Question Dream band!!!!

[Dancing man]

Right if you could make a band for one night to play the biggest concert ever who would you pick they can be alive or dead.

Here's mine

Singer - Kurt Cobain
Guitarist - Jimi Hendrix
Bassist - Flea
Drummer - Joey Jorridison or Dave Grohl (I cant decide)

Whats yours?

 

[Yam Sham]

Oh, man, that's tough! Mostly because my favorite band members vary so much, if I meshed them all together, it would be pretty weird. In other words, I was going to have Dimebag be the guitarist and Freddie Mercury as the singer at first, and then I thought, "wait a minute...that wouldn't work."

But as for sounds that go together, here's mine:
Singer: Freddie Mercury.
Guitarists: David Gilmour and Steve Howe...I'm not sure who would do rhythm and who would do lead because they're both so amazing!
Bassist: Chris Squire.
Drummer: Neil Peart.
Keyboards (if they're in the band, that is!): Rick Wakeman.

 

[Crazy Flakes]

Singer: Jon Anderson
Guitar: Steve Howe
Bass: Chris Squire
Drums: Neil Peart
Keyboards: Rick Wakeman

That's just Yes with Rush's drummer, I know, but they're my favorite band of all time!

 

[JCC]

Guitar and Vocals: Tom Waits
Piano: Duke Ellington
Bass: Les Claypool/Victor Wooten
French Horn: Zach Condon
Drummer: Ben Koller
Saxophone: John Coltrane
Marimba, Congo, Bass Drum, Tambourine, Loads of other stuff: Victor Feldman

 

[InLoveWithBuffy]

Vocals - Bruce DickInSon or James hetfield, Or Dave Mustaine
Guitarist - Kirk Hammett, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, Gary Moore ( All these together)
Bassist - Cliff Burton(Rest In Peace), Or Jason Newsted if Cliff couldn't come from Heaven, OR Tom Araya
Drums - 80's Lars Ulrich or Dave Lombardo
Keyboardist - Janne Wirman or Jens Johansson

 

[Washburne]

Well I´m only going to pick personal favourites and that has nothing to do with how "good" they are in comparision. They probably wouldn´t do that well together but I don´t care.

Vocals: Tarja Turunen
Guitar: John Petrucci
Bass: Jason Newstedt
Drums: Rick Allen (Well, an one-armed drummer is cool!)
Keyboards: Martin L. Gore

 

[Kean]

Ok these are my personal favourite musicians I don't believe for a second they wold make for a great band. Think of the music version of Real Madrid, all the quality, all the big names but not a team to be seen😀

Vocals: Chris Cornell. The man can saaaang not sing. His vocals are amazing.
Guitar: Hendrix. He is just untouchable. I mean have you heard Red house?
Drums: John Bonham (Zepplin). Needs no explanation.
Keyboards: Stevie Wonder.There are few people who can do what he does with a piano.

They are my pics but I could also argue that the perfect band already exists; Led Zepplin. They had the perfect pieces of the puzzle. Each member of the band was just as great as the other.

Oops, I accidentally posted my rep comment early...I just wanted to say that your band would be freakin' awesome!

While I fully appreciate the 80s Thrash revival theme, Lars is an awful drummer. He even said so himself.

Edit:

His drumming suited Metallica's music, but his drumming itself is infantile. He's not even the best drummer in Metallica, hahaha.

 

[Buffanator]

My "dream band" is already a band. Nobody has ever outdone, or will ever outdo, PINK FLOYD. The music, the lyrics, the sound... it's so.... complete.

 

[TheHeartist]

Singer: Ronnie James Dio
Guitar #1: Joe Perry
Guitar #2: John Frusciante
Bass and backing vocals: Lemmy
Drums: Terry Bozio

That's a band that would rock the **** out in my opinion.

 

[JCC]

Like James better do we? He never played drums in Europe. 🙁 At least not then I watched them. ut that was a while ago to say the least. Thank god for vhs. Yes, Im that old. Or have I maybe misssed something?

Awesome, someone else saw that clip. Yeah, James was much better than Lars and Lars knew it.

Oh, yeah it´s in the "Live Shit: Binge & Purge"-box. At the time a given buy for me. They never used it in Europe since they thought "we" would think it´s boring! Stupid thinking.

Pink Floyd is amazing. The only band I think has outdone them is Yes, but they're my favorite band ever, so...

And Band 2:

Vocals, Guitars - James Hetfield
Guitars - Kirk Hammett
Bass - Cliff Burton (Rest In Peace)
Drums - Lars Ulrich

That's just the old Metallica lineup, but I can't say I can blame you for choosing them. Cliff Burton is truly one of the greatest bassists of all time (RIP 🙁 ), and Kirk Hammett is freakin' amazing. But, as much as I love James Hetfield, I definitely think Bruce Dickinson is the best metal vocalist ever.

I'm surprised no one has used any of The Beatles yet! They're the most inspirational band of all time!

Well, Paul McCartney's and John Lennon's solo careers aren't great, Ringo doesn't have one and I guess George Harrison produced the best material and his wasn't noteworthy.

The Beatles were amazing when they were together. When separated, they seemed to meander around. However, I am firm in the belief that very few albums will ever come close to touching Sgt Pepper.
