Hendrix, I'd be a master (and likely famous) luthier by 1970 with all that practice. The rest would have been history. Why am I even wasting time here with you bitches?

^^^This. Fcuk Clapton & Blackie, the mind boggles over the ultimate parts guitar you could build.

Sting - I wouldn't lift a finger for that t**t

 

Ditto.

But travelling with Sting everywhere he went in those five years of the Police would have been amazing. What Stewart's doc "Everyone Stares" captures makes me think working for Sting would be the best of the gigs listed.

You don’t get the impression that he’d treat you like shit?

My guess is that they all would.

Ah ok. Very possible. Carrying Sting’s bags seems one of the worst though...not as bad as scrubbing Jagger and Richards’ undies but pretty close :LOL:

I'm thinking access to Sting's cast-off groupies might be fair compensation for the abuse you'd take. :P

In the scenario described, Elton wouldn't if you were......um.......able, willing and um, talented.

There should be an entry for forum member Fridge of working for the Gallagher brothers in Oasis.

 

Great idea...I could instantly infiltrate past their security, choose my moment and waste the pair of them.

Hendrix`s Strat would be pretty easy to repair. No Floyd Rose, three single pick-ups to connect... just remember to restring it the opposite way! I would steal all the unreleased stuff and dripfeed it to the public over the next 50 years to keep the money rolling in - my three years employment with Jimi wouldn`t get me much of a pension.

Ever since I answered this question the first time in 2021 - I've thought about it... (sad and strange right?!).

 

 I change my answer to tambourine player, not tea server.

I think I would have had a much better time. :cheer:

 

Thank you.

I went for the Beatles tea job 👍

although I appreciate their importance in musical history, I’ve never been a massive fan.

However I do love making & especially drinking lots and lots of tea 🫖🫖🫖🫖

Just came across this scrolling through forum.  

Jimi's guitar glue boy, no contest.  Screw Eric Clapton and "Blackie", the axes I'd attempt to piece together would be like Woody Guthrie's fascist killers!
