i.e., create your own band by naming your favorite at each of these instruments:
vocals guitar (name 2 - does not have to be lead and rythym) bass piano/keyboards drums
One rule - you can only use one person from each band (in other words, you can't say, Plant on vocals, Page on guitar, etc.)
For example, mine would be:
vocals: Freddie Mercury - Queen guitar: Stevie Ray Vaughan Mark Knopfler - Dire Straits bass: John Entwistle, The Who keys: Jon Lord, Deep Purple drums: Mike Portnoy, Dream Theater
Dead is okay Baltis - in fact, my band is more posthumous than, well, humous...
Agree on Entwistle obviously - "The Real Me" is still a crank up to 11 for me anytime it comes on...
And Billy is very underrated and probably my second choice on piano. Anyone who's seen him do "Angry Young Man" or "Root Beer Rag" live knows that Billy is (a) an unbelievable showman and (b) that it almost comes too easy for him...
I went with Lord because of "Concerto for Group and Orchestra"...
A nice classic rock lineup, ghost - you're a man (or woman) after my own musical heart...
Though please explain to me why certain people tend to rate EVH so highly? I like him fine and all, and VH 1 was one of the best rock albums ever made, but there are so many choices among guitarists? Hendrix, Page, Townsend, May, SRV, Slash, Satriani, Vai, Rhodes, Petrucci, Clapton, Gilmour, Santana, Blackmore, Beck, etc...
Ok, unlike Greg you did not say nice things about me, so you have to lose either Hammet or Burton...
Okay then.
vocals- Kurt Cobain (Nirvana) rhythm guitar - Scott Ian (Anthrax) lead guitar - Randy Rhodes (Ozzy Osbourne band) bass - Cliff Burton (Metallica) drums - Dave Lombardo (Slayer)

Well, I can always switch Eddie and Pete around. Eddie plays the keyboards just as good. But according to your rules, I couldn't throw in Andy Sumners of the police because as you know, I have sting as my vocals. To be honest, everyone you listed is great but I'm just a bigger fan of EDDIE.

Heck, I wanted to use all of "Rush"
Ghostwriter
And I wanted to use half Queen, half Dream Theater!
I get the feeling that EVH is a better piano player than he is a guitarist, his axe rep notwithstanding...
The reason I asked you that is because I think he's fine for what he does, however most of the musicians I know tell me that he's a hack - with no musical talent of my own I can't tell if it's because they know something technical or if they're just jealous...
Wow this is going to be fun! I live for fun and love to mix business with pleasure because I have such an intense personality and need to or things get pretty bad.
OK, this is very hard to do, but I'll do more than one of these. The current choices I've made are not solely based upon talent, but based upon the essence that I feel from the person and if they move me or not.
My choice for vocalist in this particular set is Sarah Brightman because I think she's absolutely gorgeous and has a beautiful spirit. Her voice is equally beautiful and I'd love to see her perform with the gentlemen that I've named as a part Beatles, part Led Zeppilin mix and Elton John on piano because some of his music just really resonates with me emotionally. DANIEL, is one of those songs.
I think any artist that can really stir one's emotions is truly-truly a wonderful person to behold. And there are so many of course, but I had to choose in this first set, so that's what I've come up with and why.
I'll do another set though later. Also too, I was mainly focusing on modern pop/rock culture, although Sarah Brightman doesn't fit into that category, but if you need a woman, I think she's a perfect representation.
In the video I'll post below. Listen to the words at the end. Rather fascinating.
vocals: Sarah Brightman guitar: Jimmy Page and John Lennon bass: George Harrison piano/keyboards: Elton John drums: John Bonham
I've noticed there are a lot of "J's" in that selection. I wonder why.
Daniel, when I first saw you I knew that you had a flame in your heart And under under our blue skies Marble movie skies I found a home in your eyes We'll never be apart
And when the fires came The smell of cinders and rain Perfumed almost everything We laughed and laughed and laughed And in the golden blue Crying took me to the darkest place And you have set fire to my heart
When I run in the dark Daniel To a place that's worst Under a sheet of rain in my heart Daniel I dream of home
But in a goodbye bed With my arms around your neck Into our love the tears crept Just catch in the eye of the storm And as my heart ran round My dreams pulled me from the ground Forever to search for the flame For home again For home again
When I run in the dark Daniel To a place that's worst Under a sheet of rain in my heart Daniel I dream of home
When I run in the dark Daniel To a place that's worst Under a sheet of rain in my heart Daniel I dream of home
Hi Sandra. Acouple of things: those lyrics must be from another 'Daniel' song - they aren't Elton's.
George on bass? Do you mean Macca? George did play bass on some Beatle songs though.
Top band by the way.
Ok, my supergroup, without any Beatle:
Vocals - Robert Plant Bass - John Entwhistle Guitars - Keef and Jimi Drums - Moonie
Yes, they are not Elton John's song.
Yes, I wanted to post Elton John's lyrics together with those and then I got caught up and never finished the post.
Anyways, the lyrics to Elton John and Bernie Taupin's Daniel always made me wonder and feel moved at the same time and I only just now researched them and I found the following, but I'm not sure if it's correct or not:
Although the lyrics suggest the song is about the singer's younger brother flying off to Spain (Europe), they are actually about a real life U.S. marine called Daniel, who was injured by a landmine in Vietnam. He was left wheelchair bound and blind. The military of the day used him for PR purposes, "A BRAVE AMERICAN, WHO GAVE FOR HIS COUNTRY", sort of thing. Television pictures showed Daniel receiving a medal in Washington, waving goodbye before boarding an aeroplane bouned for Spain (Texas).
Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
They say Spain is pretty though I've never been Well Daniel says it's the best place that he's ever seen Oh and he should know, he's been there enough Lord I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much
Oh, Daniel my brother you are older than me Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal Your eyes have died but you see more than I Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky
Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes Oh God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
Elton John and Bernie Taupin
OK, so here's the other Daniel song I had posted the lyrics to above.
It's written by Natasha Khan and performed by Bat for Lashes
Vocals - Mike Patton (Faith No More) Guitar - Don Cochino (Pungent Stench) Bass - Les Claypool (Primus) Drums, backing vocals - Chris Reifert (Autopsy)
vocals: Donnie Iris or Danny Elfman guitar: Jimi Hendrix, George Harrison bass: Greg Lake piano/keyboards: Rick Wakeman drums: Buddy Rich
My vote is for George Harrison! Thanks Steive!
The trouble I had with this is trying to "delegate everyone".
In the end, for my first selection, I needed to pick someone for vocals.
Most certainly, I think everyone would already expect me to pick "John Lennon". And I would. But here, I needed to stretch what was already evident.
What it came down to for me was "a need" for a woman.
I actually had many males who could fill the empty part, but I was at a loss as to the one part that needed to be filled by a woman.
Time was spent. A lot of time. Finally, the name came and more. When I realized who was important here, I became extremely thrilled.
I'll just keep everything a bit secret for now, but I just want to say that I love the sensuality that we are able to experience, if only we are allowed to experience it...
I mean no disrespect here and I'm not trying to be over-the-edge.
Seriously, it's just a joy for me and I want to say thank you,
Did Donny Iris have a career in Europe? He had one hit in the states and I remember it was one of my favorites when it came out (Ah Lia).
I'm not sure of his popularity overseas, but his career took off in the early seventies with a #1 song called The Rapper, with his band The Jaggerz. His best songs in the 80s with The Cruisers were Love is Like a Rock, Ah Leah, King Cool, Sweet Merilee, Do You Compute, and several others I can't think of off the top of my head. He can hit some serious notes. I've seen him live perhaps 20 times.
