Lunchtime Poll: Orchestrate a Rock Spectacle

3/29/07, 11:28 am EST

Robert Johnson Jack White

You’re watching that Eat the Document footage of John Lennon and Bob Dylan hanging out, just chatting, while driving around London in a taxi in 1966. You’re feeling inspired by the fact that you’re witnessing two of rock’s most visionary, influential, fucking awesome artists sizing each other up. You pray to the gods of rock to allow you to orchestrate such an absurdly compelling moment with two artists of your choice. You are allowed to pick anyone from any era anywhere, put them in any scenario you can fathom, and watch what happens. Who do you pick? Where do they meet? And what do they say to each other?

staindpearlygirl | 4/1/2007, 4:40 pm EST

Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain, both legends in their time. I think they would talk about life and what it would have been like to be reversed in each others shoes….

charliemapleton | 3/30/2007, 1:23 pm EST

Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes and Lily Allen.They can either meet in one of each other’s mansions in Atlanta or London,wherever they want to hold it down.Their conversation would possibly,obviously be about lyrics about self confidence and self empowerment,why bangs look sexy on a girl,and vengeful male bashing/boyfriend dumping tactics(gruesome).

robbie k | 3/30/2007, 12:02 pm EST

thom yorke and conor oberst taking a carriage ride through central park screaming economics at children on the street

“The whole Jack White/Jack Black thing already happened.”
Did it? I thought that would make the universe implode.

T-Nasty | 3/30/2007, 3:00 am EST

Guitar World had a cover story with Jack White and Jimmy Page. I think they had to prep Page about what blues songs White covered because he seemed oblivious as to who the White Stripes were.

Pat Boone and Tupac.

MCGustav | 3/30/2007, 1:45 am EST

actually flynnie, black flag and minutemen toured europe in early 82 together..lucky enough to see the show in Nuremberg….

I nominate Gwar and Judi Collins…

Also a meeting of…
Herman’s Hermits and Biz Markie
David Alan Coe and David Lee Roth
Camper Van Beethoven and Bachman Turner Overdrive
and always my favorite….
Neil Young and Crazy Horse…

Mike C. | 3/30/2007, 1:26 am EST

Robert Johnson and Eric Clapton

Hunter | 3/30/2007, 12:59 am EST

eddie vedder & john lennon

Led | 3/30/2007, 12:32 am EST

I like to think that Elvis, Joplin, Hendrix, Bonham, lennon, cobain, allman and the other greats who left the world to early are up in heavan just hanging out playing music as they watch how they shaped the music we listen to today

WHO | 3/30/2007, 12:26 am EST

Why not get the guitar greats in a room, clapton, hendrix, king, page, in smokey room just playing to play.

Mike | 3/30/2007, 12:24 am EST

Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn

flynnie | 3/29/2007, 10:03 pm EST

a few that happened:
iggy and bowie 1972
the ramones and the pistols 7-4-76
black flag and the minutemen 1985

Joe Puma | 3/29/2007, 9:37 pm EST

Dylan and Lennon is probably the best,I love them both,but the meeting wasn’t exactly the intellectual summitt it should have been since Bob was bombed out of his skull.You can see John trying to hold back his annoyance at Dylan’s needleing and babbling(mumblings about Cass Elliot,lame bands of the day,etc).How great it would have been if both icons had their shit together in England that day.I also wish Springsteen had actually talked to Elvis at Graceland when Bruce tried to scale the fence there back in ‘75.Who knows how that would have went.

tommo | 3/29/2007, 9:00 pm EST

Dave Grohl and John Bonham
Pete Doherty and Joe Strummer
Liam Gallagher and John Lennon
Jimi Hendrix and John Frusicante
Julian Casablancas and Kurt Cobain

cheesecrop | 3/29/2007, 8:38 pm EST

Yes, and I know Monk/Coltrane is jazz.

If it has to be rock I’ll toss in the 93 Nirvana/Pearl Jam hook up that never occured. It’s not quite the same but it’s still a worthwhile one.

cheesecrop | 3/29/2007, 8:35 pm EST

For those swearing Dylan/Lennon was best, there might be one that could top it, if not stand as =

Theolonius Monk/John Coltrane

Album thought to be lost for many years released last year I believe.

Danny Mac | 3/29/2007, 8:34 pm EST

Ace Frehley and Anton Fig

adam | 3/29/2007, 8:28 pm EST

bob dylan and lou reed

charliemapleton | 3/29/2007, 6:47 pm EST

John Legend & Donny Hathaway.They would meet at a piano shop downtown Chicago-just talking about love,peace,equality,and fly clothes over mint tea.

Keyshia Cole and Beck.Hilarious as it may sound,but they DO happen to have certain things in common.It would take place at a Oakland block party and the evident details in the whole convo would include what’s going on in the Oakland/LA music scene(Which they individually represent for),distinctive sounds,soul influences,and why Keyshia should’ve cheated on her last boyfriend-while Beck insists(from a male’s perspective)it’s always good to fall for your mate PLUS someone’s sister…simultaneously.

Bu sta Rhymes and David Lee Roth.Hmm…In a NYC studio…both collaborating on a suprise track…a lot of screaming…a lot of sticky icky…So there’s your answer.

chris | 3/29/2007, 4:49 pm EST

Dave Matthews Band & Phish
Damon Albarn(Human)& Damon Albarn(Animation..Gorillaz)

J | 3/29/2007, 3:29 pm EST

I mean best artists, not best singers, of course. I don’t think anyone would disagree with me when I say Tweedy is a kind of poor singer, hehe. But I still love him!!

J | 3/29/2007, 3:28 pm EST

Thom Yorke and Jeff Tweedy. Britian’s best meets America’s best.

Live Free or Die | 3/29/2007, 3:26 pm EST

Thanks to jim jarmusch’s “Coffee and Cigs” we got to see Iggy and Tom Waits together, although obviously acting and a pretty uncomfortable. I would love to see the 2 go fishing and here what they say for real.

J-Odo | 3/29/2007, 3:06 pm EST

Liz | 3/29/2007, 2:59 pm EST

I HATE YOU CHRIS, & YOUR BAND SUCKS TOO!

Liz | 3/29/2007, 2:55 pm EST

Chris, you and the Crows suck!

Poll Girl | 3/29/2007, 2:54 pm EST

Morgan, I Love You

Liz | 3/29/2007, 2:53 pm EST

Yes Chris, I’ll go out with you; but only to discuss how much your band sucks.

Chris Richardson | 3/29/2007, 2:51 pm EST

Liz, can we go out tonight? Don’t delete this, or I’ll keep sending until you say yes.

Danny | 3/29/2007, 2:50 pm EST

Neil Young and Kurt Cobain talking about doing an accoustic concert together.

Rock Turtleneck | 3/29/2007, 2:47 pm EST

I remember reading once about Dylan & Springsteen going to dinner at Frank Sinatra’s house - I’d like to have been a fly on the wall for that one.

jill hives | 3/29/2007, 2:46 pm EST

boo!!! r.s. deleted my comment.
it was bound to happen s or l, but still, f that s!!!

Morgan | 3/29/2007, 2:45 pm EST

Yeah Timmay.. That was a little harsh. You’ll probably stand alone on that Lennon comment

Morgan | 3/29/2007, 2:44 pm EST

Lets be nice to Liz today. I truly believe she has seen the error of her ways and will think twice before slamming The Crows, thusly encurring the wrath of the rock loving public, again. Isn’t the Poll Girl hot?

Glovy | 3/29/2007, 2:41 pm EST

The whole Jack White/Jack Black thing already happened.

Glovy | 3/29/2007, 2:40 pm EST

Dear Timmay,
OH THANK GOD! Everyone I know was just awaiting your opinion on John Lennon! Now that you’ve told us, please crawl back under your bridge, you troll.

Oh, and I’m gonna go with what somebody said about the Dylan/Lennon meeting. Totally the best.

The Black Crowes | 3/29/2007, 2:35 pm EST

Hi Liz.

Jack White | 3/29/2007, 2:35 pm EST

Morgan | 3/29/2007, 1:59 pm EST

That Guy | 3/29/2007, 1:58 pm EST

Jim Morrison and Eddie Vedder

Morgan | 3/29/2007, 1:53 pm EST

How about Animal and Dr. Teeth from the Muppets

johnny walker | 3/29/2007, 1:47 pm EST

bilo | 3/29/2007, 1:37 pm EST

Brett | 3/29/2007, 1:35 pm EST

Morgan | 3/29/2007, 11:45 am EST

I like that Liz put a picture of Chris Richardson next to Luther and my future wife. I believe she’s repenting. Or she’s screwing with us.

Morgan | 3/29/2007, 11:41 am EST

Liz, several days ago, I didn’t like you very much. Today I think I love you. Hi Pole Girl! It’s me, Morgan! You’re very pretty today. To answer the question, which is a very good one, how about Clapton and Prince- (You’d be real hard pressed to find a living guitarist as good as EC, Prince can handle his own and is a musical genius, and I don’t believe they’ve ever colaborated together. Would be pretty interesting.

timmay | 3/29/2007, 11:32 am EST

JOhn lennon is a fuckin dickhead!
