[charlie and algernon]

my mouse wondered and i hit post way too soon

[charlie and algernon]

3. I changed it, to go really out there, added Buddy Rich

[ghostsofgiants]

29. Good call on Buddy Rich.

[mitchum]

4. John Coltrane on tenor and soprano sax...

McCoy Tyner on piano
Elvin Jones on bass
Steve Davis on bass

Oh...wait a minute...

[YDogg]

7. Your post reminded me of Wendy O. Williams, strangely.

[TZ]

8. bwahaha!

I want to see Geddy Lee play the bass, sing and do the keyboards at the SAME TIME.How awesome would that be..Maybe I can go clone him in my lab.....:P
As for temeah...yeah good choice but you'd have to pay him with lots of pink grapefruits and oranges....:evilgrin:

[mitchum]

11. I friend of mine once said that Geddy Lee does everything at a Rush concert...

with the exception of selling weed in the parking lot

[charlie and algernon]

23. he basically DOES do that

On my brother's DVD he played the Bass, keyboard and sung at the same time.

[jmowreader]

31. Just get a copy of "Rush in Rio" or "R30"

He plays open strings on the bass with his right hand and lower-register notes on the keyboards with his left hand. While he sings.

And as for temeah...I don't think you can do Rush in Dobly.

[guitar man]

9. here's my picks

Lowell George-Guitar and Vocal

Bill Payne-Keyboards

Richie Hayward-Drums

Sam Clayton-Percussion

Paul Barrere-Guitar

Kenny Gradney-Bass

nuff said :evilgrin:

[Elidor]

19. Woot!

:thumbsup:

Gotta go pop on Waiting for Columbus...

[guitar man]

32. I agree

I don't think you could build a better lineup than that if you tried...that whole album was a magic moment in time :thumbsup:

[grannylib]

25. I was waffling between my pick and Bill Payne on keyboards...

Little Feat fuckin' rock.
Never have seen them live...
Wonder if Austin City Limits concerts are available on DVD -

[guitar man]

33. :)

:hi:

I'm going to see if those DVDs are available, I'd love to have them too.

[grannylib]

35. The Little Feat and Stevie Ray Vaughn appearances are the two

I'd just love to have...
And I'd REALLY love to find a copy of the Crowded House concert on the beach, spring break, MTV, circa 1994 or so...damn. Neil Finn is a flippin' genius.

[XNASA]

10. Gee. That's a tough one. I'll go with....

Bill MacCormick and Busta Jones - Bass
Andy Mackay - Keyboards and Sax
Paul Thompson - Percussion
Chris Spedding and Lloyd Watson - Guitars

and Brian Eno - Guitar, Keyboards, Treatments, Vocals

[mitchum]

12. Isn't that pretty much the line up on "Here Come The Warm Jets"?

If so, you'll get no argument from me

[XNASA]

27. Indeed it is.

Indeed it is.

[Alexander]

13. It almost happened in 1970. The band was going to be called "HELP".

Guitar/Vocals - Jimi Hendrix
Keyboards - Keith Emerson
Bass/Vocals - Greg Lake
Drums - Carl Palmer

Hendrix was supposed to jam with ELP right after the Isle of Wight concert, but he died, which put an end to those plans.

The band was to be called Hendrix, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, or "HELP". I am not kidding.

[flvegan]

14. Let me see...

Vocals Mike Patton

Lead Guitar Angus Young

Guitar Malcolm Young (why break the set)

Bass Guitar Tim Commerford

Keyboard Mark Ramos-Nishita, a/k/a Money Mark

Drums Either Matt Sorum or Brandon Barnes

DJ (turntables) Michael Schwartz a/k/a Mix Master Mike

[driver8]

18. Malcolm Young is one of the BEST rhythm guitar players in rock!

He doesn't get any credit because of his brother, but is a hell of a guitar player!

[SKKY]

15. I'm thinking this would be pretty hard to beat...

...I'm also imagining what kind of music this "Supergroup" would produce. That influences my choices a great deal...

Vocals - Ian Astbury (Freddy Mercury is dead, or he would be my choice.)
Guitar - Prince
Bass - Less Claypool (Honestly, is there anyone better?)
Keyboards - Trent Reznor
Drums - Butch Vig

[flvegan]

24. Ian Astbury was my second choice.

Hell of a vocalist.

[Broken_Hero]

16. hmmm,

guitars, rhythm/lead-Kirk Hammet, and Michael Schenker

[charlie and algernon]

26. i'd go with Bill Payne

and Bonnie Raitt as the main vocals. That group would make INCREDIBLE music

[grannylib]

28. *lol* I almost put Payne on keyboards...but I'm a bigger fan of

Cornell's voice...
I've always wondered why Clapton and Raitt have not done a duet album - would THAT be great, or what??
