The Official 'Create Your Ultimate Band' Thread

this is f*cking impossible, i thought i was getting somewhere but i ended up with 4 or 5 rotating merabers for each part... and another 3 or 4 just standing around looking cool. so it's not definitive. but it's a stadium-straddling super-rock outfit, nothing too highbrow

mollycculs - manager, accountant, creative co-ordinator, 'vibes'

scott walker/ david bowie - vocals

frank zappa - lead guitar/ sometime arranger and orchestra conductor

prince - second guitar, various instrumental duties (it's my band and i want another one)

johnny thunders - rhythm guitar/ backing vocals

chris squire - bass guitar

richard starkey - drums (leave off you bastarRAB he's up to this job)

sun ra - keys and synthesizers, principally Vox organ. this seems like an erroneous choice but luckily our visions coincide when in 2012 Saturn aligns with the earth, he takes it as a sign and does whatever the f*ck i tell him

mark e.smith/ malcolm eden (from 80's socialist indiepop group McCarthy) - lyrics

bez - backing vibes, pure-grade mandy (NO OTHER DRUGS ALLOWED)

there would also be a visual co-ordinator of some sort but i can't think of anyone who's famous for working projectors and lighting

also optional would be Terminator X and any nuraber of MC's (preferably Biz Markie, he would need the money) for old skool-breaks in the intermission...

At this point Syd Barrett would be amongst the crowd serving tea and battenburg cake.

EDIT: also john lennon and paul mcCartney on tape loops and percussion variously
 
Well get my tone jackass. That nasal-voiced hack of a grunge god ain't gat no place in my band. Make your own makeup kit-weilding trash if you love him so much. Then marry him...is what you should do...carebear.
 
I think you can, there's some guitar parts in songs like Florida and Steam Engenius which are the definitely the sort of jangly pop style he does.

It could have happened. Its funny to imagine what it would have been like if it was Hendrix singing Karn Evil 9 and dueting on guitar with Emersons synthesizers. :laughing:
 
vocals-whats his name from rise against
drums-dave grohl
guitar-that dude from gnr...slash?
bass-quinn allman

interesting corabination, no? i honestly didnt think about that at all. just off the top of my head.
 
They don't have to be alive do they?

Bjork- Vocals
Jim Morrison- Vocals
Miles Davis- Trumpet
Bill Frisell- Guitar
Kronos Quartet- Strings
Pino Palladino- Electric Bass
Herbie Han****- Rhodes/ Piano
Ted Poor- Drums

I need a super gritty guitar player. Maybe Marc Ribot. Georgy Ligeti would write for the strings. Wayne Shorter and Bill Laswell would write most of the tunes together. There would be lots of space and room for improvisation with most of the chord changes being handled by the string quartet. This music sounRAB so ****ing awesome in my head. Wow.
 
Jeff Mangum - Rhythm, Vocals, Lyrics
Jimi Paige - Lead Guitar
Johnny Greenwood - More Guitar, Random Awesomeness
Geddy Lee - Bass
Neil Peart - Drums

not sure how Mangum would really fit in with the bunch though so to be more practical we'll go with Freddy Mercury as a vocalist in his place
