I'm sure I did something similar not long ago... but can't find the list anywhere so...

Vocals: Mike Patton, Burton C. Bell, Meg Lee Chin
Guitars: Trey Spruance, Alex Lifeson, Ler
Bass: Flea, Eli Janney
Drums: Martin Atkins, Bill Reiflin
Keyboards/Electronics: Charlie Clouser, MW Gacy


Bit of Mr. Bungle/Pigface supergroup but would make a good noise.....

[TheMadBear]

Vocals: Maynard James Keenan
Guitar: Stone Gossard
Lead Guitar: Tom Morello
Bass: Sting/Flea
Drums: Dave Grohl

Recall discussing this with my brother not too long ago... Hmmm...

Certain names always seem to come up when this kind of discussion comes round. Examples thereof;

Vocals; Usually someone with a distinct singing style. Examples; Maynard James Keenan; Billy Corgan; Axl Rose; Marilyn Manson; Ozzy etc.

Lead: Always a tough choice, but some names always come up - Hendrix, Clapton, Springsteen, May, etc. You know them, you know their solos.

Bass; Flea always comes up (but then, why not?) but occasionally someone completely (or not completely) random, like Paul McCartney, John Paul Jones, Rayna Foss-Rose or John Entwistle...

Drums; Only a handful of drummers ever get recognised. Amongst these, Dave Grohl, Ringo Starr, Keith Moon and John Bonham are favourites.

Misc; Adding in a piano/keyboardist/random instrumentalist is always interesting - Ben Folds for his ability to play practically anything is one that rarely comes up; sometimes someone on decks is picked up, but it depends on your tastes I suppose.

So after that long discussion, my line-up would probably be (though I'm likely to change it at a moment's notice);

Vocals; Meenan, possibly Cobain
Guitarist; May
Bassist; Flea
Drums; Grohl

[li] When they are alone, all foreign military officers prefer to speak to each other in English.
[li] All bombs with electronic timing devices are fitted with large red readouts so you know exactly when they're going to go off.
[li] A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from duty.
[li] In a movie, no matter what window you look out in Paris, the Eiffel Tower is always right there.
[li] All beds have special L-shaped cover sheets that reach the armpit level on a woman but only to waist level on the man lying beside her.
[li] A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating, but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.
[li] You're very likely to survive any battle in any war unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.

[Prophet Tenebrae]

Maybe 13 hot, busty lesbian catgirls who did cover version of classic songs - with all their concerts ending in a big lesbian orgy. Or maybe that's just perfection.

Is Dav Ford the little dude from Easyworld? Ive met him, his girlfriends cute.
Good voice.
Jimmy from Pumpkins is a great choice, im disappointed i missed him out

[RaphX]

For vocals, I'd say Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. They both had great voices, and it's a pity we don't get to hear anything more of them nowadays.

[hr]Let it be a joke
Let it be a smile
Let it be a farce if it makes me laugh for a little while
Let it be a tear
Let it be a sigh
Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry

[polythenegirl]

yup Dav Ford is from Easyworld.

I refuse to believe that on the grounds that he must have said something like "What's on telly?" or "Can I have a chip?" or some such other entirely cliched and uncreative 'thing'.
