Saturday question #25 – Oddshow
Welcome to August! Here’s the 25th round of Saturday questions. We already had a lot of questions related to imaginary bands, festivals, tours et cetera…but this is a different spin. You have the supergroup, you have the tour, you have currated a festival…and now, let’s set a special, secret show in a totally odd place. What incredibly odd place would you play a live show at? Anything goes – from real places to virtual worlds. And this continues onto the last week’s brain tickle. For previous Saturday questions, click here.

Saturday question #24 – Trapped!
This is the Saturday question number twenty-four. Imagine you ended up being trapped in a film, book, video game, TV series or a work of art (e.g. landscape painting). Depending on the circumstances you’re in, the possible supernatural powers and violence the thing you’re trapped in is known for; you might be in danger, you might, why not, be 2d instead of 3d. Either way, sounds like too weird to be real, but perfectly normal for a Saturday question. So, where would you prefer to be trapped, given a chance that you can escape if it gets too dangerous? Why there and not somewhere else? What do you think you’d…

Saturday question #23 – To copy or not to copy?
OK, and now for something completely different. There’s that cartoon where a character in a talent audition says that he’s going to imitate Frankie, who’s imitating Ricky, who’s imitating Elvis. It might sound funny, but it probably is what everyone’s doing nowadays: regardless of the type of the performing art – acting, music, comedy, and it probably occurs in the other types of arts as well as in design, journalism, perhaps even science and politics. So, this week’s Saturday question is: do you think copying is OK? If you think so, are you copying anyone in anything? Also, if you’re not doing it, who else’s doing it and whom are…

Saturday question #22: Trade places for a day!
This week’s question is one of ’em creative ones. I hope you’ll enjoy it. Imagine having an unique chance to trade places with someone else for a day. You can be in their skin for 24 hours, do whatever you think you should be doing. And they can be you. It’s tricky, they could improve your life, they could also mess things up…then again, you could do the same to them. Either way, a risky, yet fun thing; dealt with in many books, films and other works of art. Let’s give it a go. Who would you trade places with for a day and what would you do, being them?…

Saturday question #21: Pets, pets, pets!
Welcome to the 21st edition of Saturday questions. Today we have the first-ever guest question and it popped up totally spontaneously. And it’s a nice question. Robyn asks: If you could have any creature as a pet (exclude endangered species and anything that for its own quality of life should not live in captivity or with humans) what would you have?

Saturday Question #20: How would you redo Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Guitarists list?
Welcome to the 20th edition of Saturday questions. This week was supposed to be the first guest question week, but that’ll be done next week instead, as this suddenly popped up. Many of you probably were around and into all this when the eminent Rolling Stone magazine published their 100 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time list (if navigation, for any reason, doesn’t work over there, click here for text-only view of the list). Now, many people also disagreed with the placement of their favourite guitarists or, even worse, some of them being completely left out of this list. So, if you had to make this list of greatest guitarists of…

Saturday question #19: Your Own Tour
Welcome to…eeeh, you know the deal, so I shall skip this. Some weeks ago, you created supergroups. There was a dream festival, too. This week, there’s a tour. The only thing that’s missing. Your newly-created supergroup, that you’re either a member of or the manager of has to visit ten places accross the globe. Which ten do you pick? You can even specify the venues if you like.

Saturday question #18: Dream setlist, part two: JF
Welcome to the 18th edition of Saturday questions. Looks like the last week’s question regarding your dream setlists for Red Hot Chili Peppers’ shows was so popular that it got more comments than some of posts regarding The Empyrean and John’s blog. Well, this week’s question is similar. And, of course, it should not be taken too seriously and it’s not implying anything…in case that was not obvious. You get to pick a setlist for one of John’s solo shows, no matter where and when. You can pick 25 songs, counting cover songs too, and you can add anything you would consider fitting, whenever you like. So, what’s your dream…

Saturday question #17: Dream setlist, part one: RHCP
Welcome to the 17th edition of Saturday questions on a sunny June day. If it’s not sunny where you are, well, too bad, hope sunshine will come your way! This week and next week’s questions will be, like, sister questions and rather straightforward. You get to pick a setlist for a RHCP show. You can pick 18 songs, counting John’s cover songs too, and you can add regular jams, drum & trumpet, bass & trumpet, treatment jams whenever you like. So, what’s your dream setlist for a RHCP show?

Saturday question #16: Your favourite music videos
Welcome to the 16th edition of Saturday questions, after the one week break. Basically, my internet was down from Friday last week to Monday this week and that’s where the break came from. This week we’re going back to the first-ever Saturday question, but it’s much more straightforward than making something. It’s about picking something the world has already seen. So…what’s your favourite music video?. For previous Saturday questions, click here
