Ultimate Band

[WestNZ]

Ok, what i wanna know here is which people you think would make up the ultimate band. You can have 1 singer, 3 guitar players, 1 bass player, 1 drummer, and 1 keyboard player.


just curious to see what diversity TPWW has on a topic such as this

[El Fangel]

Ideally I would have 2 Bassists

Singer - David Draiman - Disturbed
Guitar - Zack Wylde - Ozzy
Guitar -James Hetfield - Metallica
Bass - Jason Newsted - Ex-Metallica
Bass - Tony Campos - Static-X
Drummer - Dave Lombardo - Slayer
Keyboard - Jordan Rudess - Dream Theatre

[Indifferent Clox]

This is gonna take a while, because I'm gonna have to do it in like several different styles, because some would clash but that doesn't make them any worse than someone else, they just aren't people who should play together...

I'lll write something up tommorrow when I sober up and come up with a few good mega bands.

[El Fangel]

I dont think he was including styles and/or clashings, what you think the best possible line-up would be, problem free, and able to play the obvious style of music, mine would be Industrial/Thrash Metal :)

[Indifferent Clox]

See that's the thing, writing style and not actual playing of said instrument is what makes a lot of my favorite bands amazing.


I guess John Frusciante (red hot chilli peppers) would be on guitar
Keyboards would be Fiery Furnace's Friedbergers
Second guitar Johnny Greenwood from radiohead
Singer would be Britt Daniels and Steve Malkmus (spoon)
and the arrangement would be the dude from The books.
bass would be Primus's bassist.

no wait better

it'd be like the bens and travelling wildburys

it'd be
Steve Malkmus
James Mangum
Britt Daniel
Beck
and Conor Oberst

Just writing all of it and playing all the various instruments.

Or members of Mogwai, lightning Bolt, explosions in the sky, Slint, and Sigur ros.

Oh and someone from the microphones.

[Indifferent Clox]

Ok but as far as all times go

Guitar- Eric Clapton
Guitar 2- Jimi Hendrix
Singer- David Bowie, Freddy Mercury, Frank Black, and John Lennon
Bass- Kim Gordon from Sonic Youth

With Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, and Conor Oberst writing the songs

and all the member of radiohead arranging them

also I think the singers from arcade fire would fit nicely anywhere in here.

[Indifferent Clox]

Also fucking bassist from Interpol

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

There are other instrument than just guitar, bass, drums (hah) and keyboards.

Maybe I would want a cello, or a recorder. Hell, I might want a hurdy gurdy.

As such, I will answer the question later without the limitation.

[DaveWadding]

KEYBOARDS =/= RAWK

[DaveWadding]

and what fucking band besides Skynyrd and the Eagles in the 70s has THREE fucking guitar players?

[Kane Knight]

and what fucking band besides Skynyrd and the Eagles in the 70s has THREE fucking guitar players?

Live, Queen would sometimes use three guitars.

[Rammsteinmad]

Iron Maiden have 3 guitar players.

[Rammsteinmad]

Anyway, here's mine:

Vocals - James Labrie (Mullmuzzler)
Guitars - John Petrucci (Liquid Tension Experiment)
Bass - John Myung (The Jelly Jam)
Drums - Mike Portnoy (O.S.I.)
Keyboards - Jordan Rudess (Solo)

If this band ever got together, they would call themselves Dream Theater. :shifty:

[Rammsteinmad]

Ok, for real... This thread has been done hundreds of times, and I always find it difficult to come up with one band, coz there's so many combinations that would totally rule. But I'll try for real: (Using one member from any band)

Vocals: Roy Khan (Kamelot)
Guitars: Michael Romeo (Symphony X)
Keyboards: Kevin Moore (Chroma Key)
Bass: Joey Vera (Fates Warning)
Drums: Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater)

I wouldn't call that my "Ultimate Dream Band" but I suppose it'll rule none-the-less.

[Kapoutman]

Vocals: Noel Gallagher
Guitars: John Frusciante
Bass: Les Claypool
Drums: Ringo Starr

[ron the dial]

not the ultimate, just something that i'd like to see.

vocals - stephen merritt (magnetic fields, 6ths, ...)
piano - ben folds (vocals, too)
bass - eric axelson (dismemberment plan, maritime)
percussion - josh "cobra" baruth (appleseed cast)

and whatever accompanying instruments they so chose.

[weather vane]

Vocals - Vince Neil
Guitar - Mick Mars
Bass - Nikki Sixx
Percussion - Tommy Lee

[Indifferent Clox]

ok.

Fiery Furnace Keyboardist
High On Fire/ Sleep Bassist
Aesop Rock on vocals
that's it.

They'd be called High on Furnace ROCk

[Kane Knight]

Slap together Queen and the Who, and it'd look pretty much like my dream band. Maybe throw in a little Tony Iommi for sheer fat CRUNCH.

[FakeLaser]

Singer - Darryl Palumbo - Glassjaw
Guitar - John Frusciante - RHCP, solo
Guitar - Thurston Moore - Sonic Youth, solo
Guitar - David Gilmour - Pink Floyd
Bass - Kim Gordon - Sonic Youth
Keyboard - Rick Wright - Pink Floyd
Drums - Josh Baruth - Appleseed Cast
Random Effects/Instrumentation - Jamie Stewart - Xiu Xiu

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Brandon Boyd vocals, can't be bothered thinking of the rest.

[Kris P Lettus]

Singer-Lane Staley-Alice In Chains
Guitar-Jimi Hendrix
Guitar-Dimebag Darrel-Pantera
Guitar-Eric Clapton-Cream
Bass-Les Claypool-Primus & Flying Frog Bragade etc etc
Keyboard-Booker T Jones-Booker T and the MG's & The Mar-Keys
