Would you rather DMB bring back Santana or Bela as a guest?

nyrkicks6 · 08-21-2009, 03:36 PM

Of course i would rather have bela come back and indulge in a 20 minute #41 or LIOG because i think the flecktones are the best guest DMB has ever had. .

However, if Santana came back, it would provide a whole different array of songs that would be played, the return of Mother Father, some love of my life, and maybe a watchtower

Also, who knows what kind of damage these 2 can put on Big Whiskey. .what songs do you think they're styles would suit best?

dmbbearcat · 08-21-2009, 03:36 PM

Why would the return of Mother Father ever be a good thing?

jiggajm18 · 08-21-2009, 03:37 PM

why the fuck would you want them to bring back mother father

dmbbearcat · 08-21-2009, 03:37 PM

I beat you

WaltzingBack · 08-21-2009, 03:38 PM

Bela.

Santana's kinda lost his flair lately. his playing is not what it used to be, he's very messy and recycles a lot in his solos. plus, he's basically sold out b/c he played Smooth with all the American Idol contestants earlier this year *barf*

Speilmen230 · 08-21-2009, 03:40 PM

bela fleck by miles and miles. they already have a lead guitar... Tim..

bela brings a whole new element to the band.

efraser77 · 08-21-2009, 03:40 PM

Bela, because I've seen Santana guest, and because what Bela does to DMB songs is just beautiful. (See: LT7)

not to mention that Tim Reynolds is way more talented than Santana right now. Santana's at a point in his life where he owns chain restaurants of overpriced Mexican food and plays on American Idol. Tim is in his prime right now.

nyrkicks6 · 08-21-2009, 03:43 PM

i enjoy Mother Father, if it wasn't on everyday, it wouldn't get such a bad rap. . i think it would be pretty bad ass with Timmy letting loose

Because it's a good song.

broydan · 08-21-2009, 03:58 PM

haha you guys just cut up the OP... truth tho, no one wants back Mother Father. I went with Santana, but just by a hair, and because SantanaSpeak is funny.

MsEmilyNYC · 08-21-2009, 04:03 PM

Bela!!

GinaNMU · 08-21-2009, 04:04 PM

I LOVE Santana, but Bela just sounds perfect with the band.

spoot388 · 08-21-2009, 04:07 PM

Bela is so overrated. the banjo does not work on most songs he plays on, yet he is still there.

thedrumster12 · 08-21-2009, 04:08 PM

love the banjo sound with this band

Bela no doubt

bothedmbfan · 08-21-2009, 04:39 PM

Hmmmm, arguably the most overrated guitar player of all time or a #41 that lasts forever...

I'll take Santana.

I'd really prefer either none, or both.

Not that this is a revelation, but I blame Napoleon Hill's book Think and Grow Rich.

jmband · 08-21-2009, 04:49 PM

well with Tim around, id think the next guest I really want to see is Warren Haynes, and after him Bela, of course Santana would be great...

smokew11 · 08-21-2009, 04:56 PM
