Make a band of dead musicians

a reply to: Bluntone22

The line up would have to include Brian Jones, purely for his ability to play 28 different instruments, and play them all well.

Probably also include Mike Pinder, the greatest Mellotron player.

BB King as the centre piece of an old timey thing...
I'd take Alexis Corner too

Damn someone nailed it earlier..Could you imagine Hendrix and Prince on guitar in a band..mind blown.

Brad Delp would be my singer.

But I would just like to hear Stevie Ray Vaughn jam live one more time.

Vinne Paul: Drums
Dimebag: Guitar
Cliff Burton: Lead bass
Lemmy: Bass and vocals

Not a standard set up, but I love me some crazy, crunchy, low down, dirty, bass heavy rock and metal. Vinnie would lay down some rock steady, powerful beat, Lemmy would synch into it, along with Burton. Dime would burst through with some sonic devastation, and during the solo he and Burton would play back and forth, soloing highs and lows, and gelling up into improbable harmonies, before allowing the thing to settle. The chorus and verses otherwise would be laden with Lemmy's usual guttural delivery, with band shouts thrown in for laughs.

Typical 4 piece band.

Drums- Bonham
Guitar- Stevie Ray
Keyboard/singer- Freddie(Duh)
Bass- Lemmy (Hell ya)

Vinnie Paul - Drums
Cliff Burton - Bass
Dimebag - Guitar
Layne Staley - Vocals.

For vocal I'd pick Freddie Mercury, a bass guitarist is Cliff Burton, a solo guitarist is Jimi Hendrix, and a drummer (I don't know a lot of them :c ) I think Vinnie Paul. Oh, and also I would add Dolores O'Riordan as back vocal or sometimes leading. I wanted to be like one of those. They are great. I learn now playing guitar. I bought Yamaha musiety.com/yamaha-cgs102a-review-half-size-full-value/. I think it's a good start for beginners. Maybe one day I'll be as skillful as they.
