Ultimate Bond

[Masamunemaster]

Heres how this game is going to work: one person will pick a Genre of music then we will just come up with the best people to fit into the ultimate band for the Genre.

I guess I will start with the genre: Classic Rock

[Fatal Impurity]

Probably Queen or Aerosmith or the such (not my personal preferance just going on history here)

[Rengori]

Classic rock is become a broader term every year, it's near impossible to pick one band to cover all of classic rock. That being said it's probably Led Zeppelin.

[I Took the Red Pill]

I'm pretty sure he wants individual people coming together to make one band, so I'm going to say I'd have Jim Morrison on vocals.

[Rengori]

If that's the case, than Clapton on lead guitar.

[Slothy]

You would need John Bonham on drums in that case.

[blim]

I think for a classic rock band, on drums its between Moon and Bonham. I reckon Bonham just edges it. For bass i reckon its either John Paul Jones, John Entwistle or at a push Donald 'Duck' Dunn (not his normal genre but i reckon he'd do a great job). On guitar id have Malcolm Young and Jimmy Page, though Paul Kossof and the guy from Lynyrd Skynyrd would be good too. Singing would have to be Paul Rogers, Freddie Mercury or preferably Robert Plant. So i may as well have just said Led Zep!

[Masamunemaster]

You all are catching on and those are great ideas but do we all want to agree on one set of people?

[Ryth]

I don't like the choice classic rock. D: Be more specific.

Vocal Choices:
-Robert Plant
-Ozzy Osbourne
-Peter Gabriel

Guitar Choices:
-Jimi Hendrix
-Robert Fripp
-Frank Zappa
-Eric Clapton
-Steve Hackett
-Steve Howe
-Tony Iommi

Bass Choices:
-Geddy Lee
-Chris Squire
-Jaco Pastorius
-Roger Waters

Drum Choices:
-Bill Bruford
-Neil Peart
-Ginger Baker
Edit: -Keith Moon

I'd say throw Slash or DimeBag in the mix.

[Rengori]

I'd say throw Slash or DimeBag in the mix.

Dimebag Darrel isn't classic rock, and I think Slash has gotten out also with VR.

[Proxy]

classic metal? ^_^;;

[Rengori]

classic metal? ^_^;;

That'd be stuff like Sabbath or Maiden.

[blim]

Ryth, much as i love Jaco's bass playing (and im sure he would do a great job) hes not really a rock bassist, i reckon lets save him for the ultimate jazz band.

[El Bandito]

How is Keith Moon not up for drums?

It's a battle I can't win aye? lol.

You're right...but I would've felt bad if I didn't put him there.


And I feel really bad I forgot to put in Keith Moon.

[Masamunemaster]

Ryth we can use your list if you will continue to update it as we all decide on who is the best, does that sound good?

[blim]

A few more thoughts:

Vox:
Ian Gillan
Janis Joplin

Guitar:
Bernie Marsden/Mick Moody
Scott Gorham

Bass:
Andy Fraser
Paul Mcartney (i know out of genre and a prat but his melodic style would suit and as a bassist hes underated)

How are we gonna choose who gets the gig?

[Ryth]

Ryth we can use your list if you will continue to update it as we all decide on who is the best, does that sound good?

My list wouldn't logically work..there's like four people on drums. I'm just saying they'd be good representatives, I don't think many people know the people on my list well enough.


Honestly we don't have enough voted for any one person to set it up appropiately. I think we should try again with a new genre, classic rock is too damn broad.

I dont think there is anyone on your list who is obscure. And the same problem will crop upwith every genre. Its a shame you cant have a number of polls within threads i.e. poll for classic rock singer, then bass, guitar, drums etc within one thread.

If we do go to another genre can i suggest:

80's Thrash:

Drums: Dave Lombardo
Bass: Cliff Burton
Guitar: Jeff Hannemann
Guitar: Kerry King
Vocals: Glenn Benton

[Rengori]

Vocals: Glenn Benton

I disagree with Jeff and Kerry, as much as I like Slayer they suck at writing solos. Dave Mustaine or Marty Friedman would be much better choices for guitarists. (though I'd probably keep Kerry or Jeff on rhythm guitar for their awesome riffage)

[Renmiri]

What, no keyboard ?

Emerson, Lake & Palmer anyone ?

[El Bandito]

Everytime I see this thread I want to just go:

Sean Connery.

You'd be surprised how many people don't know the magic of Robert Fripp.

Well in thrash...

Drums: Dave Lombardo
Bass: Cliff Burton
Guitar: Dave Mustaine
Guitar: Kerry King or Marty Friedman
Vocals: Tom Araya or Mille Petrozza


As for synths, I suppose we should...at least for genres like progressive (which we do need to get to like now!). ELP is win by the way.

[Masamunemaster]

so can everyone agree on dave and cliff so far?

Solos suck anyway but in that case Dimebag can replace Kerry.

[Ryth]

I wouldn't pick Dimebag personally. :(
