Guitar: Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple)

 

Keyboard: Rick Wakeman (Yes)

My idea of a pretty awesome band, and i figure there's 3 vocalists that could switch off/on, backup, or whatever. I didn't want to say "rhythm guitar" for either of the guitarists i chose because that is kind of saying that one is better than the other, which in my opinion, is not the case here. Plus, duel lead guitars sounds awesome in some songs.

[Mr_Putter]

[chicodallasman]

Lead Vocals-Tarja Turunen *points at sig and smirks*

 

Back-up Vocals- Andrea Ferro (Lacuna Coil)

 

Drummer- Tommy Lee (can't stand him but I can't think of any others...)

 

Guitarist- Kirk Hammet (Metallica)

 

Bassist- John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin)

 

 

 

Genre- Metally

 

 

 

Heh, interesting...

[Futurama]

Dragonforce, minus the synths and vocals...

 

Replaced vocals with someone like tim from rise against :)

[Nadril]

wow i was so suprised when this was bumped.

 

 

 

to Nadril: I think if Li was playing rhythm then it would be thrash? not speed.

 

 

 

to How2pk: a rhythm guitarist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhythm_guitar

 

 

 

and Nadril again: OMG? Khan are you serious? buhaha i hate that guys voice :P

 

 

 

Nah I think it probaly would still be speed.

 

 

 

As far as vocals go I generaly like the vocals in Kamelot, however, I think i'd switch it over to the vocalist in "Lost Horizon" (am too lazy to look up a specfic name now).

 

 

 

:)

[Azvareth]

Lead vocals: John Kay.

 

Rhythm/Lead guitar: Scott Gorham.

 

Backing vocals/Lead guitar: Gary Moore.

 

Bassist: Geddy Lee.

 

Drums: John Bonham.

 

 

 

Gotta love twin guitars.

[blue107]

Robert Plant-Vocals

 

Jimmy Page-Lead guitar

 

Pete Townshend-Lead guitar

 

Jimi Hendrix-Rhythm

 

Neil Pert(either him or Keith Moon)-Drums

 

Paul Mccartney-Bass/Vocals

 

 

 

i had to argue with either a bass or a keyboard and for bass i was considering flea but decided he is too heavy for this kind of band so i went with paul

[Mithr4ndir]

Lead Guitar(s): Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin)

 

Lead Guitar(s): David Gilmore (Pink Floyd)

 

Bass: Roger Waters (Pink Floyd)

 

Drums: Lars Ulrich (Metallica)

 

Lead Vocals: James LaBrie (Dream Theater)

 

Keyboard: Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater)

 

 

 

In my head, I can picture this being a progressive metal band with Ulrich and Waters the main backbone. LaBrie's vocals would match this awesomly. Tons of keyboard solos on a Haken Continuum keyboard from Rudess, and a lot of Stairway to Heaven esque guitar solos from Page, and complementary solos from Gilmore the likes of which we haven't heard since Comfortably Numb.

 

 

 

I can picture it now. Totally awesome. :thumbsup:

A hard symphonic progressive band.

 

That'd sound really interesting. :)

 

 

 

EDIT: Just mixed some songs together to see what'd turn out from that combination. Pretty weird, but I guess that's because they'd need an audio engineer better than me. :wink:

[guss]

Could somebody explain to me what the difference is between a lead guitar and a rythem guitar?

 

 

 

bump

 

 

 

you bumped a month old topic why?

 

 

 

Why can't you bump up a one month old post? Better than opening a new post and then he gets told he needs to use the search button.

 

 

 

 

 

Yes i like this topic, and so i dont get into trubble...BUMP

[Make7upu101]

Maybe not my dream band but I would like to see what these guys can come up with.

 

 

 

Vocals- Jill Andrews/ Elliott Smith (The Everybody Fields/ Solo Artist)

 

Rhythm Guitar- Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes)

 

Lead Guitar-Stephen Malkmus (Pavement)

 

Keyboard- Elliott Smith

 

Bass- Sam Quinn (TEF)

 

Percussion- Terry Bozzio (Frank Zappa)

[cocacolabottle]

New band:

 

 

 

Lead Guitar: Jimmy Page Led Zeppelin

 

Rhythm Guitar: Ritchie Blackmore Deep Purple

 

Vocals: Tyler Aerosmith

 

Drums: Lars Ulrich Metallica

 

Bass: Whathisname Red Hot Chilli Peppers

 

 

 

Rock n Roll style.

[dread_rasta]

Vocals: Mike Patton (Mr Bungle etc)

 

Lead:Steve Vai and Dimebag Darrel (pantera)

 

Rythm: Herman Li (Dragon force)

 

Bass: Victor Wooten or Billy Sheehan

 

Drums: Dave Lombardo (slayer)

 

 

That's some mixture :shock: . Although I must admit that I would've taken Dimebag and Lombardo into my group so that it would look something like this:

 

Lead: Dimebag Darrel

 

Rythm:Kuisma Aalto from Mokoma

 

Vocals: Either Chuck Billy from Testament or Tom Araya (possibly the bassist).

 

Drums: Dave Lombardo (Slayer, Testament, Grip Inc. and so on), Chris Adler (Lamb of God) or Tomas Haake (Meshuggah)

 

Bass: Tom Araya or Paulo jr. from Sepultura

 

 

 

The style would be Post-Trash a.k.a. Groove Metal

[Diesel]

Vocals: Brent Smith Shinedown

 

Lead Guitar: Tom Morello RATM, Audioslave

 

Rhythm/Lead Guitar: Buckethead

 

Bass: Flea Red Hot Chili Peppers

 

Drums: Dave Grohl Foo Fighters, Nirvana

 

 

 

Music blessed by the God of Rock 'n Roll \

[Kwisatz]

My band would be so incredibly ultimate it's not funny.

 

 

 

Vocals: Ian Gillian (Deep Purple)

 

Drums: Albert Bouchard (Blue Oyster Cult)

 

Rhythm Guitar: Tom Scholz (Boston)

 

Lead Guitar: Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser (Blue Oyster Cult)

 

Keyboards: Jon Lord (Deep Purple)

 

Bass: Mike Watt (Minutemen)

 

 

 

Gillian has a brilliant voice, and Lord has mad keyboard shreddage skill. Scholz would be the technical side of the band, providing the ultimate tone and production. Bouchard and Roeser are both great songwriters not to mention fairly technically gifted, and Mike Watt has got to be one of the best bassists on the face of the planet.

 

 

 

EDIT:

 

New band:

 

 

Lead Guitar: Jimmy Page Led Zeppelin

 

Rhythm Guitar: Ritchie Blackmore Deep Purple

 

Vocals: Tyler Aerosmith

 

Drums: Lars Ulrich Metallica

 

Bass: Whathisname Red Hot Chilli Peppers

 

 

 

Rock n Roll style.

 

 

 

Ritchie Blackmore could easily pwn Jimmy Page. If I could get away with nicking blues riffs from decades-old folk songs like Jimmy does I would too, and that aside he's not even a super technically-talented player. Even though Blackmore loves his damned Pentatonics way too much he still plays better solos and such in my eyes. And I sware, if somebody tells me "omfg listen to stairwae to heaven lawl" I will stab them in the face.

[Ragen]

This is incredibally hard for me to do, I know so many good artists that it becomes really complicated as to which playing style would suit who.

 

 

 

Lead Vocals - Corey Taylor. This one was easy, Corey is one of the best frontmans and metal singers around capable of a whole range of vocal styles.

 

 

 

Rhythm Guitar - John Petrucci. Really great all round player, love his lead work as well.

 

 

 

Lead Guitar - Really difficult choice. The best solo (IMO) was Sweet Child of Mine, although I dont think Slash would go well with the rest of the group. I'd choose Jimmy Page for his awesome solo's, especially the one in Achilles Last Stand.

 

 

 

Drums - I think that Mike Portnoy would get this spot. His drumming can annoy me at times but I still think its the best around. His drumming on the Train of Though Album was very good.

 

 

 

Bass - Jaco Pastorious. Hands down, the best bassist I know by far. I think he would add a jazzy feel to the music and be a better base for the songs than another metal bassist who hits the same note over and over.

[RpgGamer]

woah this is weird, this is the first ive seen of this thread yet i created this - http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=655113&highlight=

 

about a month ago. Its like the same thing though, thats crazy... any way my answer to the thread is within the link

[ssjim826]

ok here:

 

 

 

drummer #1: Lars Ulrich (Metallica)

 

Bassist: Steve Harris (Iron Maiden)

 

Guitarist #1: Dave Murray (Iron Maiden)

 

Guitarist #2: Kirk Hammet (Iron Maiden)

 

Guitarist #3 And Vocals: Dave Mustaine (Megadeth)

 

drummer #2: Dude From Slipknot

[Sir_Alex85]

Tough. I think I've done a topic like this before, but what the hell:

 

 

 

Vocals - Rob Halford (Judas Priest, solo stuff)

 

 

 

(Both guitars also do rhythm)-

 

Lead - "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott (Pantera, Damage Plan)

 

2nd Lead - Alot of people are worthy, but someone to go with Dimebag's style... I'm thinking a thrash guitarist, like Mustaine or something.

 

 

 

Drums - Brann Dailor (Mastodon)

 

 

 

Bass - Steve Harris (Iron Maiden)

 

 

 

 

 

It'd probably be pretty odd sounding, seeing as how alot of them would want creative control...Especially Harris, Darrel, and Mustaine. Eh. I'll put more thought into it, and if I come up with something, I'll post it.
