Haha the funny thing is I think about this subject quite often.
Of todays life people it would have to be
Vocals -Sting (but lyrics written by PaulSimon and Anthony Kiedis)
Bass- Flea
Guitar- John Frusciante and Omar Alfredo Rodríguez-López
Drums-Dave Grohl

(RHCP is pretty close to perfect for me)

Who would your fantasy band consist of? What venues would you/they play and where?

Also, what would this act be called?

Drums...Bonzo
Bass...Les Claypool
Guitar...Jimmy Page
Rhythm guitar/sitar...George Harrison
Keyboards...Trent Reznor
Vocals...John Kay

The Basking Apes would play auditoriums in America, large festivals in Europe, and airport hangers in countries nobody's heard of.

littleknowitall · 01-24-2009, 05:16 PM

Drums - Gene Krupa
Bass - Marcus Miller
Guitar - Jeff Beck
Rhythm Guitar - Mark Knopfler
Keyboard - Michael Nyman
Vocals - Ray Charles

And christ knows what Id call them, or where I put em, sorry...I'm sleepy.

this is f*cking impossible, i thought i was getting somewhere but i ended up with 4 or 5 rotating members for each part... and another 3 or 4 just standing around looking cool. so it's not definitive. but it's a stadium-straddling super-rock outfit, nothing too highbrow

mollycculs - manager, accountant, creative co-ordinator, 'vibes'

scott walker/ david bowie - vocals

frank zappa - lead guitar/ sometime arranger and orchestra conductor

prince - second guitar, various instrumental duties (it's my band and i want another one)

johnny thunders - rhythm guitar/ backing vocals

chris squire - bass guitar

richard starkey - drums (leave off you bastards he's up to this job)

sun ra - keys and synthesizers, principally Vox organ. this seems like an erroneous choice but luckily our visions coincide when in 2012 Saturn aligns with the earth, he takes it as a sign and does whatever the f*ck i tell him

mark e.smith/ malcolm eden (from 80's socialist indiepop group McCarthy) - lyrics

bez - backing vibes, pure-grade mandy (NO OTHER DRUGS ALLOWED)

there would also be a visual co-ordinator of some sort but i can't think of anyone who's famous for working projectors and lighting

also optional would be Terminator X and any number of MC's (preferably Biz Markie, he would need the money) for old skool-breaks in the intermission...

At this point Syd Barrett would be amongst the crowd serving tea and battenburg cake.

EDIT: also john lennon and paul mcCartney on tape loops and percussion variously
