What performing artist would you most want to photograph?

So you weren't in favor of shooting them Narlus?


And if CyberDyne can pick Linda O'Neil, I want a photoshoot with Odalys Garcia.

I'd give my left nut to shoot KISS. Come on - KISS people! I'd blow 4gb just on The Demon.

I with you here, I would do just about anything to shoot Gene in concert and just as Gene Simmons the dad and unmarried husband.

I am so jealous of Dwight for shooting them at the casino.

I think Gene is a marketing genius. Anything he puts his name to is golden.

Sting, or Bruce -- Emotive shots.

Well, you better hurry, Gene and Stanley are aging FAST! I think there have been very few shows since the casino!

This is what Paul Stanley has been busying himself with these days: http://www.rockandroll​fantasycamp.com/websit​e_/index.html

i just looked at that lineup of rock and roll fantasy camp and determined that it's filled w/ classic rock dinosaurs that i have zero interest in (perhaps w/ Skunk Baxter as an exception). so i'll pitch my own version of who i'd like to see on staff:

jaki liebezeit (Can) - drums
mac mcneilly (the Jesus Lizard) - drums
john mcentire (Tortoise) - drums
john convertino (Calexico, Giant Sand) - drums
dale crover (Melvins) - drums
rat scabies (Damned) - drums
john 'drumbo' french (captain beefheart's magic band)- drums

brian eno (Roxy Music, solo) - keyboards
bernie worrell (Funkadelic) - keyboards
alan ravenstine (Pere Ubu) - keyboards

mike watt (Minutemen, fIREHOSE, Stooges) - bass
david william sims (Scratch Acid, Rapeman, the Jesus Lizard) - bass
kevin rutmanis (Cows, Melvins) - bass
doug mccombs (Tortoise, 11th Dream Day) - bass
kira roessler (Black Flag, Dos) - bass

marc ribot (john zorn, tom waits, solo) - guitar
don 'buck dharma' roeser (blue oyster cult) - guitar
thurston moore (sonic youth) - guitar
michio kurihara (ghost, white heaven) - guitar
neil young (duh) - guitar
jack rose (pelt) - guitar
ben chasny (six organs of admittance, comets on fire) - guitar
johnny marr (smiths, modest mouse) - guitar
robyn hitchcock (soft boys, solo) - guitar

ok, sorry for the thread derail but i thought it would be a fun diversion. who's next?

Bon Jovi

awesome band.

Neil Peart from Rush.

He is generally completely enveloped by a drum cage, and I think the play of light in that scenario would be a fantastic opportunity photographically.

Bad Brains.

Bad Brains.

well they just released a new cd, so maybe live dates are in the future? would be cool.

Bad Brains has been gigging in the NY metro area a bit recently if that helps.

p.s. Come to think of it, Bad Brains has always been gigging in the NY metro area for almost as long as I can remember. Feelin' old right about now. lol

Bad Brains?,. wow, blast from 1980!

Slight twist on the theme,
Bands I've seen where I wish I had a camera at the time, and new how to use it.

U2
1983-04-30 - Providence, Rhode Island - Brown University -
They had played the year prior in the Alumnae hall, but it was the '83 concert that was the rocker,. WAR had just been released and it was a few more years before that record would rocket them to superstardom. But those of us in the audience that day knew that this was no average college circuit band,. wow were we lucky to see them under such circumstances!

P.i.L. with Johnny Rotten
1982 Brown U Alumnae Hall.
I was too late/young in life to see the Sex Pistols live,. but did see Public Image Ltd. while pushing the Flowers of romance album at Brown,.
Amazing show, amazing drummer, and happy to see one of the most influential yet under appreciated rockers in history..
At the time I didn;t realize how lasting rotten's legacy would be, I'd assumed that the Pistol's was it, and everything from now on would be gravy.
Listening to the radio now, I think his overall influence is much greater than many understand,. and goes far beyond the Pistol's influence.
Listen to his much unknown or overlooked work with PiL and solo in the '80's and early nineties,. and you'll appreciate that half the bands on the radio today on the "alternative" stations have front men that strive to sound just like him.. even if some of them themselves don't quite realize where that style and sound came from. I hear songs released NOW that sound as if they were tracks from "9" or "Happy".

Stevie Ray Vaughan, Fabulous Thunderbirds, and Room Full of Blues
1985 Providence. Lupos Heart Break Hotel

The billing was just another Roomfull of Blues concert at there favorite local dive.
The Fabulous Thunderbirds were in town at the posh 3,500 seat music hall for a pricey set down concert... (the worst way I can imagine to see such a cool band!)

Well Lupo's in those days was a famous spot for rockers of all types, and the Roomfull guys were pretty thick with the Thunderbirds and Jimmie Vaughan.
So when there gentrified set was done at the swank theatre, the Thunderbirds all mozied into Lupos for another set or two with compadres Roomful,.
So we were in for a Fabulous show already,.
But as it turns out, this was no happenstance, Jimmy had planned ahead further, Stevie Ray was in the neighborhood on tour as well, and the plan was to meet at Lupo's.

Soon, we who had paid only our $8.00 cover to see Roomfull, (actually I was in free working with the Band, but you get the point) were treated to all three bands crammed onto Lupo's tiny stage in one of the most historically awesome guitar jam fests of all time!
It was the last Itme I saw Stevie Ray alive,. and it was totally amazing! Oh to have had a camera!

hey CDS. looks like i was just a year or two later than you...freshman year ('84/'85) at brown we had REM play spring weekend, which was just before _Fables of the Reconstruction_ came out; fabulous show! i did catch the U2 _War_ tour, but @ the worcester centrum.

I was at that REM show too!
But Dude, your Older, I was in High School! Class of '85! My High school was a few blocks from Brown Campus, and well, we took advantage of a good thing
