Your Ultimate Band

Stanley has played bass before, I'm just having trouble finding the piece right now! It wasn't a career move or anything it was just a session he did and a good one at that. He's better on the old six string, a genius in fact, but I felt greedy having Joe Satriani, Carlos Santana AND Stanley Jordan all on guitar, but I had to have him somewhere in there.

Oh, ok. He did a one time session on bass? I'd be interested in hearing that one. And yes, he was and, I'm sure, still is, genius on the sixer. Just miss hearing him. It's been TOO long.

Yea, Joe, Carlos, and SJ would be an awesome 3-axe jam. That's for sure! Thanks again,
Rossy_j...Play On! ;-)

Hey...you can always dream, right?
 
Here's my idea:

Rhthym Guitar/Lead Vocal- Brendan Bayliss
Lead Guitar/Backing Vocals- Jake Cinniger
Bass/No Vocals- Ryan Stasik
Keyboards/Backing Vocals- Joel Cummins
Percussion/Overall prescence- Andy Farag

Hmmm... sounds kind of familiar, like a band I know...

Drums: Brann Dailor (Mastodon)
Bass: Les Claypool (Primus (and 1000000 other bands))
Guitar: Stevie Ray Vaughn (Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble)
Vocals: Freddie Mercury (Queen)
(He's one of my all time favorites but I don't know what he would sing with these guys. Meh, I like it)
 
Cool thread. I'd have a P-Funk sized band on stage!

Drums - Stanton Moore
Drums - Bill Bruford
Percussion - Domingo Ortiz (Widespread Panic)
Bass - Bootsy Collins
Bass - Geddy Lee (but he gets no mic!)
Guitar + Vocals - Warren Haynes
Guitar - John Scofield
Guitar + Vocals - Jerry Garcia
Keys + Vocals - Bruce Hornsby
Keys - Thelonius Monk
Horns - John Coltrane
Horns - Ornette Coleman
Horns - Charlie Parker
Horns - Wynton, Branford and Delfeayo Marsalis
 
Other then U2...

Here's a cool band:

Drums: Me
Guitar/Vocals: John Mayer
Bass: Pino Palladino
Piano/Vocals: Ray Charles

One day.....
 
well one with my friends would be:

Guitar: Daniyal Hashmi
Guitar: Nadir Ali Khan
Guitar + Vocals: Zaka Bhatty
Bass: Faizan Hashmi
Bass: Taimoor Ahmed
Keyboards: Salik Aleem
Drums: Murtaza Ahmed(myself)

with famous musicians it would be:

Joe Satriani - Guitar
Adrian Smith - Guitar
Janick Gers - Guitar
Bruce Dickinson - Vocals
Dave Matthews - Vocals
Steve Harris - Bass
Victor Vooten - Bass
John Louis Pinto - Drums
 
Bass - Geddy Lee (but he gets no mic!)

Ahahaha... You know the first time I heard Rush on the radio and i didn't know it was Rush I was thoroughly convinced that a woman was singing.
 
I think the perfect band was Queens of The Stone Age, a couple of years ago, when they still played with:

Lead vocals/guitars: Josh Homme
Bass + back. vocs: Nick Oliveri
Drums: Dave 'Backbone' Grohl
2nd guitar: Troy Van Leeuwen
Guest vocals: Mark Lanegan
(Keys: Natasha Schneider)

because it's a fact that it worked, you know the whole thing, these people, as a band. But if I had to select individuals and put them in a band...Hmm let's see, probably:

Lead Vocals: John Garcia (Kyuss)
Back. vox: Layne Staley (AIC)
Drums: Dave Grohl / me
Bass player: tough one: ben kenney, cliff burton, or justin chancellor
Keys: Jon Lord
Rythm guitar: Josh Homme
Lead Guitar: David Gilmour

I wonder how that would turn out.

btw: recently some of Belgiums biggest radiostations and tv-channels organised an election for the ultimate band (so the viewers/listeners could vote for the best: drummer/guitar player/bass player/singer/keyboard player individually) and guess what... all the members of pink floyd were sperately chosen to be respectively the best at their instrument. So pink floyd as ultimate band of all time... kind of a complimen I guess
 
Bass-Sid Vicious (Sex Pistols)
Guitar- John5 (Rob zombie, Manson)
Samples- Craig "133"Jones (Slipknot) (thats right, a sample player damnit!)
Drums-Branden Steineckert (The Used, Rancid)
Lead vox- Brandon Saller (Drums: Atreyu)


It would be a pretty crazy band i think. im not normaly into this kinda music but it would rock.
 
This is a hard decision, because I like so much music out there...

Drums: Me... well it is my dream band right?
Guitar: John Frusciante, Thurston Moore, and John Lee Hooker
Bass: Les Claypool
Vocals: Mike Patton and Beth Gibbons
Keys: Trent Reznor and Ellis Marsalis
Turntables: Paul D. Miller (a.k.a. DJ Spooky)
Xylophone: Frank Zappa
Trumpet: Miles Davis


OK, now that I would like to hear.
