The Computer Audiophile Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Inspired by the thread - "Lame brushes with fame... Which of your musical heroes have you met?" Lame brushes with fame... Which of your musical heroes have you met? I thought I'd create a thread to talk about something similar. Questions: 1. If you could meet any living artist / musician/ entertainer who would it be? 2. What would you say or ask the person? Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
徐中銳 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Leonard Cohen would be good to talk with ? At this moment, as I'm still somewhat waking-up, could ask him anything... Anyhow, recalling this Q&A : « an accurate picture Sono pessimista con l'intelligenza, ma ottimista per la volontà. severe loudspeaker alignment » Link to comment
TubeLover Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 For me, it would have to be, The Boss, Bruce Springsteen. I would ask him if had time for dinner so I could ask a LOT of questions and discuss music, his and others. JC Link to comment
joelha Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Jimmy Page. How does so much intensity emanate from such a quiet soft spoken man? Link to comment
firedog Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Pete Townshend. Both because of his music and because he'd be an interesting guy to talk to in general. I might have said Springsteen for the same reasons, but he's already taken. John Mclaughlin - I'm fascinated by musicians who manage to successfully integrate different styles and types of music. He's one of the best at that - with Rock, Jazz, and Indian Music. So it would be cool to talk to him about different musics and musicians. Main listening (small home office): Main setup: Surge protector +>Isol-8 Mini sub Axis Power Strip/Isolation>QuietPC Low Noise Server>Roon (Audiolense DRC)>Stack Audio Link II>Kii Control>Kii Three (on their own electric circuit) >GIK Room Treatments. Secondary Path: Server with Audiolense RC>RPi4 or analog>Cayin iDAC6 MKII (tube mode) (XLR)>Kii Three . Bedroom: SBTouch to Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Setup. Living Room/Kitchen: Ropieee (RPi3b+ with touchscreen) + Schiit Modi3E to a pair of Morel Hogtalare. All absolute statements about audio are false Link to comment
TubeLover Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Pete Townshend. Both because of his music and because he'd be an interesting guy to talk to in general. I might have said Springsteen for the same reasons, but he's already taken. Clearly it's a case of great minds thinking alike. I kept going back and forth between Townshend and Springsteen before I finally chose Bruce. I'm sure you must have read Pete's autobiography from a year or so back. Absolutely fascinating portrait, and he pulled no punches. One of the more honest autobiographies I've read and an incredible history of that era of rock music. JC Link to comment
TubeLover Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Jimmy Page. How does so much intensity emanate from such a quiet soft spoken man? Incredibly gifted guitarist and musician, however, if you know the checkered history of Page, his intensity emanated in quite a number of different ways. Many not at all good. JC Link to comment
徐中銳 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 He's another candidate ‽ Questions: 1. If you could meet any living artist / musician/ entertainer who would it be? 2. What would you say or ask the person? Simply, thanks for being who you are « an accurate picture Sono pessimista con l'intelligenza, ma ottimista per la volontà. severe loudspeaker alignment » Link to comment
sphinxsix Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 (as for the musicians who are gone) The question would be the same for both of them: 'what's coming next as far as their music is concerned' @ The Computer Audiophile What would your answer to your question be? Link to comment
sphinxsix Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 @ 徐中銳 I admire LSP/LSD for lots of stuff (errr..) he's done but I believe you could have problems communicating with the guy.. Link to comment
sphinxsix Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Ps. As for musicians still alive I agree with 徐中銳 that would probably be Leonard Cohen. Given such an opportunity I'd ask him some extremely difficult Zen question. Like... 'How you're doing?'. Link to comment
AnotherSpin Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Keith Jarrett. I would be happy to sit together with him for a 15 minutes or so without speaking. Link to comment
DuckToller Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Jonathan Richman, talking with him his memories from the Velvet Underground/Factory period and how it is to play with John Cale as a sidekick far away from fame. Starting at late breakfast in a rooming house at Venice beach, finishing early morning dancing in a Lesbian bar. Could be nice ;-) Link to comment
sphinxsix Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Keith Jarrett. I would be happy to sit together with him for a 15 minutes or so without speaking.Another Zen style 'conversation'.? Why not.. Link to comment
Booster MPS Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Thought long and hard about answering this one. As jazz is my first love, it would have to be Herbie Hancock. His career has spanned generations and connected so many legendary and future legendary artists. He is a living legend in our time. It would be great to sit and listen to him talk about the creative process of collaborating with musicians within the jazz world and also across genre. Over time he has proven to be a master at providing a platform/spotlight for those in his ensembles to significant creative effect. Chick Corea would be another in this light. Don't judge me, but a close second would be Sting. His first jazz collaborations extending out of the Police were mind blowing to me as a drummer in my youth. I had two of my worlds colliding in the best way possible (Sting plus Branford and the rest of that band). It was ice cream AND chocolate to my teenage self. Link to comment
mordante Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 For me it would be. Anneke van Giersbergen van Giersbergen because she is such a nice person Brothers Cavanagh for being such great musicians. Aaron Stainthorpe for creating a great genre of music I have no particular questions, would prefer to invite them to a bbq and a beer. [br] Link to comment
