What is up with this wine and cheese stuff? I mean NO! This is not Rock n Roll. It’s gotta be you basic high energy three chord power rock! You need an all time band like this.

Frontman/Lead vocalist - Bon Scott
Lead Guitarist - Jimi Hendrix
Drummer - Keith Moon
Bassist - Flea
Rhythm Guitarist - Chuck Berry
Key Boardist - Elton John
 
I'd like to create a musical interpretation of AC/DC's Highway to Hell with the following band:


First tambourine player: that little girl from Partridge Family
Second tambourine player: Stevie Nicks
Flute: Ian Anderson
Ukulele: Tiny Tim
Harmonica: Neil Young
Bongos: Armando Peraza
Vocals: Johnny Rotten


: )

I’ve always wondered why you’re a member of JPP. Now I know. That’s just so twisted. Just a suggestion….the little girl from the Partridge family…put her in a school boy outfit and have her play lead banjo and replace first tambourine with Ruby Starr of Black Oak Arkansas.

My band would actually probably sound like fighting cats with that mix of instruments :laugh:

lmao. There is something seriously wrong with you, and that's a good thing.

It's not wine and cheese stuff.
It's the format for 1950s jump blues and 1960s Stax soul.

Your band is certainly great to play what you want to hear,
but I really like horns.

Although come to think of it, although unrelated,
I really do like wine and cheese as well...
but that's for Edith Piaf!:cool:

This is a pretty good approximation for my vision of a medieval folk-rock version of Highway to Hell, it just needs the harmonica and ukulele.

Wow, that would have been a Super Group!

As a vocalist, I have been trying to get my head voice up to the level of Bon Scot. I love to play the great classic songs of AC/DC. The problem is no one can hit those high registers like Bon Scot, and no one would put their vocal chords through that kind of abuse. Bon Scot, was gifted in the fact that, he had the vocal range of women. That is very rare in the world. Not very many men in the world can pull this off. Had Bon lived on, he would eventually come to a point in his life where that would have been even impossible for him to continue in that high range as well, as all men lose their high range eventually, and the power behind it that Bon was so gifted in having.

Just look what happened to Steve Perry. He had to just drop out of the act, because he couldn't do it anymore. It would have eventually happened to Freddie Mercury and Steve Marriot and a lot of other voices of Rock And Roll!

Check out how easy it is for this woman to sing the Bon Scot range! I am so very jealous of this chick!

I don't know Bon Scot but I have seen a picture of the guitarist
playing the cherry red Gibson SG while wearing short pants.

That was the AC/DC ensemble, wasn't it?

Axel Rose has a four octave range, just a bit of trivia.

I never cared for AC/DC.

Personally, I never cared for Axel Rose! :laugh: I was more a fan of the rest of the group though! :good4u:

But, at one time, he was able to sing the female vocal range. That was admirable. I do give him credit for that. But, now that he is over 50, he would struggle to sing those high registers today.

Yes, that was Angus Young.

I recognized the guitar because a good friend of mine from high school had one just like it.
He was in one of the worst bands that I've ever heard. No horns, needless to say.

The other guitarist in the quintet played a white Fender Jazzmaster.
I have no idea why I have such strong recollections of 1962/63.
I wish I could remember more important things.

Neither of them blocked Clapton's route to stardom, even a little,
but they had fun and that's what matters.
