Fantasy Band

You're being sent to a desert island (it has a great rehearsal room, studio and plenty of electricity ) and you can bring a band

Singer
Guitarist
Drummer
Bassist
Misc

Who would you pick for each...living people only.

Oh I thought this was about Fantasy Metal

lol sorry dude! You can have a metal band if you like :p

Singer - Jón Þór Birgisson (Sigur Rós)

Guitarist - J Spaceman (Spacemen 3/Spiritualized)

Drummer - Chris Hrasky (Explosions in the Sky)

Bassist - Mani (Stone Roses/Primal Scream)

Misc - James Lavelle (Unkle)

...It will probably change tonight but I guess that's the mood I'm in now. I'd like some f'd up, spaced out stuff!

so Fantomas then, yeah?

mine would be (at the moment):

singer - mike patton (the only singer, really)
guitarist - joey santiago (pixies)
drummer - stephen morris (joy division/new order)
bassist - matt freeman (rancid)
misc - dj shadow

It was a toss up between DJ Shadow and Unkle for me

i know what you mean, you need someone there to provide the atmospherics and shadow just clinched it for me

He's at a fest in the UK this year (think it's in Leeds with Massive Attack) and he's at Sonar.

Singer--Prince
Bassist--John Entwhistle
Keyboards-Steve Nieve
Lead Guitar--Jimmy Page
Rhythm--Malcolm Young
Drums--Dave Lombardo
Tape Loops--Martin Swope


EDIT--This band would be terrible.

Bassist--John Entwhistle - Great shout! Who live at Leeds

I find this highly offensive...Thomas from Fall of Troy is not very good, but it's not that. It is that you have him with Herman from DragonForce. Anyone can play taps...

Singer- None
Guitarist - Jason Becker (pre-ALS)
Guitarist - Yngwie Malmsteen
Guitarist - Paul Gilbert
Bass - (not necessary but...)Victor Wooten (I don't know how he would play metal)
Drums - Chris Pennie

Oh yes, three part guitar harmonies!!

Les Claypool is far too 'wanky' show-offy for my liking. Each to their own though!
