[Music] Musicians/artists you’ve seen in multiple different guises.

[Herr Tubthumper]

I’m going to see The Good, The Bad, The Queen on Sunday. I have seen Damon Albarn as Blur, Gorillaz, solo, TGTBTQ and also seen his two operas. That’s 5

I’ve seen Nick Cave with the Bad Seeds, solo, acoustic*, in conversation and as Grinderman. Also 5.

Which artists have done more? Johnny Marr comes to mind.

Have you seen anyone more?



* the loudest acoustic show I have ever witnessed.

 

[METALMICKY]

Slipknot obviously!

 

[marlowe]

Victoria Beckham:
Spice Girls
Solo artist
True Steppers with Dane Bowers
Unfortunately I've never had the opportunity to see any of them yet but I still live in hope.

 

[Biscuit]

Paul Heaton, The Housemartins, The Beautiful South and Biscuit Boy.

Here's Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott singing Happy Hour in a hotel room. Amazing. https://twitter.com/jamajestical/status/1088551745100435456

 

[gazingdown]

Robert Smith
In The Glove and Siouxie & The Banshees, both for a short time early 80s. I didn’t literally see him performing for them though.

 

[gazingdown]

One I have seen is Neil Halstead, performing solo (a couple of times) as Mojave 3 a couple of times and seen twice in Slowdive.
I can repeat the above for Rachel Goswell! Solo and in above bands! I have also seen her perform in a Zephyrs song when they supported Mojave 3. She is also in Minor Victories (sort of a supergroup with members of Editors and Mogwai). She’s just started another band with her husband so may check them out too.
Neil Halstead also in Black Hearted Brother but not sure they ever toured.

 

[ozzygull]

Phil Collins Solo

[Brovion]

Martin Cooper (often billed as Martin Fish)

Fish Brothers
Barnstormer
Spaz and Dave*
Cooper and Blonde

*After the sad death of Chas Hodges they're now know as the Two Runnies

 

[Grombleton]

The only person i've seen in more than one group is Dave Grohl; in the Foo Fighters and Them Crooked Vultures.

 

[Mellotron]

Seen Jon Theodore play drums for The Mars Volta, Mini Mansions and Queens of the Stone Age - absolute monster of a drummer.

Snap – pretty much. I've seen Slowdive, Mojave 3 and a solo gig by Rachel when she released Waves Are Universal.

Tanya Donelly and Kristin Hersh also achieve that hat-trick for me. Seen both in Throwing Muses (over 30 times, I was a big fan!), and both solo. Then I've also seen Tanya play as Belly 3 or 4 times, and Kristin as 50 Foot Wave a couple of times. One regret is I never saw Tanya in the first iteration of The Breeders.

Our tastes must overlap quite a bit! I’ve seen Kristen Hersh solo at Shepherd Bush but never got to see TD/Belly.

RG yes, it was the tour for Waves are universal i saw too. I saw here at the Jazz cafe, Camden. Odd support act too “Songdog” as I recall....

 

[Pogue Mahone]

I have seen Budgie drumming for The Slits, Siouxsie and the Banshees and Jon Grant.

Joe Strummer in The Clash, Solo, The Mescaleros and The Latino Rockabilly War.

Barrie Cadogan in Little Barrie,Primal Scream and with Morrissey.

Mick Jones in The Clash, Big Audio Dynamite and Gorillaz.

Jack White in The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather and solo.

Gruff Rhys in Super Furry Animals, Neon Neon, solo.

I can't reach five guises (yet) HT. I will think on.

 

[pasty]

Phil Collins Solo

Robert Plant at Wembley Arena with Alison Krauss

Still touring so hopefully see him in the future as well!

 

[bhafc99]

I saw her at the Jazz cafe, Camden.

Yeah, that's even the same gig, I'm sure!

(TBH, I mostly remember it because I went with a girl who worked at Beggars Banquet. They owned 4AD records and thus Rachel Goswell and Mojave 3. She seemed to know half the people there, and kept introducing me in a really loaded way, which finally clicked when she made a pass at me at the bus stop afterwards. Unfortunately I didn't fancy her at all!)

 

[HantsSeagull]

elvis Costello - the attractions, the imposters, solo, Brodsky quartet, allen Toussaint, and numerous others I cant remember.

 

[SAC]

Paul Weller. Solo, Style Council and The Jam.

 

[Eric Potts]

I think the best I can do is 3 incarnations. Joe Strummer : The Clash , The Pogues ( when Shane was " indisposed " for a while ) and The Mescaleros .
