swingset Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 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.

vf1000ride Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) I am thinking alot farther from the edges.John Popper on vocals and harmonica, Blues travelerJimi Hendrix on guitar, yep JimiLes Claypool on bass, PrimusDave Carey for drums, ToolIf 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. The horn section from Big Bad Voodoo DaddyAnd I want that big ass 6ft drum on springs the blue man group used in their megastar tour. 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.

redkow97 Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 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 DioBass - FleaDrums - Dave GrohlGuitar - 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) Guitar - Mark Knopfler (purely because I think the riff in "money for nothing" is the best single guitar riff of all time.)I much prefer his work from "sultans of swing" I've always wanted to learn that particular guitar solo at the end...
