guitar3: Bo diddley(i know, i know, but i love his sound)
Guitar4: lou reed
drums: keith moon (i'm a who fan 'case ya can't tell)
vocals: uhhmmm eddie vedder with backing vocals by the I-threes (haha)

i'm fairly sure that would be the most un cohesive band ever, but it would be cool, who could possibly think of what we'd play. i especially like the idea of having the I-Threes in there
 
OK here goes (gosh this is fun!):

Drums: Steve Ferrone
Percussion: Gumbi Ortiz
Scratcher: Grand Master Flash
Guitars: Steve Lukather & Billy Gibbons
B-3 Organ: T. Lavitz
Saxes: Tom Scott & "Doc" Kupka
Trumpets: Maynard Ferguson & Rick Braun
The Occasional Vocal: Delbert McClinton
And on bass: why, me of course!


We would do whacked-out jazzy blues oriented rock with a funk vibe. Can ya dig it?
 
Ive actually thought about this before...It would be a funk/hiphop/R&B flavor. It would me mostly like a big ass team of rotating people. Like a LHP vs rightes in baseball and vice versa

Drums: Clyde stubblefield/Jabo starks

Keys: Stevie(is there any other better)

Guitar:Craig Ross/Lenny Kravitz

Singers/MCs: Bill Withers, D'Angelo, Jill Scott, Kandi Burress(XScape), Billie Holliday.....(Not enough mics to go around Im sure.

Bass: Me, Fred Thomas, Ron Carter, Marcus Miller.

TOO MUCH FUN!!!!

well...eddie has already played/is friends with Pete and Neil...and he would piss his pants if he got the chance to be in a band with keith...i'm sure we could fit bo, lou and you somewhere :D
 
Alternative rock band:

Drums - Jimmy Chamberlain
Guitar, songwriting - Billy Corgan
Singing, lyrics - Nick Cave
Bass - Me

I'd really like to hear how Corgan's songwriting would go with Cave's lyrics.

Or you could just drop me in Corgan's new band, Zwan, instead of that bassplayer. I think I'd be a very happy camper then.

The drummer from Hole or the cartoon drummer from Josie and the Pussycats: drums.

I don't care if we EVER gig, just to hang on the tour bus.

I'm with you, Max. Last night I started MY Fantasy Band post & then decided against actually posting it.
Well, since you started it...here goes-

Me: Bass
Shakira: Tambourine
Faith Hill: Tambourine
Shania Twain: Tambourine


On a more serious note-
I've noticed the vast majority of you have selected 2 & sometimes THREE guitarists.
What's WRONG WITH YOU!?
