Ultimate Band

[gibsonshredder06]

here's another hypothetical question for you guys....if you could put anyone in a band to form a supergroup....who would it be...once again living or dead?
Mine:
Vocals:Bruce Dickinson
Guitarists:Tony Iommi and Yngwie Malmsteen
Bass:Michael Anthony
Drummer:Lars Ulrich
Keyboards:....BACH!!!!

[Lordathestrings]

LOL, I'm glad you spelled out the conditions on this one.

I'd better specify what band these people were from, 'cause some go way back!

Vocals: David Clayton Thomas (Blood, Sweat, & Tears)
Guitars: David Gilmore (Pink Floyd) and Kenny Wayne Shepherd
Bass: John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin)
Drums: Buddy Rich (headlined his own jazz bands)
Keyboards: 'Tone' Hall (Savoy Brown)

These aren't necessarily the best in the world at what they do, but I think the combination would make a killer Blues band!

[Slasher]

Vocals: Sheryl Crow, damn shes sexy n has a great voice. Could do a little extra guitar n bass if needed too.
Guitars: Slash, Keith Richards and me
Bass: Flea
Drums: Lars Ulrich (featuring Duff McKagen for a laugh)
Keyboards/Piano: Er, Rick Wakeman?

Guitars - Michael Romeo (Symphony X)

Guitars - Santiago Dobles (Aghora)

Keyboards - Jordan Rudess (once again DT)

Guitars - Shawn Lane (solo)

Guitars - Allan Holdsworth (solo)

Bass - Bill Dickens (solo)

Drums - Richard Komatz (Aghora)

Keyboards - Chick Korea (Return to Forever)

[aiwass]

Bass - Alan Goldstein (formerly of Aghora)

Guitars - Francesco Fareri (solo)

Guitars - Michael Angelo (Nitro, C4, probably other explosives too...)

Drums - Joey Jordison (Slipknot)

[zepp_rules]

the continuing evolution of my ultimate band:


vocals - Hansi Kursch (Blind Guardian)
Rhythm Guitars - Jon Schaffer (Iced Earth)
Lead Guitars - Michael Romeo (Symphony X)
bass - John Myung (Dream Theater)
Keyboards - Jens Johansson (Stratovarius)
Drums John Bonham (gotta go with the classic)



i think it's called the Iced Blind Symphony Theater


(featuring John Bonham)

[C]

Throwing my two cents in

Vocals: Layne Staley (AIC, gotta love that voice o' doom)
Guitar: Tony Iommi (Sabbath, nothing quite like the progenitor of everyone and everything that dares call itself metal today)
Guitar 2: Tony MacAlpine (Just because I think he's cool)
Bass/Backing Vocals: Geddy Lee (Rush, because he'd work well with Tony (I think) and he'd sound interesting with Layne)
Drums: Neil Peart (Rush...c'mon, why not?)

[u10ajf]

Drums: Mark Portnoy, Dream Theater
Bass: Les Claypool, Primus
Guitar: Alex Lifeson, Rush
Guitar: Glenn Tipton, Judas Priest (only heard his solo album, this guy kicks soo much ass)
Keyboards: Jordan Rudess, Dream Theater
Vocals: Mike Patten, Faith No More

Some violin would be nice to. Lifeson's a bit too tasteful and restrained these days (he used to smoke more) so I've beefed the sound up with some Glenn Tipton.

[Kirk_Aimar]

My ultimate band

Guitar - Alexi Laiho (Children of bodom)
Guitar - Alexander Kuoppala " "
Bass - John myung
Drum - Lars Ulrich
Keyboard - Janne Warman (Children of Bodom)

Don't you mean Sean Reinert? Or is this their new drummer? (if so, you have any info on their new album?)

Come to think about it, I'm not sure if I posted the right one. The band has had like 90 different people in it...

Anyway, whoever plays on the video on their website. Maybe that's Sean Reinert, I dunno.

[Catcher]

vocals: jaymz hetfield
bass:les claypool
rhythm/lead guitar:zakk wylde/randy rhoads
drums:neil pert

[metalisbest]

Alright, heres mine:

Vocals: Aaron Lewis(Staind)
Lead: Kenny Wayne Shepherd
Rhythm: Jerry Cantrell(AIC)
Rhythm Acoustic: Dave Matthews
Bass: Noel Redding(Jimi Hendrix)
Drums: Chad Sexton(311)

I think that would just be a crazy combination, and I would like to see what kind of stuff they would come up with.

[Pantallica1]

Tough decisions here...

Vocals: Phil Anselmo and Corey Taylor(would make an awesome combination, both can scream and sing)
Guitars: Eddie Van Halen and Michael Angelo
Drums: Dave Weckl (don't know which bands but he can rock out)
Bass: Les Claypool

[Displacer]

as a metal head I'd like to see this :

Vocals: Phil Anselmo & Corey Taylor
Guitars: Dimebag & Dave Mustaine/Marty Friedman
Bass: Steve Harris
Drums: Vinnie Paul
Keyboards: smashed and broken on the floor :P

[Grub]

heavy duty dirty funk's my particular bag. on horns it would have to be Mike and Randy Brecker plus the Horny Horns and the Tower of Power brass section.

For a really filthy groove a dual or triple bass attack is a must - any combo of Larry Graham, Bootsy Collins, Mark King, Stanley Clarke, Les Claypool and Louis Johnson.

Twin drums and percussion - Dave Garibaldi from Tower of Power and Tony Thompson

Guitar - someone who can play restrained funky rhythm and shred when called for. Satch is the man.

Keyboards - Bernie Worrall no question.

Vocals - most of my favourite singers are long gone dead or getting that way. of those living and youngish, Mike Patton'd be #1. plus several attractive ladeez on backing vox e.g. Britney, Shania, Beyonce Knowles.

[aiwass]

Haven't put one up in a while now. Better make a new one:D

Vocals: Russel Allen (Symphony X)

Guitars: George Bellas

Guitars: Michael Romeo (Symphony X - the band needed a rhythm guitarist too :P)

Drums: Nicholas Barker (Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, Old Man's Child)

[chris mood]

I would have to say;
Keys......Chick Corea
Guitar....Al DiMeola
Bass.......Stanely Clarke
Drums.....Lenny White

I think the four of those guys together could probably kick some butt. Oh, wait a minute, they already did, sorry...my bag, that's Return To Forever!

[MikeP.]

Vocals: Rob Halford
Bass: Victor Wooten
Guitars: Steve Morse/Michael Angelo
Drums: Dave Lombardo
Keyboards: Jens Johanson

For live sound at the mixing board: Bob Rock(80's/early 90's)
Stage lighting (The crew for Pink Floyd)
Pyro techs: (Crew with WWE)

[Dejan Sajinovic]

Voclas: Freddie Mercury
Guitar: John Petrucci
R Guitars/B Voclas: James Hetfield
Bas: John Myung
Drums: Mike Portnoy
Keys: Jordan Rudess

And with Dr. Dre behind the mixer board, they couldn´t fail.

[TheTrooper]

Vocals- definently Bruce Dickenson
Guitars- I think Dave Mustaine could pull it off along with adrian smith
drums- whoever the drummer is from at the gates
keyboards- I like the keyboardists from both BODOM and DREAMTHEATER

[chucklivesoninmyheart]

hmmmm....

Guitar/vox:chuck shuldiner(death/control denied)
bass/vox:glen benton(deicide/vital remains)
guitar:jeff hanneman(slayer)
guitar:vogg(decapitated)
drums:gene hoglan(death/dark angel/testament/syl/naphobia)
keys(if any):janne warman(children of bodom)

That would be pretty sick...for a death metal band anyway.
\m/

[ketsueki15]

nah man..not slay as guitarist..theres guitarist have the boring riffs..really dull,all there solos and stuff sounds the same..ultimate guitartist would be jason becker but he cant

[chucklivesoninmyheart]

jeff hanneman is one of the most underated guitarists.
He IS a shred god.
boring riffs?if slayer's(old) riffs are a bore Whats an exciting riff?
I suggest listening to Captor of sin,Angel of death,Altar of sacrafice,war ensemble,Hell awaits or to get an idea of hanneman's guitar/songwriting skills.
actually...just listening to everything right up to divine intervention.\m/

[ketsueki15]

god hates us all has some of the dullest licks in..there guitarist have talent but there stuff is boring..its all on opinion
arch enemy has some good solos

[chucklivesoninmyheart]

I agree...everything past divine intervention really blows...
Michael and chris amott are phenominal(michael was in carcass as well if I'm not mistaken)

[ketsueki15]

wages of sin was my fav cd but the girl singer being able to sound like she does is sorta disturbing..i havnt listened to much of their old stuff

[noticingthemistake]

Here's my ultimate band.

Vocals: Jello Biafa and Jay-Z
Guitar: Jeff Beck
Guitar 2: Kerry King

Woodwinds: Kenny G
Bass: the orignial guy from Bon Jovi (I'll give him a second chance).
Drums: Victor wooten's brother who plays in Bela Fleck.
Saxophone: Lisa Simpson

[Andrew Sa]

My ultimate line-up...its quite a large band and also quite diverse.
Vocals:Ozzy, Freddy mercury, Alex Laiho ( Children of Bodom ) David Draiman ( disturbed ) Maynard James Keenan
vocals/guitar: Mikael Akerfeldt ( Opeth ) Mark knopfler
Bass: Flea or Jaco Pestorius ( or both ) John Pattituci ( dunno spelling)
Guitar: Randy Rhodes, Clapton, the guitarist from In Flames ( dunno names ) and maybe umm...Al Di Meola
Drums: Spug ( Mudvayne )
Keyboards: Rick Wakeman, the guy from Children of Bodom or that dude from Dream Theatre

That would rock...**** it would need a huge stage though
