Let's Talk - The Perfect Band For You!

[Bill SAS 513]

As a bassist: The initial answer for True Musical Fit, per my style, would be Lynyrd Skynyrd / Bad Company / Styx / Queen
(And John Deacon is INCREDIBLY Underrated as a bassist!!!) Some of his bass lines hurt my fingers.

Now, I can fake my way through at least 1 minute of EVERY Rush tune, but then that Geddy guy does sumtin stoooopid with the bass.

 

[Prs Mods too]

This:

 

[21Hemispheres12]

This will be surprising, but Rush for me. I’ll also throw in a more obscure band called Vola, I enjoy making djenty riffs and they really excel at that but in a more catchy way.

 

[ElrytNamrogo]

I would've really liked to be a part of Porcupine Tree. Their music encompasses so much variety, time signatures, and genre style. All of which I could see myself and my music style being in good company.

 

[Rod/]

Wow, this group of guitarists is all over the map of musical genres…….

 

[Alnus Rubra]

Free, Queen, Whitesnake (1), Bryan Adams (early stuff), ZZ top…..

This:

I hope this was on purpose! Or they had smoked a foot long doob.

I could totally handle Slayer’s tour and recording schedule now.

I had you figured for Parliament-Funkadelic. But they're from Detroit, so...

I just picked Slayer because they’ve called it quits too.

 

[László]

I suppose I'm a bit of an outlier,

London Symphony. As a dreamer-composer, they're the right orchestra for me. But as a real-life composer they'd never play my work in a billion zillion years.

Hey. I'm working on making the compositions better. But it's still NEVER gonna happen.

As a guitar player, my best fit would be The Allman Brothers. Unfortunately, they'd probably stick me on keyboards.

I'm a person of unrequited dreams...

I picked the Allmans for pretty much the same reason.

 

[sergiodeblanc]

I picked the Allmans for pretty much the same reason.

I really really love your old bandmate’s son’s band Tuxedo.

I was hella envious of the dude that they got to play guitar for them, but when I saw them… dude did such a great job, I wouldn’t wanna replace him.

Are these your favorite bands or the bands that line up with your actual playing style?

Yes. I play Hendrix and Trower and lots of other stuff, but the stuff I played the most was Van Halen, Ozzie, Rush and Mahogany Rush, and others in those veins. I played lots of Black Sabbath, and Johnny Winter and Whitesnake and all kinds of other stuff. But the ones that influenced MY style the most when I wasn't playing someone elses music, was those first 4.

5440
Tom Petty
Tragically Hip

 

[Birdsofprey]

Boston, Rush, Maiden, and Black Star Riders. Love the twin guitar solos so I guess I should also say Wishbone Ash.

 

[veinbuster]

Maybe Keith Urban or Zac Brown.

So did KISS and many others so you never know. Maybe they are giving you the time you need to get up to speed with their set list.

We all can play a lot of things but I am talking about your genuine, true guitar style. Not if you can pull off Crazy Train. Iommi wouldn't fit with Rush. Randy wouldn't fit with Johnny winter. Hendrix wouldn't fit with Whitessnake, etc. Dig deeper grasshopper, what band is your perfect fit?

 

[Tony M.]

In no particular order:
San Francisco late '60s.

Big Brother & the Holding Company.
Quicksilver Messenger Service.
Jefferson Airplane.

(No, I don't sound even remotely British.)

I have always wanted to be in a Spyro Gyra type band
I love that stuff but quite frankly, I lack the chops to play it well.

 

[Bogner]

This:

Very convincing...

 

[theDeepender]

Very convincing...

Well, that’s painful…
