Meat Loaf's Best Possible Band

[glockenspiel]

What would be the best possible combination of players & singers for the NLE??

The only condition is it must be theoretically possible to gather them together nowadays onto one stage, and for them perform to a good standard nowadays.

The current lineup is great and there are a lot of great musicians who have played through the years. If I could I add a trio of backing vocalists, but I stuck to the current format.

Drums - John Micelli
Bass - Steve Buslowe
Guitar1 Paul Crook
Guitar 2 Pat Thrall
Piano Justin Avery
Vocalist - Patti Russo
Sax Dave Luther
Keyboards Paul Jacobs

The current lineup is (at least to me) superb :cool: , so there is no need to have replacements.

But if I could dream then:
Guitar 1 - Paul Crook
Guitar 2 - Randy Flowers
Piano - Justin Avery
Drums - John Micelli
Sax, Keyboards - Dave Luther
Vocalist 1 - Amy Goff
Vocalist 2 - Elaine Goff
:-)

Above is only my fantasy, but from what I know ... I will repeat myself again - the current lineup is fantastic. :-)

While Cian sounds excellent in the Youtube videos I've seen apparently it's not possible to accurately judge a performance in this manner, so I'll have to leave her out. :lol:

Meat's current band is the best he's ever had, so I'll go with the US leg of the Hang Cool tour when Patti and CC were both still around.

Right now I have the Best band in the world !! STOP IT !!! M

I have seen and heard Cian live. She's terrific, and Meat's right. He has the best possible band right now :-)

I'm glad Meat's cuttin through the BS. His fan club has a lot of negativity, he's just like ~~~~ u buddy I'm rollin' lol

[CarylB]

As well he might .. it's his career and one he has managed pretty successfully for decades ;)

Nobody was saying the current NLE isn't the greatest. The NLE on the Orchestra DVD was also "the greatest rock and band in the world" as introduced. Meat has great bands so I am sure he always has the best. All incartions of the band have featured some amazing talent.

Ginny Luke added greatly to the overall 'texture' of the sound on violin, I thought ........

Meat, is this a joke, or are you actually asking people to stop discussing who they'd like to see in a live FANTASY line up?

The shots of her arse were some of the better parts of that DVD :twisted:

I'd add Ginny back on violin and a trio of backing vocalists ;)
