Singer -Thom Yorke
Guitarist - Jimi Hendrix
Guitarist 2 -Kevin Siields
Bass - Jah Wobble
Drums - Keith Moon
Keyboards - Lee Perry
Strings - Warren Ellis

Fire away then,whats yours.

Interviewer. "Myrand??":confused:
Wakeman, "I'll have a double scotch, thanks very much":D
I remember that sceal from an old Melody Maker. He was notorious for that scam.
I'm surprised nobody has put Philip Lynott in any of their bands....
eh..........he's dead.Quote:

KEYBOARDS - Andy Barlow or Gary Numan
LYRICS - Ian McCulloch, plus a few songs by Nicky Wire
Jaysus, I'm even further off the planet than usual today, sligoman. Sorry about that:o :DQuote:

Also, if I'd been fully awake I'd have Rory Gallagher in place of Jan Akkerman.
The most together live band I ever saw were The Silver Bullet Band - they were tighter than a camel's hole in a sandstorm -really tight.
Can't believe you fell for that Hamish, I edited the thread title after it to include the "dead musicians included" bit. Haha, :p.Quote:

Feck it, I was going to say that in my above post that the dead bit wasn't in the title when I first posted - anyway Beeslow are playing Strand Celtic tomorrow in the Connacht Cup and we'll take it out on ye.:DQuote:
