Bilbo Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Pat Metheny - guitar Lyle Mays - piano/keyboards Michael Brecker - but, if the dead thing is a deal breaker, Chris Potter Don Alias - oh, he's dead too, so we'll have Eric Harland on drums Joni Mitchell - vocals and songwriting Bilbo - bass Oh - its Joni Mitchell's Shadows and Light band! How did that happen? Try again: Ultimate Jazz ensemble Me on double bass Jeff Watts on drums Joey Calderazzo on piano Branford Masalis on saxophones Oh b*gger. I did it again. If death was no barrier to regular rehearsal.... Me on bass Billy Higgins on drums J.R. Monterose on tenor BIll Evans piano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Dave Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) If I could be on bass and vocals I'd love to have Lindsey Buckingham on guitar and vocals Don Powell on drums Dr John on piano and Roy Wood on whatever he cares to show up with. I'd listen to every word and suggestion each of them says - I have massive respect for each of them - but I wouldn't be intimidated at all. They all put their socks on the same way as I do.

pobrien_ie Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Vocals/Guitar - Chris Cornell Lead Guitar - Slash Guitar - Stone Gossard Bass - John Paul Jones Drums - Dave Grohl All are pretty good song writers too by all accounts....which would help!

dand666 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) Steve Marriot - Vocals Ringo Starr - Drums Steve Winwood - Organ & Everything else Gary Moore - Lead The Ox - Bass Jack White - Rhythm Although this changes daily. Metal Wise: Basically mash up Opeth, Megadeth & Mastodon and chuck in Hetfield on guitar. Prog Wise: Peter Gabriel Chris Squire Fripp Phil Collins Greg Lake Justin Haywood Edited December 5, 2012 by dand666 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 The Traveling Wilburys wasn't a bad effort, Tom Petty can go back on guitar and I'll play his Dano longhorn. Job done. Would have been good after Roy Orbison died if Del Shannon who was lined up as a replacement hadn't committed suicide as I've liked him since I was a little kid. Sadly history didn't work out that way and worse still they lot me as a bassist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterfire666 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 For me im 3/5 of the way to my perfect lineup already. Me-bass Will ferrel - vocals - amazing unique voice with shades of bruce dickinson. Extremely powerfull and creative too with his melodies. Martin Fitzharris - drums - an old friend and one of the most creative drummers i have heard. Now for the dream bit Jari maneppa (wintersun)- guitars Micheal romeo (symphony x)- guitars that would be epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_S Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Lead vocals - Gary Hughes (Ten) Guitar / backing vocals - Dave Meniketti (Y&T) Lead guitar - Alexi Laiho (Children of Bodom) Keyboards - Jens Johansson (YJM's Rising Force) Drums - Anders Johansson (Hammerfall) As for the 'alive or dead' vote, just put me in any given line-up of Rainbow and take me on a tour of Germany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassTractor Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 If this is gonna be an ultimate band, it can't have me on bass, so I'll bend the rules a trifle. Also, since I got some power here, the ultimate band will be playing my music. For that, I need: vocals: Peter Hammill guitars: Robert Fripp and Steve Howe bass pedals and other keyboards - me drums: Pip Pyle If a bass guitar is granted in addition, then Ray Shulman should play it. Old fashioned, yes. I'm old. best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr H Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 d - John Wright b & v - Mike Watt g - Nels Cline Surely somebody could arrange that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Think I'll have to rule out Pat Metheny as being for all practical purposes dead, based on his output in the last 10 years. That leaves: Slide guitar - Ry Cooder Acoustic guitar - Alan Prosser Other guitars - RIchard Thompson Drums - Jim Keltner Bouzouki - Donal Lunny Vocals - Bonnie Raitt Accordion - Sharon Shannon The set list is going to take a bit of thought.

LawrenceH Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Horns: Maceo Parker Fred Wesley Randy Brecker (sorry Rockin' Rick Gardner, but...) Drums/Perc: Akira Jimbo with ?uestlove, one acoustic one electric kit (Gutted Ray Barretto is dead. Someone else from Fania or else one of the percussionists from Mandrill) Guitar 1: Prince Guitar 2: Guthrie Govan Keys: Herbie Hancock Male vox: (and, err, 'rhythm' keys so I can have him alongside Herbie!): Stevie Wonder Female Vox: Ann Sexton or Sharon Jones Backing vox/dancers: Kid Creole's own Coconuts Turntables: Kid Koala, or maybe Grand Wizzard Theodore MC: Melle Mel or George Clinton There're two things* wrong with this band though, first I'd feel like a d&*k on bass when it should really be Bootsy or Larry, second I intended to have more members of Mandrill in there who're pretty much my ultimate band on their own at the moment. Still though, pretty much the funkiest show ever I think. *also third thing, Roger Troutman is dead or he'd be on talkbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alstocko Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) I'd be all Snarky Puppy and get tonnes of musicians, so... Tenor Sax - Bob Reynolds Trumpet - Miles (my hero!) Harmonica - Toots (of course!) Keys - Bernard Wright Organ - Sean Martin (Snarky Puppy) Rhythm Guitar - Keith Richards Lead guitar - Joe Pass (Allen Holdsworth) Bass - Me (or Pino depending on availability!) Drums -?uestlove (Steve Jordan if Pino is in!) And that's me limiting it a lot! Edited December 6, 2012 by alstocko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobVbass Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Excellent. Me and the rest of Status Quo but it will have to be 1972 and I'll have to leave by 1983 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Jan Akkerman - guitar, lute, etc Phil Collins - drums (as long as he can go back in time to his Gabriel Genesis days) Rick Wakeman - keyboards Mrs Zero - vocals, because she'd never forgive me for not letting her sing in this band. She's quite good too. Me on bass, struggling to keep up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
