moonchildhippy Group: Members Posts: 1807 Joined: Dec. 2004 Posted: June 09 2005, 12:02 I had this idea from a PM I've been sent,  I'm wondering, who would be in your ultimate supergroup if they were to tour, even though it's a hypothetical tour.  I was going to keep this to musicians who are currently alive, as unfortunately the greats among the dead, wouldn't be able to tour. Here goes then Moonchildhippy's Ultimate Supergroup: Roger Waters on bass Nick Mason and /or Roger Taylor - drums Robert Plant - vocals Keith Emerson - keyboards and wait for it.... wait for it....I can't keep you in suspense any longer, Mike Oldfield, Brian May and Jimmy Page, on guitars each taking it in turns to do a lead solo  . The  greatest guitarists  IMHO, (well not forgetting Jimi Hendrix, too). Lynerd Skynerd had three guitarists, so why not.     -------------- I'm going slightly mad, It finally happened, I'm slightly mad , just very slightly mad If you feel a little glum to Hergest Ridge you should come.

Your supergroup comes across like a sort of Prog Zeppelin. Nothing against Zeppelin, but I'd probably have more Prog (replace others with Fish as vocalist, Hackett on guitar, etc...and Carl Palmer on drums, without a doubt). -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: June 09 2005, 19:56 Erm, has this been done before? Seems to have a familiar theme, but my memory aint what it used to be. So, Bass - Nick Beggs or Pino Paladino Drums - Simon Phillips Keyboards -  Geoff Downes guitar - Mikey Boy Vocals -  Freddie Mercury (if we are allowed deceased) or Robert Plant co-produced by Guy Chambers to secure a hit single -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question?

moonchildhippy Group: Members Posts: 1807 Joined: Dec. 2004 Posted: June 09 2005, 21:05 I'm sure  Korgscrew will give me a ticking off if a similar thread has been done before   . I've had a thought on this one, and I have come up with a supergroup using deceased musicians, the only think is I won't get to see it until the God/Goddess, decides it's time for me to go and see the Great Gig In The Sky, which I hope won't be for another 60 years or so. John Bonham - Drums Phil Lynott - Bass Freddie Mercury -Vocals and piano (if needed) Jimi Hendrix - Guitar Brian Jones - Guitar, sitar (if needed) and virtually any other instrument.  What talent Brian had,a  vastly underrated musician     . -------------- I'm going slightly mad, It finally happened, I'm slightly mad , just very slightly mad If you feel a little glum to Hergest Ridge you should come.

raven4x4x Group: Members Posts: 1535 Joined: Jan. 2002 Posted: June 09 2005, 21:05 Hmm, this is a hard one. There are so many to chose from, even if we're limiting this to living musicians. OK, I would choose: Bass: Chris Squire Drums: Simon Phillips Keyboards: Rick Wakeman Guitar: Mike Oldfield Vocals: Absolutely no idea. Too hard to pick. I could go with Jon Anderson, but that would just turn it into Yes with guests. Roger Waters would be good, but he'd have nothing to do in terms of bass playing with Chris Squire already there. None of my other favourite vocalists really fit with the rest of the group. I think a 'musicians hall of fame' would be easier for me to do than a dream band. That's a good idea actually, I might think about that some more.   -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top

He put out an album called Homelands with 2 other musicians (Ellis, Beggs & Howard) which I still play loads. Last year , Nick Beggs was at the Yes show here in Exeter, and Chris squire kept waving and playing extra fiddly bits for him. -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top
