You create the band...
 

Alright, a little game here for the music thread. Create a band of any musician, living or dead, 5 people max. Give the band a name. See what crazy concoctions we can get going here.

I'll go first:

Ludwig van Beethoven: Piano
Jimi Hendrix: Guitars/Vocals
Nick Drake: Acoustic
Danny Carey: Drums
Lou Reed: Vocals

I'd call it "Last Years Champions"

Your turn!

You forgot the bassist man.

Maynard - Vocals
Chantal Kreviazuk - Vocals / Piano (and she's hot)
Rhodes - Lead Guit
Hetfield - Rhythm (he was damn good back in the day)
Pert - Drums

Man.. I can't decide on bassist. I have so many heros. My first hero is and always will be Cliff Burton. Then there's Duff from GnR. Wooten, Claypool, Hamm. The list goes on.

All of the above pursue their musical trade with such feeling and emotion. I never got to see Rhodes play, but watching the vids nearly brings a tear to my eye. Watching Chantal play / sing, however, DOES bring a tear to my eye.

Edit: I play bass, just in case y'all are wonderin. Which I am sure you're not.

Lead Guitar: John Petrucci
Lead Vocals, backing guitar: Daniel Gildenlow
Drums: Mike Portnoy
Bass: Jaco

I think that would be pretty interesting to hear

Vox: Scott Stapp
Guitar: Noel Gallagher
Bass: Sam Rivers
Drums: Meg White

I'd call 'em "Worst Band Evar (or atleast close)"

:)

Vocalist: Shirley Manson
Lead guitar: Andres Segovia
Bass: Fieldy from KoRn
Drums: Ygnwie Malmsteen (hehehe)
Backup guitar: Rusty Cooley

That is one seriously bizarre mix of people playing in a band.

I know. Chopin is better, and not deaf either.

I think I could have put Dr. Dre in for Lou Reed and been alright too.
