Dream 6 piece band

[lozzyloz]

From living artists who would your dream line up be? So many choices but I'd go for something like:

Keyboards: Herbie Hancock

Vibraphone: Roy Ayres

Jazz Guitar: Ronnie Jordan

Drums and Percussian: Ivan Conti

Bass: Bernard Edwards

Vocals: Sia Furler

[atila the gooner]

Marvin Gaye - Vocals

Funk Brothers - Backing Band

[Brendan]

Tori Amos ? Vocals and Piano

Louis Armstrong - Vocals and Trumpet

Flea ? Bass

(Adding anyone else to the mix would ruin it)

(Adding anyone else to the mix would ruin it)

No beats?

[Brendan]

I?m not sure. :-S I pondered a guitar and some drums but Flea is pretty much a one man rhythm section and the simplicity will hopefully not dilute the purity of the other two.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Are we really confined to 6?

[lozzyloz]

Not if you don't want to be.

[mockney piers]

I dread to think what it sounds like...but here goes

Jimmy Page - Lead Guitar

Kevin Shields - Guitar, Noise

Kim Deal - Bass

Phil Collins - Drums

Rick Wakeman - Keyboards

Elizabeth Fraser - Lead Vocals

Bill Callahan - Vocals

Joanna Newsom - Harp, Backing Vocals

[Keef]

Slash - Guitar

Flea - Bass

Skin (Skunk Anansie) - Vocals

Adam Duritz (Counting Crows) - Vocals & Piano

Rocky Gray (former Evanescence) - Drums

Will have to think about the 6th member...

[Brendan]

To many egos and conflicting ideas Mockney. It would be a good barney though.

[Cassius]

What about an all female line up.

Kim Deal - bass

Poison Ivy - lead guitar

Meg White - drums

Debbie Harry - vocals

[lozzyloz]

Nice idea Cassius.

Gwen Stefani - vocals

Rhonda Smith - bass, vocals

Sheila E - drums, percussion

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Lead guitar - Peter Green

Rhythm guitar - Tom Petty

Mickey Finn is dead - and it specified living artists......

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

So's Billy Preston & Cass Elliot and Peter Green is off the planet - sorry, I missed that bit, so hung up on not being able to confine it to six.

Sorry PGC - picked on you and here is someone else blatantly ignoring the rules..............

[Brendan]

Oh I didn't see that. Well that ruins the entire dynamic. I shall have to apply further thought to the issue.

[lozzyloz]

Perhaps Freddy Hubbard on trumpet and Duke Ellington on vocals?

[Brendan]

Or change it a bit. Forget the trumpet and bring in Mark Knopfler on guitar and Chris Rea on vocals.
