Being in a band with someone from a well known...

[Geek99]

As a game, It’s like “the masked singer” ….but not as good

Looking at the 2022 Rebellion line up, there may not be any traditional punkyness, and people from a band big in the 80's and early 90's may be living in that London now, so not necessarily a London band.

Bearing in mind the size of venues, I'm gonna plump for Billy Duffy (coz Ian Astbury lives in LA).

Shane McGowan?

Some innocent readers might think many of this thread's posts are simply guesses.
They are not.
They are bits of serious advice for the ambitious musicians amongst us.

Lopping initial Sweaters used to be a hobby of mine... until the kids got to that 'impressionable age'. Now all I've got left is drinking, bass playing and shouting at the kids (I'm only kidding about the last two, I'm a terrible bassist and the wife shouts at the kids for me!).

I have a couple of band mates who were known in the 80s / 90s and apart from the odd story about touring with bigger bands, these days it means nothing (to them) as we're all at the same level now. Both are very pro and very down to earth to work with.

Reading these comments reminded me that my old band were headhunted by a singer some years ago from a big music movie. He was looking for a band that could tour his set. He gave us some songs to prep, which we did and arranged a date for a rehearsal. He arrived at rehearsal (late) and was a complete ar*e the whole time he was there. I don't think we would have lasted more than one gig before someone punched his lights out. It was clear that it was not going to happen, with us at least and he left not to be heard of again. I saw a flyer not so long ago for him and his show at the o2, so he's still going somehow.

He's wheelchair-bound, I think.

Do it, at least once. Life's too short not to. It'll be a story either way.

 

Go on, who is it?

I just saw that Wayne is doing a new tour with the Mission.

The OP says "take up bass duties in a band fronted by someone from a band I adored"

That suggest the  person is not going out under the same band name.

Therefore it can't be Wayne Hussey.
