if you could have any 2 (electronic or otherwise)
musician's skills, which musician would you choose and why?
i would probably have to go with rdj and steve vai (not that
i particularly enjoy his music, he is just a good
guitarist.)

it'd be kinda cool if someone made some electronic cat
stevens remixes, except it would really be complete utter
blasphemy..

John Lennon, because I don't give too much of a shit about
technical skills/virtuosity (I'M probably a better guitarist
than he was!) but I BADLY want songwriting skills like
those. If I could write a song like Ticket to Ride, I'd be
on Cloud 9.

Squar pushah
... cos of his ear for samples and stitching them together
at high speed and his overall sense of groove, which seems
to come from another universe

Gerry lee lewis... his skills on the piano and his way with
weeeemmannnn

process?

hmm... i'd like the cool (hippie-like? ^^) careless attitude
of RDJ, and the beauty of... i don't know, a pretty
musician, there are plenty of them!

musical skills? i don't know. i think i'd like to have any
talent, i don't care much for in what it is, in electronic
music, or in non-electronic music, or in drawing, or in
painting, or in writing, or...

i probably should have picked someone who can write good,
memorable songs, and not just someone who is technically
good, like vai... but i wish i was able, like him, to pick
up an instrument (such as guitar) and immediately be able to
express myself as well and easily as possible, and be able
to improvise in any key/etc without the fear of playing a
"wrong" note, it would be like playing an extension of your
body, and i would not have to be constantly challenged while
playing the instrument like i am now..

rhythms.

-stevie ray vaughn.
-robert smith.

i'm sorry, but the cure is just amazing, and robert smith
doesn't get the credit he deserves for the music he makes.
he's incredible.

of course i could name a dozen others, but. eh. these were
the first two that came to mind.

Autechre for being savy in technology

Bethoveen because he is a genius in composition that makes
extremely complex but yet accessible stuff...

Between three... I couldn't pick

Serge Rachmaninoff
One of the most underrated composers of the 19-20th century.
The guy is simply brilliant with orchestrations and
melodies.

Charlie Parker
Listen to this guy's soloing, you'll here tiny licks from
everything from nursery rhymnes to grateful dead... total
mastery of his instrument

RDJ
Obviously

Mozart or someone like that... just to have an inside out
understanding of music and theory and all, that would be
amazing...

my only claim to fame is that i taught myself prelude in c#
minor. can't play anything else on the piano. hehe.
rachmaninoff is my hero.
