I know what you mean. How ever, when you put all the guys together, John, Brian, Rog and Fred, you get Queen. One of the best Bands that ever performed on this earth.[/QUOTE]
yeah 100% agree-
drummer-Roger
bassist-John
Guitarist-Brian and Jimmi Hendrix[/QUOTE]
DRUMMER: can't believe so many think Roger is a great drummer...especially when more than half of his output used synths or elctronic drums...have these people not heard of John Bonham, Keith Moon, Nick Mason, Ginger Baker, Eric Carr and much of the beatles later output had better drumming than Roger's
BASSIST: - don;t make me laugh - John was good but not great - John Entwhistle, Flea, Bob Babbit, Bernard Edwards, Krist Novoselic, Sting, Chris Squire....they all beat John for abilty and having their own individual style
GUITAR: done this before...but here goes...Randy Rhoads, Tom Scholtz, Michael Schenker, Jimmy Page, Slash, George Harrison, Eddie Van Halen, Robert Fripp and Pete Townsend...
the whole point of queen...was nOT about individual greatness...but the sum of the parts...so lets not get so sychophantic about it, and stay objective.....good, very good but not great or greatest....the sum total made them the second greatest band ever...and that's good enough for me....especially when the greatest band ever (the beatles) didn't claim to have the greatest musicians ....just enjoy the music...for what it is...

This is why I think it's not a good idea to discuss this because veryone always says the same thing about Roger. I have my own opinion so don't critisize me. I want to know why Tommy Lee is such a great drummer...HE's NOT!!..he comes in like 4 for the best drummers list..I mean come on...he's not that good....say what you want, but that's what I think.
OK, lookie here. I'm shocked that nobody mentioned John Bonham. SERIOUSLY! John Bonham and Roger Taylor are my top 2 drummers. For guitarists, Brian May, Jimmy Page, Randy Rhoads, Steve Clark, Phil Collen, I don't care too much for Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix. From Bassists, I like John Deacon, John Paul Jones, Roger Waters, Rick 'Sav' Savage, and Nikki Sixx. There are many great musicians in this world...
[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]<font color=FF0033 face=symbol>Freddie wrote: [/QUOTENAME]For me the world's greatest drummer has to be Buddy Rich. World's greatest guitarist, my God, there are so many! Well, for me it's always been Brian May. *shrugs* World's greatest bassist, well as great a bass player as John Deacon was he wasn't the best. Let's just say I have a thing for this guy:

Oh yeah, sorry, that was a mistake. I edited the post now.
As much as I like Nirvana, to the guy who said Krist Novoselic...WTF dude? =P Better than Deacon? Ah well...
IMO Sting isn't that good a bassist either, he's okay...
Nick Mason isn't a good drummer either but like you said about Queen, Pink Floyd was never about the instruments...
