Terry Kath to rhythm and all guitars just as "guitars"
Janis Joplin doing only backing vocals? I didn't mention who is backing and who's leading but is the Heavenly Music Corporation. I can't find better female singers on heaven!
Oh my god just imagine that band! I wanna be there LOL, the problem is that it's only one-way ticket!
And I forgot to mention the lighting and illumination team: Timothy Leary, William Burroughs and Allen Gingsberg. |

What about Randy Rhoads, guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne? He died in a tragic accident, he was very young, but is considered one of the best ever, am I the only one here who like Ozzy/Black Sabbath? |
|
|
| Cardinal Ximinez |
You know, I don't think anyone mentioned Roy Orbison, Eddie Cochran, or sweet Gene Vincent either. Prolly oughta consider those guys.
Milton....do you honestly feel that Randy Rhodes is on the same level as the artists that have been mentioned here? Randy Rhodes could play, but so could lots of others. Randy would not be on my list because I don't think he was a very influential guitar player. He played well, but so does my Uncle. The people who have been mentioned hertofore have all be influential, even legendary. Randy Rhodes is neither of those things. Perhaps if he had lived he would have become those things, but tragically, he died before he could get there. |

I like Black Sabbath/ Ozzy.
Ximey is right about Randy Rhodes though. Perhaps if he lived longer...
I think Ozzy and Keith should do a movie together. Those are two of the most colorfull and quotable characters in Rock.
There'd have to subtitles though. |

| Cardinal Ximinez |
The only people who understand Keefspeak, and Ozzyspeak, are not able to communicate clearly themselves, thus making subtitling nearly impossible. Besides, I think it's more fun to do your own interpretations.
Do you know of a Japanese band called Shonen Knife? Fang and I have been discussing them as of late. They sing in a very thick Nipponese accent. And their phrasing is strange at best. It's fun to try to figure out what the hell they are talking about.

For years I thought this was a filthy, overtly sexual lyric. I was very disappointed when I read the actual lyric. See what I'm saying? Sometimes what we hear is BETTER than what was actually said. Japanese monster movies...I always prefer the unsubtitled, japanese language versions. I like to make up my own dialogue. If it's dubbed English, I just turn the sound off. Invariably, MY dialogue is way better anyway. I swear a lot. |

That reminds me of that show that used to on witht he guy and the two robots that had to watch cheesey sci-fi movies and they'd make fun of them. That was a great one. Mystery Science Theater 2000, I think it was called.
By the way, has anyone seen that new Bowling show on Comedy channel? I think I ruptured a testicle watching that last night.
'81 tour rules! <---- Required Stones content. |

Mystery Science Theatre 3000 was a fantastic show. FPM, myself, and some of our no good pals used to sit around and watch crappy B movies, and it was EXACTLY like that show, except without the robots. Then MST 3000 came on and we were really pissed off because we had been doing that show for YEARS without getting paid! Still, they showed some really awful movies, and for that we were grateful. You see I'm from the "It's so bad that it's good" mold.
I've seen that bowling show a couple of times, but South Park and The Man Show blow it out of the water, IMO.
The '81 tour does rock. To bad the concert film documenting it sucks so bad. It wasn't the Stones fault. Hal Ashby was a dickhead. He singlehandedly RUINED what should have been an epic film. If I ever meet the SOB, I'm gonna deck him. |

I saw Keith Moon at " Charlestons " last night . He was sitting up at the bar talking to the bartenders and drinking Brandy Alexanders . Trust me , when you " Hang " with Keith you usually end up with a very substantial hangover the next morning .
Keith Moon was by far the greatest drummer who ever walked this orb ...........Well , Buddy Rich was not bad .

Yeah me and my friend should sue Beavis and Butthead for ripping off our days of sitting around making fun of music video's. But what are ya gonna do....
Man Show is awesome but no South park blows. I tried to like it too. Although Towely was very funny. "wanna get high".
That Bowling Show is getting funnier and funnier each time out though.
