if there was a band with a you clone on drums, a clone singing, clone on guitar... etc,
 
what would the band sound like?
 
mine would probalby sound like a mix between Pavement and 'Fish Rising' and 'L' by steven hillage. except the guitar playing would sound more like syd barretts and john faheys (as ive been told).
 
 daevid allens gong would have alot of influence too.

Well, as a songwriter, if you are asking what my influences are - and thus what a band with me playing all instruments and singing would sound like - my strongest influences are (in no particular order) Genesis, 10CC, Klaatu and Elton John, with a dash of a few others.
 
Peace.

Well, I sing, play keyboards and dabble on the drums, so I'd probably sound like one of the italian bands inspired by ELP. but I'd really wanna sound like nothing ever done before, of course..

Mine would be John Weathers on drums, Geddy Lee/Mike Gordon on bass, Rick Wright on keys and guitar is just all over the place from Billy Corgan to Eric Clapton to David Gilmour to Fripp...

I would say a cross between Floyd and Rush with Gentle Giant drumming.

I don't know which style we would play but knowing my skills as a musician there would be good Pink Floyd-style guitar playing, basic bass and keyboards, bad drumming and really awful singing.

I would be the free jazz icons Peter Brotzmann Sextet, but with some more lyrical sections during which I'd like to sound somewhat like Eric Dolphy, and possibly with Alexander von Schlippenbach on piano in lieu of Fred Van Hove.

A band of mes would have a good solid rhythm section, but a guitar player who could only played G, A, C and D, a keyboard player who only knew major chords and a singer who couldn't really sing.

I don't know what a band of "me's" would sound like but they'd be five very sexy and handsome SOB's!

I haven't heard you guys playing (or your clones), so I can't say whether or not you (or your clones) really sound like the musicians mentioned, but with me it comes down to what I'd like to sound like, what I think I sound like when listening to myself play, and what I really sound like.

As a band of mes I'd like to have the virtuosity of, oh, say ELP, in my deranged head I think my mes sound is closer to the Sex Pistols, but mes would really sound like a preschooler music class -- minimes hehe  (and yes, that is a step or two down from The Sex Pistols).

I am a bad multi-instrumentalist, though I do play a pretty mean kazoo... Any prog kazoo ensembles out there?

At the moment my preferences are all over the place (metal, symphonic, neo jazz etc etc) so any band were I play all instruments will probably be just as eratic.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Having done a lot of my own stuff, (playing guitars, bass, keys and programming drums) I'm surprised by how my own music sounds, like a cross between Pink Floyd and Radiohead with a dash of (Bladerunner era) Vangelis thrown in. Weirdly I can also detect bits of CSNY and a lot of acoustic Led Zepp and some modern electronica in there too...
I say sounds like, but it doesn't really as I conspicuously lack any real talent whatsoever.... LOL

I'd probably end up sounding something like Porcupine Tree with less metal because I listen mostly to psychedelic and progressive rock.

Atmospheric. There would be a huge emphasis on the vocals, and in terms of skill I wouldn't be the greatest player in the world, if you know what I mean. Our playing wouldn't SUCK, but you know what I mean. I would try too be very free with my music. I would most always be bound too a darker feel, but I wouldn't be stuck being depressing. I'd try too make a nice happy song with a good little twist too make it my own and uniqe.

I think for a while I'd try maybe too hard too mix an electronic and acoustic sound. There would be no really simple songs. The songs that would be written pretty simply would become complex from attempts of using different effects.

The studio would be hard, I'd be spending too long too write fifty different versions of one song too see which both conveys the mood, and works with the flow of the album.

At least, thats just what I think Id' do.

mmm, I should clone myself...LOLLOLLOLLOL

First of all, I would clone myself alot so I can have like 3 or 4 bands.

The first one will be ver Godspeed you black emperor-esque. Very moody,very emotional, very tragic with some voice overs like them and very epic too.

The second one could be an Avant garde one with influences ranging from Taal to noise from the streets and so on with some very goofy vocals screaming nonesense and yuxtaposing strange words ect.

The third one will sound like a psychedelic one with some very good canterbury humour and maybe at times. the vocalist at certain songs narrates stories or just talks the lyrics instead of singing it. Oh! and a sax player for sure. Very Gong-ish

The last one could be an acoustic folk-ish band with flute, bass, classical piano, slow drumming, guitars, nature sounds in the background, birds chirping, harp and other beautiful sounding instruments with some whispery vocals like Toby Driver.



Man. I want to make those bands now Cry

I would have to say:  Terry Bozzio on drums; Tony Levin on bass; and, Steve Stevens on guitar(s)... ... Oh, yeah (forgot):  that is already 'Black Light Syndrome.'

My album would probably have sound like a mix of these albums:
 
Mr. Bungle - Mr. Bungle
Bill Bruford - One of a Kind
Frank Zappa - Joe's Garage
Hatfield and the North - Rotter's Club
King Crimson - Lark's Tongues in Aspic
RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on!
