I'm forced by the terms of my contract with B&B to say Rick Astley.
If you could be a music star for one night on stage.....
- Thread starter Newfie
- Start date
Any member of the Rat Pack in Las Vegas during the 1960s.
Paul McCartney without a doubt.
John Lee Hooker, Tupelo.
When weighed against the promise of the perfect BBS shave, a soul seems a minor thing to give up.Ooooh, sold your soul eh?
Damn!! You beat me to it!!!
Okay then....Dickey Betts......from the same night!!!!
Marty E.
On Stage? Johnny Cash when he kicked out the foot lights of the Grand Ole Opry.
Hmm, hard to choose..
Being Sun Ra onstage in the end of the sixties would be so great.
With the full Arkestra blasting, being the center of a 100-man strong band, Just feeling his (your own...) Universal Sense.
Or Wayne Kramer of the MC5 in 1968 when the madness at the Grande Ballrom burned with its fierces flame.
Or Shakira, but then I'd never make it to the stage, I would've been caught up backstage, constantly dressing & re-dressing myself

Robert Plant or Jimmy Page playing in the early 70's at Madison Square Garden.
Wow, so many choices here. I'd have definitely loved to have been either Robert Plant or Jimmy Page during the Led Zeppelin days. There's also several 1980s metal bands such as Motley Crue, RATT, Poison, Metallica, Megadeth, Bang Tango, Testament, Faster Pussycat, Cinderella, Metal Church - I'd love to be a member of any one of those (FYI, the new Ratt CD, Infestation, that just came out - with original singer Stephen Pearcy - is awesome!) Then there's modern bands I'm really digging like AFI, Chevelle, HIM, From First To Last, All Time Low, Yellowcard, etc.
But I think the one music star I'd most want to be for one night on stage would be Brandon Boyd, along with the rest of his band Incubus. Music and passion? He just gets it. And I want to get it like he gets it.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, circa 1984.
They were unstopable back then. The live shows were full of energy.
It was the music of our lives.
Dam it you beat me to it!
Just for a laugh I would be Nigel Tufnel from Spinal Tap. If I was serious I would probably chose David Gilmore in Pink Floyd.
Till Lindemann, of Rammstein:
