Best Rock band

Fcuk, I've had this argument with my drummer so many bloody times! For me though...

Drums- Vinnie Paul (Pantera/Damageplan) or Lars Ulrich. Cannot decide on that one, both blew me away first time I heard them. Sod it, Lars Ulrich.

Bass- Cliff Burton (Metallica, RIP) without a doubt. When they recruited him at one of his gigs, they didn't realise it was a bass player at first- they were looking around for who was playing a lead solo. Pulled like a motherfcuker with his fingers, never used fancy effects, and if I'm ever half the bassist he was I'd be the happiest man in the world.

Rhythm Guitar- Dimebag Darrell (Pantera/Damageplan, RIP)- WOW. The reason I play Deans. Absolutely immense, crushing riffs and cooler than penguin pi55. Tragic loss when he was shot on stage.

Lead Guitar- Slash (GNR/Velvet Revolver)- Who needs a tremolo bar to bend notes when you can just bend the guitar instead? 4th best guitarist ever? Behind Hendrix? Fcuk off, NME. Just got to see the Godfather solo he pulls off when playing live- not sure I've ever seen someone as at one with their axe as him.

Lead Guitar 2- Kerry King (Slayer)- awesome guitarist, even with 9lbs of nails round his arms. I was going to say Dave Mustaine but then this supergroup would only last about 5 minutes before everyone got pi55ed off with him and sacked it. I know that's three guitarists, but hell, it works ok for Maiden so it works ok for me.

Vocals- Rob Zombie- no question. Top voice, written some awesome (and downright bizarre) songs, and you know you'd always have the coolest videos and album covers out there.

And support acts? Rockbitch (for the stage show, nobody'd care about how bad the music was, and for those that did it'd only get better), Dumpy's Rusty Nuts, Misfits, Motorhead. Oh, and my band in there somewhere. After Rockbitch, to give us a fighting chance of sounding half decent.

My lineup

My lineup

This is a tough one as there are so many talented musicians out there but if i had to choose a lineup then this would be it.

Drummer:
This is a hard one as i am a drummer myself. The drummers that influenced me are Buddy Rich (RIP) with his big band orchestra, Keith moon of the Who (RIP), Nicko Mcbrain of Iron Maiden, Vinnie Paul of pantera/Rebel meets Rebel & Damageplan, Nick menza of Megadeth, and Tommy lee of motley crue. However all that said, my main influence and No 1 choice for drummer would have to be the GOD that is NEIL PEART of Rush (Say no more)

Guitars:
DIMEBAG DARRELL (RIP) of Pantera/Rebel meets Rebel/Damageplan, he is without a doubt the greatest metal guitarist that has ever lived. But as he is not alive then there can only be one other guitarist on the planet that could fill his shoes and that is ZAKK WYLDE of Black Label Society & Ozzy Osbourne. He simply pi*ses all over slash.

Bass:
STEVE HARRIS of Iron Maiden, He is the founder member of the Uk's biggest metal band and he take's no sh*t. watching him play is awesome as he commands the stage.

Vocals:
This is a hard one as there are alot of good vocals out there but when i really think about it the only one that could fit the job is ROB HALFORD of Judas Priest, his voice is amazing (just listen to Blood red skies if you dont believe me.

Oh and Mozart on Keys lol

And he's had to learn how to play the guitar again after he slept on his hand and cut off the blood supply!! He'll always be a squillion times better than me though. And he's discovered God !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some interesting combinations so far but here's my ultimate band:

Vocals - Glenn Hughes (just awesome and sings blues/rock like no other)
Lead Guitar - Randy Rhodes (an unbelievably skillful player)
Rythym Guitar - Malcolm Young (the unsung heart of AC/DC - there isn't a better man to do the job)
Bass - John Entwhistle (a given - there is no other bass player that can touch him)
Drums - Jason Bonham (has proven that he is as good as his old man, if not better)

There's so much I'd agree with on here but I haven't yet seen anyone mention:
Ronnie James Dio for vocals.
Who could possibly forget the early days of Rainbow (specifically Stargazer from 'Rainbow Rising', still puts chills up and down my spine) and even some of the Black Sabbath tunes. A midget with a massive voice IMO. :pDT_Xtremez_28:

And I would also throw in Randy California (Randy Wolfe) on guitar (at the age of 14 Jimi Hendrix plucked him out of anonymity but his mum wouldn't let him come to the UK 'cos she thought he was too young :D . And there is a rumour that Jimmy Page plagurised one of his songs when Page wrote Stairway to Heaven).

Tricky:

Lead guitar: Steven Stills / Joe Walsh / Clapton / Hendrix (??)
Drums: Keith Moon / Keith Forsey / Cosy Powell
Bass: Cheryl Crowe / Neil Murray / Timothy B Smidt (Eagles)
Keyboards: Allan Price / Georgy Fame / Jules Holland / Jimmy Smith (?)
Rhythm: Jimmy Messina / David Crosby


Naturally, there might be a problem with them playing together (not to mention the dead), but I think a decent combo could be made up.
