Dunny the Blue Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Not really sure bout the rest of the band but for the front man Ian Curtis!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 (edited) Hmmm...firstly I have to concur with the Prisoner on Hiseman/drums. Anyone who disagrees has never heard him play, no question. Then... Lead guitar-Carlos Santana 2nd guitar-Muddy Waters Bass-Andy Fraser Sax-John Coltrane Keyboards-Steve Winwood Violin-Eddie Jobson Guitarists on the subs bench... Richard Thompson Nils Lofgren Eric Clapton ...still wondering about vocals..maybe Jon Anderson but I'm not totally convinced.

thebluenose Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 thats an interesting lineup. but its a bit conflicting i reckon. i mean phil collins and clapton go together well. but i dont think hendrix will fit in with louis armstrong or clapton.

thebluenose Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 afraid im gonna disagree with you there. i cant see how getting drugged up to the eyeballs to the point where you cant even produce the basic notes let alone a solo which is what hendrix did. how can he play in his own band let alone any other.

jamiemaher85 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 my dream bands would be as follows. a good indie/ rock band Lead Singer/ :- Paul Rogers Lead Guitar/ Backing Vocals- Noel Gallagher Bass:-Bruce Foxton Drums:- Keith Moon (can't believe no-one else has chosen him) or chilled out (with a three way voal thing going on) Lead Vocals/ Piano- Joni Mitchell Lead Vocals- John Martyn Lead Guitar/ Backing Vocals- Neil Young Bass-Steve Winwood Flute- Jethro Tull Drums- John Densmore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 If I'm going to be honest, I've never heard of most of those. In fact not heard of most of the suggestions in this topic LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 the people from my selection are : bredon flowers - lead singwe in the killers matt bellemy - lead singer and guitarist in muse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 (edited) or chilled out (with a three way voal thing going on) Lead Vocals/ Piano- Joni Mitchell Lead Vocals- John Martyn Lead Guitar/ Backing Vocals- Neil Young Bass-Steve Winwood Flute- Jethro Tull Drums- John Densmore Would pay serious money to see that band Jamie. Neil Young is a great guitar player, an often overlooked fact. John Martyn has a unique and brilliant voice....seen him many, many times stretching back thirty or more years (can't understand how he's still alive though to be honest...last I saw some years ago he was about to have a leg amputated and was bloated to fuck). Have a photo a mate of mine took in about '79...good memories. Hey TB...there's no shame in being young !

Hey TB...there's no shame in being young ! i watched him a few weeks ago, he was performing thw whole of "Solid Air", he was still brilliant, though it was sad to see him come on stage in a wheelchair.

MikeO Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 (edited) Flute- Jethro Tull (solo artist, though his band performed under his name) Common misconception that...the lead singer and flautist in Jethro Tull is in fact Ian Anderson. Jethro Tull (after who they named themselves) was an agriculturalist born in 1674 who was most famous for inventing the Seed Drill.
