I know what you're getting at Kev, but Liam's done the rock/dance thing now, owed it, now time to move out of his comfort zone and stick his Braintree fingers in some new musical pies. My dream is a techno/electro/D&B/dubstep type album, with his usual wizardry to turn them into an idiom of his own. That said, I would also burn down an orphanage to hear him do a musical piece using a full orchestra. Not reworks of classical pieces though, just a fusion of classical with electronica.
minus the dubstep - I'm in complete agreement.
Although the combination of classical and electronic music sounds crazy it actually works extremely well. Some of my favourite artists have done it with success. I would die to see Liam working with string intruments

have a listen to Wolfgang's 5th Symphony
Oh, in my opinion, The Dead Weather are awful..... I hope they go thier own way and not this style - if it turns out anything like this, I will not be buying it - which will be a 1st.
