Fantasy Bands? This Week: Power Trios

How about-

Jimi Hendrix
Jaco
Keith Moon

Three huge players... three huge sounds.

For a jazz trio:

Buddy Rich
Oscar Pettiford
Charlie Parker

 

Willie Nelson - Vocals\Guitar
Matt Malley - Bass
Jon Fishman - Drums\Vocals

Laid back Tex/Mex/Outlaw/Bluegrass/Country/Jam Band

 

well being the semi prog snob i am here goes:

drums: danney carey (tool) this guy can groove like nobodies business, and he's technical as s*** (he practices snare rudiments on his double bassses!)
bass: geddy lee (rush) great bass lines, great vocals
guitar: john petrucci (dream theater) amazing chops as well as great song writer, good back up vocals as well

man that would be great...

 

Hmm, an interesting proposition... Lemme see...<p>
How about:
Robert Fripp (King Crimson) on guitar,
Jaco on bass,
and Alex Acuna on drums.<p>
It'd be an experimental prog-funk-fusion instrumental mess.

 

I think it's a good idea to limit this to living players, Hendrix and Jaco are too worn out for those games.

Right now I'd like to hear a combination:

Andy Timmons - guitar and vocals

Doug Pinnick - bass and vocals

Virgil Donati - drums


King's X is my favorite real power trio, if only they'd make decent albums again...

 

I just want to see the Police get back together..........

 

I second that.

 

The late great Bradley of Sublime on Guitar and Vox
Sting on Bass and Vox
Stewart Copeland on Drums

For FUnk

Prince - Guitar and Vox
Bootsy - Bass
Steve Gadd - Drums

 

JMX..do you have "Black Like Sunday", the new King's X release? Its "old school" Kings X. It rocks! Its a big departure from Manic Moonlight.

 

I have it, and it's definitely an improvement - but still nothing like the first albums.

 

My fantasy trio already existed -

Mike Watt -bass/vocals
D Boon - Guitar/vocals
George Hurley - drums

AKA The Minutemen!!

But I suppose if someone put a gun to my head-

Keith Moon-drums
John Doe -bass/vocals
Ron Ashton-guitar

 

Geezer - bass
Neil Peart - drums
Adrian Smith - guitar

Steve Harris - bass
Dave Mustaine - Guitar
Dave Lombardo - drums

David Ellefson - bass
Angus Young - guitar
Bill Ward - drums

One of these...or any combo of the people mentioned i think would be cool. Sorry if i cheated and made more than one selection haha

 

Cliff Burton
John Bonham
Jimi Hendrix

 

My fantasy trio was Primus...



but...


Brad Wilk (RATM, Audioslave) - Drums
Flea (RHCP) - Bass
Jack Owen (Cannibal Corpse) - Guitar


I just love the concept of a funky ass rhythm section, with really heavy guitar. And Jack is more than just your run of the mill death metal guitarist. I have a CD from guitar player magazine where a bunch of guitarist (and billy sheehan) got to arrange their own composition and get people together to make their own song. And they had a bunch of death metal guys playing non death metal. Jack Owen did some really nice stuff on that, it was a nice arrangement. I don't know who would do vocals... but as long as it wasn't Flea.


Ohhhh YeaaaaaaAAah I'm smaaaaaaaaalllll!

 

i also tought that primus was the power trio
but...

niel zaza (guitar)
bill dickens (bass)
bobby rock (drums)

these guys are ok

i highly recomend jungle boogie played thru this guys

 

Rush

 

How 'bout this trio:

Michael Manring - bass
Sean Reinart (Gordian Knot) - drums
Scott Henderson - Guitar

or:

Stuart Zender - bass
Morgan Rose (Sevendust) - Drums
Mike Enziger(Incubus) - Guitar

 

Actually, there's a new project coming out which isn't too far off...

Adrian Belew (King Crimson, guitar/vocals)
Les Claypool (YUK! Get Geddy instead!)
Danny Carey (Tool, drums)

 

I'd like to see

Adrien Belew-Guitar/vox
Robert Trujillo-Bass
Bill Bruford-drums


that would be kick another-name-for-a-mule
