Lunchtime Poll: In Which You Play Like Keith, Any Keith You Want

1/25/07, 12:15 pm EST

You are in the womb. While cell dividing you are visited by a fairy godmother of rock (she looks a little like Debbie Harry crossed with Gilda the Good Witch). She offers to bestow upon you the skills of one rock great — you will be born capable of rocking as they rock. Which star do you pick and what is your gift?

[Thanks to swinehearder for inspiring this poll]

Lobsters | 1/25/2007, 1:21 pm EST

I want to be able to do an impression of Popeye The Sailor as good as Ace Frehley’s.

B-Rett | 1/25/2007, 1:27 pm EST

John Lennon, of course.

Ouroboros | 1/25/2007, 1:28 pm EST

David Bowie – his voice and stage presence.

myspace.com/15keys | 1/25/2007, 1:34 pm EST

No doubt id want to be Elvis Costello. Yea he may not be the greatest rock star but knowning i could write songs as well as he does would make up for any nerdy characteristics he has.

Shady Hoboken | 1/25/2007, 1:36 pm EST

Yep, John Lennon.

Joe | 1/25/2007, 1:46 pm EST

RushFan | 1/25/2007, 1:54 pm EST

Neil Peart, of course.

Lobsters | 1/25/2007, 2:01 pm EST

Joe,
You can play guitar like The Edge. Just buy one and practice for a month.
Your Pal, Lobsters

Tim | 1/25/2007, 2:13 pm EST

Sting.

musicianship + composition = complete package

We just need to convince him to use his powers for good, not the cheese he’s been cranking out recently.

ray | 1/25/2007, 3:18 pm EST

Bob Dylan best songwriter great guitar player

Dr. Ralph | 1/25/2007, 3:58 pm EST

Gimme Edward Van Halen’s guitar abilities. I don’t need his mind, it’s fucked now anyways.

Donald | 1/25/2007, 4:10 pm EST

Keith Richards — His Liver.

ifonly | 1/25/2007, 4:20 pm EST

To smoke and play guitar like Slash.

swineherder | 1/25/2007, 4:21 pm EST

I’d want Bob Marley’s skill for being both revolutionary and good-hearted all at once. As for what my gift would be, well it’s Bob, so isn’t that obvious?

hey joe | 1/25/2007, 4:26 pm EST

Jack White, perfect combination of rock and blues.

geoff | 1/25/2007, 5:08 pm EST

charliemapleton | 1/25/2007, 5:52 pm EST

Bob Marley when he originally had a ‘fro(as well as ditching the weed because I dont smoke-i’d rather have a chew stick)along with his everlastingly free spirit,Lenny Kravitz’s guitar licks,Bootsy Collins’ charisma(even though i’m already required with it),and his trippy ad libs-with a little bit of my flavor in them.Hey,maybe I can be the next member in Parliament/Funkadelic!

cheesecrop | 1/25/2007, 8:41 pm EST

I gain the power of The original rock group, THE THREE STOOGES! I have Larry’s freaked out hair, Moe’s Beatle-do, and Curly’s Henry Rollins insiped mug, as well as Shemp’s stringy pre hippie long hair. I am capable of playing several instruments and due to the awesome amount of punishment I can take, I can survive any mosh pit. I can also act as my own security team. Woo,Wooo,Woooo!N’yuk,N’yuk,N’y uk!

Graham | 1/25/2007, 9:01 pm EST

I would like to wail like Jimi Hendrix

ray | 1/25/2007, 9:47 pm EST

Joe | 1/25/2007, 10:32 pm EST

LOBSTERS?

You are not funny.

Just kidding, that was mildly amusing.

Zach | 1/25/2007, 10:33 pm EST

Are you kidding me? Who would not want to be Chuck Norris? All you would have to do was stand there, and somenone will write, sing, play and produce the greatest songs ever out of sheer terror of one of your deadly and vicious roundhouse kicks to the face! Who would not want that?

frank | 1/25/2007, 11:29 pm EST

haha zach’s right: chuck norris IS AWESOME! he is SO AWESOME, he CAN believe it’s not butter! and he CAN touch MC Hammer!

Linda Lovelace.

Josh W. | 1/26/2007, 2:10 pm EST

Jimmy Page… Before the drugs took over. I can leave that part out of it. Than all I would have to do is somehow find Sophie and recreate Led Zeppelin. Then we could live like kings.

tom wieler "hip hop head" | 1/26/2007, 2:30 pm EST

i love how these polls are always related to dead or long-past-their-prime rock stars. no, rock is not dead! ha ha. but, i DO like classic rock…i’d wanna have the skills of John Bonham. have you ever seen his mini solo at the end of Dazed and Confused in the Song Remains the Same movie? goodness gracious.

saintly | 1/26/2007, 2:36 pm EST

Keef of course w/ Iggy a close second
