The ultimate rock band


Recommended Posts

If you could choose four musicians from four different bands, from any era, to create the ultimate rock band, who would you choose? You can't pick more than one person from the same band.

 

This is what my ultimate band would look like:

  • Freddie Mercury - vocals
  • Eddie Van Halen - guitar
  • John Paul Jones - bass and keyboards
  • Neil Peart - drums and lyrics

Might be a train wreck, but I would probably chose:

 

Jimi Hendrix (guitar/vocals)

Duane Allman (guitar)

John Entwistle (bass)

John Bonham (drums)

Freddie and Eddie would be screaming at each other from the get go, Peart would be standing in a corner waiting to do his bit, and JPJ would be frantically trying to work things out between everyone...

 

but it just might work.

I wonder if Geddy Lee and Tony Banks could find space for each other? I like the idea of Martin Barre getting another shot at a serious band setting. For drums and vocals, I don't know...Ann Wilson in her prime....some kind of heavy hitter on drums, I think. Not sure who yet, but there are some obvious contenders.

Jimi Hendrix

Keith Emerson

Les Claypool

Bill Bruford

 

It would be weird AF.

 

If Jimi wants to sing that's ok, otherwise there's enough weird shit to keep it entertaining.

 

Jimi and Keith would want to kill each other, but Les would provide comedy relief.

Roger Daltrey

Stevie Ray Vaughan

Steve Vai

Geddy Lee

Rick Wakeman

Carl Palmer

 

Steve and Stevie Ray, huh? Interesting mix . . . .

 

A master blues guitarist and a master progressive guitarist. They could play anything.

sorry I didn't read the OP

 

Clearly others didn't either. Facebook has had a terrible effect on humanity, in many ways.

 

Ace, Paul, Gene and Peter

The OP specified "musicians".

 

 

:P

 

And from different bands. WTF?

 

Front man/singer - David Lee Roth

 

Guitar - Mattias Eklundh (Freak Kitchen)

 

Bass - Chris Squire

 

Drums - Dave Grohl

I bet you've even got the Starman costume ready for Halloween !!

 

Rocket Ride man, total Space Ace

 

None of these "supergroups" on this list could write anything as good Hard Luck Woman anyway

Geddy could work with anyone probably, but Tony would likely take charge. Adding Martin sounds great, and Ann Wilson also makes things really interesting. For drums, maybe Dave Grohl could keep the peace?

I imagine that would sound like a tornado catching fire and spawning new ones.
