I had a dream

[Matt Till]

That Phil Collins asked me to be his touring bassist.

The weird thing is I said yes.
The weirder thing is we didn't have any practices
The weirdest thing was I sounded awful/faked the basslines
The weirder weirdest thing was the tour manager asked me if I could stick with the tour because I sounded great.


I think I'm stressed about getting offers to join so many bands/balancing too much musically with everything else.

 

[AuG]

That's pretty weird.

That's the way I understand dreams. the more daily stress I'm under, the more vivd my dreams become.

 

[Matt Till]

I was trying to convince Phil to do some old school Genesis stuff though, that part was pretty accurate.

No doubt, this has something to do with your mother.

I had a dream where Kevin Garnett joined the dark side and fought three Darth Vader's. Not even going to attempt to explain that one.

The dream before that was me getting my hand bitten by a Great White. And for some reason I found it funny. I think that one seriously is about this cover band I just joined. The shark represents the suckiness of the 80's and that is what I'm afraid it'll turn into. The lead guitarist already has the 80's guitar chop box and mullet. We are one Steve Perry from being Wheel in the Sky, the best Journey tribute band in the Pacific Northwest.

Sounds like a nightmare to me

I saw Phil Collins sing his first live song with Genesis in 1973 - we were all hoping that he wouldn't do any more and would leave it to Gabriel!!

There must be stress in my bass playing life too. My bass dreams are I'm on stage with a great band and there's a huge audience, and I don't know the song we're playing. It's a weird feeling cuz I just know I won't know any of the songs we're going to play.

The other dream is we're playing on top of this big mountain, and the audience is far far away in a valley. I've got this huge amp, but the speakers are really cheap and I know no one will hear me and the band will be mad at me. Very frustrating dreams.

But, at real gigs, everything goes ok.

Why is it weird? I'd love to fill Leland Sklar (and by extension Nathan East's) chair...

 

[SuperDuck]

Hey, I would do it. If he did some Genesis stuff, you could play "Invisible Touch". That has some awesome bass in it.

Actually, I'd tour with PC for sure... but I don't think I'm good enough.

I have his greatest hits, there is some stellar bass playing on a few tunes. But I wouldn't be down with his modern "disney" music.

But really... I'm not good enough.

 

[Musiclogic]

Chester Thompson says that he couldn't carry Phils jock on drums, yet he's played with genesis and Phil for a hundred years.....LMAO

Matt you may not think you are good enough, but through your dream, it shows that you still have aspirations. Keep practicing. You never know what might fall in your lap. It's not always how good you are, but how competent you can be.

BTW....it was a dream.....the mind works in funny ways....LMAO

 

[Matt Till]

You're right!!! I'm callin' Phil right now and telling him I'm a go for the tour!!

According to Freud, the content of your dreams usually reflects secret and not-so-secret wishes you have. Perhaps you just want a really long beard like Lee Sklar's?
