haha. Good post. I liked the one with the battle of the Steves on guitar (there are so many steve guitarists.) How bout for bass:

Shulman vs. Lake

Hmm. I would say Shulman probably would win. Close one though.

Actually I would rather see Robby take on Don Kirshner.

Fripp vs. Mel Collins, Ian McDonald, David Cross, Peter Sinfield. Boz Burrell

Idk I would just enjoy all those Crimson members past beating the crap out of Fripp for the hell he put them through and the way he treated them

just now I have a mental image of Anderson pirouetting over and over from a blast by Hammill.



Jon Anderson might have an airy-fairy image, BaldJean, but by all accounts he is a bit 'harder' than many suspect.

He used to be a lorry driver in the north of England, after all, and the story goes he decided to become a singer while delivering beer crates at the Cavern in Liverpool and seeing the Beatles. In the early days of Yes he was dubbed 'The Hippie with the Iron Hand' because of his dictatorial attitude.

He also spent several years playing on the German gig circuit in the mid-60s and from what I've read that wasn't a place for the faint-hearted.

So actually Hamill vs Anderson might not be the walkover you would think - although Anderson might need ear plugs to cope with the Hammill caterwaul.

At least it would probably be a bit closer than Sean (chicken) Trane against your sister's 6'6" decathlete boyfriend (see multiple identities thread)

I guess Fripp vs. Hackett wouldn't work since neither would leave their seat in the corner.

His ass? Buggles is two people and Jon Anderson is only small, so he wouldn't stand much of a chance. I also reckon he wouldn't hit someone wearing glasses.

smart ass!!
