Wishful Thinking?

[Claus_Byrial]

If you, the fans, could have your way and have Neil Kernon work with a certain band of your choice, who would it be?

I would choose:

NILE!

Their last album "In their Darkened Shrines" was a let-down for me...

The music is über-cool, but the production is muddy and not very dynamic..

I SURE would like a Neil Kernon/Nile collaboration on their next album!

Your turn...

Even with a new record ready to hit, I would choose Lamb of God.

 

[NK]

Funnily enough, I was talking to Lamb of God earlier this year, but I didn't get the gig. Maybe next time?

Neil K.

I love questions like this so it got me thinking a bit more and initially I thought specifically within the metal realm. Neil's talents certainly dont begin or end with metal, so here are some of my other thoughts.

Mainstream artists:
Coldplay
Maroon 5
Christina Aguilera
Tool
Audioslave
Dave Mathews
Marylin Manson
Eminem

Then I was thinking about assembling some specific players for a one off project. And as I was trying to put together a jazz group of sorts, it occurred to me...why not just re-assemble any willing members of the Mahavishnu Orchestra? What fun!

And while we're at it, is their any magic left in some of the once great, aging rockers still trying to be relevant?

Aerosmith? LOVE their 70's catalogue. Do they have another Toys/Rocks left in them?
Paul McCartney? I LOVE a lot of his solo stuff but the last one I liked was Flaming Pie. Does he have another 'classic' left?
Simon and Garfunkle? I thought they were getting back together, at least for a couple tunes.
Genesis? Can Neil get these guys back together and put Phil Collins back on the drums with Peter Gabriel on vocals again? That'd be cool...

I guess I could go on and on, but what a fun question. Would there be any interest in these bands if the opportunity came Neil? Surely there are artsists that YOU want to work with but just havent had the chance...

Peace
Joel

I've always wanted to see what he would do with Kings X, but I think Michael Wagner is going to be producing their latest.

 

[BenMech]

I'd like to hear what Kernon would do with any active lineup of King Crimson, and I think he would too.

 

[LynchpiN]

Agree. Tool would be a killer.
What about Deep Purple?
In such a utopic world, there yould be Steve Morse AND Ritchie Blackmore in the guitars. And Jon Lord on the keys, for sure.
Or what about Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime 2? With Chris deGarmo, of course.
Yeah, and Soungarden.
Who knows?
