    Piano and Vocals: Elton John
    Drums: Max Weinberg (E Street Band)
    Lead Guitar: Stevie Ray Vaughan (Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble)
    Rhythm Guitar: Rick Parfitt (Status Quo, although I dunno if his style would suit this band)
    Bass: Paul McCartney (The Beatles)

    Steven Drozd on drums/keyboards/vocals/strings
    Jonny Greenwood on guitar/keyboards/synthesisers/strings
    Richard D. James on laptops
    Aaron Funk on laptops
    Nels Cline on guitar
    Ronald Jones on guitar
    Greg Saunier on drums

    Can't decide on a singer/frontman type... My immediate thoughts were Thom Yorke or Wayne Coyne, but then I might as well just have Radiohead or The Flaming Lips. Craig Finn of The Hold Steady? But I wouldn't like his kind of singing with those kinds of musicians at all...

    Maybe Richard and Aaron could manipulate samples for vocals? :cool:

    Seeing as it's limited to 5 people, mine would be:


    Vocals: Mike McColgan
    Bass: Johnny Rioux
    Guitar: Tobe Bean
    Guitar: Marcus Hollar
    Drums: Paul Rucker


    I'd probably call them Street Dogs or something like that...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,348 ✭✭✭✭ricero


    Eh? :confused:

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 10,259 ✭✭✭✭Melion


    Drums: Reni
    Bass: Mani
    Lead Guitar: John Squire
    Vocals: Ian Brown

    Singer: Layne Staley (goes without saying)
    Lead Guitar: Slash (not a virtuoso but he looks seriously ****ing cool while
    doing it)
    Rhythm Guitar: James Hetfield (has the ability to play lead guitar for those
    harmonised riffs/solos and would make a mean backup singer)
    Bass: Flea ( I likes me a bit of funk )
    Drums: Travis Smith ( Walking metronome )

    I think they would gel well together. James might be a bit pissed at being downgraded to backing singer, especially to Layne Staley. But if they got over their differences it would be excellent. Hetfield would be the songwriter as well.
