Shaggy Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Anything with The Runaways........ Or more to the point; "Love will tear us apart " with Joy Division. Not because it's a great bassline, but just to be in that time with that band with that song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minus the bass player, obviously. 5 hours ago, mikel said: Well....as the op was "What song would you play with the ORIGINAL band..." Unless I wanted to stand next to Chris, and play note for note, he would have to sit that song out. As would every other bassist on the songs people have chosen. I think we are all aware when Mr Squire died. Its a fantasy thread, dont start getting literal. That's a relief. I no longer feel obliged to point out that Close To The Edge was not played by the original Yes but by a later incarnation. On no ... wait a minute ...

It’s bloody crazy isn’t it, just wish I had been able to see them live. I know they weren’t the best band technically but you know it would have been an experience!

FinnDave Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I'd like to do something by the Dead, but the thought of Phil Lesh watching me would put me right off! Perhaps White Rabbit with the Airplane, I used to play that with Jenny Haan, one gig we had to play it three times before they let us get off stage! That or Move Over with Janis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christhammer666 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Anything with Motorhead or Orion with metallica on their 86 tour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4000 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) I think Dancing Queen by ABBA, or possibly Supper's Ready by Genesis circa Seconds Out, or Comfortably Numb by Floyd. Or maybe Ice by Camel (in the case of Floyd and Camel I'd get to listen to my 2 favourite guitarists at their absolute peak). I'd have said Awaken by Yes but the thought of hearing Yes without Chris - even though that is now the case - is just unfeasible to me. Playing onstage with ABBA, particularly in their heyday, would be like all my Christmases coming at once. Or anything at all with Stevie Nicks or with Kate Bush would be amazing because I love them both. Edited February 21, 2018 by 4000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Browning Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Ah yes. If the question was 'which is the video you'd appear in if you could' it would be Don't Give Up without question - and yes, I'd be Peter Gabriel!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit I'd originally asked the question in the context of the song not the band, but am seeing quite another angle now All joking aside, I've always loved the bass part to Name of the Game. ABBA's bassist on those early tracks was outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4000 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Just to be clear, I actually decided on ABBA, Stevie & Kate because I adore them as artists and they have all written and recorded many of my absolute favourite songs of all time. Stevie and Kate are arguably my all-time favourite solo artists, as well as Stevie being in one of my all-time favourite bands. ABBA are certainly in my top 2 or 3 bands of all time - and may be at the top - hence the choice. The fact that Stevie, Kate, Agnetha and Frida all happen to be fairly easy on the eye is just a lucky bonus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of taking things to the extreme. Men will always look at good looking women and women will always look at good looking men. That's life and that's how we generally meet our partners or wives in life usually because you are attracted to them. And i have to admit to thinking similar thoughts to you but you beat me to the comment. It wasn't offensive in my opinion. Dave NB How do you get the name tabs highlighted on your post. ?

Geek99 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 well, if I'd said "phwoarr nice ti..."

Spanish Moon with Little Feat, Cissy Strut with the Meters and Sex Machine with James Brown. Superb - I'm listening to Stretch your Rubber Band as I read this, which I'd choose especially if I could play George Porter Jr's P: Also the live version of Orgone Accumulator from Hawkwind's Space Ritual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
