Glen Danzig [misfits] - vocals Johnny Thunders [new york dolls, heartbreakers] - guitar/vocals Richard Hell [television, voidoids] - Bass/vocals Johnny Blitz [the damned] - Drums
Guitarist and Vocals - Stevie Ray Vaughn A two way superstar Drummer - Kieth Moon Played and lived with wild abandon Bass - Duck Dunn You could pretty much pick a 'best band' just from the Stax Records' session players but I'll just pick this one as their representative. Hammond B-3, Piano, Vocals - Gregg Allman Living the authentic blues/ rock life. Honorable mention: Carlos Santana, Jimmy Page, The Rythmn Section from Little Feat, Stevie Winwood , Eric Clapton, Paul Rogers ( probably my fav vocalist you know him best from Bad Company) Lou Grahmn (Free) Bruce Hornsby on Piano, Jack Bruce (the bass player behind Hendrix)
The only thing that would be "ultimate" about alot of these groups would be the fighting over who gets to solo/write the songs/be the loudest. The whole "too many players, not enough touches" doesn't just apply to basketball players. But anyways, here's my choices for the ultimate instrumental jazzy/ambient rock band Guitar - Kevin Shields Bass - Aston "Family Man" Barrett Keys - Brian Eno (I don't know how good a player he is, but he's a great writer) Drums - Jack DeJohnette The ultimate jazz-rock band Guitar - Jimi Hendrix Keys - Herbie Hancock Bass - Bootsy Collins (not a jazz player, but I like him better than Jaco) Drums - Billy Cobham or Tony Williams The ultimate 'weak-ass players" band Guitar - Alex Lifeson Bass - Micheal Anthony Keys - the guy from Duran Duran Drums - Larry Mullin Jr
Great call with Richard Hell and Johnny Thunders. As for the Damned Drummer, I alwasy thought his name was Rat Scabies. If Johnny Blitz is Rat's real name I wonder why get rid of a name like Blitz!? Though I would say that Rat Scabies has always been one of my favorite names ever. Anyway Just a question about the Damned.
you know who is a very underrated guitar player? Phil Collin of Def Leppard... still Johnny Thunders is the man. He may not have all the licks but who does...
I like your picks, but no Marcus Miller or Rocco Prestia (Tower of Power)? My dream band: Jazz Art Blakey-drums Scott LaFaro-bass Bill Evans-piano John Coltrane-sax Too many honorable mentions but here goes- Art Pepper (sax), Wes Montgomery (guitar), Jimmy Smith (keyboards), Reginald Workman (bass), Philly Joe Jones (drums), McCoy Tyner (piano), Red Garland (piano) Funk Zigaboo Modeliste (the Meters, best band ever)-drums Jaco Pastorious- Bass Isaac Hayes- B3 organ/vocals Steve "the Colonel" Cropper- (Stax studio guy, the Blues Bros.) guitar Rock Carter Beauford (DMB)-drums Mike Gordon (Phish)-bass Ian Moore (Ian Moore Band)-Guitar Mike Farris (Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies)-Vocals/harmonica Honorable mention- John Popper (Blues Traveler), Stevie Ray Vaughn, Trey Anastasio (Phish)
Dave Matthews-Lead Vocals, Guitar Stefan Lessard-Bass Leroi Tinsley (amazing creature who has four arms with which he plays both the violin and the saxaphone) CARTER BEAUFORD ON THE DRUMS!! CARTER BEAUFORD ON THE DRUMS!!
Vocals - Bono or Bradley Nowell (U2 or Sublime respectively) Guitar - Trey Anastasio (Phish) Bass - Rob Derhak (moe.) Drums - Billy Martin (Medeski, Martin and Wood)
