Create your dream band

Singer: Robert Plant (male), Stevie Nicks (female)
Guitar 1: John Butler - best solo I've ever heard -

Guitar 2: Lindsay Buckingham - my favorite song of all time -

Guitar 3: THIS GUY - wait for the riff at 58 seconds -

Bass: Flea
Bass 2: John McVie
Drums: Neil Peart --

-- OR Mick Fleetwood

 

I'm assuming that genre doesn't really matter.

Vocals -- Otis Redding.
Lead Guitar -- Duane Allman
2d Lead -- Clapton
Bass -- Duck Dunn
Drums -- Keith Moon.

Am I alone in hoping that Pattie Boyd somehow manages to find this thread?

 

Good call on Otis, F_B

 

Actually, the Who and the Rolling Stones were pretty close to all-star bands all by themselves from about 1967-75.

Moon, Entwistle and Townshend were routinely ranked among the top performers on their respective instruments. As were Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman and Keith Richards.

Vocalists are entirely acquired tastes, but Daltrey and Jagger have always had adherents who said they were the best at what they did.

And the same, of course, could be said about Led Zeppelin.

 

Assuming they're all in their prime . . . .

Singer: Sebastian Bach (hell of a voice, moves between metal and softer stuff, and the ladies will come out in droves to see him sing)
Rhythm Guitar: Scott Ian, Anthrax
Lead Guitar: Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin
Bass: Cliff Burton, Metallica
Drummer: Neil Peart, Rush

Lyrics: John Lennon
Music/riffs/hooks: James Hetfield

Manager: Peter Grant. He'll make sure they get their money, and make sure the egos can co-exist.

 

Vocals: Eddie Vedder
Guitar: Eric Clapton
Guitar: Steve Hackett
Bass: Geddy Lee
Keyboards/Synths: Tony Banks or Billy Joel (atmosphere or virtuosity? Take your pick ... )
Percussion: Neil Peart

 

They already exist and have been recording for 25 years.

 

The perfect hair metal band

Vocals -- Sebastian Bach
Bass -- the guy from Warrant (Jerry something or other)
Guitar -- Slash
Guitar -- C.C. DeVille
Drums -- Rick Allen

 

That might very well be. But Dokken is the best Dream Warriors band.

 

Eddie Hazel, Michael Hampton, Bootsy Collins, George Clinton and pick a drummer. Bernie Worrell on the keyboard.

 

I'll see that and raise you:

Drums: Willie Hall
Guitar: SRV
Guitar: Clapton
Vocals: B.B. King
Bass: Meh, whomever. With that lineup, it won't matter.

 

BB is a VERY underrated singer.
