Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: May 31 2002, 18:07 I've mentioned elsewhere that I reckon Patrick Moore (english eccentric astronomer and presenter of the longest running show on British TV, 'The Sky at Night') would be quite well suited...but, of course, I've been practising my Viv Stanshall impressions specially, so we won't be needing him Back to top

Shingebis Group: Members Posts: 26 Joined: Nov. 2001 Posted: May 31 2002, 19:35 Well, my choices (warning: British culture references ahead)... Jesse from The Fast Show: "This week, I 'ave been mostly playin'... glockenspiel." Hugh Grant: "Well, er, there are two guitars... and, ah, they seem to be, um, a bit, er, well, distorted actually." Murray Walker: "Well, it's a Spanish guitar... but what's this? Yes, I do Be-Lieve We Are In-Tro-Ducing... An A-Cou-Stic Gui-Tar!!!" Loyd Grossman: "Plus, tyoobyoolarr behhlls... in a rahspberry coulis." Back to top

oblique Group: Members Posts: 411 Joined: Mar. 2005 Posted: June 02 2002, 11:10 Talking about good ideas. My sincere apologies.

tubularbills Group: Members Posts: 528 Joined: Aug. 2000 Posted: June 02 2002, 11:59 I think i'd rather hear Mike himself, than someone else. although John Cleese's voice is rather distinct and interesting. Funniest voice to hear: Ben Stein. Tubular? Tubular? Tubular? Bells? Bells? Bells? Anyone? Anyone? -------------- Terrible, Wonderful, Crazy, Perfect. Back to top

Man In The Rain Group: Members Posts: 405 Joined: April 2002 Posted: June 03 2002, 17:09 I was actually just going to say that maybe Mike would use a female voice, seeing how he has done exclusively on TB3, TMB and now Tres Lunas - maybe he'll use his daughter again (is her name Greta?). I know that it annoyed some people but I thought that her voice was very effective on TB3...but then again I think Cleese would be a very good choice - or Animal from Muppets? Tuuuubulaaarrr Belllls!

qjamesfloyd Group: Members Posts: 1357 Joined: April 2001 Posted: June 05 2002, 10:43 I like the idea of John Cleese,but if not him,why a different voice for each instrument,that would be fun for Mike,if not that,then how about,1 male and 1 female voice,doing alternate instruments. Back to top

dgcaer Group: Members Posts: 72 Joined: Dec. 2000 Posted: June 05 2002, 12:39 It's a good idea, but MO just intend to remake TB as he want it, back in 1973, but was not able at this moment. This is not going to be a TB4 ! (I think) Back to top

qjamesfloyd Group: Members Posts: 1357 Joined: April 2001 Posted: June 07 2002, 16:39 Well,he can't just call it a re-make,because the original MC is dead. But what interest's me more,is what is the album going to be called,i mean he can't call it Tubular Bells!!can he?,and he can't really call it Tubular Bells 4 either,so,what do people think he could call it.? Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: June 07 2002, 19:27 I suppose that 'Tubular Bells 30' would be the obvious one. He could go for 'Tubular bells 2003' or even 'Tubular Bells revisited'...or something completely different (as Mr Cleese might say). Seeing as Mike's a Star Trek fan, he could go for 'Tubular Bells: the next generation'. Back to top

Tokimemo Group: Members Posts: 9 Joined: Aug. 2002 Posted: Aug. 09 2002, 04:23 What about Janet Brown as Maggie Thatcher? There is anyboy who likes the final extract of Amarok as a TB encarnation? Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Aug. 09 2002, 19:34 Mike did say in an interview that he liked the idea of Margaret Thatcher as MC, so you never know. Back to top

raven4x4x Group: Members Posts: 1535 Joined: Jan. 2002 Posted: Aug. 09 2002, 23:34 Please, not Thatcher!!!!!   I like the idea of Patrick Stewart, and I also think that Steven Hawing would sound cool, but a bit silly. If we wanted to get really silly, we could use Rowan Atkinson's Mr. Bean voice (If you can call it a voice! -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top
