Form Your Ultimate Band

[seashell]

I think I might expand my band to include a string section. How about Darryl Way on electric violin and Julian Lloyd Webber on cello? Although if the cello frequencies interfere with my bass he might have to go and make the tea instead.

Oh, and maybe Ian Anderson on flute?

Hi All

Being a bit bored I thought I'd start a thread about forming your ultimate band, the only rules are;

You are the bassist and all other musicians must be still alive, so here's mine;

Bass - [b]Me[/b]
Guitar -[b] Steve Hackett [/b](the ultimate guitarist so underrated)
Drums - [b]Neil Peart [/b](just gets better and better)
Keyboards - [b]Rick Wakeman [/b](just love his style and sense of humour)
Vocals - [b][font=sans-serif]James LaBrie [/font][/b][font=sans-serif](Dream Theater) Good set of lungs[/font]

Type of Music - A mixture of Prog/Jazz/Blues Rock (if this is possible )

Cheers

Tony

Much like all stars jams, just having the best players doesn't necessarily equal the best results. Music is more than that. It's chemistry. I don't think the Beatles would have been better with John Lennon being replaced by Yngwie Malmsteen.
