Title: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: Backslash on March 17, 2006, 08:38:02 AM Yeah, just as the topic suggests. I came up with an idea of a supergroup and I was wondering who I would want to join. However, there's a twist. I thought that it would be interesting to see if we could all compile supergroups made up of our favourite deceased musicians. It does sound kinda morbid, but think of the great music that could've been, had these legends survived. I can't imagine this becoming very popular, but I think it'd be interesting to get a few different opinions. I'll start.
Here's my idea of the ideal blues-based rock band with all deceased members: Vocals: Janis Joplin Lead guitar: Stevie Ray Vaughan Rhythm guitar and songwriting: John Lennon Bass: John Entwistle Drums: John Bonham Piano/Keyboards: Ray Charles Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: Izzy on March 17, 2006, 08:41:57 AM Axl Rose on vocals

Ray has been dead for 2 years so little grace will be extended but not much. Perhaps you should pick up a newspaper from time to time, watch CNN or get off the damn computer and come back to the real world.
Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: Backslash on March 17, 2006, 12:53:54 PM John Entwistle Yup, that's why I picked him... he'll probably end up in every band. Him and that Metallica guy ;).

Perhaps you should pick up a newspaper from time to time, watch CNN or get off the damn computer and come back to the real world. I wasn't joking that I didn't know Joplin had died. I have a few tunes on my computer that I listenned to but never bought any albums or followed up on any bio's or anything. And can you explain how reading a newspaper or watching CNN, which tend to deal with current affairs, would have enlightened me to her death? CNN *Breaking News.......... Janis Joplin dead.........36 years ago.......more to follow* Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: alexh0618 on March 17, 2006, 06:10:30 PM Bon Scott

Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: Butch Français on March 18, 2006, 11:42:35 AM John Bonham would be one hell of a busy guy, by the looks of things he wouldn't go unemployed, I think we can establish that. ;D Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: Sakib on March 18, 2006, 02:51:42 PM Axl Rose on vocals ...wait, he ain't dead u say! ....judging by the latest leaked tracks, his musical career is...

Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: Lithium on March 19, 2006, 10:48:09 AM Vocals: Jim Morrison
Guitar: Jimi Hendrix Bass: Cliff Burton Drums: Keith Moon Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: Jamie on March 19, 2006, 11:09:52 AM I think I'll not really do a band just name a shit load of people! cos there's a load of people I could think of that deserve to be in this.
Freddie Mercury - Vocals Jimi Hendrix - Guitars Keith Moon - Drums John Entwistle - Bass Phil Lynott - Vocals/Bass Rhandy Rhoads - Guitar Bon Scott - Vocals John Bonham - Drums John Lennon - Vocals/Piano/Guitar George Harrison - Guitar Jim Morrison - Vocals Dime Bag Darrel - Guitars That'll do for now I think, I'll probably think of someone really important that I left out later on and slap myself, but I'll leave it at that Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: Thorned Rose on March 19, 2006, 02:44:44 PM This is rather obvious here people.
Shannon Hoon - Vocals (you just can't beat his singing from the deaceased people) Kurt Cobain on Lead guitar John Lennon on Songwriting and rhythum Jon Bonham on drums Cliff Burton on bass... That would be a awesome band Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: misterID on March 21, 2006, 12:17:12 AM Jeff Buckley - vocals
John Entwistle - bass Keith Moon - drums Hendrix - guitar Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: Genesis on March 21, 2006, 01:28:51 AM Kurt Cobain on Lead guitar Great selection... :P Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: Elrothiel on March 21, 2006, 05:34:37 PM Vocals: Freddie and Shannon doing a duet thingie, that would sound AWESOME!!!
Lead Guitar: Randy Rhoads, Jimi Hendrix, and Dimebag doin a trio Lynyrd Skynyrd thingie. Rhythm Guitar: Kurt Cobain... if he can actually tune his guitar correctly, and then not smash it up halfway through a song. Bass: Cliff Burton... or Sid Vicious... (if he can now actually play!) Drums: John Bonham. Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: Grouse on March 21, 2006, 05:39:28 PM Vocals - Freddie? :peace:
lead Guitar - Jimmy Hendrix Rhythm Guitar - John Lennon Bass - Cliff Burton Drums - John Bonham Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: metallex78 on March 21, 2006, 09:49:09 PM This is rather obvious here people. Shannon Hoon - Vocals (you just can't beat his singing from the deaceased people) Kurt Cobain on Lead guitar John Lennon on Songwriting and rhythum Jon Bonham on drums Cliff Burton on bass... That would be a awesome band Kurt could barely play rhythm guitar... :hihi: Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: axl_rose_700 on March 22, 2006, 07:03:14 AM John Entwistle Yup, that's why I picked him... he'll probably end up in every band.? Him and that Metallica guy? ;). Everyone else seemed to be struggling for a bass player! Good pick man! : ok: Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: Thorned Rose on March 22, 2006, 11:18:17 AM Kurt could barely play rhythm guitar... :hihi: So cliched and weak you are. The point wasn't "how great" he is... he has a style that no one else can do now. Him being in the band would give it some edge. Playing fast isn't the best man. Style is what he would bring to that group. Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: Sweet s on March 23, 2006, 03:53:03 AM Vocals: Freddie and Shannon doing a duet thingie, that would sound AWESOME!!!

Rhythm Guitar: Kurt Cobain... if he can actually tune his guitar correctly, and then not smash it up halfway through a song. Bass: Cliff Burton... or Sid Vicious... (if he can now actually play!) . Hell Yeah Sid ,I'm glas he got a mention I love him and I know He is Duffs Favorite :hihi: Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: Lithium on March 23, 2006, 09:57:40 AM The point wasn't "how great" he is... he has a style that no one else can do now.

Agreed.Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: Sparksry on March 23, 2006, 06:39:08 PM My Dream One would Have to Be
Johnny Cash - VOX Rhandy Roads - Lead Drums-??? So far thats all i have .... too bad cash and Randy roads are kinda opposite but Cash and Randy Still Rock The World :peace: Rock On :peace: Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: metallex78 on March 23, 2006, 09:51:43 PM So cliched and weak you are. The point wasn't "how great" he is... he has a style that no one else can do now. Him being in the band would give it some edge. Playing fast isn't the best man. Style is what he would bring to that group. Thanks for that ::) I'm not concerned about how fast he is (or was), just whether he can play lead guitar at all when he can barely play rhythm guitar, thats all. This of course is just my opinion. Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: Backslash on March 23, 2006, 10:10:12 PM I'd put Cobain writing lyrics. That's his strongest quality, in my opinion. Although, as far as deceased lyricists are concerned, I'd have to go with Lennon over him... maybe they could collaborate on a couple of songs. That would be sweet!
Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: Elrothiel on March 23, 2006, 10:27:58 PM Hmm...
as well as having the ones I put earlier, I'd have Mozart as the main writer for all the music! :peace: I've just been watching Amadeus so I got a bit inspired! :hihi: :P Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: Backslash on March 23, 2006, 10:29:12 PM Beethoven could kick Mozart's ass! :P
Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: Elrothiel on March 23, 2006, 10:36:30 PM No way man! Mozart could hear perfect music in his head and just write it down with no errors or need for corrections!
Mozart = old timey equivalent to Axl Beethoven = old timey equivalent to Scotty-boy. Salieri = old timey equivalent of Slash. :hihi: Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: Backslash on March 23, 2006, 10:49:01 PM haha... gotta love those forum arguments... Mozart vs. Beethoven! haha... I'd like to see Mozart make a press release about how Salieri said Beethoven was a phony. Then Beethoven freaks out and writes a stupid rebuttal on his website, insulting Mozart's wig and creativity.... :rofl: :rofl:
Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: Elrothiel on March 24, 2006, 01:16:21 PM :rofl:
And then Beethoven discovers that yes... he's tone deaf! (Actually that's fact. Beethoven was actually tone-deaf...) And then he checks into the Betty Ford clinic for his chronic crack addiction... :rofl: Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: Backslash on March 28, 2006, 01:04:00 PM I just thought of something with regards to our lack of dead bass players. Why didn't anyone think of Jaco Pastorius? He's done things with the bass that I wouldn't dream of.
Maybe I'll put him in a band with Frank Zappa, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Keith Moon. That would be one sick ensemble. Title: Re: Supergroups made up of deceased members Post by: Mr. Dick Purple on March 28, 2006, 03:16:53 PM Vocals: Freddie and Shannon doing a duet thingie, that would sound AWESOME!!! Lead Guitar: Randy Rhoads, Jimi Hendrix, and Dimebag doin a trio Lynyrd Skynyrd thingie. Rhythm Guitar: Kurt Cobain... if he can actually tune his guitar correctly, and then not smash it up halfway through a song. Bass: Cliff Burton... or Sid Vicious... (if he can now actually play!) Drums: John Bonham. I dont know if everything is clear with the thingie part :hihi: Anyway I think this would be it: Vocals: Freddie Guitars: Randy Rhoads Guitars: Steve Clark Bass: Cliff Burton Drums: Boham Piano: John Lennon Name of the group Def riot higness of Metallin |
