Make A Band


New York Mick

Recommended Posts

A lot of the posters on here have good taste in music (other then Blackout) so I figured I'd do this again. I did this last year on JI and a lot of good bands were made up as well as a few that made no God damn sense what so ever. I'm not going to make a contest out of this years, I just want to see what poster come up with.

Guitar/Vocals - Stevie Ray Vaughn

Guitar/Vocals - Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top)

Bass - Phil Lesh (Grateful Dead)

Drums - Steve Jordan

Writer - Jimi Hendrix

Borgo, some very good choices. I like Pinnick on Bass/Vocals and especially Townsend on rhythm. The guy plays chords like nobody else. Sounds like you've read Hammer of the Gods as well.

Pinnick is a mostly unsung (no pun intended ;)) artist. Peter Grant was just a complete madman. I can't imagine having to negotiate with him, or the unenviable task of telling him something had gone wrong.

I would have like 3...but this is the one I would be most interested in hearing what they cam up with...

Vocal - Joe Strummer

Rhythm - Pete Townsend

Lead - Ron Asheton

Bass - Flea

Drums - John Bonham

Ron Asheton is a very interesting choice. Kudos. He died recently, and his unique sound/massive tone will be missed.

Monn and Bonham were great friends. Drawn to the the same exact position, and the same exact problems.

Entwistle doesn't get enough credit. There weren't many people playing bass like a lead instrument until he came along. It simply was thoguht of as part of the bass section keeping time.

Yeah.

He was one one of the first guys to have that very "bright" bass sound with the round wound strings. Chris Squire was another. I think John's nickname was The Ox. Anyway, he was great. When all hell broke loose onstage with Townsend and Moon's insanity, John would keep it goin'. I still love the lyrics to My Wife

That's correct, Doug. I saw his band--Entwistle's Ox--at the Beacon Theater (I think, but the years cloud my memory) back in the 70s. I was a garage band bass player in those days and always wanted to sound like Entwistle and Squire. I could never afford the stereo Rikenbacker, but always had Rotosound strings on my Precision.

now i dont know if others did this.. but my "band" would be people that given their styles, might not groove together perfectly.

would you change your band if they actually had to play together? I know that given the quality of musicians, they probably could compromise and come up with something interesting.. but i am not sure i would pick that exact group.

does that make sense?

Warrel Dane (Sanctuary) - Vocals

Gary Holt (Exodus) - guitars

Rick Hunolt (Exodus) - guitars

Steve DiGiorgio (Sadus) - Bass

Gene Hoglan (Dark Angel) - Drums

Reckon if you're going to have a twin guitar line up, it's best served by putting two guys who are proven to work together, like Weikath/Hansen, Murray/Smith Hanneman/King etc.

I just went for the H-Team.
