Fine, since it's "Trash Rock Bands" day in the Lounge, create what you think would be the best band

[charlie and algernon]

Lead Guitar / Vocalist - Jimi Hendrix
Guitar - Keith Richards
Bass Guitar - John Entwistle
Drums - Keith Moon



edit: They don't all have to be alive.

[BurtWorm]

1. Keith Richards might not know he's the only live one in the lot.

[charlie and algernon]

2. well I think that one's debatable

whether or not he's actually alive.

[DarkTirade]

11. He's been pickled and preserved.

[JVS]

3. You want Hendrix as you lead vocalist?

Even he was reluctant to take on that role.

[charlie and algernon]

4. But he did, and was damn good at it

Plus, I thought having Roger Daltry would be a bit much. If he doesn't want to do it, I'll hire Freddy Mercury or John Lennon to sing.

[cemaphonic]

24. But he's great.

He's so lionized for his guitar work that I think he's actually pretty underrated as a singer.

[JVS]

26. What he sang, he sang well, but I seriously question his ability to move out of his comfort zone.

Might I suggest we put Janis Joplin as lead singer, and keep Jimi on guitar and the occasional singing role.

[charlie and algernon]

27. hm, so Joplin, Hendrix, Richards, Entwistle, Moon

I like that, that has potential. Now we only need to learn how to raise people from the dead

[mcctatas]

5. OK...

Lead Guitar: Jeff Buckley
Guitar: Ritchie Blackmore
Bass: Flea
Drums: Ginger Baker
Vocals: Patti Smith
Cowbell: does it really even matter? :evilgrin:

[charlie and algernon]

13. not bad

i like Buckley as the vocalist, his version of "Hallelujah" is beautiful

[arcadian]

6. Easy

Geddy Lee - Bass/vocals/keyboards
Alex Lifeson - Lead guitar
Neal Peart - Drums

[TZ]

7. hehe.

Haters in 3-2-1.....:D

[charlie and algernon]

9. that's too easy

Couldn't put them ahead of the Who though :D

[av8rdave]

29. Oops...I didn't see yours before I posted

That would be an AWESOME band!

[av8rdave]

8. OK, I'll play

Bass/Lead vocal Geddy Lee

Guitar Alex Lifeson

Percussion Neal Peart

[TZ]

10. Okay. maybe I can come up with some different combos

Lead vocals--Mick Jagger
Bass Guitar/vocals..Geddy Lee
Guitar- Keith Richards
Drums-- Keith Moon

[charlie and algernon]

15. why not go with Entwistle and call them The Rolling Who

[TZ]

17. lol....

Yeah..can you tell what my two favorite bands are?:rofl:

[charlie and algernon]

19. heh, same here

The Who and the Rolling Stones are in close competition for greatest band of all-time

[Mendocino]

12. Van Morrison-vocals

Duane Allman/Jeff Beck-dual leads

James Jamerson-bass

Steve Winwood-keyboards

Ginger Baker-percussion

[mainegreen]

14. Ooooh

Vocals: Mike Patton
Bass: Les Claypol
Guitar: John Petrucci & Yngwie Malmsteen
Drums: Mike Portnoy

It would either not work, or it would be so awesome and unique it would blow your mind.

[charlie and algernon]

18. yeah, I'm definitely intriqued as to what 5 virtuoso's in one band would sound like

[Systematic Chaos]

21. Primus would be high on my list of 80s and 90s influences in my post below!

Hell, I played The Brown Album on my stereo one day when my then 70-year-old mother was home and she loved it! She thought the drummer and bassist were very talented, and when I started explaining the lyrics to some of the songs she about died laughing. :)

[Twillig]

31. I almost threw up in my mouth when you put Malmsteen in there.

My thought was:

Guitar: John Petrucci
Bass: John Myung
Keyboard: Jordan Rudess
Drums: Mike Portnoy

Vocals Freddie Mercury.

Malmsteen..he'd fuck up everything besides I hear he's Petrucci's guitar tech now.

If you had to add another guitarist, and you don't, I'd put Satch in there. They're friends anyway.

Malmsteen... :puke:

[mainegreen]

32. I don't like his music.

But he can play. And he had one good album, the first one, except when he sang on it.

[TX Screwball]

16. How's about..

Lead Guitar- Stevie Ray Vaughn
Bass- Jaco Pastorius
Drums- Neil Peart
Vocalist- Tom Waits
Uke- TX Screwball

[Systematic Chaos]

20. There are already too many bands out there who are/were perfect as they stand.

But it sure would be fun to create random permutations from the members of:

Renaissance
Dream Theater
Gentle Giant
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Yes
Genesis (Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett eras especially)
Rush (Yup, I fucking said it. Sue me!)
Pink Floyd
Kansas
Chicago
The Beatles
Kraftwerk
Tangerine Dream

and even sprinkle in some 80s influences for the catchy songwriting and cool pop hooks...


And just let them rip.


The possibilities which have never been realized are just endless. :)

[Jetboy]

22. Trash rock supergroup:

Michael Monroe- lead vocals, sax, harmonica
Johnny Thunders- lead guitar
Keith Richards- guitar
Ronnie Lane- bass
Jerry Nolan- drums

[MrSlayer]

23. Robert Plant- Vocals, Jimmy Page- Guitar, John Paul Jones- Bass, John Bonham- Drums.

We had the best band ever, they were called Led Zeppelin.

[BurtWorm]

28. Ok, but who would play the accordion?

[MrSlayer]

38. Well, JPJ played more than bass.

He played guitar, mandolin, keys, and every other instrument recorded by the band save drums. I'll bet he can play the accordion.

[cemaphonic]

25. It's worth pointing out that rock supergroup have not such a great track record.

Although I love the Traveling Wilburys if only for getting Dylan to start caring again.

[Bake]

30. Cream didn't do too bad!

Nor did Blind Faith. Derek and the Dominos.

On the other hand, there was Damn Yankees.

:rofl:

Bake

[4_Legs_Good]

37. I think supergroups are fun, though, you're right, not long lived

I like the Willburys and Blind Faith particularly.

You can't really expect so many creative people to get along for long, though. They're all MAVERICS after all!!!
