Your Dream Team (lyrics, lead singer, bass, jazz, rock)

Merkaba · 11-12-2005, 01:58 PM

Ok, no doubt stuff similar to this has been done before but I am adding a twist. Kinda.

Mission
You are the lead singer of a band. Pick a maximum of 4 musicians throughout history, who you would personally love to play along with. The musicians can be dead or alive upon picking them.

Inspiration
Think of your favourite style of rock, and the people who influence your tastes.

Choose your Weapons
Pick your favourite musicians, from basists to drummers, trumpet players to guitarists. No more than 4!

Now, this is all subjective to your tastes. So no abusive crap to someone who wants a member of greenday as their guitarist etc etc. Deal with it.

EDIT: Remember, the hardest part is picking someone who would make your style of music the best. Don't just pick your favourites because it would be cool, pick them because they would compliment your tastes the most....Though now that I think about it, tastes = favourites so they are kinda one in the same. ANYWAY....enough from me, have fun kids.

My team: Well I'm going for a stock standard setup...

Guitarist: Dimebag Darrel
Basist: Flea
Drums: Danny Carey

Man, what I wouldn't give to have that lineup behind me.

Guitarist: Jimi Hendrix.
Bassist: Steve Harris (MAIDEN).
Drummer: John Bonham.

The ultimate band in soulful greatness.

Lead guitarist: Billy Corgan
Rythme guitarist: Jack White
Bassist: Matt Freeman
Drummer: travis Barker

wow, now that i look at it that is going to be some wierded out music

Merkaba · 11-12-2005, 04:18 PM

Jack and Billy are interesting choices, would be a cool composition

mosesandtherubberducky · 11-12-2005, 04:19 PM

or instead of Matt the bassist from Death From Above 1979... his name has slipped my mind right now I think it is Jesse though.

Luke Jaeger (Sleep Terror) - Guitar
Michael Amott (Arch Enemy, Carcass) - Guitar

these two would combine the best of both worlds, Prog Death and Melodic Thrash. The results would be mind numbing.

Stefan Fimmers (Necrophagist) - Bass

very few bassist I have heard capture the essence of controlled chaos like Fimmers does. His sheer inventiveness and fretwork leave almost everyone in the dust.

Gene Hogan (Dark Angel, Strapping Young Lad) - Drums

who better than the God of Thunder to be pounding away at the skins? Able to throw down blast beats (he along with Cryptopsy's Flo Mounier can do double blast beats as well) as well as jazz fills, nothing comes close to his style and precision.

We'd be the best jazz/death band ever. With actual lyrics. Ephel Duath better watch their back.

Peter Gabriel - Vocalist/Recorder
Ian Anderson - Vocalist/Flute/Accoustic Guitar
