Who would you pick for your fantasy rock band?

Neil Pert on drums
Cliff Burton on bass
Eddie Van Halen on guitar
Slash on guitar
Me on vocals

Drums: John Bonham
Bass: Victor Wooten
Keys: John Medeski
Guitar: Trey Anastasio
Vocals: Kermit the Frog (with long 80s glam hair)

Drums- Travis Barker from Blink 182
Bass- Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers
Rhythm guitar- Randy (that would be me)
Lead guitar- Bucketthead from his own band, or later Guns and Roses.
Vocals- Ben Nichols from Lucero

It would be an a capella rock group with Freddie Mercury, Brad Delp, Dennis DeYoung and Steve Walsh….epic….

Guitar: Jimi Hendrix
Bass: Bootsy Colins
Drums: Max Roach
Piano: Oscar Peterson
Vocals: “Ladybug” (from the Digable Planets)

Of course, ask me again in a couple hours and this list will likely be completely different.

There is no reason to put forth any effort in composing a fantasy rock band because we actually had the greatest in the Beatles, the most creative, innovative and influential rock band of all time. Sure there may be better guitar players (I’m partial to Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn), bass players (flea gets my vote) and many better drummers (Jeff Porcaro leads my list) but collectively there were and are none better than The Beatles. And as vocalists and songwriters, no one is even in the same league as Lennon-McCartney.

Drums- Louis Bellson
Lead Guitar- Herman Li
Rhythm Guitar- Malcolm Young
Vocals- John Fogerty

Drummer from Sonic Youth
Lead Guitar-Page Hamilton
Guitar from QOTSA- Josh H.
The bass player from Critters Buggin
The key player from Delta 72
The singer from Eagles of Death Metal

hmmm…

Drums/Vocals: Aaron Gillespie (Underoath/The Almost)
Vocals/Guitar: Jesse Lacey (Brand New)
Guitar/Vocals: Tom Delonge (Blink 182/Angels & Airwaves)
Piano/Vocals: Matt Thiessen (Relient K)
Bass: Kalel (Pillar)

Drums: Mike Porntoy (Dream Theater)
Guitar: David Gilmour (Pink Floyd)
Vocals: Neal Morse (Spock’s Beard)
Bass: Christopher Wolstenholme (Muse)
Keyboard: Richard Barbieri (Porcupine Tree)

I think that would make a pretty good prog band.

Lead Singers- Jason Mraz/ Jacob Hoggard of Hedley/ Martin Johnson of Boys Like Girls/ Enrique Iglesias (it depends on the song)
Drummer- Travis Barker of Blink 182
Lead Guitar- Jimi Hendrix
Backup Guitar- Buckethead of Guns N Roses
