That's just it. Build a band living or dead members.

Mike Patton Vocals

Faith no More, Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, Phantomas

Odd ball guy but talented.

Paul Gilbert guitar

Racer X, Mr. Big, Self

Phenomenal but goofy as shit.

Rocky George guitar

Suicidal Tendencies, Infectious Grooves, Fishbone

Just a bad ass.

Rob Trujillo bass

Suicidal Tendencies, Infectious Grooves, Ozzy

If you only know his work in metallica your missing out.

Dave Carey drums

Tool

Super-bands generally sound great on paper, and end up writing bloated crappy music, but I'll play along.

I'd go at it from a "who would write good music together" rather than instrument proficiency thing or fame.

Vocals/guitar - Nuno Bettencourt. Good singer, even better guitarist, and super versatile writer (check out his solo album Nuno, or his writing on his wife's album "Telelove"...he's a lot more than Extreme's stuff).

Bass - Dave Anthony. Yeah, Van Halen's bassist. Most overlooked bassist ever. Sounds good, knows how to keep a groove going, and great backing vocalist...which everyone overlooks when doing a band. Best of all, he plays to the song instead of stomping on it like many "talented" bassists do.

Keyboards (no one ever puts a keyboard player in the band?) - Roddy Bottum (hey, we both picked a Faith No More guy). He's got a great quirky flair, but can play straight and tasteful...and he's a cool songwriter.

Drums - Andy Sturmer from the Jellyfish. Any dude that can play drums standing up as a frontman is cool....and he's also good backing singer and songwriter.

I'd love to hear what these four came out of the studio sounding like.

I am thinking alot farther from the edges.

John Popper on vocals and harmonica, Blues traveler

Jimi Hendrix on guitar, yep Jimi

Les Claypool on bass, Primus

Dave Carey for drums, Tool

If you wanted to toss in some extras;

Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull for some wild Flute work

The entire band Apocalyptica, when you need strings. :bow:

The horn section from Big Bad Voodoo Daddy

And I want that big ass 6ft drum on springs the blue man group used in their megastar tour. :rolleyes:

The problem comes down to who would write the music as none of them play the same kinds of stuff. The only requirement would be that it would need to be hearing loss loud from every seat. :cool:

i'm thinking of a lot of people who are great at what they do, but most wouldn't really jive too well in a single band...

Vocals - Ronnie James Dio

Bass - Flea

Drums - Dave Grohl

Guitar - Mark Knopfler (purely because I think the riff in "money for nothing" is the best single guitar riff of all time.)

as noted, I enjoy each of those individual musicians, because I think they're amazing at what they do in their chosen genre of music. I can't really hear their styles jiving though...

I much prefer his work from "sultans of swing" I've always wanted to learn that particular guitar solo at the end...

Chris is pretty damn good. I just wish Dave would move on from the political rant songs. I can't hadly stand to listed to their last few albums as a result.

Agreed. The last time we saw them at the Newport, Chris was amaz-z-zing!

Has anybody heard if the new Soundgarden album is any good?

I heard a sneak track a while back on an interview, didn't do anything for me.

If you haven't heard Big Wreck, check them out the singer sounds a lot like Cornell, but they're more laid back and better musicians (IMHO).
