Which prog band would you join? And why? - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Can or Neu. I could be a multi-instrumentalist doing a bit of this and that or just make extra racket. It would be amazing to see how they worked in the studio and take part in it.

I’d probably join Dream Theater as the new trombonist

It's a nice game, let's say I'd be the top skilled musician I always wanted to be but never was, and even be respected enough to have a proper effect on that band... I'd probably join Tangerine Dream in 1983 (no attempt to mess around with anything they did earlier) and inject some Holger Czukay-type experimental spirit and genius throwing in field recordings, radio snippets, and soundscapes to make the sugar go away and have some more adventure than they had, in my ears, after that time.

Yes, after "Hyperborea" and the live album "Logos" Tangerine Dream are found wanting.

BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue.

As a kid it was to play drums in ELP (this surely doesn't need any explanation although it would be nice if, as well as watching my hero play keyboards, I could also have the talent and ripped physique of Carl Palmer lol). But I am so lazy I would be better off playing drums in AC/DC or ZZ Top LOL

I could try, but she hasn't tweeted since January.

Hi,

None, really.

That's all you had to type. The rest has nothing to do with the object of the thread. And you are correct about the rest of the group not wanting to hear your rants in band practice. The minute you start talking about "hits", there'd be an instantaneous and unanimous ejection vote by the rest of the band. LOL

Hi,

I had more actors and actresses wanting to work with me than you can imagine ... they knew it would be an experience and then some ... but of course, in rock music ... there is no such thing and most bands and kids are not smart enough to know about anything else but 4 beats ... !

Yes, I can see you in an adaptation of Beckett's Waiting for Godot, which would be instead titled "Waiting for the Band" about a lone character sitting in front of his house waiting for the group to come pick him up for their first gig, but the band's van never comes by.

The lone actor then soliloquizes about "hits" and the band "knowing nothing but 4 beats" and how they will amount to nothing but being in a genre on Prog Archives. Unfortunately, the play only lasts one night as the audience leaves about 10 minutes into the actor's rambling rant.

to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I'm still racking my brains, I'm pretty sure there was an obscure 1970's band that used a tuba as a main instrument.

The only band that springs to mind is Sky, with Herbie Flowers playing "Tuba Smarties" on Sky 2 (1980). Smile

Rabhi Abou-Khalil uses tuba a lot, usually played by Michel Godard. here two videos:

Friede and I have been at several concerts of Rabih Abou-Khalil, and they were always a great experience. he is not only a great musician, he has amazing language skills too. he grew up in Beirut and came to Germany at age 21. usually people who learn a language at that age have a heavy accent, but he speaks perfect German without any accent at all (I still have one), and he speaks perfect English and French too.

at his concerts he tells hilarious made-up stories between the songs. so there is a double experience at his gigs
