Introductions

[TheDeadAdmin]

Hi...!

I thought we should start off with some introductions, mainly to get to know each other (if you're keen in participating). I thought we could list a few details, but feel free to omit anything you're not comfortable in sharing.

1) Your name?
2) Your location?
3) How did you find out about The Dead Weather?
4) What other music are you into?
5) Any hobbies or passions?
6) If you could pick four musicians (from different bands or solo artists) for a rock group, who would they be and why?

I'll post my answers below.

1) Your name?
Ryan

2) Your location?
Australia

3) How did you find out about The Dead Weather?
I heard Hang You From The Heavens on the radio, and the mention that Jack White was in the band... then I made the embarrassing assumption that Jack White was on vocals. How wrong I was.

4) What other music are you into?
I've liked the White Stripes for many years. Recent favourites include Arcade Fire, The Dresden Dolls, Goldfrapp, Cat Power, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Jenny Lewis, Joanna Newsom. Older favourites are Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Radiohead, The Dandy Warhols, Bjork and Tori Amos.

5) Any hobbies or passions?
Playing music, web development/design, computer game development

6) If you could pick four musicians (from different bands or solo artists) for a rock group, who would they be and why?
This is more of a novelty question which I'll pass on for now, mainly to avoid the painstaking process of narrowing down a list of my favourite musicians to a select four.

That... is a tough one.
I love John Frusciante... Him on guitar... Or maybe i'll say Jack White because I have to because I'm on a Dead Weather forum? haha Flea would have to be on bass, he's just awesome and has always been my musical inspiration. I couldn't pick vocalist and drummer... wow so essentially all I've done is worked that Flea can be in my super group
