The problem as I see it is that Joe would always be missing his cues, what with being, uhh dead and all.

Yeah, I didn't know we could use dead people!

lol yeah but this is an imaginary band...plus Joe Strummer is immortal everyone knows that lol

Oh well in that case...

Joey Ramone (vocals)

Johnny Ramone (guitar)

Dee Dee Ramone (bass)

Keith Moon (Drums)

Synths? We don't need no stinkin' synths!

Synths? We don't need no stinkin' synths!
Of course we do, and lots of 'em (although I may consider having Manzarek on piano if that is the option)!

Oh well in that case...

Joey Ramone (vocals)

Johnny Ramone (guitar)

Dee Dee Ramone (bass)

Keith Moon (Drums)

Great, we'll call them the Ramoons.

Drums: keith moon
Bass: Flea
Lead Guitar: Jimmy page or eric clapton
rhythm guitar: me or daron malakion
vocals: tim armstrong

Take That. And New Kids on the Block.

Vocals by Freddy Mercury
Guitars by Joe Satriani
(upright) Bass by Jesse Flack (of Jim's Big Ego)
keyboards by Chick Corea (of Return to Forever)
Bass by les Claypool
Drums by Brain

Vocals: G G Allen

Okay, so he's technically dead, but christ, just think of the misadventure.

Guitar: Varg Vikernes

A crazy, murdering, pagan racist? Theres bound to be all kinds of hilariousness afoot with Varg running about.

Rythm Guitar: Charles Manson

A crazy, murdering, hippie racist? I hope Charlie can still play.

Bass: Nick Oliveri

Would definately add to the bad craziness needed for the model rockband. Got kicked out of the Dwarves for being too intense. The Dwarves.

Drums: Phil Collins

Would probably die a swift death if forced to associate with these loons, doing the world a great service.

As you can see, I picked most of my guys more so that I could be entertained by all the brain-dead, pyscopathic stuff they'd get involved in. We need someone to top Motley Crue, and I think these freaks could pull it off.

Vocals: Ronnie James Dio (Black Sabbath, Dio).
Guitars: Slash (Velvet Revolver, Guns n' Roses).
R. Guitar: Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath) (I don't care if he was lead guitar).
Bass: Lemmy (Motorhead).
Drums: Riggs (White Zombie).

i heard motley crew ordered a pizza by inserting the talkin-end of the phone into a groupie's vagina. That may be just a legend but it wouldn't suprise me if it was true

Oh well in that case...

Keith Moon (Drums)


Keith Ramone, surely? Why break 30 years of tradition now?

Jesus, no one mentioned Dave Grohl on drums? He is definitely the best going today!

As long as we can use dead people also:

Vocalist: Robert Plant
Rhythm: Marc Bolan (T-Rex) He writes the songs, Plant just sings 'em
Lead: Jimi Hendrix, his lead over Bolan's rhythm would be amazing
Bassist: Take your pick, with Bolan there wouldn't need to be a good one.
Drums: John Bonham/Dave Grohl Bonham for shows, Grohl for recording

Now have Rick Rubin help Bolan produce this and you have the greatest album ever.

R. Guitar: Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath) (I don't care if he was lead guitar).



He was bass.....

Hey, you could just go for Hendrix (b+g), Bonham (d) and Bonn Scott (v). You could call them the Vomitsuckers.

Ok, here goes:

Vocals: Robert Plant
Guitar: Hendrix
Drums: Neil Peart
Bass: Victor Wooten

I doubt they could play together well, but who knows.

The grin on my face belies my horror at such a comment.

God you sick. :p

Best rock band......

Base:pavement :sniper:
Top layer:gravel :sniper:

Vocals: Robert Plant
Guitar: Hendrix
Drums: Neil Peart
Bass: Victor Wooten

Wooten is a terrific choice even though he wouldn't fit with those guys.

How about this band:

Vocals: Beck
Rhythm: John Frusciante
Lead: Jeff Beck
Bass: Victor Wooten
Drums: Benjamin Weikel (Modest Mouse)

These guys could make some pretty groovy shit over Wooten's bass and Beck's samples and psych lyrics.

Vocals: Ronnie James Dio (Black Sabbath, Dio).
Guitars: Slash (Velvet Revolver, Guns n' Roses).
R. Guitar: Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath) (I don't care if he was lead guitar).
Bass: Lemmy (Motorhead).
Drums: Riggs (White Zombie).
Geezer was actually bass. Tony Iomi (sp?) was lead guitar.

The grin on my face belies my horror at such a comment.

God you sick. :p

I was actually working on a suicide band, but couldn't find a drummer that enough people would recognise...

On reflection, though, the Hendrix/Bonham/Scott combo would fucking rock.

Indeed it would.

pfff!
I can't imagine Lemmy and Cobain playing together with Damon Albarn... but I love the 3 bands (motorhead, nirvana and blur). There is no such thing as an "ultimate rock band"!

Albarn and Cobain were about as self-important as any musicians of the 90's. They would clash mercilessly. Lemmy would hate them both.

Guitar - David Gilmour
Bass - Roger Waters
Drums - Nick Mason
Keyboards, synth n stuff - Richard Wright

...Why change the perfect formula? :rolleyes:

ah but what do u guys think of the rock-star lifestyle...the sex, drugs, fame, big cars, big houses. I mean look at the ammount of rock legends who've died simply because they've snorted too much coke. So what would you do with the rock-star lifestyle, would you use your power for good.. or would you collapse in on yourself in a cloud of cocain and boobs?

cocaine and boobs.

Tough choice...

I think I'd use it for the greater good, but that doesn't restrict me from plenty of male strippers.

Cocaine and boobs for sure. Why else be a rockstar?

Now my superpowers, those I use for good. (the cocaine and boobs is just a fringe benefit.

true but would you really like to end up like ozzy. Sure he's a rock legend but the guy can barely string a sentence together. I think that if you do too much drugs then your bits will stop working and then you won't be able to have sex. i mean that must really suck

Sure he's a rock legend but the guy can barely string a sentence together.

Bad example: he has always been that way.

He has not! If you compare his speech when he was singing War Pigs to when he was singing Gets Me through you'll hear the difference. In war pigs his voice is so clear but on his newer solo stuff like Gets me Through he sounds all muffled and out of tune. It's definitely the drugs that did it. i'm not against soft drugs, i take a few my self occasionally but i could never touch cocain, heroin or any other hard drug

Fuck you guys

Lead Singer: Freddy Mercury
Lead Guitar: Eddie Van Halen
Rythm Guitar/back up vocals: Kurt Cobain
Bass Guitar: Flea
Drums: John Bonham

Thats a whole lotta song writing potential. But I don't think Kurt would get along with the rest of the band, he being too punk and the other's being too mainstream.

I'll allow that his singing voice may have suffered over the years, but his speaking voice remains much the same mumbled troglyditic brummie drawl that it always was.

Kay guys here it is
Vocals: Bono (U2)
Lead Guitar: Jeff Beck
Rhythm Guitar: Keith Richards (The Rolling Stones)
Bass: Geddy Lee (Rush)
Drums: Keith Moon (The Who) or Neil Peart (Rush), Charlie Watts is great too (The Rolling Stones)

That would be the greatest
