Flaming Lips. Perfect festival band

Mott The Hoople

————————–

4. What would be your best advice for a festival goer?

Take lots of cash, EVERYTHING is extortionate.

Have the best time!! Also take plenty of loo paper.

Don’t drink too much. Toilets get yukky.

Pack dry shampoo.

I want to be funny but in all seriousness, take goos earplugs!! Wellies on metal duckboards all day and all night = 5 nights of NO sleep.

Waterproofs and wet wipes.

Take clothes you don’t mind ruining coz most of the people i know who have been have had clothes badly stained or ripped

Wet Wipes, and try not to need a poo!

Wet wipes

Get a Winnebago.

When I went, we didn’t have a ticket, just bought them off a man when we got there. Saved a fortune, but I don’t suppose you can do that now.

I don’t know, I don’t like music festivals.

Travel light and wear wellies down there. And rain and mud are part of it so laugh at the teenyboppers crying when their designer trainers are ruined.
Wellies and sun cream

Take baby wipes.

Don’t forget your tin opener.

If you think your being covered in beer from a thrown cup, think again

Imodium

Take tissues, wet wipes, blankets and spare socks. Make sure your wellies fit properly before you get there. Don’t expect the “family area” to be quiet – kids are noisy bastards. Practice putting your tent up before you get there. Don’t put your tent up on a slope. Try not to pass out from drugs/alcohol before you’ve seen any bands. Don’t take drugs for the first time at a festival. DON’T take pictures throughout the whole thing – enjoy the moment else all you’ll remember is seeing the band on your phone screen. Also, everyone will think you’re a cunt.

Go with the flow.

Take a she wee

Take wet wipes

Just have fun.

Don’t go. If forced, take wet wipes.

Keep out of my fucking way.

Bin bags and bogroll

Be careful of everyone throwing piss!

Keep your shit together.

Take sanitiser and toilet roll. Camping is shit. The toilets are horrible.

Anti bac!!

Shit before you go

Never been but I’m guessing it’ll be try and avoid the porta loos at all costs!

Stay in a hotel

Sit back and let the crowds pass You can’t fight the weather

Take baby wipes. And gin.

Get a tent with separate ‘rooms’ and take a chemical loo! Best idea ever! Especially when festivalling with kids. Also wet wipes and wellies, but that’s obvious. And don’t take too much food or drink, it is actually better to pay festival prices than to break your spine/ankles/spirit lugging cartloads of stuff over miles of muddy fields. Last but not least: CROWDSURF.

Just go with it

Time the use of portaloos with when they are cleaned. black bin bags make good emergency rain coats. Emergency rations of rice pudding always needed

Discover the joys of constipation. Don’t have sex.

Decent tent (waterproof!). Wellies. Warm socks. Hoodie. Mac. Sunglasses. Sunblock. Hat. Baby wipes!! Don’t bring anything worth stealing. Have fun.

Stay at my sisters.

Take wellies.

If Foo Fighters are playing in a tent at the same time Ash are on the main stage, don’t see Ash.

Take a flag so you can find your tent.

If Imodium hasn’t worked for you, god help you, use the furthest away loo for the most pleasant experience.

I wouldn’t camp overnight, but don’t let it stop anyone else doing it.

Don’t try to over plan, make sure to try new things.

Wet wipes. Travel light. Take lots of cash

I have no clue.

Don’t take too much stuff

Don’t eat, so you don’t need a shit.

Don’t plan too much. Explore and go with the flow!

See as many bands as possible

Don’t camp. Get paid.

Sunscreen

Practice holding in a shite for three days.

Take wipes. And toilet paper. Lots of toilet paper

Take wellies! and try to plan what you really want to see

Don’t bother if you’re disabled, from what I’ve heard, they’re shit if you are.

Take loo roll Take bin liners – excellent as emergency ponchos and for sitting on

Go with people you like.

Forget about hygeine

Buy a cheap pillow (£2.50) and leave it behind in charity donations area at end. If you can beg, borrow or steal your way into VIP, it’s worth it to avoid pain of beer tokens. If you do go VIP, you can never go back. The bliss of clean showers, nice loos and free food is just too good.

Wet wipes. Don’t be a twat.

Take your own drugs rather than trying to buy them when you get there.

Wet wipes!! Stay hydrated Bum bag/ shoulder bag is vital Don’t camp near toilets/ fences / by a path / bottom of a hill

Just let go and enjoy yourself

Change of shoes, prepare for rain/mud. If you can buy VIP option, it’s worth it for the loos alone.

Try to never need the loo.

Wellies. Hoodie.

Take plenty of dry, clean clothes

See Question 2; so for the Edinburgh Festivals: stamina, water, and avoid the Royal Mile unless you want to drown in tourists

Stop all bodily functions if you can

Ignore the advice everywhere, you know how your body works but do take thin layers and loo roll

You can never have enough wet wipes

Take bin bags

Never follow a smurf into the toilet

Be prepared to abandon personal hygiene, morality and self-respect

Take baby wipes and wellies. Oh and don’t take a shit or you’ll regret it!

Leave half of that at home. Save the phone for emergencies… Facebook will still be there when you get home.

Comfortable shoes

Fuck off the tent get pissed & stoned for the full festival, die on monday

Stay in a hotel or B & B

Be patient with crowds. Be prepared to spend money. Fancy dress is the best. And it’s not always the big arenas and acts that are the best. Silent disco anyone?

Hire a camper van.

Wet wipes, ear plugs, eye masks, lots of booze and wear layers.

Enjoy it.

Be brave

If there’s upgradable toilet passes, PAY for them… Short/no queues, clean toilet… What more do you need?

Take your own food!

Take earplugs, baby wipes, plenty of cash (for rip-off food pricing) a d expect to have to raise your twat-tolerance levels.

Travel light, keep a journal.

Get drunk. Don’t be too much of a dick. Don’t wear anything you like too much. Don’t shit yourself in public. Don’t be one of the cunts who burns tents.

Take loads of cash and wellies/boots and wear shorts.

Take baby wipes!!!

Wear shorts and wellies. They dry out more easily. Don’t pack too much. Baby wipes are essential for use after the toilet and as a portable quick shower.

Stay nearby so you can shower and poo in comfort

Bring earplugs and never think it’s a good idea to entertain with kerosene.

iTunes bitch

Get a schedule, and pick which bands to see ahead of time. Eat tempura veg.

LEAVE THE FLAG AT HOME. I don’t go to festivals but those flags look fucking annoying. They block everyones view.

Let yourself go. Get smashed and enjoy it.

Get lots of sleep before you go

Stay in a camper van with toilet. Not a fucking field

Wetwipes

Take lots and lots of antibacterial hand stuff. Also, when you go to the toilets, don’t look down.

Baby wipes!!!

Expect and prepare for the worst – then enjoy it when the worst doesn’t happen. Try everything. Be a participant, not a spectator

go with the flow and relax

Bring nothing that you’re not prepared to lose.

I’ve never been so I don’t think I can advise.

Expect to be surrounded and pressed up by people.

Take loo roll and a sense of humour

Lose all squeamish feelings.

take toilet roll, if not for your arse than to shove up your nostrils when you enter a porta loo on day 2.

Plenty of loo roll

Avoid Glastonbury like the plague. It has lost touch with its roots, it is now just a money-making machine riddled with corporate whoring.

Shewee

Bring so much water proof shit it’s unreal. Make sure your tent is water tight and your bed/bedding is comfortable. Bring your own bog-roll/wet wipes. Bring ear plugs.KNOW WHEN YOU STAND AT THE FRONT AND WHEN TO STAND FURTHER BACK!

Take your own toilet roll Take loads of bin bags to keep stuff waterproof Take as much beer and food as you can carry Wear sunscreen

Take some anti bac hand gel

stay in a hotel

Baby wipes, one of those body worn money belts for valuables.

Take as little as possible, quick drying items. Have fun!

Have a plan B

Remember your personal hygiene.

Wet wipes

Take wet wipes

just have fun and embrace it all.

The need for tents ended when they invented the house brick.

Just go to gigs!

Pace yourself.

Baby wipes, lots of baby wipes…They have showers now though don’t they!?! Take done kind of pillow

Baby wipes and possibly a spare room in your tent for privacy.

Take a lot of toilet roll and wet wipes!

Take wet wipes, loo roll and alka seltzer xs

Baby wipes, toilet paper and antibacterial gel.

Don’t smoke much weed at festivals. In three days I saw eight bands because the rest of the time I was off my box on black leb and Bailey’s

I haven’t got any

Have fun!

Don’t just take a tent and vodka. You will also need silver rizla and about 4 clippers as everyone will nick yours

Gin

Waterproofing. Plastic bags, wellies, towels, clothes you don’t intend to keep. When it rains, the place becomes a fucking quagmire.

Bin bags to put dirty stuff in. Sun cream.

Don’t eat raw squirrels. It’s good general life-advice too tbh.

Go to the seaside instead.

Take it easy.

Bring earplugs and be ready to pee in world’s smelliest toilets!

Piss off. Also, take a LOT of babywipes.

Hydrate.

MDMA

Take loads of ££££

Prepare to get muddy and drink LOTS

Follow your ears…

Willies and bog roll.

Never let the forecast trick you into not taking wellies.

Don’t get hammered.

Enjoy EVERYTHING. Don’t stick to the bands you know and get drunk the rest of the time. Go to all the fields, even of you don’t get what they are, ESPECIALLY if you don’t get what they are. Eat everything, drink everything, talk to people, smile a lot, dance dance dance. Wear wellies even if you think it’s sunny. Wrap your loo roll in a plastic bag.

Book a hotel

Enjoy the music and don’t mind the dickheads that try to ruin it for everyone else

Don’t go in the first place.

Don’t bother posting hundreds of pictures online. I genuinely couldn’t care less

She wee

Pack for all weathers?

Forget comfort, enjoy yourself.

Pissinabottle

Get drunk.

Wellies. Anti bac wipes. Bourbon.

Go with friends and bring your own drugs. Festival drug prices are crap.

Take a lot of toilet roll and baby wipes!

Don’t worry about staying clean all the time.

No matter how cute she is, don’t let her get up on your shoulders. It’s too much hard work, she only has eyes for the singer and she is the only one who’s gonna be on TV. She sees you as a donkey, not a stud.

Get dirty, get drunk and get involved. Don’t feel obliged to see bands just because they’re very famous.

Pack during the morning of the last day and leave after the last act you want to watch. A warm shower and bed is waiting for you at home, you won’t regret leaving.

Baby wipes. Booze. Tent pegs.

Be ready for any weather and possibility of irritable festival goers

Wellies

Always take more drugs with you than you’ll need. You can make a fortune selling the extras.

If going to shit in the woods rather than the toilets, check that someone hasn’t had the same idea before you. I got orange shit in the stitching of my shoe.

Pack three suitcases full of wetwipes.

Wear comfy shoes.

Go to one in a Pontins

Luminous tent pegs. I’m telling you. Many a drunken arse has destroyed their home for the want of luminous tent pegs.

Wear pants

Never sit round the edge or under trees, they are used as toilets

Leave all your worries and best clothes at home, but never forget loo roll

Leave all morals and personal hygiene at the gate. And don’t eat too many vegetables.

Shove a cork up your arse to prevent shitting.

Wet wipes. Take a fuck ton of wet wipes

Take: wellies, bog roll , wet wipes, poncho, enough pants Do not take: anything precious or remotely valuable

The bands you want to see? Catch them on their own tour. Will look and sound better, and you won’t end up covered in other people’s piss. In theory…

Don’t get hung up on keeping clean. Drink plenty of water

Take more money than you need and take all your drugs in with you.

KICK it

Take more than you think you’ll need of stuff (particularly if it’s disposable / throw-away-able)

Grow up, get a job and contribute to society. Oh, cut your hair too you scruffy fucker.

Get pished early so the bogs don’t bother you.

Dress like a prat

Take lots of socks and layers.

Make sure you know the bands who are playing before you book.

BYOB

Take suntan lotion and immodium.

Don’t take a shit in the toilets after the first day.

Don’t go if you might need to pee or poop. Don’t take anything you’re not prepared to lose.

Baby wipes. Go and watch what you fancy and not what’s “cool”

Put your shoulder into people if you have to walk anywhere. They are all so drunk they will just stumble out of your way.

Don’t fuckin bother. Or, kill yourself

Get drunk and do drugs.

8. If you’ve never been to a festival what do you imagine it to be like?
Fun fun fun in the sun sun sun

Sweaty, wet, and smelly

full of hippies

Smelly.

Muddy, smelly, claustrophobic, confused.

A massive piss up with lots of music

Loud and messy

Muddy with wee filled bottles being lobbed about.

Muddy and smelly.

Wet and stench ridden.

Have been

Muddy and dirty

Full of plastic hippies and actual hippies and bloody nightmare to get to a toilet, and people ripping you off at every opportunity

Smelly but fun

A party vibe ruined by drunken fools and overflowing cesspits

Muddy and boozy

Been, but it was nothing like I imagined.

Hell on earth. Everyone covered in their own filth throwing piss at each other and getting no sleep for days

Hell with no bed or shower.

Shit, crowded, smelly and full of dickheads

Very very claustrophobic, noisy and surrounded by drunken thieving bastards

Musical, muddy & a bit mental

I have been and it was as expected but sixtyfivetrillion times better.

Lots of fun!

It’s just not quite as good as you’d expect

Sex, drugs and rock n roll. Probably pretty terrifying for a nice girl like me.

Noisy

Muddy.

Don’t have to imagine.

smelly and dirty..! but an amazing atmosphere

Muddy and no loos and horribly inaccessible. I’m not a (full time/regular) wheelchair user, but I can’t walk very much or cope without proper loo facilities. I am also not that interested in being in huge crowds watching a band that I can’t even really see. Have you seen James Ward’s blog entry about when he went to a festival? I think I would have a similar experience even were I not too ill for such shenanigans.

Awesome^awesome

I have been, but it’s never been as muddy as I had imagined.

These days they’re full of arseholes.

Noisy, dirty, uncomfortable and surrounded by annoying drunk / stoned bastards.

Hell on earth – lots of people packed into a small space coupled with toilet facilities that are on a par with third world facilities and cleanliness

N/a

Refugee camp with expensive burgers

Muddy dirty cultural explosion and anything goes

Mucky, wet, uncomfortable, dirty. Ugh.

Dirty with dodgy food and facilities.

Fucking epic!!! (I’ve been tho)

Claustrophobic !

A magical fairy kingdom paradis….IT’S FINE YOURE GOING TO HAVE A BLAST.

Shite

Really dirty but incredibly fun

Full of irritating other people who would just get on my tits.

Dirty, sweaty, dehydrated, hungover,sunburn,hay fever and porter loo’s

Muddy or hot, a bit dirty

Muddy. Wet. Dirty. Unclean. Germ-y. Full of muddy, wet, dirty, unclean, germ-y people. It looks like my idea of hell. Sleeping in a field? Fuck no.

Too fucking packed

Not been many so…..Crowded! I get lost easily haha

Crowded. Unhygienic. Good craic.

Awful. I like functioning toilets for a start.

NOISY

Been to loads so this question is void.

Mad, muddy, smelly but fun

Dirty, and smelly.

Noisey exhilarating smelly

Grubby

Much too crowded and unhygienic.

Fun, gungy and drunken

Shit.

Uncomfortable but I wud go if I cud glamp in a Winnebago or nearby hotel & have a VIP pass for everything!

Kind of like the end of civilisation itself

Ok probably but I like my own bed! Love live music though.

A nightmare. Smelly, too many people, no ability to wash properly. It’s honestly my worst nightmare. I hate camping!!

Smelly but fun

Drubk

I imagine it is like Leeds but muddier.

Like being a refugee but paying foe the privilege.

hideous, muddy, terrible hayfever, smelly dirty sweaty vile human beings. loud. fucking awful.

Organized chaos.

Non stop fingering.

Smelly

Been to millions. Can I leave this unanswered?

Dirty, crowded, disgusting toilets and noisy.

A steaming pile of dog shit attended by annoying young hipsters who think they are cool, a small number of people who actually are cool and ageing people who have long since ceased to be cool but are trying to reclaim their youth. If it’s a British festival, there will be rain, mud, long queues for overpriced beer, overpriced ‘gourmet’ burgers and blocked portaloos which stink like a cow pat after half a day. If you want to watch bands on stage, you’re either at the front in a crush or so far back the band members seem like ants. You’ll be surrounded by people who rave about the ‘vibe’ and atmosphere, but they’re likely off their tits on some chemical substance or another. And camping is what you do when you can’t afford a hotel. All in all, I would rather chew my own leg off and then dip the bloody stump in broken glass and lemon juice before diving into a piranha-infested cesspool, than go to a festival.

Smelly dirty noisy, full of annoying people

I’m not a big drinker so maybe a bit boring.

Brilliant

Periods of wild excitement between periods of being cold, wet and bored.

Hell. Crushed. Too many people. But hand me a jub I’ll probably love it. And everything else.

Muddy, busy, loud.

I have been

The most amazing weekend ever

Like rimming @davielegend.

Civilised to begin with and awful by the end. (The toilets, I mean.)

I’ve been so I know!

Enlightening

Full of hippies shit & weirdos

Muddy!

Dirty

Awful.

Shit

Muddy

Filthy and full of drunk twats bragging about how many times they’ve seen such and such an act.

Like unicorns having gay sex.

Dirty, noisy, but good

Wet, filthy and expensive.

Full of un-washed, un-clean benefit claimants.

The most amazing weekend ever

I have, and they are just like a massive party.

Lots of music and happiness.

Muddy and loud

A big party.

Wet and muddy

Noisy, overcrowded and annoying

Tiring, noisy and with unbearable queues for everything.

Mental

Horrendous.

Awful… and I was right.

Relaxed, dirty, smelly, boozy, chilled, revolting, dancy

I imagine it to be like what I experienced.

Disgusting, violent, scary

Filthy but I’ve been so I know

Dirty

12. If you have been to a festival, what’s been your best festival experience?

Thunder reforming at High Voltage

The manager of an awesome band we were watching coming over and chatting to us about them. Oh, and chatting with Ed Sheeran whilst he had a cig.

Coming home.

Sitting in the sun, listening to the music.

Arriving at my first Glastonbury in 2008 on the Friday night by national express. Walking through tents and rocking up to watch Jimmy Cliff on the jazz stage with a Hasidic Jew dancing mentally in front of me. I knew I was in love with Glastonbury right then. I then danced until 5am in Shangi-La do Hayseed Dixie. Few experiences have topped that sense of total wonder!

Genesis at Knebworth

Lamb. Sunset. Jazz stage. Glasto. 1999 I think.

Crowd surfing to the Manics and Kula Shaker.

Surprisingly good sound.

Glastonbury. Time doesn’t matter so you can do whatever, whenever.

Losing the kids.

V festival 98.. Even though I missed The Verve.

Pulp headlining t in the park. Euphoric.

Seeing the wife have a piss behind a tree

Drunkenly singing Bohemian Rhapsody and doing the okey kokey with 20 strangers before leading a conga line to the cocktail tent after seeing We Are Scientists.

Singing along to George Benson with a great crowd.

All the drugs, oh wait I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A FESTIVAL

Every minute was the best.

Eventually, we left.

That time at Reading when the weather was perfect and yet I managed to not get hayfever

Getting picked up in a mosh pit by a fat man.

Playing

Jamie Cullum in the sunshine, or drunkenly singing to 30 seconds to mars in the mud

Pulp at Glastonbury 1995

The crowd loving Rolf Harris

Four days in a yurt with terrific music, wonderful friends and a shed load of gin and red wine.

Seeing Fatboy slim. No drink or drugs needed, he was just awesome

My children seeing Pearl Jam for the first time, singing along and dancing and cheering their little heads off. I danced like a maniac and blubbed like a baby! Utter euphoria.

Listening to Jason Mraz whilst a thunderstorm lit up the sky.. surprisingly in time with music

Walking ten miles (because the bus driver turfed us out) to watch the Prodigy… From a distance of over a mile.

Have several. Couldn’t pick one.

IOW, REM on the main stage. Unbelievable performance. Never seen a crowd react like that to a band as the sun was setting over the site. Beautiful, emotional and wonderous.

Fun Lovin Criminals at sunset.

Jamiroquai in searing heat

Sunshine.

Glastonbury, not sure what I’d go for specifically. Maybe Thursday night in 2011.

Spiritualised at Glastonbury 98. Sigur Ros at Glastonbury….er……sometime. Nick Cave at ATP. A labyrinth of fire at Glasto 98. Sonic Youth at Reading 96? Sex Pistols Phoenix 96 Rocket From The Crypt at Reading 96ish

All of it even the rain

Sex in the crowd with a stranger

The whole Glastonbury atmosphere. The whole vibe of the place is like nothing else.

Reading 95 Smashing pumpkins

Someone died during Pete Tongs set at Gatecrasher. Gee came backstage and I said Oi, Pete, it’s all gone a bit you. He doesn’t like me now.

Great music

Smoking a joint with a girl I’d just met.

rock n bike 2011. amazing people, amazing bands, cheeky snog with a stranger

I used to like the things the old GLC did in parks in summer. Think there was one in Battersea that was good, and it had a machine that did presents for 20p and they came in a little blue and white cardboard box. I liked those. I am not James Ward, by the way.

didn’t have a great time

Getting drunk and singing along with thousands of others

Being given a badge by a giant rabbit.

Guns N’ Roses at Donnington as I was too far back to be crushed.

A cricket match between hippies and anarchists at a festival in North Wales in about 1991. The LSD might have helped.

The whole crowd singing Queens bohemian rhapsody to a backing track.

Blur live

Furst time Deadmau5 played Creamfields in the Radio 1 tent. Astounding.

Evenings round the campfire, winding down with friends & strangers

Sex in a tent.

Singing at the St Magnus Festival in Orkney

Surreal experience of man in sumo suit moonwalking past. Genuinely thought I had imagined it until be came back

Watching Coldplay. Shivers down my spine and every song now brings back such a unique memory.

Sunrise at the stones at glasto

Inspiral Carpets

Not having a poo for 3 daya

The all night Pink Floyd tent!

Seeing my kids getting into live music

Getting a hand job off a bird in the crowd while watching blur

Watching/listening to a recreation of KLF’s ‘Chill Out’ album at The Big Chill

50,000 people all having the best time tends to rub off on you. So the whole thing is just brilliant. Oh and silent disco anyone?

MDMA at Bestival 2008

Dancing in the sunshine to Amadou & Mariam

Foo Fighters.

Sticky pig leg

Knowing musicians/writers and getting VIP/press passes… It’s so much better on the other side! Also, those moments when the crowd dances and you get caught up in the bounce,

Everyone was happy!

Playing live at Glastonbury.

Morris dancer wars at Sidmouth Folk Festival.

Limp Bizkit, Rollin’ with 20,000 people doing the dance followed by immediately meeting then hugging Hayley Williams. I enjoyed it more than she did.

Camping is always the best bit!

Chilling out and drinking all day at Body & Soul section at Electric Picnic. So relaxed and such a friendly atmosphere.

Leaving the festival and mixing with real human beings again

Getting high and listening to Blur with skulls rotating around the roof of my tent.

Hearing the Verve play ‘Love is Noise’ for the first time.

Not been.

Daft punk at Global Gathering

Bonding with my dad

Seeing The Pixies

The fact the artists just walk about and have a good old mingle.

Dancing at the front to Florence and the machine

Listening to great live music, eating Thai food whilat watching the sun go down

I doubt I can remember the best ones.

Feeling happy with tens of thousands of other people

sitting round a fire and chilling

Happy people enjoying music

sharing a spliff and a convo with Amy Winehouse, Glasto.

Chemical brothers

Jamming with The Manics

Reading, the massive crowd playing “flash the boobs” with Placebo!

Not been. Been to loads of concerts though!

Not sleeping in a tent

Sharing it with my best friend, and making new friends through the love of music

I met my husband

good thanks

The atmosphere, the people, the lack of rules… Complete escape from daily life accompanied by stupidly expensive food/drink & good music x

The laid back attitude, sitting on the grass with a drink and sunshine while listening to live music. Exactly why festivals were made for

Dancing till the sun comes up

Radiohead, Glastonbury 97.

Silent disco

27. Do you believe in the saying “what goes on tour stays on tour?”

Yes – 45.4%
No – 54.6%

————————-

28. If you create a supergroup of the best musicians who would be in your band, what instrument would they play and what would the band be called?

Drums – Dave Grohl Bass – Steve Harris Lead Guitar – Slash Rhythm Guitar – Malcolm Young Vocals – Lzzy Hale No idea of a name.

Bryn Christopher singing. Prince on guitar. Bass player from Senseless things. Reni on drums.

mick jones on triangle ozzy osbourne on tamborine called minge kebab

Stone Roses exactly as they are with me in a female Bez role, ideally shagging Ian Brown off-stage during Fools Gold

Tom Morello, guitar. Keith Moon, drums. The Muse fella, vocals and guitar. They would simply be called: The Band.

Nile Rodgers and James D Bradfield on guitar. Keith Moon on drums. Bowie on vocals. Matt Bellamy art direction. They’d be called FUCK

All the bands that were big in 1995. I’m too tired to name them all.

Eddie Vedder -vox Dave Grohl – drums/vox Josh Homme – guitar/vox Kim Deal – bass/vox Neil young – guitar/vox They would be called Mosher Sphincter

Robert Plant – vocals John Paul Jones – keyboard and bass Jimmy Page – Guitar Bonzo – drums Led Zeppelin

Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, Alex Turner, Keith Moon. They’d play whatever the fuck they wanted and be called: An Unearthly Child.

John Bonham – drums John Entwistle – bass Eric Clapton – electric Keith Emerson – keyboard Eric Burdon – Vocals

Just me – I would play everything and it would be called Capalcu

Slipknot with the addition of Slash and Myles Kennedy. Perfection right there.

The band would be called: Terrible Lorries

I’m not a fan of ‘real bands’ so I’d choose a supergroup of Lady Gaga, rihanna, Beyonce, Mel B and Ben Howard

It would be a very big band.

Oh my god this survey is getting boring now. It would have me on violin and my mate Dave on tambourine.

Dave Grohl vocals Chris Novoselic bass Lars Ulrich drums Jimi Hendrix guitar The cockpockets

They already did! It’s called the full English.

Pearl Jam. That is all

Arse – kurt cobain, kt Tunstall & Phil Collins

Dave Grohl – Drums. Bernard Butler – Lead Guitar. Kim Deal – Bass. Vince Clarke – Keyboards. MIA – vocals. It would be called Wunderpop, because fuck it why not?

Vocals – Freddie, Guitar – Jimmy Page, Drums – Dave Grohl, Bass – Flea, backing vocals, PJ Harvey

Lead singer: Taylor Swift Lead guitar: Newton Faulkner Keys: Gabrielle Aplin Drums: Rob from Letters to Daisy playing a cajon (look them up) Banjo: Marcus Mumford And they’d be called ‘A Feast for the Ears’ (I didn’t promise my talent for thinking of band names was any better than my taste in music…)

The Smiths with all the individuals reformed

A-ha

Band Name: Some Picnic (Taken from a Bukowski Poem) Wayne Kramer – MC5 – Guitar Steve Albino – Shellac – Guitar Henry Bogdan – Helmet – Bass Mark Sandman – Morphine – Sax John Stanier – Battles/Helmet – Drums Buzz – The Melvins – Vocs David Yow – Jesus Lizard – Vocs

Alby & Alby…Evander Duke…Johnny Biro & the Cunts, guitars, keyboards & drums. Band called Died of Cider.

Angus Young – Guitar Dave Grohl – Drums Elvis Presley – Vocals Elton John – Piano They would be called ‘Fuck Me This Is Legendary’

Jarvis Cocker and Brett Anderson as duelling frontmen, Alex James on bass, and, well, basically I’m just going to be naming people I fancied when I was 15 and calling it My Teenage Pantsfeelings.

Re: Some Picnic….. I fucked up. I want Dana Colley from Morphine on Sax, cos the great Mark Sandman was the bass player, as any fool knows.

Axl Rose, Mike Patton, Slash, Matt Bellamy, Travis Barker, Jason Mraz and Toka, Gerard Way on drugs, Frank Iero, loads of others. Called The Mother Fckers (sic).

Keith Moon – drums. Jimi Hendrix – guitar. Flea – bass. Ray Charles – keyboard and backing vocals. Taylor Momsen – lead vocals. Called.. Mixed Economy (for no other reason than it doesn’t make much sense).

Vocals, me. Backing band, The Funk Brothers. Name, MoTim.

Led Zeppelin – best frontman ever, best guitarist ever, best drummer ever and best bass player ever. Love them or hate them, it’s undeniable.

Nile Rodgers natch; drums Meg White (why not?) ; vox Steve Smith from Dirty Vegas ; lead guitar Prince; keys Chris Lowe; backing vox me. I’d call them Rookin Roll.* *I wouldn’t.

Singers: Otis Redding & Skin (Skunk Anansie) Guitars: Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Slash, Nile Rodgers Bass: Flea Drums: Kodo Drummers Keyboards: Elton John Odd job man: Prince Name: Demo

Jon Anderson (from Yes) – Vocals David Gilmour (from Pink Floyd) – lead Guitar Tony Banks (from Genesis) – Keyboards Tony Levin (session player) – Bass Chester Thompson (from Weather Report) – Drums Pete Townshend (from The Who) – Rhythm guitar

What, like the Traveling Wilburys? Not interested.

I don’t reckon this would work – you need variety in life, I like too many different types of music

Guitar-Hendrix & Slash Drums-that one armed bloke from def leopard Bass-who cares it’s bass Vocals-Axle rose Backing vocals-some fit slags Called- Blue Waffle Lickers

Donovan playing a one man band called “The George Cauldwell Experience”.

Dave Grohl- drums, Johnny Marr & Nile Rodgers- guitar, M’Chell Ngodicello (sp?)-bass, Janelle Monae- vocals

Dave grohl drums Dexter holland vocals Brandon flowers for me to perv at My wank band

Supergroups never work.

Morrissey dressed in the attire of a one man band called Tickle Me.

Kylie, Madonna, Lady gaga (session musicians would make the actual ‘music’), they would be called ‘a useless shower of cunts’ and would still be better than most shaggy haired guitar band hippy pricks

Bootsie Collins – bass Gavin Harrison – drums Devin Townsend – Vocals and guitar Steve Wilson – Guitar Name?

I have literally no idea. Supergroups are generally shite.

All supergroups are shit. You’d think several talented people coming together would create the most amazing music ever. Wrong. It’s just a big wanky shite ego-stroking mess.

Nick Carter on drums…that’s all I care about. I won’t be looking anywhere else….

Consumption Funktion

Peter Hook on bass,Remi on drums,Mick Jones on guitar Bobby Gilespie up front.

The Monkeys.

Heaven Sent Heaven Stole – Jimi Hendrix, Ray Mazarak, Dave Grohl, Jaco Pastorius, Marvin Gaye, Brian Wilson, Qbert, Grandmaster Flash,

See Cream. Or maybe Emmerson Lake and Palmer.

Too much pressure to answer this right. Dave Grohl on drums though for sure

Me. I would play all the instruments and pretend I’m a hotter, blonder, younger, Dave Grohl but a woman.

Pearl jam. Super groups don’t work, look at audioslave: Cornell vocals & RATM band should be amazing but it just doesn’t work x

Michael Jackson on drums Mark Owen on bass Chesney Hawkes on lead guitar Slash on vocals They’d be called “Steve”

Zithers

Drums: Tony Allen & ?uestlove Bass: Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) Guitar: Peter Green & Wilko Johnson Vocals: Bjork

It would be called THE FALL and it would have the folk who were in THE FALL in the late 80s/early 90s

They’d play all the instruments and I’d just sing. HUGE SHARK of course!

Piss-Soaked Tramp Shoes Florence Welch – vocals That’s all you need.

Newton Faulkner – guitar / lyrics Pink – lyrics / piano The drummer from blink 182 I don’t really know any good bassists, so I’d have to audition for that I’d call them “some band”. Because then people say things like “I’m going to see some band this Saturday” :’)

Bassist from suicidal tendencies.keef on guitar.drummer from bezerker.nick cave and mark e smith on vocals.called the witchhammer

Facemelter Trent Reznor Vocals/Synth Matt Bellamy Guitar Nico McBrain Drums Jason Newsted Bass

Stevie Wonder on Keys, Phil Collins on Drums, Bernard Butler on lead guitar, Jah Wobble on Bass, The Unthanked on baking vocals and me as the lead singer.

David Gilmour – guitar Jimi Hendrix – guitar John Bonham – drums Grooverider – programming and other drums Flea – bass KRS One – vocals The Orb – weird sounds

Chris Cornell on vocals, Tom Morello and John Frusciante on guitars, Flea on bass, Dave Grohl on Drums. I’d call them The Furry Mittens.

Josh Homme rhythm guitar Geddy Lee Bass guitar Dave Grohl drums Kirk Hammet Lead guitar Thom York vocals (and dancing) Band name: plus support

I would play the triangle. The band will be called “FUCK YOU, THIS IS MY BAND”.

Dave grohl – drummer Howard (killswitch engage) – vocalist Slash – guitarist Not sure about bass No idea what it would be called either

Drums – Keith Moon Bass – Flea Rhythm Guitar – Malcolm Young Lead Guitar – Jimi Hendrix Vocals – Freddie Mercury Harmonica – Me Band Name –

Matt Bellamy on Guitar Dominic Howard on Drums Chris Wolstenholme on Bass Probably call them something like Muse (I’m so sad…I don’t have the time to think of a serious answer)

Chief Keef he’s all you need

Cliff Burton Bass Mike Patton Singing.

It would just be a mash up of the current line ups of Fairport/Steeleye Span and various other folk combos. Maddy Prior and Simon Nicol on vocals, Dave Swarbrick on fiddle, Martin Carthy on guitar, John Kirkpatrick on accordion. Ashley Hutchings would be in there somewhere too… I’d called the band Folk Off. Because I am HILARIOUS like that.

Dave Grohl – Drums. Flea – Bass. Ben Folds – Keyboards Keith Richards – Guitar Slash – Guitar Matt Bellemy – Guitar Haim – Backing Vocals Thom York – Vocals The band would be called ‘Plus Support’

Thom York vocals Maynard of Tool vocals Queen Adreena guitarist Tori Amos piano Flea bass System of a down drummer Trent reznor + Charlie closer extra sounds. I feel like I’m forgetting so many tallented people

I would get Fleetwood Mac back together, that’s it

The Unknown me (vocal & keytar) dave grohl (drums) Jack White (lead guitar)

Trent Reznor – vox, production James Dean Bradfield – vox, guitar Nick Cave – lyricist, vox, tambourine Reznor can emulate just about anything any way, so wouldn’t need other band members. That, and thinking of those three in a room has got me all a-fluster…

Supergroup. Eric Clapton (guitar), Roger Waters (guitar), Elvis (vocals), Dave Grohl (drums) and Chris Martin (piano)

Chuck D, Ice Cube, Charlotte Church and Ol Dirty Bastard on Vocals Slash on Guitar Vanessa Mae on violin The bloke from Metallica on drums “The Rank Vagina’s”

Rod Stewart (faces mode) vocals Eric Clapton (pre-1972) guitar John Paul jones- bass Dave grohl AND John Bonham drums Keith Richards – guitar Tim minchin Piano Band called – dirty rotten scoundrels

Bowie and Thom Yorke. The sprockets.

The drummer from the Arctic Monkeys on drums, Fran Healey from Travis as singer/on guitar, Flea on bass, Seth Lakeman on fiddle, The Tallest Man On Earth as other singer/lead guitar… they would be called The Misfit Toys

I’d create a band called “Baggy foofs”, made up of Ozzy Obourne on the kazoo, Jarvis Cocker on the bassoon and Kate Bush on vocals.

Jimmy Page guitar cozy Powell drums fave grohl guitar and vocals

Steve Jacket on guitar, Keith Emerson on keyboards, Ginger Baker on drums, Greg Lake on bass and Jim Morrison vocals. Group name; Music Men of the Apocalypse.

Wtf singer

My favourite ever band would be ‘The Dead Beatles’. It would consist of all The Beatles, dead, playing nothing, just laying there. Blissful silence would fill the room.

I’m the audience, you’ll have to work that one out yourself.

Jimi Hendrix on sousaphone Meryl Streep on sousaphone All 360540 members (past and present) of the Sugababes on sousaphone The Queen on sousaphone and Cher on Cher It would be called “Mr Major’s got a right B in his bonnet about the bedroom tax, oh yes he has, so he has!”

Johnny Cash singing with Primus. I bet it’d be awesome.
