    Ok. So poor Gary Moore died today. Rock is being taken from us.

    Thinking about those that died young. What would make a great line up?

    Dio on vocals?
    Paul Kossoff on rhythm (slightly controversial)
    Gary Moore on lead
    Keith Moon on drums
    Paul Gray on bass

    And I’d like Marc Bolan writing for them.

    Lee Brilleaux on vocals.

    Good call on Paul Kossoff.

    Can I change my mind?

    SRV and Jimi.

    Oh and Janis on vocals too.

    darcy – you keep mentioning jls. Who are they?

    No CG, you can’t change your mind……

    Jimi was never a band member, he was a one man show….

    I want a band that will play well together which is why I ignored Hendrix.

    Janis can do backing vocals.

    bonham drums
    Bon scott/janis Joplin vocals
    hendrix guitar
    An other bass

    I was going to google JLS but I did this once as Jedwood was mentioned on Radio 4 it was a waste of time so I go for generic boy/girl band of limited talent of talent show fame

    Hmmmm,

    I like your lead vocals Junkyard.

    But then I could have put Phil Lynott in there.

    Lead vocals are an awkward call….

    Jimi was never a band member, he was a one man show

    yet he was in a band for most of his career I dont think you should be the manager anymore

    No.

    LOL

    I ignored all proper Blues guitarists. Otherwise John Lee Hooker would’ve been in there as ‘occassional guitarist’ and voodoo specialist 😉

    Pete de Freitas on drums.

    Understated, underrated, sadly missed.

    Oh dear, typical STW, we can’t agree on anything and it’s not even bike related!

    Freddie

    I can’t allow him….

    GREAT singer and entertainer, no questions asked. But he wasn’t a rock singer. Not in the truest sense.

    surely bonham is a shoe in as drummer?
    i see your point re Hendrix he would hog the limelight – think we need a band of entirely drink related deaths then one for other drugs does that help?

    Bon Scott – Lead vocals
    Keith Moon (Headphones sellotaped to his head optional) – Drums

    Oh crap. OK – Bon Scott can do vocals.

    We need a Slash / Santana type album now. A solid band with multiple vocals dependant on track (too many good BUT dead vocalists).

    Lead – Gary Moore
    Rythym – Paul Kossof
    Bass – Paul Gray
    Drums – Moon (sorry, I prefer his style)

    Singers:-
    Phil Lynott
    Bon Scott
    Dio

    Backing singers:-
    Janis Joplin

    Manager:-
    Malcolm McLaren (until I’m available dead)

    Wrong about moon
    http://www.stylusmagazine.com/articles/weekly_article/stylus-magazines-50-greatest-rock-drummers.htm
    he is second to oh quess who see told you we needed a good manager 😉

    stamps feets shouts for grant to turn up and get all persuassive on McLaren – that would be a short fight between an art house lightweight and a coke fuelled nutter.

    Can Kurt not just make the sandwiches or something good but not great

    Vocals – Lux Interior
    Bass – John Entwistle
    Drums – Mitch Mitchell
    Guitar – Jerry Garcia
    Keyboard – Richard Wright

    Wowzer. They’d probably sound *terrible* together, but I’d still pay good money to see a line-up like that 😀

    Rock ain’t about ratings – Moon had the attitude.

    You’re all thinking TOO SMALL.

    I want the best. OK, the best of the dead, but the best none the same.

    I reckon my band could work……
