[CAFC TED]

After Ponders and Typical both think it's a good idea, I'll start a thread on fantasy bands, not hard, just pick your ultimate band, they can be dead, alive, dead looking (Keith Richards) just yeah, who would you have?

Freddie Mercury - Front Man,
Keith Moon - Drums
Jimi Hendrix - Guitar
Cliff Burton - Bassist

Yeah that's a dead band for ya all to start with

[Captain Blackaddick]

I don't know about the others, but for me Johnny Marr has to be in any fantasy band

 

[Ponders Revisited]

I don't know about the others, but for me Johnny Marr has to be in any fantasy band

I was going to have Marr on lead, but I plumped for Buckingham in the end. I feel bad for leaving Morrissey out, but he wouldn't suit the style.

Rob Thomas - Vocals
Lindsey Buckingham - Lead G
Ronnie Wood - Bass
Izzy Stradlin - R. Guitar
Manzarek - Keyboard
Bonzo Bonham - Drums

I would have Artie Fufkin as promotions manager.

 

[Butterfield]

Josh Davis, Robert Del Naja, Grant Marshall, Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons.

Vocals - Chuck D and Florence Welch.

 

[SuperChrissyisfantasticPardswasatrocious]

Thought you gave Sinitta an honourable mention for a moment Super...

 

[SuperChrissyisfantasticPardswasatrocious]

I meant to..

I was also close to giving Andy Reid a mention on guitar.

Okey doke, thought for a while about this

Vocals: Karin Dreijer Andersson
Vocals: Julie Budet
Guitar: Johnny Marr
Keyboard: Tanguy Destable
Drums: Matt Helders

Not a clue what they'd sound like, but I bet the remixes would be good.

They're all alive too, so a possibility... now to get their phone numbers

 

[Butterfield]

Super - thought i'd do a super band involving Barker and Flea, but thought meshing together DJ Shadow, The Chemical Brothers and Massive Attack into one would be better

Travis Barker and DJ A.M were a pretty formidable team for the genre. Think TB is one of the most underrated drummers in music.
