If you could form a five-piece with any musicians.. who?

[troublehead]

Me and Billy Gibbons on guitar
Pepper Keenan on Vocals
A non-flashy bassist and drummer that can keep rhythm!

 

[Shark Diver]

Because I like the songs/music they've done the most:

Melissa Etheridge (acoustic)
John Waite (bass/vocals)
Elton John (keys/vocals)
Johnette Napolitano (bass/vocals)
Terry Lee Miall and Merrick (drummers Adam Ant '77-'82)
Jim Steinman (song writing)

yeah I'm the 6th. Not Metal, but you guys seem to have that covered.

[Ventura]

oh shit.....i thought you said if you could have a "5-way with any musicians"

Aw Steve, mind's ALWAYS in zee gutter, eh?? Perfect

Alright, for quartet of musicians (and believe me, I'll be cool with rhythm on guitar in any case
Guitar: Dweezil
Guitar: Slash
Bass: Les Claypool
Kit: Bozzio
And if I could have guest appearances a la the Brothers "Ween" on any given occassion, that'd be JUST fine

Speaking of Les Claypool, my daughter is at a Primus gig in Houston and just sent me a couple of video's.

Ray Gillan on vocals
Glenn Hughes on bass and vocals
That young guy with the heart tattoo from Steve Vai's band on drums

That's him. When I watch the Vai Wild Things DVD I find myself digging the drums most of all! He beats the snot out of those things.

Mike Patton didn't pass on did he?

 

[EXPcustom]

Vocals- Maynard James Keenan

Guitar/vocals- Jerry Cantrell

Guitar-Kerry King

Bass- Justin Chancellor

Drums- Paul Bostaph

It would be like a thrash fast version of Tool/Alice in Chains plus both the guitarist can do leads as well as rythm.

If I had to actually be in the band I would take Kerry's place to do the rythm.

 

[Atropos_Project]

Jeff Buckley on vocals.
Matt Chamberlain on drums.
Robertino Pagliari (OHM) on bass.
Eric Johnson and Derek Trucks on guitars
Me on cowbell.

I kind of like that idea.

I know I'll be shot but even being a Slayer fan since the 80's I think Paul Bostaph's drumming with Slayer is just incredible. Really didn't have me missing Lombardo at all. When Lombardo came back I thought his playing sounded lackluster compared to how intensely Bostaph plays and accents. He and Gene Hoglan are at the top of my list for metal drummers I would want to play with.
