What is your Super group

VampyreVampyre
edited May 2012 in Chit chat
Over the last week the PM of GB, Tony Blair has been answering text messages from all and sundry.

One that caught my eye was who would be in yur best Rock/pop group.

He copped off a bit by saying The Beatles and Clapton (good choices though they are), but how about submitting yours.

I thought the best way would be a quartet + 1, what the hell is that a HexTet?

Anyway, I belive that group should consist of:

1. Lead Vocalist.
2. Lead Guitar
3. Lead Bass Guitar
4. Drums
5. Keyboards/Percussion

For me

1. Freddie Mercury
2. Eddie Van Halen
3. Joey DeMaio
4. Phil Collins
5. Liberace

That did not come easy BTW

    I can think of a few favourites, but they have major clashes in playing styles so they would never work as a band.

    I'd have to think for a while about this one.
    Oh, no. Every time you turn up something monumental and terrible happens.
    I don’t think I have the stomach for it.

    Mine would be:

    1. Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)
    2. Joe Satriani & Dave Gilmour (2 lead guitarists!)
    3. Flea (RHCP)
    4. Mike Portnoy (Dreamtheater)
    5. Jon Lord (Deep Purple)

    Obviously, because of the mixed genre background of the members, I have no idea what the band will sound like - probably shite! :)

    Good thread :)

    Karingal - you've got some good choices there - I agree with a lot of those - especially Geddy Lee/Neil Peart/Ian Paice etc.

    I'd go for:

    Vocals: Ronnie James Dio
    Bass: Geddy Lee
    Guitar: Jimmy Page
    Drums: Ian Paice
    Keyboards: Jon Lord



    Heavier bands don't seem to go for keyboard players, so I'll choose a second guitarist ;)


    Vocals: King Diamond (Mercyful Fate)
    Bass: Cronos (Venom)
    Guitar: Piggy (Voivod)
    Guitar: Bill Steer (Napalm Death/Carcass)
    Drums: Dave Lombardo (Slayer)



    THOUGH....IGNORE ALL THAT.... THE BEST SUPERGROUP LINE UP HAS TO BE....

    Vocals: Dave Vanian
    Guitar: Captain Sensible
    Bass: Patricia Morrison
    Drums: Pinch
    Keyboards: Monty Oxymoron

    ...as I'm going to see this band tomorrow night...!! :)

    How many people would put Paul McCartney on bass?

    It's time to re-assess "Bytor and the Snow-Dog". Listening. . .Listening. . .Yup, still as sh*te as ever :-)

    I think you've proved again your music knowledge it limited.

    I think need to polish my ban-hammer...

    Yes, ban him. Do it! :)

    Anyone who doesn't rate McCartney as a bass player automatically discounts themselves as having anything approaching a valid opinion about the instrument in my book. :p

    You know, I've had the sh*ttiest day, I might have an invisible tattoo on my forehead saying "Yeah, tread on me, everyone else has" but coupled with the bottle of wine I am now imbibing I have just laughed out loud (for the first time in a long time)


    Thanks, karingal.

    :-D

    C'mon, the amount of people now (shhhhh. . .d*wnloading "Bytor and the Snow-Dog", SOMEONE is bound to like it) ;-)

    Aha, Mr Cowley joins the fray :-D

    My apologies, McCartney is indeed a legend (and a captain, and a leader. . .oooh, hang on, no, that's John Terry. . .)

    Who is in all honesty, probably a better bass player.

    WHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

    Ladies and Gentlemen, this thread has now left the building of "Sinclair Miscellanea" and now resides in "Chit-Chat" although in this instance it really should be in a sub-forum called "Let's Talk Drivel" ;-)

    I WILL regret this in the morning / when I eventually wake up.

    Well, personally I think your claims that Paul McCartney is the best England captain we've ever had won't stand up to close scrutiny. But you're the expert...

    Oh, the night is long (or too short) :lol:

    Quote from the label:

    yadda yadda yadda "meticulous viticultural practices"
    yadda yadda yadda "enviable reputation in the" yadda yadda yadda "appellation"

    "An excellent accompaniment to fish, shellfish and light salads"

    Doesn't mention how it goes down with Aldi Tortilla Chips (69p, btw, boys and girls, NO, I don't work for them) or indeed, Gold Whispas, but hell, the night is, indeed, young)

    Anyway, back on subject, picked up a cheeky little 5 year-old the other day. . .

    It's now 10.50 am.

    F*ck up at work (not my fault), now have to rectify it.

    I do NOT do mornings (especially Sunday mornings). (It's taken 7 minutes just to write this post).

    Live and learn, in the rich tapestry of life.

    Is that a Rush lyric?

    And yes, zx1, to paraphrase Richard E Grant in Withnail and I, I have had a bottle of "The finest wine known to humanity" and "I feel like a pig has just shat in my head"

    :razz:

    Rebelstar, Paul McCartney on bass?

    Seriously, though, point me to a Beatles / Wings tune that has some good bass fret frottage and I might change my mind about The Luckiest Man Alive (Tm).

    Doubt it though but you never know. :-)
