Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Ok was thinking about this the other day and chatted about it with a couple of friends. Think of a group that you like, if you could fire one of the members who would it be and why would you fire them?? You have to give a reason...and you can be as detailed as you want.

blind-fitter Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 To be fair, Uncle Joe should take some credit. He posted then deleted (for some reason?), but it prompted me to post my own response. But thanks for the plaudits, everybody. I'm always happy for a few crumbs from your table....

edna Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I´d fire Ron Wood and bring back Mick Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I'd fire the new guy in INXS....because he's an ex Elvis Impersonator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Robbie Robertson from The Band if they were still together. He has an attitude about him and his ego seemed to be the most important thing to him. I think the group would have lasted longer if he had not been involved.

Crazy Don Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I would most definitely fire Michael McDonald from the Doobie Brothers! He changed the group so much that it didn't sound like they did before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I would most definitely fire Michael McDonald from the Doobie Brothers! He changed the group so much that it didn't sound like they did before! Isn't that the truth??? And we get to claim him here in my hometown. I've wanted to find his parents house and ask just what is his deal? Take a perfectly good band and run it into the grouind!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 But who would've written the songs? Well maybe the remaining members would of had a chance to write or bring in someone new. I just don't care for Robbie, my opinion tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I understand you, Jane. Robbie wasn't a very endearing person. Many, including Peaches, share your disdain for him. The Band was a collection of very talented artists and performers. While I'm certain they'd have succeeded without Robertson I also believe they'd not have been as good. He was the driving force behind and in front of the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewYorkMets9 Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Noel Redding from the Jimi Hendrix Experience because he didn't really add anything. Same for Charlie Watts for the Rolling Stones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Not so much firing, but forced retirement or repositioning for Elton John. He can't come close to the high notes anymore and a baritone Elton John is just not the same. Retire from performing and start a school for gifted young musicians.

phil Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 David Lee Roth from Van Halen because he's a no talent flipping idiot. If he never met Eddie Van Halen, he'd be singing oldies at the Elk's club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 I'd fire Ron Wood or whoever the Stones' guitar player is and get Brian Jones back in. Then, I'd fire..ahh, can't fire someone in the Who. } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 I'd fire Ron Wood or whoever the Stones' guitar player is and get Brian Jones back in. And how would you manage that exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtstuff Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 I know he wasn't a member of the band, but I would have fired colonel Tom Parker. He destroyed Elvis. rtstuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 I'd of fired Dave Stewart so that Annie Lennox could have , avoided alot of heartache and gotten started on a solo career earlier . She's a bit of a freak , but I've always felt oddly protective of her for no reason in particular other than she's hot . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
