Fantasy Rock Band
Who would you have in yours? You can have anyone, living or dead, in the rock scene, but no more than two members of any one band (unless they were in that band but are now in another, ie you could have Phil Lynott, Brian Downey AND Gary Moore, as the last is now a solo artist).
You should pick the following:- One lead singer (should not play any instrument) One lead guitarist Two rhythm guitarists One bass player One or two keyboard/piano player(s) One drummer You can also pick up to three additional musicians, who play some alternative instrument (violin/banjo/sax etc) Interested to see what sort of fantasy rock bands people will pick, and how different (or similar) they'll be... |

If we're confining it to 'rock' here's mine;
Steve Perry - Vocals Michael Schenker (as he was between 73-78) - Lead Guitar John Entwistle - Bass Johny Marr - Rhythm Guitar Scott Gorham - Rhythm Guitar John Bonham - Drums Not sure how that would sound, possibly too many egos?? |

Good choices all.
I had a think about mine last night, and here's what I've come up with:- Ronnie James Dio --- lead vocals Rory Gallagher --- lead guitar and backing vocals Dave Murray (Iron Maiden) --- rhythym guitar 1 John Sykes (Thin Lizzy/Tygers of Pan Tang) --- rhythm guitar 2 Mark Kelley (Marillion) --- keyboards Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) --- bass guitar Rick Davies (Supertramp) --- piano Cozy Powell --- drums Additonal members:- Clarence Clemmons (The E Street Band) --- sax Charlie Daniels --- fiddle Lots of possible choices of course --- Phil Lynott would have been a shoe-in for bass, but then he would have had to do lead vocals too, and many choices for the lead vocal, including Bowie, Bon Jovi, Jon Anderson and Steve Perry, but I tried to put people where (in theory) they would not have a problem performing. Mark Knopfler was another one, good for rhythm guitar but would have wanted to sing too. These rock stars! |

One lead singer - Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs)
One lead guitarist - Jack White (White stripes etc.) Two rhythm guitarists - Stuart Braithwaite (Mogwai)/Ian MacKaye(Fugazi/Minor Threat) One bass player - Peter Hook (Joy Division/New Order) One or two keyboard players - Phil Oakey and Martyn Ware (New Order/Heaven 17) One drummer - Fab Morretti (The Strokes) Aditional Members Brian Eno - doing whatever it is he feels like doing God only knows what they would produce. But it would be good and it would be mental. EDIT: I know having oakey and Ware is a push since we wanted a "rock" band. But if i'm putting a keyboard player in its going to be 80's electro or the bloke from crystal castles.

Brian Tatler! a very underated guitarist from a very underated band. Have been re-visiting Diamond Head's Canterbury album recently and his playing on that is superb!
He's a very humble guy and a true gent. |
