Wishful Collaborations

all that sounds cool and i agree with you about the different styles with different musicians ( this to me is another example of the creative genius that glenn is) but i have to say that glenn said that all these collaborations he has been doing are going to be far and few between because he wants to focus on his own music -id like to hear him with schenker and jimmy page myself(the old jimmy page when he could realy play) but hey what will be will be im also waiting for matteo cd to come out to hear glenn on that

or how about glenn with some of his favorite soul musicians? from hearing him talk about what he likes i bet this would make him very happy

Quote from tony g

the old jimmy page when he could realy play

saw Page/Plant on the Walking Into Clarksdale Tour, and Page especially was in top form that evening here in Vienna! I will never forget when they played that first chord into the rockier part of No Quarter (after the intro) - I had tears in my eyes!!!

John Sykes - I totally agree - you should really check out his new Live CD - Bad Boy Live! It's only available through his website (at a very reasonable price) http://www.johnsykes.com and in Japan. It really rocks big time!!! Tommy Aldridge on drums, Marco Mendoza on bass and Derek Sherinian on keyboards.

Steve Stevens - I'd like to see that collaboration, but he is now very busy with Billy Idol's comeback album and Tour.

And of course I'm still hoping for the Emerson/Bonilla/Hughes Live Album, especially for that version of Tarkus from Santa Cruz (the May 14th show). If you haven't heard it - there Is singing from another planet on this - unbelievable and exactly the reason why I am GHCP.

Cheers,
Christian

i saw him too christian with the firm and some page/ plant maybe im just too favorable to his days in led zepplin i agree with you totally about the keith emerson live cd i was hoping for this myself

Glenn and Sykes could be great but after hearing 'Bad Boy live' I'm more than happy for Sykes to keep doing his own thing - he gets better with every record! My dream one would be Glenn and Richie Kotzen - the tracks they did on 'Incense and Peaches' were great, and Kotzen is an excellent songwriter and superb musician. The pair of them could do an album together and you wouldn't even need any other musicians!

Fantasy 1 : Pat Travers! If GH teams Pat who recently teamed up with Carmine Appice, it will be very cool. I have been waiting for the team by GH and PT for a long time. (Just one or two songs in BTM are not enough..)

Fantasy 2 : David Foster and/or Jay Gradon. If their songwriting meets our Big Daddy's voice, it will create big hits on radio/movie. (It may sound like Trapeze meets Toto!)

Fantasy 3: Char Takenaka (probably No.1 funky guitarist in Japan. In young days, Char seems to be influenced by Trapeze a lot.) The team may attract a lot of young funky music fans.

Fantasy 4: Queen with Rodgers and Hughes.

[indent]Kotzen,Chad Smith, Big Daddy!

An interesting list of:
"Glenn should work again with_____________."

We're all waiting now, to see what the new album with
Tony Iommi sounds like, especially since I don't think that
too many of us ever thought that it would ever happen.

But as long as this is this thread's topic,
I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned John Norum.
Go listen again, to "Distant Voices."

(Can Hughes/Coverdale be far behind? Heh, heh, heh.)

Hey, What you are forgetting is that JJ Marsh is THE man.

He has grown both as a songwriter and an axeman with Glenn. He is able to adapt to all of Glenn's styles of music making.

The only reason for Glenn to play with a "name" guitarist is for publicity and promotion reasons - not songwriting and playing performance.

If JJ had replaced Blackmore in DP and come up with riffs like he has done with Glenn we would be saying wouldnt it be great if Glenn worked with JJ.

Wolfy's got a great point, we are taking JJ for granted. All my favourite Glenn albums are one's co-written with JJ.

But, to look at what Tony said, I had dreams of Glenn joining Queen + Paul Rodgers as the bassist, but after hearing a particularly good bootleg of the show in Basel I don't want to change a thing! Paul had a throat infection so he sang the first five, then Brian May sang two, then my hero Roger Taylor sang two (result! ), then they duetted two before Rodgers came back to finish the show. It was brilliant and I don't think it could've been better even with Glenn.

I'd still kill to hear a recording of him singing 'Stone Cold Crazy' from last year though!

I think that in JJ Glenn has found an amazing guitarist who is well suited to play across the myriad of styles that Glenn has brought into his work as a solo artist. His versatility is proven, and nobody should question his chops, but if Glenn were to work on outside collaborations, (i.e. - non-GH solo albums, for which I think JJ is the best), personally I'd love to see Glenn do another album with John Norum and, (as I've mentioned elsewhere here), I'd be keen to see him do some sort of a rootsy, Trapeze-like power trio project/album with Jake E. Lee.

Of course this is all just talk. I love JJ. Definetly underrated! He is one hell of a nice guy, as are Chad and GH.
