[UmphreakDomer]

i went Prince, Grohl, Bootsy, Jim Morisson, and john Mayer. $25.

 

[Rack Em]

All the members of CREED

 

[IrishSteelhead]

 

[gkIrish]

Gimme Mercury, Peart, Mccartney, Knopfler (unlisted so $1), and then whoever else I can get for a buck.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

I'll pocket the $25 and take Swans as my fantasy rock band.

 

[RyCo1983]

Can I get some Nickelback?



But seriously...No Randy Rhoads? Izzy Stradlin?

 

[ACamp1900]

Prince being double the guitarist of Clapton is beyond silly… fool’s gold there.

I’ll take:
-Mick (9),
-McCartney (2, … super value),
-Eric Clapton (4… again HUGE value),
-Carter Beauford (7, high price but I’d love the collaborative potential with Clapton and McCartney, and I have long said he is one of the best, glad to see him get a bit of recognition here.), and
-Hetfield (Mainly bc I had three dollars left, but I am into the contrast here throughout)


Honestly, that ensemble would be so cool to see…

 

[ACamp1900]

also, are they saying Mercury is the greatest front man here??

(I laughed)

 

[T Town Tommy]

Vocals: John Corabi
Lead Guitar: Harry T. Cody
R. Guitar: George Lynch
Bass: Billy Sheehan
Drums: Tommy Lee

Groupie: Kate Beckinsale

 

[JughedJones]

Funny thing is, if you picked all of the top dollar choices, you'd have one terrible mess of a band.

Plus: No Garcia? List is invalid.

 

[ACamp1900]

I'd never even heard of Victor Wooten...

 

[ACamp1900]

Vocals: John Corabi
Lead Guitar: Harry T. Cody

... who?

 

[A Pac]

(I laughed)

Mercury is the greatest front man of all time. He mixed an incredible voice with even better showmanship. He also had a style that was way before his time. The dude could put on a show without ever opening his mouth to boot (and please refrain from the "opening his mouth" comments).

I laughed harder....

 

[T Town Tommy]

... who?

Corabi fronted the band The Scream then replaced Vince Neil in Motley Crue for one album - their best by the way - and then on to form Union. Great rock voice.

Harry T Cody was lead guitarist for Shotgun Messiah. Early 90's rock band. His work on the album Second Coming is tremendous.

Yes... I grew up in the decadent 80's rock scene.

I grew up in the 80s listening to Rick Astley and Amy Grant...

so much harder than your ass... levels upon levels.

 

[Jackalope1977]

Vic Wooten is amazing. He is the bassist for Bela Fleck. Awesome.

 

[ACamp1900]

Vic Wooten is amazing. He is the bassist for Bela Fleck. Awesome.

I'm sure he is great.... who is Bela Fleck? lol

 

[Jackalope1977]

This is a fun game but as Jughead said it could be a mess. My first thought was....

Chuck Berry -2
Neil Young -5
David Bowie -5
Les Claypool -6
Keith Moon -6

That would be insane!

 

[Jackalope1977]

I'm sure he is great.... who is Bela Fleck? lol

ACamp come on, he is maybe the best banjo player alive. (Waiting for a challenge to this.)

who?

 

[Jackalope1977]

If banjo were on the list Bela Fleck would be 10 points. That said, Futureman would be a 10 on the drumitar.

 

[ACamp1900]

How about some Daryl Hance on slide??

yesir.

yesir.

You got me, no idea who he is. I enjoy me some slide guitar though, I'll check him out.

I'd be happy with a $5 band made up of all the lowest value guys from that group:

$1 jim morrison
$1 george harrison
$1 ginger baker
$1 stone gossard
$1 john paul jones


works for me, although its tough to pass on gilmour and bonham....hell, lets get em all on stage!
rock and roll baby!
feel bad for some of the youngins who never had chance to experience some of these bands live. records. albums. turntables. vinyl. liner notes.
real bands, not boy bands and one hit wonders walked and ruled the earth not too long ago.
and it was glorious...

 

[NDokie13]

Eddie Van Halen (5)
James Hetfield (3)
Geddy Lee (7)
Mike Portnoy (5)
Ozzy Osborne (4)

Not super big on ozzy, but didn't think any of the other singers jumped out as meshing super well with that group.
Just realized all the other members are known for lead or backup vocals as well. I like it.

 

[anarin]

My band isn't a jam band. We will focus on pumping out the radio tunes.

The front man will wet the panties: Freddie Mercury (he will not get in them either)

The lead guitarist will keep the music dramatic and beautiful (and will also double as the backup vocals): Eric Clapton

I don't require much from he bass, except a solid bass line and some backing vocals when needed: Paul McCartney

The drums will need to be precise and rock heavy. I'll need a drummer who plays a deeper tone and knows how to play the crowd: Dave Grohl

Finally, my rhythm guitarist doesn't play a big role in this band and I'm spending the rest of my $$$: Neil Young

$25

That is an amazing line up if you ask me.

This is an excellent thread!

I've been a drummer for 20 + years now, so this was very difficult.

I went John Bohnam on drums. One of my all time favorite drummers.
Freddie Mercury on vocals. Favorite singer. (Favorite living singer is Robin Zander.)
John Paul Johns on Bass.
Brian May on Lead Guitar.
Johnny Greenwood on Rhythm Guitar. (Would rather have Paul Stanley or Malcolm Young)
