Title: The Ultimate band Post by: Sauza12 on June 09, 2004, 08:52:55 AM I went to go see Rush yesterday, and while I was sitting there, I thougt who would I put in the ultimate band?  So that's what this thread is about.  Who would play what in your all-star band?  Here's my choices:
Singer-Sebastian Bach (Skid Row) This guy can hit an unbelievable range of notes, and he sings with so much emotion it makes you feel like he actually cares about what hes singing Lead Guitarist-Yngwie Malmsteen This was a really tough decision for me.  It was pretty much a tie between Yngwie, Eddie Van Halen, and Jimi Hendrix.  I ended up going with Yngwie because the speed he plays is almost superhuman.  He can run through scales faster than anybody on Earth. Rhythm Guitar-James Hetfield (Metallica) James comes up with some great riffs, and plays with such ferocity that this was an easy choice for me. Bass-Les Claypool (Primus) It was a toss up between him and Geddy Lee, but Les won out in the end.  The way he plays makes having a rhythm guitar completely unnecessary. Drums-Niel Peart (Rush) If you have never heard or seen one of his drum solos, get off your ass and find a copy right now.

lead guitar: Mick Jones Rhythm guitar: Joe Strummer Bass: Paul simonon (he's allowed to sing once in a while too) Drums: Topper Headon The perfect band already was formed in 1976, the Clash. Sure, there might be better individual artists (Jeff Hanneman on guitar for example), but if you'd put all those people together, you'd just get a mess. If you put the people from my list together, you get brilliant music.

Streetcore was such a great album.
Title: Re: The Ultimate band Post by: Arrrhalomynn on June 10, 2004, 08:31:59 AM I mainly like Joe Strummer for what he did with the Clash. His solo work, while being pretty good music, isn't as impressive.
Title: Re: The Ultimate band Post by: Shimra on January 25, 2008, 12:40:43 AM Singer- Thom Yorke
Guitarist- Clapton Bass- Paul Simonon (Clash) Drums- Neil Peart Other- Kjartan Sveinsson (Sigur Ros) Song Writer- Jeff Mangum/Thom Yorke Title: Re: The Ultimate band Post by: Tan on January 25, 2008, 02:26:02 AM Vocals - Chris Cornell
Guitar - Jimmy Page Bass - Geddy Lee Drums - Neil Peart and just for fun: Vocals - Jim Morrison Guitars - Jimi Hendrix & Angus Young Bass - Flea Drums - John Bonham Title: Re: The Ultimate band Post by: hXd on January 25, 2008, 03:10:23 PM This seems like fun. I'm gonna do two bands for my two opposite loves of the music spectrum:
Post-Rock Supergroup: Jónsi Birgisson (Sigur Ros)- Vocals, Guitar Stuart Braithwaite (Mogwai)- Guitar, Vocals Takaakira "Taka" Goto (Mono)- Guitar Teppei Teranishi (Thrice)- Piano/Keyboard Greg Burns (Red Sparowes)- Bass/Slide Guitar Christopher Hrasky (Explosions In The Sky)- Drums Man I even impressed myself with that lineup. They would be the ultimate source of ear shattering destruction and fragile beauty, along with complexity and innovation. If that band ever came to be I would literally crap my pants. Grind/Metal/Hardcore Supergroup: Jake Bannon (Converge)- Vocals Sean Ingram (Coalesce) Vocals Kurt Ballou (Converge)- Guitar, Backup Vocals Ben Weinman (The Dillinger Escape Plan)- Guitar Stacy Hilt (Coalesce)- Bass Gil Sharone (The Dillinger Escape Plan)- Drums Total Annhilation. Period. Two opposite ends of the vocal spectrum with Jake and Sean, powerful riffage from Kurt and mind-bending complex guitar lines from Ben. Groove-tinged bass from Stacy, Blast-beat drums from Gil. Your head would probably explode after 30 seconds of music from this group. Title: Re: The Ultimate band Post by: NES_Rules on March 10, 2008, 11:16:02 AM I've been thinking long and hard about this, and finally came up with one.
Vocals - Paul Rodgers Bass - Roger Glover Guitar - Eric Clapton & Jimi Hendrix Drums - Keith Moon And Paul McCartney and John Lennon to write the songs. Title: Re: The Ultimate band Post by: Shimra on March 30, 2008, 10:47:00 AM Oh yeah, pretty sure the real 'ultimate' band would be The Plastic Ono band.
Title: Re: The Ultimate band Post by: NESman93 on June 03, 2008, 02:45:39 AM Vocals-Bon Scott (yes i know he's dead)
Lead Guitar-Angus Young Bass-Cliff Burton (i know hes dead too) Drummer-Rick Allen Title: Re: The Ultimate band Post by: MarkM2112 on June 17, 2008, 02:23:36 AM Vocals: Freddie Mercury (Queen) Guitar: Steve Howe (Yes) Bass: tie - Geddy Lee (Rush) & Chris Squier (Yes) Drums: Neil Peart (Rush) And what, no Keyboard love? Keyboards: tie - Keith Emerson (ELP) & Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater) Title: Re: The Ultimate band Post by: blcklblskt on August 15, 2008, 01:33:23 PM Vocals: Jim Morrison (The Doors)
Guitars: Dimebag Darrell (Pantera) and Kirk Hammet (Metallica) Bass: Krist Novoselic (Nirvana) Drums: Neil Peart (Rush) If they needed a keyboardist: Ray Manzarek (The Doors) I picked Jim because he was THE MAN when he's a great singer, especially on LA Woman I picked Dimebag b/c his solos are ridiculous and Hammet b/c he is such a great guitarist I picked Krist b/c, well , I don't know I picked Peart b/c he is definately one of the best drummers of all time I picked Manzarek b/c he is awesome. |
