Just for a silly idea, a friend and I started thinking about imaginary band line ups where all the members share a common trait, other than musical. For example, here's one I thought of called "The Happys", as although I admire all these guys very much, they all have a reputation for being somewhat cantankerous:-

Vocals - Van Morrison
Bass - Roger Waters
Rhythm Guitar, Vocals - Ray Davies
Lead Guitar - George Harrison
Keyboards - Alan Price
Drums - Ginger Baker

I doubt these guys would have ever got through one rehearsal without killing each other! So has anyone else got any ideas for other line ups? Good examples would be all the members having terrible hairdo's or dress sense, etc. The musicians can be from any era, alive or deceased.

Here's a band for you:

Robert Smith-guitar/vocals
sting-bass vocals/
and a DRUM MACHINE.

that would be the gloomiest/ happiest sounding band...

I've always wanted john frusciante to join up with the john mayer trio. Thatd be amazing.

for "The Happys" maybe throw in Robert Fripp and Jeff Berlin

The band I'd most like to hear:

Bass - Jaco
Drums - Dave Weckl
Guitar - John McLaughlin
Piano - Chick Corea
Sax - Michael Brecker
Sax - Wayne Shorter
Violin - Jean-Luc Ponty

Sort of a fusion of the Elektric Band, Weather Report, and Mahavishnu Orchestra, with Brecker thrown in... because.

Bass - Tommy Shannon
Guitar/Vocals-John Mayer
Guitar - John Frusciante
Drums - Chad Smith

Guitar- Jimi Hendrix
Bass- Chris squire
Lead Vocals- Robert Plant
Drums- Keith moon
'twould be sick

Keys - Herbie Hancock
Bass - Ralphe Armstrong
Drums - Sean Kinney

That'd be a cool trio.

Vocals - Cedric Bixler-Zavala
Guitar/Vocals - John Frusciante
Lead Guitar - John Mclaughlin
Bass - Brian Gibson
Drums - Rashied Ali

vocals - Mike Patton & Jimmy Urine
Bass - Frank Bello
Guitar - Fredrik Thordenal and Dave Felton
Drums - Brann Dailor

they would have no idea what the hell to do in that situation. nothing would ever get done, but i would love it

Vocals/Guitar-Kurt Cobain
Lead guitar-Eddie Van Halen
Bass-Larry Graham
Drums-Taylor Hawkins

This is a band that would be..."conflicting" since EVH would have to play the bass when recording and Larry Graham would be confined to root notes...

/sarcasm

made this a while ago on a forum on a different website.

i was pretty bored so i linked all the musicians to videos (or music in the case of bj cole) that is really worth checking out

robert fripp (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klnog_IKzTM&mode=related&search=)- guitar and loops
steve lawson (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76rs7PmoAbY)- bass and loops
bj cole (http://www.myspace.com/bjcolemusic) - pedal steel guitar and vocals (listen to the grey box on the left)
neil peart (http://youtube.com/watch?v=uIPAXNGq7HE) - drums
Jens Johansson (http://youtube.com/watch?v=RcdDK8fl8pM) - keyboards


and maybe swap out fripp for ned evett (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjiF4DtDyyA) on fretless guitar

Guitar-Jimmy Page
Bass-John Paul Jones
Drummer-John Bonham
Vocals-not Robert Plant

win!

Eric Clapton - Guitar/Vocals
BB KING - Guitar/Vocals
Marcus Miller - Bass
Buddy Rich or Ginger Baker - Drums

"The Ancient Gods"

Thor- Drums
Zeus - Guitar
Bacchus - Vocals
Hades - Bass

Roger Daltrey - vox
Pete Townshend - guit
Paul Macca - bs
Ringo - skins

Ladies and gentlemen....... The Whootles

anything with ginger baker on lead vocals.


anyone recall pressed rat and warthog?

The band I'd most like to hear:

Bass - Jaco
Drums - Dave Weckl
Guitar - John McLaughlin
Piano - Chick Corea
Sax - Michael Brecker
Sax - Wayne Shorter
Violin - Jean-Luc Ponty

Sort of a fusion of the Elektric Band, Weather Report, and Mahavishnu Orchestra, with Brecker thrown in... because.

Thats not to far from the line up on Jaco's 1st disc and the Word of Mouth bands in there smaller configurations. Although Jaco and McLaughlin never actually recorded together, they did play in a trio for a short time. Is that the violinist from Mahavishnu? Also, I don't think Jaco and Dave ever played togther or did they?

are we trying to make super bands here? i got one! :hyper:

Vocals/bass/synths-Geddy Lee
Drums/percussion-Neil Peart
Guitar-Alex Lifesonoh wait a sec the greatest ever was already made :p :) :smug: :hyper: :D (yes RUSH is my most fav band..) :bassist:

Most of these aren't funny. Do people know what they're replying to?

Leon Redbone - Vocals
Herbie Flowers - Tuba
Joe Lala - Percussion
Tony Clifton - Vocals
Eric Nagler - Waxpaper Comb

atleast i tried with my ginger baker on vox.

Hmm.

my "experimental rock" lineup

Gavin Hayes (dredg) - vocals
Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (TMV) - guitar
Jesse Keeler (Death from Above 1979) - Bass
Zach Hill (Hella) - drums

Kept it simple becuase of all the noise that would be happening. Really all I want to hear is Omar and Zach together but having someone like Gavin singing would make it even better. Jesse thrown in to have a simplistic balance between the insanity of Zach and Omar.

Ok, I have determined the best band ever:

Geddy Lee-Bass
Alex Lifeson-Guitar
Neil Peart-Drums

Edit: I was beaten to it! Heheh

Yeah guys, the goal of this thread was to create FUNNY lineups.

Vocals- Ozzy Osbourne
Bass- Dee Dee Ramone
Guitar- Jimi Hendrix
Drums- Tyrone Biggums

The name- the Junky Bunch. Shows pretty much consist of Jimi soloing while Dee Dee hits his bass repeatedly. Tyrone is only in the band because he hides his crack rocks in the kick drum any actual percussion is purely accidental. Ozzy has one long vocal that lasts the entire show- him mumbling to Jimi to detune so he can sing in tune with the song.

god damn, i thought dee dee ramone was a chick for the longest time.

Yeah guys, the goal of this thread was to create FUNNY lineups.

+1. Also with something in common, apart from muicianship. Can anyone think of a perfect line up for a band called "The Egos"?

^ Three lead guitarists, and that's it.

OK, just for comedy value:

Gwen Stefani - Vocals
Pete Doherty - Lead guitar
Steve Vai - Rhythm guitar
Matt Wong - Bass
Chad Smith - Drums

Imagine it - the odd poppy vocals of Gwen, over the crunchy 2 note riffs of Pete, supported by the virtuoso chords of Steve, underpinned by a funk/ska rhythm section. Wicked.

^ Three lead guitarists, and that's it.

Just google 3G

Just google 3G

Pretty mobile phones in there!:hiding:

Robert Smith and Morrissey - vocals

Bill Bailey - guitar (don't have youtube on this PC, but youtube "Bill Bailey U2" on youtube, you'll see what I mean!! I'll stick the link up here later when I get home!!)

Adam Clayton - bass

Stewart Copeland - Drums

........should prove an interesting sound. ahem.

OK here's my second funniest band lineup.

Michael Angelo Batio - Guitar
Bill "Buddha" Dickens - Bass
James Labrie - Vocals
Patrick Moraz - Keytar
Neil Peart - Drums, Lyrics

I don't know if this would make me laugh or cry.

Edit: Probably vomit.

This would be an unlikely combination :-

Pavarotti (vocals)
Buddy Holly (rhythm guitar)
Jimi Hendrix (Lead guitar)
Stanley Clarke (Bass)
Ginger Baker (Drums)

Maybe throw in Adolph Hitler on comb and paper and
Henry Kissinger on washboard

Pavarotti (vocals)
Buddy Holly (rhythm guitar)

Ginger Baker (Drums)

Awesome. Ginger should be singing "harmonies" with Pavarotti on every word of every song, though.

Awesome. Ginger should be singing "harmonies" with Pavarotti on every word of every song, though.

+ the highest number you can think of times a hundred




plus one

The Egos.

Steve Vai, Rhythm Guitar
Pat Martino, Lead Guitar
Art Tatum, Synth
Charles Mingus, Bass
Buddy Rich, Drums

That way, by the end of the first rehearsal, you'd have a dead drummer, an arrested bassist, a synth with burnt keys, and steve vai crying in the corner.

weird al yankovich on vocals
emmy lou harris doign harmonies
keith richards on guita

no rhythm section, just a coffee house band


seeing keith all drugged out and stumbling around in such an intimate atmosphere would be hilarious.

John Lennon- Guitar/Vocals
Charles Manson- Guitar/Vocals
Fieldy- Bass
Peter Criss- Drums (original drummer for Kiss in full make up)

What they have in common? They all put on a show. Just picture it though. Criss slamming the skins while Fieldy thumps on his downtuned sideways bass. John singing about peace while Charles rolls his eyes. Charles singing about killing people and John rolling his eyes. I'd go see it.

buckethead-lead guitar
Cliff burton-lead bass
jimi hendrix-rhythm guitar
les claypool-whamola/second bass/backing vocals
jim morrison-vocals

the most mystic,pot fuled band ever:cool:

Glenn Hughes(solo,black sabbath,deep purple)- Bass/vocals
Dug Pinnick(King's X)- Bass/Vocals

one of the two above would play when the other sang lead

Steve Lukather(toto)- Lead guitar
ty tabor(king's x)- rythm/some lead
either jerry gaskill(king's x) or maybe bonham on drums

Dave Grohl - Vocals (Foo Fighters)
Synyster Gates- Lead Guitar (avenged sevenfold)
Brad Delson or maybe John Fruscinate - Rythm Guitar (linkin park) (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
Flea - Bass (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
Travis Barker - Drums (Blink 182)

Boy George- Vocals

Ted Nugent- Guitar

Sid Vicious- Bass

And here's the icing...

Karen Carpenter- Drums

Mine, me being an indie-boy I am....

Lead Vocals - Alex Kapranos (Franz Ferdinand)

Vocals/Lead Guitar - Matt Bellamy (Muse)

Rhythm Guitar - John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers)

Bass - Me, lol erm...Mark King (Level 42) or Marcus Miller

Drums - Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters) or Travis Barker (ex-Blink 182, +44)

Mine, me being an indie-boy I am....

Lead Vocals - Alex Kapranos (Franz Ferdinand)

Rhythm Guitar - John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers)

Bass - Me, lol erm...Mark King (Level 42) or Marcus Miller

Drums - Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters) or Travis Barker (ex-Blink 182, +44)

Hilarious :hmm:

Boy George- Vocals

Ted Nugent- Guitar

Sid Vicious- Bass

And here's the icing...

Karen Carpenter- Drums

They would never agree about what to play.

How about :-

Johnny Rotten (lead vocals)
Elton John (grand piano)
Liberace (synths)
Jaco Pastorius (bass of course)
Bill Clinton (Sax - yes he really does play)
Tony Blair (guitar - yes he really does play)
Keith Moon (drums)
Yehudi Menuin (electric violin)
Freddie Mercury, Aretha Franklin, Michael Bolton (backing vocals)

What the hell would they play? And indeed what the hell would they sound like?

you know john kerry plays bass right?

are we trying to make super bands here? i got one! :hyper:

Drums/percussion-Neil Peart

GG Allen-tamburine

Rocco Prestia - Bass
Vinnie Colaiuta - Drums

That I didn't know. Thanks for that. Let's get rid of Jaco and have Kerry on bass.

"The Big Noses"

Keys-Rick Wakeman
Guitar-Pete Townshend
Drums-Ringo Starr
Bass-Rick Wakemans Left Hand

Rocco Prestia - Bass
Vinnie Colaiuta - Drums
Paco de Lucia - Nylon str. guitar
Joey DeFrancesco - B3

none of these members would last more than a couple minutes with eachother

roger waters - vocals
jeff berlin - bass
robert fripp - lead/rhythm guitar
ritchie blackmore - lead/rhythm guitar
ginger baker -drums

none of these members would last more than a couple minutes with eachother

roger waters - vocals
jeff berlin - bass
robert fripp - lead/rhythm guitar
ritchie blackmore - lead/rhythm guitar
ginger baker -drums

Scary!

Axl Rose - vocals
Tommy Lee - Drums
Jaco - bass
Trey Spruance - guitar

noone would survive the first jam. they'd be called "the flakes" in accordance with their present state (or, in jaco's case, the state his musical career was in when he died)

sammy hagar - vocalist
jerry lee lewis - piano
joe walsh - guitar
flea - bass
keith moon - drums


PAR-TY!!!!

Omar Hakim- Drums
Vernon Reid - Guitar
Me'shell Ndegeocello - Bass+Vocals

That'd be a Funky trio!

:bassist:

Funky rocking metal rap.

Vocals: Eminem
Bass: Les Claypool

Messiah Marcolin - Vocals, Lyrics

Lead Vocals:Jonathan Davis (Korn)
Bass:Les Claypool (Primus)
Lead guitar:Buckethead (Buckethead) unless we can resurrect Dimebag
Rhythm Guitar:KK Downing (Judas Priest)
Drums: Neil Pert (Rush)

Tell me that that would not be the most interesting band.

Metal Band from Hell:

Vocals:Tommy Aaraya (Slayer)
Lead Guitar: Toni Iomi (Black Sabbath)
Bass: Steve Harris (Iron Maiden)
Drums:Jason Bittner (Shadows Fall)
Keyboards: Rosie Smith (Cradle of Filth)

Thatd blow your face off.

Why are there like fifty people playing each instrument in moogboy's band?

counterpoint and harmony.

How about this:
Jaco-Drums
John Bonham-Guitar
Jimi Hendrix-Sax
Keith Moon-Bass

counterpoint and harmony.

And no drummer.

Sound like a real winner.

I think this one would be both funny because of the different style and $ick because of the comon theme and era


It's WHO is the Beatles

Rodger Daultry
Pete Townsend
Paul McCartney
Ringo Starr

Take out the second mortgae now lawn seats are four figures!

And no drummer.

Sound like a real winner.

nope, theres three drummers.

Guitar: Slash
Bass: Generic-8th note-root-rock-bassist
Drums: Generic-rock-drummer

Yesterday I saw some G'n'R music video, I burst out laughing when it came to Slashes solo, in the video he was rising from water, playing the most typical cliche guitar solo, and the video portrayed it as if it were a spiritual experience. :D

Sorry, my mistake. How could I have missed that. :hmm: ;) He has edited his post, though. I think he added the drummers after I made that post.

However, in any case, I stand by my dislike of that kind of ridiculous lineup.

I've posted this in another thread, but here it is again:

Yes! Toaster, you're the man. That would be something like Suicide with talent!

no vocals
bass/ Simon Gallup
Guitar/ Andreas Kisser on painkillers to slow him down
drums/ Just a Hippie and his bongoes

That'd be a sweet relaxing moment, I can imagine myself having a beer a smoke and listening to this

Buddy Rich - Drums
Sting - Bass
Yngwie Malmsteen - Guitar
Ray Manzarek - Keys
Bjork - Vocals

Hey, this could actually be quite good if the stars lined up right...

Most of these aren't funny. Do people know what they're replying to?

Leon Redbone - Vocals
Herbie Flowers - Tuba
Joe Lala - Percussion
Tony Clifton - Vocals
Eric Nagler - Waxpaper Comb

I think the guy from Blues Traveler would sound good playing his harmonica in this as well.

rob trujillio-bass (like from infectious grooves not metallica)

Edit: I also want Ian Anderson in there for some crazy one legged dancing, kackling, and flute solo here and there.

Most of these aren't funny. Do people know what they're replying to?

Leon Redbone - Vocals
Herbie Flowers - Tuba
Joe Lala - Percussion
Tony Clifton - Vocals

Dude, if Eric Nagler was in my band, I'd get him to bust out the Sewerphone. Remember that instrument?

+1. kickass.

Alright after hours of not much thought at all...

drums-John Bonham
bass-John Entwistle
piano-John Paul Jones
lead guitar-john frusciante
rhythm guit/vocal-John Lennon

of course, they'd be "The John"

Oh yeah, thought of another one...

lead guitar/vocals-Frank Zappa

no idea what to call that

This band could be called "The Clash". :confused:

Micheal Shenker - lead guitar
Tom DeLonge - rythmn guitar
David Lee Roth - vocals

that should be a pretty ego tistical line up lol theyd get nothing done at all.

another would be the "who knows"

Buddy Holly - Rythmn Guitar
Randy Rhoads - lead guitar
Diana Ross - Vocals
Joey Jordison - Drums
Pete Wentz - Bass

thts dumb. absolutley sod all would get done and if anything was done it would be hiliarious.

The Steve's

Steve Buscemi - Vocals/Poetry
Steve Vai - Lead Guit
Steve Winwood - Keys
Steve Hunter - Bass
Steve Gadd - Drums

Huh... I guess mine would be...

Geddy Lee - Bass/Vocals/Keyboards
Alex Lifeson - Guitar/Vocals

Micheal Shenker - lead guitar
Tom DeLonge - rythmn guitar
David Lee Roth - vocals
Neil Peart - Drums

Harumph! Clearly, you don't know Neil Peart! *Snob snob snob snob snob*.

Really, though, he's a nice guy - aware of his self worth, but very humble, very polite, and gets pretty uncomfortable when people sing him praises.

David Lee Roth, though - You've got quite a handful. Oh, and Tom Delonge, what I wouldn't give to strangle that little bastard. Angels and Airwaves would be a good band if it weren't for his "I Enunciate Every Syllable) vocals.

The Guyliners:

Davy Havok (AFI) - Vocals
Billy Joe Armstrong (Green Day) - guitar
Peter Wentz (FoB- Bass
Spencer Smith(PATD)- Drums

Chuck Mangione - Flugelhorn, Trumpet

We could call that one Oil and Water

John Lennon- Guitar/Vocals
Charles Manson- Guitar/Vocals
Fieldy- Bass
Peter Criss- Drums (original drummer for Kiss in full make up)

What they have in common? They all put on a show. Just picture it though. Criss slamming the skins while Fieldy thumps on his downtuned sideways bass. John singing about peace while Charles rolls his eyes. Charles singing about killing people and John rolling his eyes. I'd go see it.

I think we have a winner, that imagery is hilarious!

Here's my lineup:

Chris Walla (Death Cab for Cutie) lead guitar/composition
Jon Fishman (Phish) drums
Sting on bass
Norah Jones on piano and backup vocals
And the lead singer? Phil Anselmo of Pantera

Imagine it: Chris writing these sad but pretty tunes, Fishman playing overly complicated fluttery stuff on the kit, Sting thumping away and getting pissed off because he's not the front man (or primary creative force), Norah singing away, doing her thing, and all the while Phil's screaming and yelling at the crowd, throwing cups of beer to the people in the balcony.

There, it took me a long time to think of that one.

Flea - Bass
Adam Jones - lead
James Hatfield - Rhythm
Justin Foley - Drums
Chino Moreno -Vocals

The Ultimate true rock band....

I've always wanted john frusciante to join up with the john mayer trio. Thatd be amazing.

I like where you're going with that.

I've always wondered what would happen with Hendrix and Stanley Clarke and maybe Carter Beauford. Yeah, just the three of them.

Vocals - Freddie Mercury
Lead Guitar - Jimi Hendrix
Rhythm Guitar - Slash
Bass - Tom Hamilton
Drums - John Bonham

Bootsy -Vox
Stu Hamm-Bass
Random busker chosen from street day before - washboard
All the drummers that spinal tap ever had - drums

I always said that if jimi hendrix was alive he would have ended up collaborating with Prince at some point...

Prince - vocals
Jimi Hendrix - guitar vocals
Strongmad - bass
Fabio - drums

I'd make a superhero/tv-show band!


Bass - The Comicbook Guy from the Simpsons - he just fits the bassplayer stereotypes so damn well.
Guitar - John Petrucci. He is a superhero!
Guitar - Batman! He is cool. Batman with an ESP SV. Hell yeah!
Drums - Hello Kitty. She'd go nuts behind that drumset man! Imagine the heavy double bass.
Vocals - Tough one. Though I think I'd end up with TinTin. You know that guy from the french TV-show when we were kids? Him with a Muse-like voice. Awesome!

Thomas Haake on drums
Fredrik Thordendal on guitar
John Petrucci on guitar
Marcus Miller on bass
Eddie Vedder on vocals.

Oh and Hiromi on piano/synth. That'd be a jam session and a half.

I quite like the idea of this
Half of the old Coheed & Cambria Mic Todd and Josh Eppard
I'd try a bit of Mikael Akerfeldt from Opeth on some dual vocals with Joey Eppard of Three, both of them also sharing the guitar duties.
I dunno if I'd go for some keys but maybe Bob Katsionis from Firewind.
This line-up goes from upstate New York to Sweden to Greece so it's varied

'Three Johns and a Fish"

Guit: John Frusciante (Little John)
Bass: John Entwhistle (Big John)
Drums: Brann Dailor (Not John)
Vocals: the shark from Jaws


you know, for a thread about AMUSING dream band lineups, not many of them are actually amusing?

Syd Barrett (pink floyd) - guitar
Thurston Moore (sonic youth) - guitar
Brian Gibson (lightning bolt) - bass
Algis Kyzis (swans) - bass
Dave Lombardo (slayer) - drums

Produced by Frank Zappa and we would never know what are they playing

Herbie-Keys
Jaco-Bass
Tony Williams-Drums
Mclauglin-Guitar
Michael Brecker-Tenor Sax
Freddie Hubbard-Trumpet
(that's my fusion dream band)

funk dream band:
P-Funk when Fred Wesley and the Horny Horns were with them. that stuff's funky.

Bass=Bootsy Collins

Guitar=Jimmy Page

Drums=Neil Peart

Syd Barret writes the music

Band is Called MindFunk

Syd Barrett (pink floyd) - guitar
Thurston Moore (sonic youth) - guitar
Brian Gibson (lightning bolt) - bass
Algis Kyzis (swans) - bass
Dave Lombardo (slayer) - drums

Produced by Frank Zappa and we would never know what are they playing

Id go see that!

aye, it's kinda my dream tema, and thought it would be funny too

Any band with James Hetfield and Dave Mustaine together in it would totally bring the lolz.

Hendrix, Claypool, and Sandy Nelson

my fantasy band lineup:

Grace Slick, Marty Balin, Paul Kantner, Jorma Kaukonen, Jack Casady, and Spencer Dryden

oh wait... that's Jefferson Airplane:)

For a metal band here's mine:

Singing-Serj Tankian
Drums-Joey Jordinson
Bass-Robert Trujillo
Lead geetar-Zakk Wylde
Rythm geetar-Munky

:bassist:

For a band of a**holes:D-
Vocals-Axl Rose
Guitar-Zakk Wylde
Drums-Lars Ulrich
Bass-Scott Thunes(I think that's his anyways...)

Imagine tryin' to produce them!:cool:

Oddly enough I've given this some thought

Brad Whitford -Guitar
Michael Anthony- bass
Ringo Starr- drums
The guy for Dream Theater- vocals

Bear in mind that I mean no disparagement to any of the aboves talent. It's just been apparent to me that they were overshadowed by the other members of their respective groups.

Try this one :-

Vocals : Osama bin Laden
Guitar : Saddam Hussein
Bass : Stalin
Drums : Adolph Hitler
Sax : Pol Pot
Keyboards : The Boston Strangler, Ken Bianchi or Jeffrey Dahmer
Harp : Mike Tyson
Traingle : Michael Jackson

The question isn't what would they sound like, but rather who would murder Michael Jackson first?

I didn't read the whole list, so I don't know if this is new or not, but here:

Bass- Bootsy Collins
Guitar- Hendrix
Sax- Maceo Parker
'Bone- Fred Wesley
Drums- Stubblefield

Somewhere in heaven I imagine this is going on

Jim Morrison-lead vocals
John lennon- rhythm guitar/vocals
Jimi Hendrix-guitar
John Bonham-drums
John entwistle-bass


John Bonham drums- he can be in two
Dimebag-guitars
Randy Rhoads-guitar
Cliff Burton-bass
Jesus-vocals :D I imagine he'd be a cool guy



these two bands would be headlining and opening for each other also:bassist:

Rob Halford
Eddie Vedder
Maynard James Keenan
Matt Bellamy

Put them together and you got "The World's Greatest Barbershop Quartet":D:D:D

Vocals-Anthony Kiedis
Bass-Flea
Drum-Chad Smith
Guitar/Vocals-John Frusciante

that would be the best band in the world... wait a minute :P


I don't know many drummer people but I'd like to see

Bass-Flea
Guitarist-Hendrix

or

Bass-Jamerson
Guitar-Frusciante

for some reason i just think John could lay down some nice R&B motown guitar riffs

Bass-Brick Tamblen
Drums-Brian Fantana
Guitar- Champ Kind
Vocals/Jazz Flute-Ron Burgandy

that would be awesome...

Vocalist:Robert Plant
Lead Guitar:Jimi Hendrix
Guitar:Clapton or John Lennon
Bass:Tommy Shannon
Drums:mitch mitchell
Keys:Ray Manzarek

That would be for a blues band.

Bass-Brick Tamblen
Drums-Brian Fantana
Guitar- Champ Kind
Vocals/Jazz Flute-Ron Burgandy

that would be awesome...

hmmm, I would definately switch around Brick and Brian.

hmmm, I would definately switch around Brick and Brian.

yeah i wasn't sure which one to go with... i just won't trust brick with a drum set and sticks... decided to go with that... but the Bri-man would probably make a good bassist...

Well Brian is by far the coolest out of them so he is automaticaly on bass. And Brick has the IQ closest to the average drummer (although still substantially higher).

Bass--Joe Osborn
Drums--Hal Blaine
Keys--Larry Knechtel
Guitar--Eddie VanHalen
Vocals--Beach Boys

Old school cool.
