Your all-star dream band... |
|
Unlimited as to size and range of instruments. Harps, bagpipes, do not matter. Who would you choose, regardless of playing styles? And take into consideration song writing capabilities.:headbang:

Lowman Pauling: Lead guitarist for the Five Royales, enormously influential but reletively unknown R&B pioneers.
Syd Straw: Incredibly charismatic vocalist, the kind that can get away with saying to a crowd: "How y'all doing tonight?" and have everyone in the audience think she really wants to know. Performed with the dream band the Golden Palominos in the 80s and put out a few great solo records.

8. I can't answer this question. |
|
I could say who my favorite drummer is.. But this is like mixing my ten favorite foods in a bowl. When mixed together it will end up tasting like shit.

10. Well, since Waylon, Willie, Kris, and Johnny ALREADY formed a band... |
|
I'll say:
Lead guitar: Carlos Santana and Mark Knopfler. Drummer: Mick Fleetwood Bass: Charles Mingus (Who needs and electric bass?) Keyboards: Duke Ellington Lead vocals: Norah Jones
I'd change it five minutes from now.
Or, if I'm in a less jazzy, more rock mood:
Lead guitar: Lindsey Buckingham (yeah, an odd choice, but underrated, and very playful style. Plus, he's a great band guitarist, meaning he plays for the band, rather than to show off). Second Lead: Rick Nielson (another underrated guitarist) Electric bass and songwriter: Roger Waters Lead vocals: Jimmy Hall (Wet Willie, Deep South--don't worry if you've never heard of him. Has a bluesy style). Drummer: Ian Paice.
