That's right ladies and gentlemen, it's your chance to play record producer and put together your favorite collection of performers, dead or alive, to create the ultimate band. No limit on # of members, but please give us a little snippet on why you chose each person.

Here's mine (picture all of these guys in their prime at the same time, together):

On the Drums.... Neil Peart- because it's Neil Peart. He can play any style and do it better than any other drummer. He might be a little bit tight for the rest of this band, so I may have to kick him out after a few albums. ;)

On the Bass Guitar.... Flea- he is a great funk/rock bass player, but he also has an amazing sense of feel and can play the slow stuff with a ton of emotion. He was born to play bass.

On Rythym Guitar.... Izzy Stradlin- this former Guns N Roses rocker was the true soul and feel of they're early music. He has a great sense of how a guitar should fit around the bass and drums. I love his jingle-jangle style.

On Lead Guitar..... Eddie Van Halen- I would pay serious money to hear Eddie and Izzy colaborate because I think it would sound amazing. Eddie is the king, and he's never had the benefit of having a solid lead player along side him. With that type of freedom, who knows what he'd come up with.

On Vocals.... David Lee Roth- I'm a firm believer in the magic that lead guitarists and frontmen develop between each other, so I can't break up one of the best combo's in history. Diamond Dave in his prime was an outstanding showman and he'd be superb in front of this band.

This is a tough question....
Vocals.....Robert Plant
Guitars.....Jimmy Page
Bass.........John Paul Jones
Drums........John Bonham
O wait sorry this has already been done hasnt it?


Heres a few diff combinations..
Vocals
DLR......Roth in the prime was untouchable....the guys wanted to be like him and the females wanted to be with him
Robert plant.......One of a kind as a vocalist lyricist and frontman.
Guitars
EVH.....From their inception to up around 84 the guy had it in spades and no one could touch him.
Jimmy Page....Sometimes sloppy but he dealt in emotion not technique. Great player producer and no one owned the stage like page.
Bass
Geddy Lee.........tremendous player as well as a pretty good vocalist.
John Paul Jones.....the dude could do it all.....Actually probably the most musically gifted member of Zep.
Drums
Neil Peart.....Outstanding player and lyricist A+++
John Bonham.....The dudes monster drumming was the driving force behind zep. Truly irreplaceable...hammer of the gods indeed.

This band would lay down some killer blues grooves. Nice picks.

Can you imagine some of the sounds that would come out of this group? My goodness this would be interesting. However, 2 drummers on stage at the same time may be the most annoying thing in the world.

Joe isn't that heavy. Though we can make it something nasty. How about Blood Witch? :laugh2:

Lead Vocals...I am going to switch things up and take a female lead. Janis Joplin. I love that blues edge style to rock and roll and she could belt out magic.

Drums...Neil Peart. He is also a top notch song writer so that is a benefit.

Lead Guitar...Stevie Ray Vaughn. I want a blues edge after all and he also provides backup blues vocals.

Rhythm Guitar...Joe Walsh. Way under rated and had a great blues feel.

Bass...Jack Bruce. Again with the blues feel and had experience with Clapton in Cream.

Now this is one interesting Alternative band. Sending Grohl back to drums huh? Morrissey on vocals....that's a name I haven't heard in awhile. :)

This would be cool to hear. I've always wanted to hear Petrucci play with Peart. Who's Jesse Leach?

This would be one hot blues band. I can't picture Janis singing Neil's lyrics though......."Today's Tom Sawyer, he gets hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh on youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

Joe doesn't have to be heavy, he'll be flying over James' heavy rythyms. Love the name. :D Scares the crap out of me.
