| This thread has been repeated in many forms previously on this site and I am pretty sick of it. However when I joined in on the forums I started a similar thread unknowingly. I just want to see Fripp go out with $77,000 worth of guitar gear and freak out for 4 hours while I sit back and sip beer. |

Me either, Greg... well except John Myung from Dream Theater... him I've heard of.. where's Cesar when you need him... Actually I think that Derek Sherinian was in Planet X at one time with Virgil Donati.. whom I have heard... Other than that... wouldn't want any of them in my fantasy band.. I'll go with GELP - Gilmour, Emerson, Lake & Palmer... ------------- THIS IS ELP

Actually I was wondering what to do with the dead weight otherwise known as Greg Lake. I guess he could shine the great one's shoes and roll out the red carpet for The Jimi Hendrix of the Voice!! |

guitars: Adrian Belew and Thurston Moore (and Leo Kottke for acoustics) bass: Les Claypool, no hesitation there. drums: hmm, that's a tough one as my three favorites are dead. Bruford's my first thought but I'd hate to doom him by association...would I anger everyone by suggesting Norman Cook handle the beats? vocals: undoubtedly Liz Fraser. Maybe Faye Wong too. keyboards: ugh. Wakeman, but restrained. Or maybe Steve Walsh on piano and organ and Mike Pinder on Mellotron. throw in Richard D. James on electronic noises too, and a nice string section (Kronos Quartet?) You know I'm really only doing this because VB said he was sick of it ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/sollipsist/?chartstyle=kaonashi">

In all seriousness, is there any truth to the rumor that it was planned for Jimi Hendrix to join ELP? ------------- "Mister Fripp, your music is quite different than everything else out there. In one word, how would you describe it?" "Progressive.... yeah, that's it..." |

According to an interview with Keith in Contemporary Keyboard Magazine in 1977 It started with a tour with The Nice and The Experience. The subject was initiated by Mitch Mitchell, the Experience's drummer, and I guess all parties were agreeable to it (this was before Carl Palmer joining). But of course Hendrix's death stopped anything from being formalized |

While in Rio in 95 ELP was interviewed at a major newspaper (local) and that was the subject. Lake confirmed the issue, Hendrix was invited to join ELP, but died a month before it was supposed to happen. As for the Dream Band; Guitars - Andy Latimer Keyboards - Vangelis Bass guitar - Chris Squire Flute - Thjis van Leer Drums - Antonio Fernandes Vocals - Roger Waters Backing Vocals - P.P. Arnold & Kate Kissum _________ Lunar ------------- Music Is The Soul Bird That Flies In The Immense Heart Of The Listener . . . |

Actually thats not true either. The real story is that Emerson and the Nice did tour with Hendrix & the Experience... and when the Emerson and Lake got together they asked Mitch Mitchell if he would like to join them, but he showed up with an armed body guard.. and they thought that was a little too much. They joked about asking Jimi, but it was never a serious situation... Keith Emerson got rid of Davy O'List from the Nice cause he wouldn't share the limelight with an over eager guitarist... what makes you think he'd go anywhere's near Hendrix.. And on the timing... ELP played their second gig at the Isle of Wight in Aug. of 70... Jimi Hendrix played the same event. Altho Jimi did die the next month after that .. at the end of Sept, 1970. ------------- THIS IS ELP

I agree Lunar. The interview with Keith was that explicit also. It was Mitch Mitchell courting Keith and Greg with Jimi to be in the mix. Keith said I don't usually like playing with guitar players but I would have given it a go with Hendrix. (I would never forget that quote) My friends and I talked about that whole scenario for a week wondering what it might have sounded like. This magazine, Contemporary Keyboard, this article was in, Keith was on the advisory committee (as was Rick Wakeman and Chic Corea) so I don't think they would have misquoted him on the subject. It makes me wonder what the truth is now. |

Maybe this will help. I found this at ELP's offical site in the bio section:
It was Mitchell, whom Lake and Emerson believed had the most potential, and though Emerson wanted to keep the project a keyboard-bass-drums trio, there was serious talks to add Jimi Hendrix to the line up. "Yeah, that story is indeed true, to some degree." says Lake. "Mitch Mitchell had told Jimi about us and he said he wanted to explore the idea. Even after Mitch was long out of the picture and we had already settled on Carl, talk about working with Jimi continued. We were supposed to get together and jam with him around August or September of 1970, but he died before we could put it together." The rumors of the potential band with Hendrix did leak out to the British music press, who began running articles saying the band would be called "Hendrix, Emerson, Lake & Palmer" or HELP, for short. |

There are 3 different versions of this story told by Greg over the years.. and a few others in magazines by Keith and Carl. However, read Keith's book... it will give you the story I just gave you above... and I heard it from Greg, Mitch Mitchell and the Experience's road manager.. Eric Barrett many years ago. I've heard Keith say directly that it was never a serious consideration but they would of liked to have jammed with him. ------------- THIS IS ELP

Hendrix appeared to be heading for a very busy few months if he stayed alive and these stories are right - because also Miles Davis and Hendrix were supposed to be getting together very soon after the Isle Of Wight Festival to discussing playing music. [Coincidently Miles Davis's set at IoWF with an all star line-up, is supposed be released on DVD this month[. Talking Hendrix, the guys at the Fusenet jazz rock discussion group have recently been talking about the strong infleunce of Hendrix on Jean Paul Bourelly, enough to encourage me to increase the JPB albums owned from one to three. Certainly something of the "future of Hendrix" there in Bourelly's playing and vocals. |

I guess I'm lucky. I dreamt of a dream band around 1974 of Billy Cobham, John McLaughlin and Jack Bruce - they had played as duos in bands but never as three members together , but then in 1978/9 it came about. Added David Sancious to line-up and they toured Europe; I saw them at the Rainbow in London. Both seeing and hearing McLaughlin playing Sunshine of your love as blues jazz, was amazing. But why didn't they record? And for one of the dreambands that actually came together, and on the basis of the album (and now the DVD), I wish I had been there, Joni Mitchell's Shadows & Light tour with Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius, Michael Brecker, Lyle Mays, Don Alias and the Persuasions (and have you heard them sing their 4 part vocal versions from the Zappa songbook!?) |

I also done this a couple of times in this forum and at least 20 on others, but it's always fun to create your own monster and to see how your own taste changes when you learn about more bands and artists.
