Welcome to the 11th edition of Saturday questions.
After last week's excursion into "what if"; we're back to music this time. Since next weekend's updates on the site will depend on team work and collaborations a lot, the event people will be reporting from will depend on team work as well; since so many things in life depend on team work, this Saturday, we're focusing on team work...on duets, in particular.
What are your favourite duets?
Which people would you like to duet and why?

i dont know if its technically a duet, but the version of Hole's "Asking for It" featuring Kurt Cobain is chilling
Extreme - More Than Words..... a great song!
John Frusciante & Josh Klinghoffer - Omission
Coldplay feat. Michael Stipe - In The Sun
And I must add those Moulin Rouge duets, sung by Nicole Kidman and Evan McGregor, they are fascinating.
Which people would I like to duet and why?
***because they have great laidback vocals
-Jack Johnson & Vanessa Carlton (on back vocals) - or opposite
-Lenny Kravitz & Dave Grohl ***that would be mad!
-Imagine Pearl Jam with Anthony Kiedis on vocals! xD
That's it
The song from the latest movie about James Bond was very interesting: Jack White & Alicia Keys!
so true
For Sure!!!
well my favourite duets ( if you can call them that way) are:
john frusciante and josh klinghoffer- omission
red hot chili peppers and george clinton- all of their prefomances together.
tricky and anthony keidis- girls
tricky and john frusciante- wonder woman
anthony kiedis and madonna- the lady is a tramp ( weird cllaboration but who cares when it comes to anthony!).
i would like to see duet:
red hot chili peppers and foo fighters- that would be awsome!
john frusciante and mettalica- kirk and john will blow people's mind!
john frusciante and jimmy page- just the thought about it is brilliant!
didn't the Foo Fighters tour with the Peppers? They were together in the Off The Map DVD.
John Frusciante of course.. the next one is a bit harder..
I think someone with a dark voice, John frusciante omn "one more of me"
so John Frusciante and John Frusciante on "one ore of me" xD
or John Frusciante and Brandon Flower (The Killers)
My favorite duet is (most recently):
Omar Rodriguez-Lopez & Ximena Sarinana Rivera
i saw her performing with the ORL-Group and her singing was amazing! It would be awesome if they would release an album together. her singing on "How To Bill the Bilderberg Group" or "Las Flores Con Limon" is so beautiful. i'm listening to the bootlegs from the show all week and just can't get enough.
some fans were afraid she becomes some kind of a "yoko ono" for omar, but she turned out the coolest addition you could possibly exspect.
my biggest wish for a duet would be.....hmm...
either Radiohead and John
or Omar Rodriguez & Buckethead.
oh and i'm curious about the coming collaboration between john and vsnares.
An interesting idea for a jazz duet might be Diana Krall and John Wetton, both have amazing voices.
Far as straight-up performance I still would like to see Mike Einziger (Incubus) and Frank Zappa. A duet solo with those two would be all I need to live for a few years.
Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead) and John Frusciante (duh), just because I think those two could come up with some really amazing stuff.
Hmm, Bill Bruford(King Crimson, Earthworks, Bill Bruford Band) and Danny Carey(Tool, Pygmy Love Circus) would be an awesome drum duet.
Robert Fripp (King Crimson, Giles Giles & Fripp, League of Crafty Guitarists) and Larry Lalonde (Primus, No Forcefield) would be an amazing guitar duet as well.
yeah, robert fripp + larry lalonde would be sick!
Oh hell I forgot my favorite duets that have been recorded.
David Bowie and Bing Crosby- White Christmas
Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters- Tonight You Belong to Me (From the movie "the Jerk")
Orson Welles and Frozen Peas- Frozen Peas (That counts right?)
Otis Redding and Carla Thomas- Tramp
Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Jordan- Baby Its Cold Outside
there, so now thats done.
hmm... John Frusciante & Eddie Vedder
?
iggy pop + david bowie = electronic rock and roll (lust for life and the idiot)
and i would love to see johnny greenwood (radiohead guitarist) and john doing some awesome electronic goodness
My biggest wish is to see the following duets taking place:
- John Frusciante and Marty Friedman (The duet of guitar gods)
- John Frusciante and Joe Satriani
- Flea and Jason Newsted (The duet of bass gods)
"- John Frusciante and Marty Friedman (The duet of guitar gods)" Yeah! It could be great!
Jeff Buckley and John Frusciante. The two greatest voices in all of music. R.I.P. JB
JB and JF. I like it
Thom york & P.J. Harvey - the mess we're in. Such a beautiful combination of voices. Whenever I hear it I can't help but stop whatever I'm doing to listen.
John and Chris Martin would be fun I think!
Anthony rappin some lyrics to the guitar of John Butler>)
i would have to say John and Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton!!!
Flea and John!!!#1
john frusciante and joanna newsom
john frusciante and chan marshall of cat power! that would truly be heavenly
