Vocals: Jim Morrison (The Doors) Guitar: Jimi Hendrix Bass: Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) Drums: Neil Pert (Rush) There are so many awesome guitar players, bass players, drummers, and vocalists. Put together your ulitmate band.
Zack De la Rocha: vocals Tom Morello: Guitar Tim Commerford: Bass Brad Wilk: Drums Rage Against the Machine. The best 4 man band ever. However, being a guitar player myself I prefer 4 man bands with 2 guitarists like, you know, those guys....Metallica.
Aside from the Beatles, I'd go with the following: Vocals: Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, or Van Morrison. Guitar: Vernon Reed. Drums: Manu Cache. Bass: Yeah, probably Flea...Alan King was wild for a bass/vocalist, which is no easy gig...many of the best bass players are in studio bands, especially back in the 60's R&B/70's funk era...
Vocals: Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) - Truly no one else like him Guitar: Jimi Hendrix (Jimi Hendrix Experience) - Did things with the guitar that had never been done before Guitar: Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) - Came up with more good beats than any other in my opinion Drums:John Bonham (Led Zeppelin) or the drummer from Green Day - Both guys are just amazing
I can't believe someone would include John Deacon in their list, especially with JBJ and EVH but I am a Queen fanatic. I am not even gay and I just find find them to be the most technically great band ever, their studio work was what mozart was to the harpsichord. Anyway my honest fab four would be: Freddie Mercury - Vocals, Piano Robert Smith - Guitar, Vocals Paul McCartney - Bass, Vocals John Lennon - Guitar, Vocals **** it we'll find a drum machine.
Damn, that was good! I'll do a couple because the music varies so much. Some ended up with five. Jazz (Acoustic) Drums: Elvin Jones Bass: Ron Carter Piano: McCoy Tyner Sax: Charlie Parker Jazz (Electric) Drums: Steve Gadd Bass: Jaco Pastorius Guitar: Al Di Meola Piano/Keys: Chic Corea Funk Drums: Dennis Chambers (P Funk) Bass: Larry Graham (Sly & the Family Stone) Guitar: Jimmy Nolen (James Brown) B3: Chester Thompson (Tower of Power) Pop Drums: Manu Katche (Sting) Bass: Pino Palladino (session player) Guitar: Steve Lukather (Toto, session player) Vocals: Sting R&B Drums: "Pistol" Allen (Motown) Bass: James Jamerson (Motown) Guitar: Steve Cropper (Atlantic R&B) Vocals: Marvin Gaye Rock Drums: Steve Jordan (session, original David Letterman drummer, Keith Richards) Bass: Jack Bruce (Cream) Guitar: Eddie Van Halen Guitar (2): Eric Clapton Vocals: Bruce Springsteen Hard Rock Drums: Mike Portnoy (Dream Theatre) Bass: Billy Sheehan Guitar: Steve Vai Guitar (2): Joe Satriani Vocal: Rob Halford Overall/General Drums: Vinnie Cohalita (session, Zappa, Sting) Bass: Victor Wooten (solo, Bela Fleck & the Flecktones) Guitar: Eric Johnson Vocal: kd lang
Man, I could write a novel on this because of all the different styles of music we're looking at. This will probably change when I sober up, but here goes... Rock: Singer/songwriter-Billy Corgan(more for songwriting than vocal ability) Guitar-Randy Rhodes Bass-Getty Lee Drums-Jimmy Chamberlain Pop: Singer-Sting (circa 1977-1983, NOT AFTER) Guitar-Andy Summers Bass-Mark King (Level 42) Drums-Carter Beauford Fusion: Keys-Chick Corea Bass-Jaco Pastorius (RIP) Guitar-Frank Gambale Drums-Dave Weckl (ie. God)
I know the Beatles are king, but my ultimate 4-man band is... Sort of like "Wilt's the best but my favorite player is Olajuwon."
The Hong Kong best band "Beyond" period. Americans and most of the country in the Western country never heard of this band call Beyond, but, let me tell you what, more than 1 billion peoples growing up listen to this band, that's something no band and no one has ever accomplish, even in a foreign language you can't understand, by just listen to their guitar sound and the voice of the singer, you will believe why people who knows Chinese think the Beatle are not their favorite. Again, there's so many words in the oxford dictionary, but it's not enough to describe Beyond.
drummer2k.... that would be Geddy Lee.....great choice rock: bass--Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy) guitar--Rik Emmett (Triumph) guitar2--Tommy Skeoch (Tesla) drums--Steve Smith (Journey and many other projects) vox--Jack Blades (Night Ranger, Damn Yankees) heavy metal: bass--Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) guitar--Randy Rhoads RIP (Ozzy) guitar2--Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) drums--Carmine Appice vox--Rob Halford (Judas Priest,Fight, Halford) or Sebastian Bach (Skid Row) progressive Metal: bass--Geddy Lee (Rush) guitar--John Petrucci (Dream Theater) guitar2--Frank Aresti (Fates Warning) drums--Neil Peart (Rush) vox--Geoff Tate (Queensryche) I was trying to not have 2 members from the same band...but ended up with Rush's rythym section anyway....maybe I could substitute Steve "Doc" Wacholz from Savatage instead of Peart...but anyway...
the beatles first of course after that, hmm, i don't know how good these guys would sound together but they're who i like individually: singer - layne staley - RIP, the man could sing. guitarist - eddie van halen - tough choice over slash and jimmy page. bass - paul mcartney - maybe my second favorite voice so i slotted him here. not exactly a slouch on bass anyways and just that little riff he does on "something" works for me. drums - john bonham - that's it, end of list. by far my favorite.
Rock/Pop Vocals, Guitar (Rhythm): Robert Smith Guitar (Lead): Johnny Marr (Smiths) Bass: Peter Hook (Joy Division, New Order) Drums: Jimmy Chamberlain (Smashing Pumpkins, Zwan) Keyboards: Martin Gore (Depeche Mode) That would be a kick-ass band right there! Heavy Metal Vocals: Rob Halford Guitar (Lead): Dimebag Darrell Guitar (Rhythm): James Hetfield Bass: Geezer Butler Drums: Okay I am going to cheat here and place Neal Peart but if forced to go with a heavy metal guy, I'll take the guy from Iron Maiden, Doug Sampson (for no particular reason) Cool Jazz Trumpet: Clifford Brown Tenor Saxophone: John Coltrane Bass: Paul Chambers Piano: Horace Silver Drums: Art Blakey Electric Jazz Trumpet: Miles Davis Bass: Jaco Pastorius Piano, Keyboards: Herbie Hancock Guitar: John McLaughlin Drums: Peter Erskine Part of Weather Report + Part of one of Miles' greatest quintets = unbelievable jazz band!
Vocals: Zach de la Rocha. Guitar: Jimmy Page Bass: Flea (red hot chilli's) Drums: Travis Parker (blink 182...though i hate them, he's really good).
