Paul, Ringo and? (1 Viewer)

whoever their counterparts in the Fab Faux are.
Will Lee, who has been the bass player in Letterman's band going back to Late Night, is in the Fab Faux. So he'll be there anyway. As is Conan's musical director, Jimmy Vivino. There isn't really a tighter, more versatile band that you'll find than Letterman's band, so you can just use them.

 
Julian Lennon (not Sean, no friggin way) is a definite.

Harrison's got a son too fwiw, but I would throw Clapton in there because of his familiarity with Harrison's work and his style.

 
Trey and page?
Please God no.

I have to admit, I kinda like the idea of Paul, Ringo, Mick and Keith tearing through a bunch of old R&B covers like that all cut their teeth on. They're not exactly buddy-buddy so it's not going to happen, but I like that idea.

 
I think the simple answer is to just have Ringo play with Paul's band. At least that's the closest thing to having a realistic shot of happening.

If you really want to stick to having two fill-in replacements, I'm sure Clapton could play Harrison's guitar parts with ease (besides both being married to Pattie Boyd). And Liam Gallagher looks/sounds/acts/and was influenced by Lennon, so I would take him.

 
The two guys left from Run-DMC. My next door neighbor and her daughter had a favor...paperback writer!

 
Neil Finn would be interesting, as he can sound like John, George, AND Paul when he sings.

I'm sure Jeff Lynne would find a way to shoehorn himself in

I was going to say Julian Lennon and Jeff Lynn would be pretty good.

I'd go with Jeff Lynne over Clapton. May not have the same name draw, but Lynne and Harrison were very close, and we're in the Traveling Wilbury's together, plus Lynne produced a few of Harrison's albums (not to mention the new Beatles songs Free as a Bird and Real Love.) He's also produced for McCartney and Starr.

 
Well, definitely Boy George for one.
Elton John could be the other.
Please be joking. The last thing anyone currently extant on this planet needs is to hear more rehashed crap from Sir Reginald Dwight.
Not that I have any interest in seeing him involved with this, but John and Taupin have been on a pretty good run since Songs From the West Coast.
Yep. Elton's most recent album is especially good.

 
Would love for Julian Lennon to come back for this, but it seems like he's been out of the game for a long time. Is that for a reason?

Also like the Neil Finn call. Among unmentioned vocalists, I think Bono, Paul Carrack, and Robbie Williams would do a solid job.

As for guitarists, lynne or Clapton are good choices. Would very intrigued if Prince, Brian May, or David Gilmour were to step in.

 
I don't know, but I always wished Yoko Ono had married the late Sonny Bono and they had adopted Bono of U2, and could have toured as the Bono-Ono-Bono project.
