Sign in to disble this ad
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.

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.

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...

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 - guitar and loops steve lawson - bass and loops bj cole - pedal steel guitar and vocals (listen to the grey box on the left) neil peart - drums Jens Johansson - keyboards
and maybe swap out fripp for ned evett on fretless guitar |

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?
