Best dead super group

[theclaud]

Your list is null and void TC. One's too old and anyway they're all jazz chappies which isn't proper music like country or rock and roll.

Yes but it's the best band on the thread by an order of magnitude. End of.

 

[theclaud]

The best in town...

...he'll do for any style!

Do keep up, Teef! Buddy is all very well, but for purposes of this thread gets trumped by the little-known Welsh drummer Dai Young.

 

[threebikesmcginty]

That prompted me to look him up on Wikipedia. I'd forgotten this quote:

when asked by a nurse if he was allergic to anything; he replied, "Yes, Country and Western music!"

The photo shows that the guy is clearly a fruit loop but that ridiculous quote just confirms it.

He was a big fan of Bike Radar too!


And there must be a joke about only the Rich Dai Young in there somewhere, but I fear I am out of my depthalotomy...

Bill's mention of Jimi Hendrix is top. He must feature in any supergroup. As for the catterwauling Janis Joplin - well, pierce my ears with uncooked spaghetti

I don't know much about Mozart but I know what I mozlike...and this thread is useless without pictures! (Except my bit, of course)

Lee Brilleaux
Phil Lynott
Moon the Loon

but I'm stumped for a lead guitarist for this uber Pub Band.

Any suggestions?

Stevie Ray Vaughan any good to you? He's available.

 

[threebikesmcginty]

You could have Robert Johnson if you want some old school blues guitar.

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Or Eddie Cochran

 

[slowmotion]

"He's available" Brilliantly put! He's certainly good, but maybe a bit too bluesy. Eddie Cochran I like.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

How about:

Guitar: Jimi Hendrix
Bass: Jaco Pastorius
Drums: Carlton Barrett (Wailers)
Harmonica: Keith Relf (Yardbirds)
Keyboards: Rob Collins (Charlatans)
Everything else: Chris Wood (Traffic)

And a revolving cast of vocalists including: Billy McKenzie (Associates), Sandy Dennis (Fairport Convention) and Bob Hite (Canned Heat)

Nick Drake you can't really put in a supergroup because he would be really miserable, and go off and do his own thing.

Yes. I don't think Nick Drake could possibly be described as a "team player".

 

[Yellow Fang]

Drums - Karen Carpenter

Guitar - Duane Allman

Bass - Sid Vicious

Vocals - Hank Williams

Do you think they'd all get on? I think there'd be some musical differences in that lot.

I tried to make it a varied selection

Supergroups are all about not getting on. I love this picture from the cover of 'Bongo Fury' - this is as cosy as Beefheart and Zappa got. The Captain baited Frank on stage and they did nothing but argue off it
The result, a classic!
