I don't know how many times this question has been ask but I'm going ask it again whether you like or not.

Who would you pick to be in your ideal musical grou?Rock, jazz, punk, doesn't really matter what.

I'd go with...
Freddy Mercury-Lead Vocals
Jimi Hendrix-Guitar
Eddie Van Halen-Guitar
Angus Young-Guitar
Flea-Bass
John Bonham-Drums

Amazing guitar harmonies backed with equally amazing bass lines from Flea and drum fills from Bonham, not to mention Freddy Mercury's voice. I'd have a musical orgasm.

For only alive people I'd replace Freddy with Steven Tyler, Jimi with Jimmy Page, and Bonham with Neil Pert.

Bass: KoRn's bassist (don;t know name) - awesome slap-bass player, loads of energy
Drums: Ginger Baker (Cream) - amazing fluid drum sound...
Vocals: too hard. too many styles. Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)?? Jack Bruce (Cream)?

Hmm...

Jónsi Birgisson - Vocals, Guitar (the guy from Sigur Rós)
Robert Smith -Guitar, maybe some vocals too.
Kjartan Sveinsson - Keyboards (also from Sigur Rós)
D'arcy - Bass (You know, D'arcy from the Smashing Pumpkins)
Conrad Keely - Drums (The guy from ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead. Have you heard "Mistakes & Regrets"? That has awesome drumming)

That would end up sounding interesting.

EDIT:
Jarboe would have been cool for vocals maybe. You know, from Swans, Jarboe+Neurosis? Released that album "Anhedoniac"?

Any Swans fans about here?

*Kicks Rovhaugane in the balls*

I should have said "Two guitarists with radically different styles" but the sarcasm was unnecessary and warranted that.

*Kicks Rovhaugane in the balls once more for good measure*

Offended? Nahhhh....

I couldn't be offended by a New Zealander. It's just too easy to fire back sheep and cricket related insults. Hehe :D

Yeah, but the difference is, we eat and harvest wool from ours. :D

(not that I care about cricket much, myself...despite the ninja-death-spin-bowling course that all Aussies are made to undertake from birth)

I'm kidding. Every New Zealander i've met has been cool. :p
