Your "Fantasy Band" For PRINCE

With all the talk of old members returning to Prince’s band I thought it would be fun to make a “fantasy band” for Prince. Feel free to make yours. I'd like to see other people's choices.

The following are fantastic musicians that I would LOVE to see make up Prince’s band for a world tour.

PRINCE – Lead Guitar, Vocals and Whatever

JOHN TAYLOR – Bass

*Bass player for Duran Duran

Nile Rodgers – Rhythm and back up guitar

*Former guitarist for Chic

LARRY MULLEN, Jr. – Drums

*Drummer for U2

Tori Amos – Piano and Organ

Jan Kincaid – Keyboards

*Keyboardist for The Brand New Heavies

Andy Hamilton – Sax

*Played with

Duran Duran, Elton John, Wham!, Pet Shop Boys, Tina Turner, George Michael, Paul McCartney, Radiohead, Bon Jovi and David Bowie

Mac Gollehon – Trumpet

*Played with Duran Duran, David Bowie, Grace Jones, Power Station, Steve Winwood, Laurie Anderson and Mick Jagger

Nice picks here. I would add Michael B on drums and David Bowie's crazy piano player (Mike something). I also think that Tony Levin would be a good bass player option for P too. I would then add Nick Rhodes on keys. It would be killer! And also Maxwell and Remy Shand on backing vocals.

NONSENSE

Tori would be an excellent add. She's not only a talented musician but her voice is amazing.

Prince may be the purple Yoda, but Wendy & Lisa and Eric Leeds also sit on the Jedi Council.

Sorry Tikicoladas,

Tori Amos doesn't have one single milligram of FUNK in her body. And funk is something you need to be in Prince's band.

Take it - like Clarence said:
"I got a million of them -
all different U know."
