If you could build a band, who whould be in it.

Ginger Baker: Drums
Willie Nelson: Vocals/Bass
Keith Richards: Guitar

Band Name....... Prune Face
 
My dream band:

Guitar and bass and drums (me) from my early 80s band:

And sax player from a later incarnation of the band:

Plus the singer from my current band:

I mean, c'mon ... even discounting a few of minor mortality issues Will Calhoun, Jaco, Jeff Beck, Josef Zawinul, Michael Brecker, Miles, John Lennon and Joni Mitchell (with Jesse Garon dancing) aren't going to start up a band on my behalf :)

I want to be in this band!! Who let Jesse in?
 
yes, like the rest I'd have me on drums plus:

Pierre Moerlen - mallet percussion and timpanis
John Williams - acoustic guitar
David Gilmour - electric guitar
Jaco Pastorius - bass
Didier Malherbe - saxes and flutes
Keith Emerson - piano
Bach - violin
Louis Armstrong - trumpet

man, that's some band
 
I would actually be Dave Grohl.

Bass: John Paul Jones, Paul McCartney, or Flea

Guitar: Jimmy Page, Josh Homme, or Dan Auerbach

Vocals: Dan Auerbach, Josh Homme, or Jack White
 
Pete Townshend, rythm guitar.
Mark Knopfler, lead guitar.
John Entwistle, bass.
John Coltrane, sax.
Fiona Apple, piano/keys.
Me, drums/percussion.

Vocals... not sure. Any good singer would do.

Oops, six weeks late responding but better late than never, eh? Jesse the dancer is compulsory - the icing on the cake.

A few interesting suggestions here ... Hercules ... I can see your rhythm section getting along but Keith Emerson and Satchmo in the same band ... weird, but I can almost imagine Louis belting out "Welcome back my friends to this show that never end!" ... almost :)

Lex, why not have Fiona Apple sing?
 
I guess I would want to play the drums in the band I was creating, but if it was just a dream group of guys playing together it would look like this.

Danny Carey on drums. Real original I know, but his playing just speaks to me.
Dave Mustain on lead guitar. I know he is usually more of a rhythm player but one of my favorite solos of all time he played. Plus he would need to play lead so I could have:
James Hetfield on rhythm guitar. Not the greatest player, but somebody has to write the songs and IMO he is the best in the metal business.
I would want Flea on the bass because the combo of him and the two metal guitarists could be very cool. He would take a bit of a backseat in this band, but he could add so much to the songwriting and overall texture of the songs.
For vocals I would want Corey Taylor from Slipknot/Stone Sour. He has an incredible voice and can really get down and scream it out when necessary.

So there you go. Now if I could just make it happen.
