Choose as many members as you like dead or alive who would be in your Super Group?
Mine:
Freddie Mercury - Vocals
Cozy Powell - Drums
Mark King - Bass Guitar
Steve Vai - Lead Guitar (I so much wanted to chose Brian ;-)
Richard Wright - Keyboards
Pretty difficult that Arky. A group to play 'a specific genre' or anything goes?
I'll have a go with
Bass (& vocals): Jack Bruce
Drummer: Frank Beard (ZZ Top)
Guitars: George Harrison & Slash
Keyboards (& vocals): Brian Wilson
237SJ, That'd also be an awesome group as the above ones would be.
I thought about dear old George for my alternative group but thinking of a female vocalist, I have a few in mind.
Arksided - loads would have said Adele a couple of years ago, but she’s become less popular lately, even with the fab voice lol - all down to personality. What about, ummm, Sinead O’Connor??
My alternative band, as above likely to change within seconds.
Ann Wilson (Heart) - Vocals
Neil Pert (Rush) - Drums
Yngwie J. Malmsteen - Lead Guitar
Roger Hodgson (Supertramp) - Keyboards
John Richard Deacon - (Queen) Bass Guitar
I'm pleased that I seem to have started people thinking about female vocalists ;-)
Animal, from the Muppets, is allegedly based upon Keith Moon, so I obviously considered him as my choice of drummer, Arky, but eventually I was torn between Ginger Baker and Gilson Lavis, with the latter just edging ahead in my opinion.
Check out Gilson Lavis's fantastic drumming here. There's none of the showiness of Moon, Baker, etc. He simply sits there in his collar and tie as if he's doing a mundane office job but really powers the music along.
