Conquer Club

re animate a maximum of five dead musicians to form a group, who would they be?

Are we counting drummers as musicians?

John Bonham(Led Zep) - drums
Cliff Burton(Metallica) - bass
Kurt Cobain(i forget) - rhythm guitar
Jeff Hanneman(Slayer) - lead guitar
Layne Staley(Alice in Chains) - vocals

i'd pay $50 to see that shit.

yes sym, drummers count.

also, feel free to name your post mortem supergroup.

George Michael- vocals (the bad boy)
Freddie Mercury- vocals (the talent)
Stephen Gately- vocals (the cute one)
Liberace- vocals and piano (the one that might be gay)
and whomever llama picked as a drummer

Freddy Mercury on vocals
Frank Zappa on lead guitar
Keith Moon on drums
Keith Emerson on keyboards

The fifth spot is so difficult. So many great choices. John Entwistle on bass? Duane Allman on guitars? Maybe David Bowie... we already know his voice pairs off great with Freddy's, he can play something like 30 instruments, and writes as well. And then Gram Parson, another versatile multi-instrumentalist that can also write and sing. Well, looking it all over, it has to be Bowie. Duane and Gram can join if you'll give me 7 spots, and John if I can get 8...

yeah, gram was pretty darn good.

Taking it more seriously:

Billie Holliday- vocals
Mick Jagger- vocals
Jimi Hendrix- guitar
John Entwistle- bass guitar
Thelonius Monk- keys

Session players for anything else.

Mick Jagger's not dead, even if he does look like it some days.

Hah- good call, hmm, will have to think of someone to replace him. Someone with a good rock pedigree, but with a blues background. Any ideas? Chuck Berry, maybe?

I think it's fair to count any Stones' member as dead. I mean, they've all been half dead for decades, pretty much...

Bob Marley
Israel Kamakawiwoʻole
Hendrix
Ronnie Van Zant
Randy Castillo

Be an interesting mix

Interestingly, they recently released a blues rock album. Haven't listened to it yet, but I've heard some good things.

That would be boss. The Randy Rasta Crooners.

Hell yeah baby....a whole new genre.....imagine their weed bill....lol.

ITT someone forms several bands with no drummer. Seems unfamiliar with Led Zepplin. Also is slightly confused about old versus dead.

I'm considering, Keith Moon, Jimi Hendricks, Freddie Murcury and James Jamerson.

In reality I'd probably lean toward just getting more of the funk brothers since their track record is so solid.

You should watch Spinal Tap, and learn to spell.

This is not spinal tap.

This is anal tap.
