So you're starting a band...

[AzzSazzin<TWM>]

Ok I'll throw out my favorite party question. Since we have so many musicians I'm interested to see what everybody comes up with.

So here is the premise. You are starting a band and you can have any artist alive or dead playing any instrument and ego is not a consideration (we will just assume they will all get along:anim_27:) So who is in your dream lineup?


Mine:
Lead Guitar: Have to go with Jimmi Hendrix here but there are soooo many to choose from.

Rhythm Guitar: George Harrison the most underappreciated Beatle IMO

Bass: Bootsy Collins Man I would have loved to hear him and Jimmi jam together.

Drums: Ginger Baker just rock steady

Vocals: Me (lolz) cause its my wet dream isn't it!


Musicians feel free to shred my choices!! :sign0002:

[A Spiral Ham]

Drums- Neal Peart or Stuart Copeland
Bass/Backing Vocals?- Les Claypool or Linley Marthe
Lead Guitar- Slash or SRV
Rhythm-( if its Slash-Buckethead or Allen Collins, if its SRV-Eric Clapton or Eric Johnson (John Mayer???))
Vocals-Mat Bellamy????
And for some weird backroundy synth maybe Daft punk or the Chemical Bros.
:sign0021:
:anim_27: <--- Epic Rock band 1337 sauce.

[Prosthetics]

Bass/Backing Vocals: Marco Hietala (Nightwish)
Lead Guitar: Skwisgaar Skwigelf (Dethklok lol)
Rhythm Guitar: James Root (Slipknot)

[cykodryver]

hey I say if it's your "dream" it can be whoever including "cartoons" hey somebody plays the guitar on the show so who cares

and if I was making a band I'd put hitler on drums

god on lead guitar cuz I think he'd rock it

jesus can play tambourine

the devil on bass

the geico gecko on vocals

chuck norris as a front man giving out free roundhouse kicks to the face to anyone who wants one

me on the chicago typewriter

and i'd have Mozart, Beethoven, and Wagner come together and come up with a score so amazing you'd cream yourself if you heard just the title

and george washington can chop down a mystical exploding metal cherry tree with a bad ass axe
and instead of wooden teeth he'd have teeth made out of plasma , as in ionized gas(think the sun) not ... one of the other types

[Enlightened Fool]

Agreed cyko, best lineup!!!!

[XrazorX]

Lead Guitarist - Alexi Laiho (Children of Bodom) or Kirk Hammet (Metallica)
Bass - Michael "Flea" Balzary (Red hot Chilli Peppers)
Drums - Lars Ulrich (Metallica)
Keyboard - Janne Wirman (CoB)
Rythm - Dimebag Darrel (Pantera)

sure dimebag is lead but theyre both sick guitarists so it'd work

Wouldnt the devil be on lead guitar? I can imagine all those insane riffs luci can pull out.


@ manbearpig: Lars?! you kidding me right? Lars = over rated!

[Timmah!]

@ manbearpig: Lars?! you kidding me right? Lars = over rated!

QFT. I'd take David Grohl over Lars any day of the week.

[XrazorX]

hes the first one that came to mind, i dont mind his beats but ill be honest i hate drums and fail to think of one drummer that can impress me, im just a metallica fan so i threw him in

that and id switch out dime bag and throw in kerry king from slayer since hes an actual rythm guitarist it'd make more sene that way

[A Spiral Ham]

Grohl is a better drummer then guitarist. Chris Shiflett on the other hand makes the FF riffs sound way good.

[ShangoXG]

uugh you're making me research stuffzss.
one second, i've got something here.

Vocals - Tim Lambesis (As i lay dying [NOT a freaking emo band even though the name sounds like one!!])

Lead Guitar - Luke Hoskin (Protest the Hero)

Rhythm Guitar 1 - Adam Dutkiewicz (Killswitch Engage, also freaking hilarious onstage...)

Rhythm Guitar 2 - ME! (I am so awesome)

Drummer - Daniel Svensson (In Flames)

Man...now i want to listen to what this would sound like so badly...

[Heretic]

Bass - Lee Sklar
Drums - Charlie Adams
Lead Guitar - Joe Walsh
Rhythm Guitar - Don Felder
Main Keyboard - Ming Freeman
Secondary Keyboard - Myself
Vocals - Myself, Peter Cetera

[Frodo De Mar]

Vocals- Anti-Lulz??

[stewbee]

This is a really tough question to answer. For me it depends on what kind of music I would want. Genres aside, here are the best people for their given trade IMHO:

Bass: Victor Wooten (Bela Fleck and the Flecktones)
Rhythm Guitar: Robert Fripp (King Crimson)
Lead Guitar: (This is tough!) Jimi Hendrix
Drums: old school Neal Peart (Rush)
Vocals: Maynard James Keenan (Tool)
Keyboards: John Medeski (Medeski Martin and Wood)

for good measure:
Programming: Cevin Key (Skinny Puppy)
Jazz guitar: John Scofield

[Sryden..,.]

Vocals - Maynard James Keenan (Tool)
Guitar - Adam Jones (Tool)
Drums - Danny Carry (Tool)
Bass - Justin Chancellor (Tool)

[Prosthetics]

Vocals - Maynard James Keenan (Tool)
Guitar - Adam Jones (Tool)
Drums - Danny Carry (Tool)
Bass - Justin Chancellor (Tool)

Sryden - is a tool

[ShangoXG]

haha lol, tool is your dream band...how did i know someone would just say all the members from a band :)

[Timmah!]

Grohl is a better drummer then guitarist. Chris Shiflett on the other hand makes the FF riffs sound way good.
Oh hell yes... which, by the way, is what we were talking about. A little piece of trivia to go with this: Grohl did the first FooFighters album completely by himself (well, with one minor exception). Anyway, yeah, I've been a Grohl-as-a-drummer fan since I heard Scentless Apprentice and learned that he uses a single bass drum.

Can I use Dave Grohl for every spot? j/k:D

[A Spiral Ham]

Lolz yes you can. :anim_30:

[Sryden..,.]

haha lol, tool is your dream band...how did i know someone would just say all the members from a band :)

To be honest that was a little bit lazy, more considered list:

Clint Mansell - Composer/Producer
Tom Waits - Songwriter/Singer
Mike Patton - Lead Singer (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle)
Robert Fripp - Lead Guitar (King Crimson)
Adam Jones - Rythm Guitar (Tool)
Les Claypool or Tony Levin - Bass (Primus, King Crimson)
Danny Carey - Drums (Tool)

This guy Linley Marthe is nasty sick. :confused0068: :eek:

[ShangoXG]

ooh sryden not bad, some quite good choices there, now thats a cooler list.
im surprised no one has put the guy from Red Hot Chilli Peppers for the Bass part, although i dont listen to them much, he is sick with a bass, freaking kickass.
i woulda put him on my list but it don't rly fit in with the genre of the rest of the band members.
infact i dont think i even put a bassist....whoops

[XrazorX]

Lead Guitarist - Alexi Laiho (Children of Bodom) or Kirk Hammet (Metallica)
Bass - Michael "Flea" Balzary (Red hot Chilli Peppers)
Drums - Lars Ulrich (Metallica)
Keyboard - Janne Wirman (CoB)
Rythm - Dimebag Darrel (Pantera)

sure dimebag is lead but theyre both sick guitarists so it'd work



yeah, becaus im that cool

[CoolJon]

Lead Guitar - Bela Fleck
Other guitar - Matt "Guitar" Murphy (Blues Brothers)
Drums - Dave Weckel (Rush)
More Drums - Mickey Hart (Grateful Dead)
Bass - Victor Wooten (Flecktones)
Vox + Harmonica - John Popper (Blues Traveler)
Keys - Keith Emerson (ELP)
And the hornline from Chicago

That band would make some sweet tunes unlike any you've ever heard before.

[ShangoXG]

oh snap XrazorX, didnt notice that! nice :D
