nothing comes close to The Band Of Gypsys, Buddy Miles on drums/vocals, Billy Cox-bass and Hendrix! that live album recorded at the fillmore east NYC new years eve/day 1969/1970 is so good it still scares me. esp the versions of Message of Love and Machine Gun. pure genius and funky as ****! its the only live hendrix concert (that ive heard) where the audience is totally silent during the songs, i.e. you dont hear idiots calling out for "Play Purple Haze Man" , the crowd are just stunned at what they are watching, a man totally possessed, and a band as tight as a mosquito's asshole!

Cream or Rush or Burning Tree or, ah one of them. The Jam were pretty damned good.

I would have to say Nirvana or REM. Two very different groups but none the less very good.

They are since Bill Berry left.

Also Pixies are not a 3 piece band.

JerryHandbag

Jimi Hendrix Experience.

As for todays bands, I like Band Of Skulls

Nirvana, green day (back in the day before they were, what, a seven piece?!) Therapy?, kerbdog and throwing muses.


Btw, I would not categorise beastie boys as a three piece either. I'm sure there's a dj in there somewhere!


Edited to add: yes it's the jimi hendrix trio. I doubt anything will ever come close.

ricero

for me its between muse and green day

Hannibal

Jimi Hendrix Experience without a doubt
difference with the likes of Muse who have addittional live members so they arent a true three piece

Dudess

Babes in Toyland sprang to my mind immediately.

Shield

The Police*















*yes, I realise the irony

Nailz

John Zorn's Moonchild, of course not including John Zorn himself, who's the composer.
Morbid Angel were awesome when they were a three-piece.
Fun Lovin' Criminals, love their stuff.
Tomahawk are currently a three-piece.
Primus, of course!
Immortal.
Taste (Rory Gallagher's first record releasing band, for those who don't know)
The Beastie Boys too.

+ 1 for Rush.

I'd also nominate the original three-piece Elton John Band, with Elton on piano, Dee Murray on bass and Nigel Olsson on drums, as best heard on the live album 17-11-70.

Poor Craythur

Ash.

I know they became a four-piece, but they were at their best as a three-piece.

wandatowell

Early Rory Gallagher band perhaps? Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double trouble?? Jimi Hendrix???

How about Motorhead, they are a three piece if memory serves

newspower

Has to be Taste, Hendrix Experience and Cream - in that order. Rory Gallagher and Taste has be top of the list.:)

Cole

A lot of three-piece bands with great guitarists mentioned here, so it's only appropriate to add another great to the list, Jeff Healey.

Here he is with his band.

rcaz

The Flaming Lips

Alright when they play shows there's five of them, and I think Kliph's been a 'proper' member since Embryonic, but when they made Zaireeka, The Soft Bulletin and Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots, it was just Wayne, Steven and Michael.

RayCon

Rush.
