Your ultimate supergroup.

[Nicolay3535]

Corey Glover- vocals (living color)
David Navarro Lead guitar (janes addiction)
Marcus Miller- bass
Brain- drums (paraxis and primus)
Bernie Worrel- synths (parliament)
Karl Denson- sax (Karl Denson's tiny universe)
Fred Wesley- trombone (the jb's)
Jimi Page- theramin (Zeppelin)

I can feel the bluesy psychedelic yet extremely funky hard sounds that would be birthed from these amazing musicians!

Still off topic. Dave Grohls songwriting is predictable. He uses the same types of hooks on every album. Yeah I know it's radio and ear friendly but I get bored of it. I haven't really liked an album since The Colour and Shape. That album is fantastic.

+1 thank you it needed to be said

 

[jnevi9nr]

Thom Yorke
David Gilmour
Paul McCartney
Carter beauford

Steve lilywhite as producer.

 

[jnevi9nr]

[iridiumrocks]

What about this for some funky/jazzy/prog stuff:

Drums: Neil Peart
Guitar: Jeff Beck
Vocals: Robert Plant
Bass: Les Claypool

Imagine a mix of YYZ, Freeway Jam, Black Dog, and Tommy the Cat

 

[Passinwind]

I know supergroups are generally seen as the disappointments of the music world (exceptions being Cream, Them Crooked Vultures and Audioslave) but what would be your perfect supergroup?

3-5 completely unknown players, playing in any genuinely new and original genre of their choice.

Bass/Vocals: Geddy Lee

Matt Belamy: Guitar/Vocals/Piano
Paul McCartney: Piano/Guitar/Bass/Vocals
Dave Grohl: Drums/Vocals
Flea: Bass (When Pauls on something else)/Trumpet (When Pauls on Bass)
Dave Matthews: Accoustc Guitar/Vocals

 

[Duke21]

Chris Squire on bass
Bill Bruford on drums
Steve Howe on guitar
Rick Wakeman on keys
And maybe Trevor Horne, or Jon Anderson on vocals

And the name is YES!

An other super group is Transatlantic, where the members are from Dream Theater, Spock's Beard, Marillion, The Flower Kings and Pain of Salvation.

YYZ? I can't see it done better than it is done by Rush.

 

[GrantStuff]

Interesting! But I can't see Clapton with Claypool or Slash, have you chose Wooten and BB King, he might even say to that.

 

[jnevi9nr]

Guitar, Eric Johnson
Drums, Carter Beauford
Bass, Stefan Lessard

that would sound interesting. not sure what they would play.

 

[Nicolay3535]

YYZ? I can't see it done better than it is done by Rush.

I'm pretty sure he's referring to mix of sounds not the actual songs.

 

[ShredderMaximus]

My super neo-classical speed metal band:

vocals: A young Rob Halford
lead guitar: Jason Becker (when he was still able to play)
rhythm guitar: Paul Gilbert
bass: Steve DiGiorgio
drums: Dave Lombardo

All still alive, but you never said anything about any era restraints

 

[Hopkins]

that would sound interesting. not sure what they would play.

I'm thinking something very Jazzy
