If you could mix and match members of bands, who would you combine to create the ultimate super-group?

My fantasy pick: Mike Patton (Mr. Bungle, Faith No More) on vocals, Tom Morello (RATM, Audioslave) and Slash (G'N'R, Slash's Snake Pit, Reloaded) on guitar, Jason Newstead (Flotsam & Jetsam, Metallica) on bass, and Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana, etc.) on drums.

As for good group reworkings here in the real world, I think Reloaded will be a good group if they can get off the ground and keep Scott Weiland off the happy juice.

Your thoughts?

NoCure

Vocals - Kurt Cobain
Guitar - Tom Morello and Ted Nugent
Bass - Cliff Burton
Drums - Dave Grohl

If they have to be living then Vocals would be Sully (Godsmack) and Bass would be Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers)

*laugh* I don't think I could listen to that music. Bjork's name has been added to my vernacular as a synonym (AND onomatopoeia) for "barf".

(But don't mistake that as any reflection of my thoughts about you. I appreciate your opinion as much as everyone else's. )

Now THERE'S something I hadn't thought about. I love Pete's voice, though. He'd probably be a good fit in my band with Mike Patton. High and energetic, and low and lustful. Good thought!

OK, I was gonna post my usual smart-ass remark about the All-star Dead Band, but I had a random thought (as I get older, I have a LOT of those; it's starting to scare me.) When the original "Blues Brothers" movie came out, I was thrilled by the music (the movie was OK. just OK) It was a treat to watch the great R&B artists playing roles in the film, because I've been a huge blues fan for YEARS; I know that R&B and Blues are different genres, but most of the really great bluesmen (and -women) had died before that film was made, so good R&B is a logical second choice. Anyway, I'm babbling here, but I'm coming to a point about dream super-groups- don't rush me!! When I heard that "Blues Brothers 2000" was being made, I kinda cringed; the Blues Brothers without John Belushi seemed pretty lame (and it was; the story SUCKED!) But the super-group in that film was a DREAM!! The "Louisiana Gator Boys" was probably the best musical group that could have been assembled ANYWHERE at that time; some of the greatest musicians alive participated, and I got goose-bumps watching the film the first time. If you've blown off the movie as lightweight, WATCH IT!! There's a real good possibility that nothing like it will ever happen again.
And that's my dream super-group.

ah, messed up, here it goes again....

vocals: Jim Morrison
guitars: Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton (sure, they can back-up too)
bass: Flea (that'd be an interesting mix)
drums: John Bonham

rogue49

vocals & guitar: Wes Scantlin (Puddle of Mudd)
lead guitar: Slash
bass: Flea
drums & vocals: Dave Grohl

you've got two vocals in Wes & Dave
Wes has got the range, and the power too.
Wes, Flea & Dave all make the songs
Slash has song guidance from the other creators so he can just focus on riffs.
Flea has got the meanest bass around.
Energy & talent galore that brings different styles together,
but compliments each other and would produce kick ass rock.

You know there got to be some type of TV show in this concept.

WyldeaboutZakk

Vocals - Phil Anselmo (Pantera, Down, Superjoint Ritual)

Most fantasy bands aren't that great in real life. Travelling Wilburys immediately comes to mind. The only one that was moderately successful was Blind Faith, and that was a single album.
