Dinner with... (blues, rock, genre, jimi hendrix, Cobain)

Husky McDump · 03-27-2009, 09:29 PM

If you could choose one person, dead or alive, to have lunch with to discuss music, who would it be?

For me: Issac Brock from Modest Mouse

Phew,

That's a pretty tough decision to make, there are just so many people that revolutionised music through different genres. Mhmm, just thinking about some of the cool things you could hear talking with the dead like Hendrix, Lennon or Cobain. Still as cool as it would be to talk to the dead and famous I think my username sums up who I'd most like to have a conversation with.

I would probably choose to have a dinner with Devin Townsend. He is one of my favourite musicians and a huge influence not only on the style of music I play, but also on my personality.

However if we were allowed to choose fictional characters I would totally have dinner with Spider Jerusalem from the comic series "Transmetropolitan"... I mean he's a futuristic Hunter S. Thompson armed with a gun that makes you **** yourself, what's not to like?

J Dilla, Bill Hicks, Fyodor, John D. MacDonald, Robert E. Howard, Rory Gallagher, Stiv Bators . . . the list is very long.

Jimi Hendrix, Tim Sult From Clutch, Brent Hinds, Paul Waggoner, or Eric Johnson.

except instead of dinner it'd be getting a few beers or something

Elliot Smith seems like an interesting guy, but there's always Kurt Kobain or J Mascis just cuz I love his stuff, Tupac would be great, but altogether I would say Robert Johnson. He's a great early blues artist and seems like an interesting fella.

I'll have more later.

I guess I could spruce up this thread a bit.

Also post what age you would want to interview them.

For me: Issac Brock during the release of Building Nothing Out of Something (22 I believe). I think that at this age Issac started to contemplate life, death and everything in between. He would be great.

Hendrix in his early to mid 20s, and the rest at their age now
