What bands would you like to see formed? Living members only of course. No corpses allowed on stage.

Paul McCartney's output degenerated almost immediately to middle of the road pop after he left the Beatles. Here's three suggestions for gigs which would in all probability revitalize his career:

Johnny Rotten - Lead Vocals
Steve Jones - Guitar
Paul McCartney - Bass & Backing Vocals
Paul Cook - Drums


We could call the band the Sex Pistols. It would provide Paul McCartney with the opportunity to get out there and kick some ass after so many years of being one of her majesty's gentle knights. God Save the Queen anyone?

Or Paul might consider this gig:

Mick Jagger - Lead Vocals & Harmonica
Keith Richards - Guitar
Ron Wood - Guitar
Paul McCartney - Bass & Backing Vocals
Charlie Watts - Drums


Methinks that the Rolling Stones would be a good name for the above ensemble. The Stones do need an old Brit of some sort on bass.

Paul certainly wouldn't get the deferential treatment that has been the major contributing factor to his musical stagnation since 1970 from either of the two above ensembles.

A final suggestion for Paul is this band:

Mick Taylor - Lead Guitar
Julian Lennon - Rhythm Guitar
Paul McCartney - Bass & Lead Vocals
Ringo Starr - Drums


The Beatles with a defrocked Rolling Stone in tow! Imagine how cool that would be!

Finally, I hear Led Zeppelin needs a lead singer. The old fossil that did that chore with them some time back in the seventies can no longer hit those high notes it seems. Oh well. He can be replaced.

Here then is my new Led Zeppelin:

Avril Lavigne - Lead Vocals & Rhythm Guitar
Jimmy Page - Lead Guitar
John Paul Jones - Bass & Keyboards
Jason Bonham - Drums


Avril would receive a musical education - and in return I'm sure she could find a way to amuse the old fellows (now that she's single again of course).

So who then would you like to see get together in a band?

Maybe if all of the members of Fleetwood Mac... back to the Peter Green days, plus Bob Welch. That could be interesting.

I'm a huge fan of the Peter Green variant of Fleetwood Mac!

If Ronnie Wood fails to dry out enough for the tour on which the Rolling Stones plan to embark in 2010, I'd like to see this lineup:

Mick Jagger - Lead Vocals & Harmonica
Jeff Beck - Lead Guitar
Keith Richards - Rhythm Guitar
Jack Bruce - Bass & Backing Vocals
Charlie Watts - Drums


Jeff Beck would fill in very nicely for Ron Woods. Not only is Jeff a living legend of a guitar player, he was very seriously considered as a potential Stone in 1975. And the Stones absolutely, positively need an old Brit for the bass slot and I don't know of anyone who would fit that niche better than Jack Bruce.

:heheh:

In case the other members of Zep can't quite get up for having Avril Lavigne as their lead singer, Marion Raven would be another credible candidate for the slot:

John Paul Jones - Bass & Keyboards

I saw Terry Bozzio playing with Jeff Beck in the early nineties and he was great!

Clearly Terry doesn't subscribe to Charlie Watts' theory of the simpler, the better when it comes to drum kits.

But what would you call those bands?
