If you could add one musician to the band who would it be??
and why?
I don't see a reason to add anyone. I love MMJ the way they are. But i'm curious to be proven wrong.
Kermit the frog cuz he's dope.

I enjoy both these answers. I was thinking Nels Cline but really no need for that the band is perfect.
Damn Skippy

Best and only answer.
neko case? i would go for a female vocalist, but not one that would over power jimmy. neko seemed to be a great fit when they toured together a couple of years ago.
I see no need to tinker.
The world is full of bands with issues and clashing personalities.
Fortunately, that does not seem to be the case with MMJ so why mess with a good thing?
Count M'Butu. I personally wouldn't like to see any changes or adds, but that's my pick for this hypothetical game. Adding a world class percussionist to the best rhythm section in the biz would be a treat and wouldn't alter the overall sound too much, as would horns or some foreign vocalist.
Johnny Quaid of course. I think it would be cool to see how MMJ would evolve with an original guitarist returning to the fold.
I often wonder if Mr Quaid wonders what could have been. Are there any good articles or stories of why he left or what he has been up to over the last decade?

I totally agree, I would LOVE to see Johnny back and a three guitar attack.
I'm all for adding one more. I would lean towards a percussionist, but I'm not picky. I remember reading somewhere that based on an old philosophy that the perfect number of members for a band is 6 because there is a belief that perfect synchonicity is 7 minds (each representing a certain type of cognizant) and when you have 6 band members the crowd represents the 7th mind as the overall conscious. I wish i could remember the details. Was it maybe regarding the Hydra?

Dude you are blowing my mind!
Hail HYDRA!

I'm a fan. But would be completely happy with a percussionist instead of a second kit.

Patrick's too much of a beast... He'd get primal if another drummer stepped into is cage! :wink:

I agree with this, but just sayin I'd love the depth of 2 kits. Wouldn't find much value in adding a lighter percussionist (don't need congos or bongos or xylophone BS like Moe.) (Sry G - just spitballing) Overall, I say don't fix it if it ain't broken

All good. I think of it more like a hybrid drummer/precussionist like Mickey Hart. And if they're adding a 6th (which I doubt, they've got a pretty damn good chemistry right now) I'll take a Mickey Hart over a Donna Godchaux :wink:
