leschirons Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) Sorry if this has been done before but I did search. You know that fantasy that most of us have probably had where (normally at the start of a playing career) you imagine that Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten, Mark King, Roger Glover, Chris Squire or whoever, has slammed their hand in the limo door and the MD shouts out "is there anybody here that can play......." That number that you've nailed because you just love it. Hard or simple, doesn't matter. Just that dream song that you'd love to play with THAT band, on stage, and get to be the hero. Out of interest, mine's Danger, breakdown dead ahead by Bozz Scaggs. Edited December 5, 2019 by leschirons 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 If Robbie Shakespeare wasn’t available, it would be my dream to play any Black Uhuru song, with sly Dunbar, who in my opinion is the best reggae drummer ever, the headline would read , Sly & Tony 😀 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viz the bass job it would probably be standing in for Bootsy on Up For The Down Stroke by Parliament. Why? cos it's a tune that's as funky as f*** 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 'Smoke On The Water' for me. I'd have to climb into a time machine to 1972. though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Blimey, so many to choose from. It would have to be something / someone really important for me from all the years I've been in bands, so probably 'Honky Tonk Woman' with the Stones, just to play with Charlie and Keith in particular. Failing that, playing anything with Bruce Springsteen / Steve Van Zandt / Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes would be great, as I could probably wing most of their tunes without too much trouble!

Lozz196 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Probably be Holidays in The Sun by The Sex Pistols. Great song, and a chance to sing the cracking backing vocals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was difficult to choose from the album (my favourite of all time) but Poptones... I just love that bassline so much, definitely formative and hugely influential on my playing.
