Another part of me also wanted to be a smartass and just say Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band for the whole thing and call it at that. Quote

Another part of me also wanted to be a smartass and just say Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band for the whole thing and call it at that. I have the same feelings about Rush, ELP, The Who, CSNY (as pointed out, already a supergroup), The Beatles, and The Allman Brothers Band. Would I really substitute anyone else into one of those slots? Quote
FogBat Posted March 16, 2020 Report Posted March 16, 2020 This thread is quite revealing. Most of the posters are showing their age - and expertise. I have to be in the right mood to get into Classic Rock, or any other musical genre for that matter. Having said that, I couldn't believe it when I heard that Caress of Steel nearly killed Rush as a band. Quote

Truth is, if he wanted to, Prince could have been the best on all instruments. But, since I decided to post, I will modify the question with those I’ve seen. Justin Hayward Eric Clapton Joe Strummer Billy Sheehan Carl Palmer Producer Todd Rundgren Love the Billy Sheehan vote!

DarthEbriate Posted March 16, 2020 Report Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Can this new band be one of those overstocked acts with two drummers, four guitarists, a percussionist, some keyboard players, a keytar synth player, a backing vocal section, and horn section and string quartet on occasional numbers? And does this band write its own material? Edited March 16, 2020 by DarthEbriate Quote

Better story about Stage One, I ran in their one night to grab some Mighty’s and about 50 people were in their listening to some new band doing maybe their tenth Anerican show. I think their lead singer went by Sting...... Quote

His wife was there playing pong with Bono the night John Lennon was killed. Quote
French Collection Posted March 17, 2020 Report Posted March 17, 2020 There are many to choose from but... Lead vocals: Freddie Mercury Lead guitar: Eddie Van Halen Rhythm Guitar: Malcolm Young Drums: Neil Peart Bass: John Entwistle Keyboards and backup vocals: Burton Cummings Quote

I wonder if we’re talking about the same thing. I saw The Police at UB’s Main Street campus in the old gymnasium. The gym had that old school, high school style, layout with an elevated wooden stage at one end. I had my arms crossed, tilted upward, with my upper arms resting on the stage lip. Sting and the band were a few feet away. My memory has this happening Nov Dec of 1980 ... perhaps a tour 18 months after your sighting. I was hooked. Later that school year, same “seat”, and The Stray Cats. What a magical time. Quote
