Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted September 5, 2002 Report Posted September 5, 2002 Here's another hypothetical situation thing for you all. If you play a musical instrument, guitar, bass, drums, flute, whatever, and you wanted to form a band, AND had free reign to pick any musicians you wanted to be in it, who would it be, and what kind of stuff would you play? If you don't play any instruments, just pretend you're their manager or something. Also, try to use criteria other than trying to make the most money possible, or picking someone like Avril Lavigne just because you think she's hot or whatever. My band: Flo Mounier (from Cryptopsy)-Drums Me-Bass Kerry King (from Slayer)-Geetar Trey Azagthoth (from Morbid Angel)-Other Geetar Matt McClelland (from Corpsevomit)-Vocals if something possessed me to make a band that wasn't metal, I'd use: Neal Peart-Drums Me-bass Frank Zappa-Vocals and guitar.

Guest Dames Edna Posted September 6, 2002 Report Posted September 6, 2002 Oh man, Brian Wilson was a terrific singer.
Guest godthedog Posted September 6, 2002 Report Posted September 6, 2002 gotta dig those beach boys harmonies. nobody touches 'em except the beatles.
Guest goodhelmet Posted September 6, 2002 Report Posted September 6, 2002 But when compared to freddy mercury who could sing in any style and has the entire range of sound in his vocals, it's a no-brainer. freddy mercury is the best male vocalist EVER!
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted September 6, 2002 Report Posted September 6, 2002 I'll cop out, I'll do a metal and pop band METAL Kurt Cobain - vocals Jimi Hendrix - guitar Flea - Bass Dave Grohl - Drums Metal? Que? It'd be a good band, but not a metal band.
Guest Mad the Swine Posted September 7, 2002 Report Posted September 7, 2002 But when compared to freddy mercury who could sing in any style and has the entire range of sound in his vocals, it's a no-brainer. freddy mercury is the best male vocalist EVER! I'd let them share lead vocals; I'm not crazy. But I think Wilson was a better singer than Mercury. Mercury had great range, but Wilson's was phenomenal. Wilson couldn't have fired off rapid classics like March of the Black Queen, but Mercury couldn't have made you cry during Caroline No. The only song that both covered was I Can Hear Music. Mercury covered it as Larry Lurex in 1973. While Mercury isn't singing as well as he could and he's trying to sound different, it's clearly not his type of song (the Beach Boys' version was actually sung by Carl Wilson on lead). Plus, I think Wilson could harmonize a little better, noting how most of Mercury's harmonies were with himself. Though he could do harmonize with May and Taylor (Somebody to Love), Wilson had to carry Mike Love. In the original write-up, I forgot to note that Wilson would be the main producer. Now, that was his specialty.
Guest Nevermortal Posted September 7, 2002 Report Posted September 7, 2002 I'll cop out, I'll do a metal and pop band METAL Kurt Cobain - vocals Jimi Hendrix - guitar Flea - Bass Dave Grohl - Drums Metal? Que? It'd be a good band, but not a metal band. Yeah, uh...who's metal in that one?
Guest Mark4steamboat Posted September 7, 2002 Report Posted September 7, 2002 Vocalist: Maynard James Keenan Guitar: Tom Morello or Adam Jones Bass: Flea Drums: Dave Grohl or Danny Carey.
Guest Dames Edna Posted September 7, 2002 Report Posted September 7, 2002 Sorry, "alternative". I think your guys opinion of metal is different from mind. Grohl is an awesome metal drummer ie. QOTSA If I said heavy metal, or death metal you could call me out. Hendrix may not have been metal, Flea could easily have been metal - he did play with Jane's Addiction who have been known to be a metal band. And In Utero shows Cobain could have easily been in a metal band
Guest HellSpawn Posted September 7, 2002 Report Posted September 7, 2002 I must say I've a thing for the old guard, so my band will play Metal-Hard Rock and some Rock Pop. David Coverdale -Male Singer (Whitesnake-Deep Purple) Andrea Corr -Female Singer/Flute (The Corrs) Tom Scholz - Lead Guitar (Boston) Paul Stanley -Rhythm Guitar / Addt'l Vocals (Kiss) Nikki Sixx -Bass Tommy Lee -Drums Me- Manager.
