During a recent interview with Classic Rock, Ghost’s Tobias Forge was asked who he would like to play guitar for if given the chance to join another band for a day. The frontman responded with the following:
“Good question. There’s several bands. I would have loved to be what Mick Taylor was in 1969, coming into the Rolling Stones at their best era – but I would have stayed around! That would have been a great experience. Very fun music to play. Definitely within the limits of what I can play really well. I spent a lot of time as a kid learning how to play guitar. Otherwise I would love to play in the Red Hot Chili Peppers; I love what John Frusciante does.”
