Mekong Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I was thinking this evening (a bad sign when both sober and not stoned) who would make my dream four piece rock band. (still living) Guitar was a difficult choice, so many to choose from FFS the Yardbirds gave us Clapton, Beck and Page, from the other side of the pond we have Satriani and Vai, even the RHCP had both Narvarro and Frusciante at one time or another but my choice is slightly abstract, imagine Frank Zappa on Yaba and you will get Buckethead, OK I play a little but this guy blows me away. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adV8-_hgL4g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Drums is a no brainier Moon and Bonham were both good but also dead so don't meet my criteria so that only leaves Neil Peart. who the fark else has a xylophone as part of their percussion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa0C5Uxpd3c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Bass is interesting most people would go for Jack Bruce, Lemmy or Flea but I prefer Doug Wimbish, who the fark is that you may ask, he played for Sugarhill Gang and also on Grandmaster Flash Classic white lines but for me his best work was when he was playing with Living Colour http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fx1KblnXyik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Vocals, so many to chose from Plant, Gillan, Ozzy the list goes on but for me it is a toss up between Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell and Cornell takes it by a whisker. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVXIK1xCRpY So I have Buckethead Guitar Neil Peart Drums Doug Wimbish Bass Chris Cornell Vocals Who would make up your ultimate four piece rock band? PS I realise that Buckethead and Doug Wimbish are abstract choices but they make music I like to listen to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallenda Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Bass is interesting most people would go for Jack Bruce, Lemmy or Flea but I prefer Doug Wimbish, who the fark is that you may ask, he played for Sugarhill Gang and also on Grandmaster Flash Classic white lines but for me his best work was when he was playing with Living Colour Important note: hard to hear the bass I know on this track below (much more audible on the original vinyl) but White LInes is pretty much a rap over the top of this, subtracting the bit of murky vocals from the original. Liquid Liquid had the very bad luck to record for a label that had no idea how to do business, got left behind when stuff like they did started to take off. This one was huge in NY clubs, whether it was the kind where groups like Sonic Youth would play, or ones where gangters from uptown would come down to breakdance.
