You died & went to Heaven. Your Job - Create the ultimate Heaven Rock & Roll Band

[LynneSin]

First - everyone goes to heaven unless you murdered someone, a child pedophile, a rapist/partner abuser or someone who use their power and/or money to suppress the lil people.

So there are alot of really really good musicians available for you in Heaven. And God likes her bands really big PLUS she expects an opening act too.

Go ahead and create your ultimate Band in Heaven!

BTW you can recommend the entire band or just members of it!

[Hotler]

1. Maynard Ferguson on lead horn and band leader to start with.

I'll be back after more thought.

[Rambis]

2. Mine but I don't know what kind of music they would play

Who would care?

Moon Bonham on drums
Jimmy Duane and Jerry guitars
Entwistle Bass
Janis vocals

[geardaddy]

8. second for

Entwhistle on bass.

[GoCubsGo]

10. And, Frank Zappa writing the songs.

I'm assuming by "Jerry", you mean Mr. Garcia?

[Rambis]

11. Is there another?

[HopeHoops]

3. Louie Armstrong, Cab Calloway, John Lennon, Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller & Buddy Rich

[betharina]

4. i don't care who plays the music or if he sings acapella,

just as long as freddie is singing.

[LynneSin]

5. But think of some of the killer duets he could do

He could just sing "Under Pressure" over and over again using people like Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin etc. etc.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

6. Do they all have to be dead already or can I kill a few?

[Bake]

7. Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan on guitar, and Bonham and Moon on drums

Every Raylette who ever sang doing harmony vocals. Clarence White sitting in on acoustic guitar. Clarence Clemons on sax. John Lennon writing the songs. George Harrison doing whatever the f*** he wants to do! That's just for starters.

Bake

9. To quote MrCoffee, "everyone knows all the best bands will be in hell".

:rofl:

[LynneSin]

12. But I gave just about everyone a free pass into heaven

Unless you want your band to be made up with Catholic Priests, Republicans and OJ Simpson.

:rofl:

[ohiosmith]

13. Mea culpa.

Bless you.

[LynneSin]

14. Ask yourself this very simple question - If you died, went to your eternal afterlife home and....

was greated by Ronald Reagan and Jerry Falwell, where do you think you ended up in the afterlife.

Nuff said!

[ohiosmith]

16. hell?

[LynneSin]

17. Now - say instead of those 2 it was Jerry Garcia, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and Janis Joplin

where are you?

[ohiosmith]

18. heaven?

O8)

[dawg]

15. OK

Lead Vocals - Freddie Mercury
Lead Guitar, Vocals - George Harrison
Bass, Vocals - John Entwistle
Drums - Sammy "Stumpy" Bateman
Additional Drums - Keith Moon, John Bonham
Saxophone - John Coltrane
Keyboards - Beethoven, only he has to play a B3, Mini-Moog, and Mellotron

[Faygo Kid]

19. Outstanding. But, got to mix it up a bit.

Ella Fitzgerald and Janis Joplin join the band on vocals. No women in your group. Gotsta change that. Also, find room for John Lennon.

[taterguy]

20. Presumably in heaven you'd be at your physical peak so Elvis should be the front man

Not the Vegas Elvis, the Sun Records Elvis.

You can't find anyone who's more Rock and Roll.

[Bennyboy]

21. Here ya go!

Jerry Garcia
Frank Zappa Guitars
Jimmy Smith Organ
Keith Moon Drums
Charles Mingus/Jaco Pastorius Bass
John Coltrane Sax
Miles Davis Trumpet

Janis Joplin lead singer

[21st Century FDR]

25. For some reason I just can't picture Jerry Garcia and Keith Moon on the same stage

Love em both, but I'm not so sure they would love each other. Can't see Keith going along with all the 20 minute jam versions of the songs.

[Bennyboy]

26. Well, he'd just have to hang on...

And rock it.

[Philippine expat]

22. I'd have to give that a lot of thought but

I will start with Elvis Presley, Janis Joplin and Richie Valens shared vocals

[rurallib]

23. where is Buddy Holley? Ricky Nelson?

I know - I am just too old.
Lennon, Harrison, Jim Morrison

[Forkboy]

24. Well, your first qualifier rules out Burzum.

Rob Wright on bass
Rick Sims on guitar
Buddy Rich on drums
Tod A. on vocals

[pokerfan]

27. Lowell George (1945 – 1979)

needs to be in there somewhere

[OmahaBlueDog]

28. He is heaven's slide guitarist. Richie Hayward is right there to join him on drums!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Feat

For those unfamiliar with Little Feat's incredible work.

[Tikki]

29. Jimi Hendrix' version of Brian Eno's...

"Needle in the Camel's Eye"...


Tikki

[Zorra]

30. This isn't easy, because band chemistry is usually more important than virtuosity.

You take someone out of a band with great chemistry lineup and very often the band loses its magic.
