Who would be in your ideal band?

If you could create a band... using any member of any band EVER... who would be in it and what would YOU (yes, you!) play in the band? what kinda music would they play?

Well, let me see now...
I'd have to have Lemmy from Motorhead on Bass, Kevin Shields from MBV with Hendrix on Guitar, Jonny Rotten and Freddie Mercury on vocals, DJ Shadow or David Holmes on decks (if thats your thing) and ME on Drums with John Bohnam as my roadie, hehehhe

me i'd play guitar and sing.
johnny marr(the smiths duh) would be a guitarist
niel halstead(mojave3&slowdive) would play guitar as well and sing.
so three guitarists
rachel goswell(mojave3&slowdive) would be the bass player and sing too.
um.........
martin gore(depeche mode) would take care of the synth stuff and sing too.
and
alan white(oasis) would be my drummer
and we'd be a total straight up fucking shoegazing band.

I would put
John Frusciante of RHCP and Warren the Mutant Boy from the Vandals on Guitars
Mat Freeman from rancid on Bass
Marky Ramone on Drums
and
Me on Vox

Long Live Sorgaze!!!!!

I can't do this one; it's too fucking hard!

Vocals- Greg Graffin (Bad Religion)
Bass-Karl Alvarez (Descendents / All)
Drums- Josh Friese (Vandals/Perfect Circle)
Guitar- Tom Morello (RATM)

we'd play weddings.

me (circle no.5/ munky salad/ machines bleed oil) - bass
roger pasaillas (ill nino) - percussion
Dino Cazeras (fear factory/ brujeria/ ascension)-Guitars

ohgr (Skinny Puppy) - shouts / programming

Drums - Vinnie Paul
Bass - Les Claypool
Guitar - Dave Navarro
Vocals - Louise Post
Vocals - Maynard James Keenan

The guys in my band would so get pissed off if they ever read this..........but here it goes:

Drums: Tossup between Will Reiflen and Jimmy Chamberlain
Bass: Either Miko, or George Reese

shit how fuckin' cool would a Waits/Zorn collabo be???!!!

which is why Led Zeppelin was so fucking great. Minus Flea dude, hes too funky for them. plus Jimmy Page was and is TERRIBLE live. Hendrix would be better for live shows, Page for the studio.


my band is fine with me, i'd just want DAVE FUCKING GROHL on Drums. and maybe Greg Ginn on Lead guitar.

GG ALLIN: vox
FIRE3ORMETEO: trash cans/chainsaw

THE GREAT ROCK AND ROLL ABORTION
OOH-RAH!

i have two:

the heavy stuff;

drums - danny carrey (tool)
bass - cliff burton (metillca)
guitars - "diamond dimebag" darrell (pantera) & kerry king (slayer)
vox - phil anselmo (pantera)

the not so heavy suff;
drums - dave grohl (nirvana/foo fighters)
bass - les claypool
guitars - hendrix & clapton
vox - maynard james keenen (tool/apc)
piano & vox - tori amos

and i don't get to paly nothing 'cause i would suck up the whole thing.

Christopher Walken - triangle and accordion

Fuck James, I wanted Christopher Walken to sing in my band.
This is really hard, the easy thing would be, me as Sleater-Kinney's bass player...but here goes
Tanya Donelly(Throwing Muses) -guitar
Sarah Utter(Bangs)-guitar
Mary Timony(Helium)-piano and shit
Janet Weiss (SK&Quasi)-drums
Me-bass
Everyone sings but me because I sound like a cross between Kristin Hersh and Corin Tucker in the Heavens to Betsy days.
