Title: Fantasy Arena
Post by: Solomon on Tue, 2005-05-10, 21:44:47
As a lifelong avoider of football, and anything associated with it, the concept of creating an imaginary team to compete with other imaginary teams leaves me somewhat cold, but ...

In all the history of Arena there have been more than a couple of leavings and arrivals.

Has anyone considered, out of all the members of Arena, past and present, who should have stayed but went, and who should have gone but stayed ? I know that these thoughts have occured to me. I will just pose the question.

Of all the members which combination would be the best ?

The present, since Arena naturally evolved to this formation and that evolving probably helped Arena in becoming who they are now and how they have grown as a band.

I can't add too much experience here, as I've been a fan only since the beginning of the Contagion tour 2003. Nevertheless, I'm very happy with the current formation. Everything about it makes it special. Hope it's going to last..!

The current line up is THE line up.

This is the lineup that works, they all sound excellent together.  Arena have now done 3 out of 7 studio albums with this lineup, -more than the previous lineups. This ought to be proof that Rob, John, Clive, Ian, and Mick are a comfortable unit, and are here to stay (no pun intended!)  ;D

I used to recycle my teeth when I was a kid.  Found out where "the tooth fairy" stored them (in a little plastic tub right at the back of a drawer in the living room).  Managed to get one through 3 times @ 50p each before I got busted :)
