If you could perform on stage with one musical group or musician, who would it be and why?
And I had a dream when I was about 14 years old of one day getting up on stage with Motley Crue and playing drums alongside to Dr. Philgood. I don't know why Motley Crue I don't know why Doctor feelgood, but that's what I wanted to do. Motley Crewe wasn't even my favorite band. I guess I just thought it would be the most epic experience of all time

Yeah, I think that'd be great, although I would feel bad if I didn't at least include my two runners up, which would be Emoji Heat or Burke. Just because I love how unique they both are. They just seem to put their souls out there without any fear of what might come back. And I've always really admired that and really enjoyed their music for that reason
And then, as far as Weird Al, come on, what a legend. I got to see him a few years ago at the Hollywood Bowl, and he played something in the neighborhood of 30 songs. And in between each song, I'm pretty sure every single one. He had a costume change and I thought it was just the coolest thing in the worst. Aside from him already being one of the coolest people in the world. So great answers

Hey, Taylor, this is such a wonderful question for me to start with. I don't think I would be worthy of playing with any of the musicians because I am not a good performance or musician. I'm nowhere close to being on stage anyways. But assuming, let's say I just got Jacked into The Matrix, and they just uploaded an instrument into my brain. And I just said, Whoa, I know how to play the keys right now

The crowd participation was the most insane f****** thing I have ever been present for. That was so powerful. The Electric Factory was singing louder than the band's amplifiers could be. They were overriding everything. So I know, you know, the song Taylor and Man, Your Own Jackhammer was off the charts crazy
I mean, I'm literally getting goosebumps. My hair is standing up on my arms thinking about it. Ascension and Ascension, two of my favorite albums ever. But that song is just an entirely different planet in the most amazing way possible. And I want to bring up another story about Coheat just because I got to experience it. And I think it was one of my favorite concert moments ever. I'm sure there's video of it on YouTube

Okay. First, I have seen video of that marching band accompanying Koheed, and it is amazing. It's so fantastic. And a couple other things. I saw all the Never Ender of In Keeping Secrets at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia. So the entire album performs straight through. Right. And then as encore, they did a bunch of songs from a bunch of the other albums
Okay, Freddie Mercury fan here. So for me, it's going to be a chance to perform with the Queen. And as all of this is supposed to be happening inside of my head, I'd very much have loved up to be on stage with the band during their iconic Live Aid concert of 1985. And performing aside, I would have been delirious just fetching them Coke and coffee and hanging around stage site somewhere, watching them do their magic

You know what I'm feeling really left out here, having seen coheading Cambria multiple times in my youth at Mr. Small Theater in Pittsburgh. So you know what, Joe? That's all I have to say. You know what I will add on, though? They put on a really fun show. Very good pick

I think I was 16 then probably. And we're going to see the show. The Unicorns. I really liked the band. I wasn't obsessed, but definitely really like them. As far as Life, a fun indie rock band went. And when we walked in, the opener had just started to play. I didn't know who they were, but as soon as their first song began, everyone just went nuts. And this is a small venue

Well, I go with Xiaomi. It's definitely Yoni's band. It's definitely with Janice Band. I'm a singer, not a very good singer, but I'm a singer. So I have heard a lot of Yoni's stage performances just on YouTube. What a man, how does he do that? If I if I get a chance, I would definitely go perform on stage even as a very small in a very small part

Hi for me. It will have to be Eagles because I'm a huge, huge fan. I haven't had a chance to watch them live in performance, but I love their music and also Brian Adams because have watched him perform live. And I simply love the energy that he brought onto the stage. So these two artists, probably a band and an artist, of course, would be my pickup. Bye

But there's a different kind of gratification with playing as a solo saxophone player. And so that brought me to Sting, right when he went solo with Dream of the Blue Turtles. That was Omar Hakim on drums, Daryl Jones on bass, Kenny Kirkland on piano, and Branford Marsalis on saxophone. Giants in the jazz scene of the day. And in Sting's wisdom, he let these jazz musicians play, he let them loose, gave him lots of free rein
