ideal band

i was talking to my drummer (who likes queen as well) what would be the best band.

we came up with a band where you cant have members from your favourite band and can only have 1 member from another band.

we came up with

Drummer-dave grohl (foo fighters/nirvana)
bass-flea (chilli peppers)
guitarist kirk hammett (metallica)
guitarist slash (velvet revolver/GNR)
singer paul rodgers (free/bad company)

we chose it bocause they have a good diversity and will mix these tastes into one hybrid


what would your band be

Can you use dead people to make the band?

Roger Taylor from the Reaction
Brian May from 1984
John Deacon from the Art Opposition
Freddie Bulsara from Ibex

Something like that.... :)

Here is mine...

John Lennon - Guitar, Vocals
Johnny Cash - Guitar, Vocals
Scotty Moore - Guitar
Willie Nelson - Guitar, Vocals
Paul McCartney (Wings) - Bass, Vocals
Benmont Tench - Piano, Keys
Max Weinberg - Drums
and...

Elvis Presley - Jumpsuit, Mic

Flea is the best bass player I can think of. He's amazing.

and yes you can use dead people in the list

Freddie Mercury - vocals, piano
Dave Grohl - drums
Slash and Brian May - guitars

second

I personally favor Billy Sheehan and John Myung in the best bassist category.

Anyway, my band would be a little different.

I'm going to start with drummers, because mine is so clearly going to be Buddy Rich. In my opinion, all other drummers fade in comparison. And I'm talking Baker, Bonham, Peart, Moon...you name it: neophytes.

For guitarists, I will have to go with Paul Gilbert. Amazing, harmonious, technical, creative. One of my all time favorite guitarists.

As a bassist, I will opt not to choose Sheehan as he was a bandmate of Gilbert's, and we want some variety here. Myung takes it.

Vocals...uh...to be honest, I don't care about any stipulations on this band...there can be only one: Freddie Mercury. It's kind of like the Buddy Rich type-deal. Except I thought I might have come up with somebody else in this category. Nope.

This band seems to lean towards heavy rock, but I have my faith in Rich that he would have been able to perfectly adapt to this scenario, while preserving his big band flair.

Lynyrd F*cking Skynyrd would disagree with you

'i can see dead people'
so here's mine:

Randy rhoads - guitar
John Bonham - drums
Freddie Mercury - Vocals/piano
John Entwhistle - Bass

the thing with Randy is we can only ever imagine how fucking good he would get

but those two first Blizzard albums gave me enough to see - he was fucking awesome...
he was even going back to school to learn classical - when he was taken away from this earth.....and only in his early 20s


his Quiet Riot stuff was cool too

My ideal band would be something like this:

Freddie Mercury - frontman, vocals, piano

Steve Lukather - Guitars, volcals
Mike Porcaro - Bass
(both Toto)

Brian May - Guitars
Roger Taylor - Drums

My Ideal Band Would Be
Michael Jackson On Vocals
Lars Ulrich On Drums
Freddie Mercury On Piano
Toni Iommi On Guitar
Danny Maranda On Bass
