Your fantasy 'Super-Group'

What would your dream band be if you could unite any group of musicians for one night? (Dead or alive)


Drums: Phil Taylor (Motorhead) - What would Ace of Spades, Overkill, Bomber etc be without his drumming?


Bass: Flea (Red Hot Chilli Peppers) - I love RHCP and his funky bass playing is a major reason for that.


Rhythm guitar: James Hetfield (Metallica) - Responsible for some for the greatest riffs of all time, He can also play a t great speed whilst doing vocals at the same time.


Lead Guitar: Carlos Santana - I've always loved his smooth latin lines, His playing always seems to lift even the most mediocre of his collaborations.


Vocals: Michael Poulsen (Volbeat) - I had a hard time choosing a vocalist but I went for Poulsen as he has a great voice which he combines rocabilly, metal and indie into his songs.


Honourable mentions to the likes of Noel Gallacher, Duff McKeagen, Joe Bonamassa, Slash & Steve Harris amongst others who I've probably forgotten.

Hanson with special guest; Gary Glitter.

No more fucking mmmbop.

Lead Singer: Ian Curtis (Joy Division)
Lead Guitarist: Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin)
Rhythm Guitarist/ Lyricist: Richey James Edwards (Manic Street Preachers)
Bassist: Flea (Red Hot Chilli Peppers)
Drums: Keith Moon (The Who)

Not sure Mr Gadd would be too interested in them to be honest.

And when was the last time you heard mmmbop anyway? Get a grip.

Vocals and Bass: Phil Lynott
Guitar: Jimi Hendrix & Jimmy Page
Drums: John Bonham

That'd be fun.

Bjork - vocals and other mouth noises
Jonny Greenwood - guitars and like electronic shit
Mani - bass
Akiko Matsuura - drums

Now that's a interesting one. It'd be crazy and I'd love it.

PJ Harvey - Vocals, rhythm guitar
J Mascis - Lead guitar
Kim Gordon - Bass
Drums - Clive Deamer

No clue how this would work, but it'd be fun.

Alternatively, I might switch out Mascis with Peter Buck, and Kim Gordon with Colin Greenwood. Might make a more coherent band.

Any band I try to assemble would have Morrissey and Johnny Marr in it, unfortunately that would just end up to be the Smiths again.

It says "fantasy" you cretinous buffoon.

Vocals - Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth)
Lead Guitar - Matt Bellamy (Muse)
Rhythm Guitar - James Hetfield (Metallica)
Bass - John Myung (Dream Theater)
Drums - Mike Portnoy (ex-Dream Theater)

"Super groups" suck 9/10 times.

Gary Glitter - Lead singer
Michael Jackson - Backing vocals/choreography
Pete Townshend - Guitars
R Kelly - Bass?
Elton John - Bums

Maybe Jimmy Savile on the tambourine?

Innocent until proven guilty.

Michael Jackson was acquitted, wasn't he?

So he wasn't proven guilty. So he is innocent.

I think you've missed the point, dear.

Yeah, that's the point I was trying to make.

Elton John isn't a paedo either is he?

You don't settle out of court for $12 million unless you dinkled a few winkies.

Who said he was?

No one but Elvis might be a bit pissed off you left him out of your band of nonces when Elton got in.

Was he a diddler? I haven't googled but I'm going to assume it's statutory rape he was done for.

No nothing official but when he got with Priscilla she was 14 and he was mid-20's.

It was back in the 40/50's. Rape was just surprise sex back then.

^^^ clearly a member of Hanson.

It's my maw's ringtone, so the last time I heard it was fairly recently.

I don't know who would be in my fantasy band. Tony Iommi would probably be the guitarist though. Black Sabbath have some of the greatest guitar riffs ever.
