Your dream rock super group?

HELP, of course! Hendrix, Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Sadly we never got it.

Hi,

I was thinking that the late Vivian Stanshall would be the ultimate on vocals ... or shall we say "vibes"?

And we need a new version of "We're Normal" ... and we dig Burt Weenie! At least it won't be from the Marquis de Sade/Jean Paul Marat play ... where it was "we're normal, and we want our freedom". Too political for PA!!!

But for a band? Hmmm ... Tom Lehrer on vocals, of course (Poisoning Pigeons At The Park ... with music by Chicago)

The Clams for comedy effect and don't tell Tony Levin about it! Close To You, of course!

Spike Jones on brass arrangements and noises that can't be discussed on PA ... they are rude, unless done by RW! And Mike won't list them on his lists!

PDQ Bach on kazoos

Spike Milligan walking backwards for Christmas with socks full of custaaaaard!

That Kovacs guy on video is an absolute must, so it can be shown on the toob and on the old MTV ... the milk will run sideways! Or maybe upwards!

Has to be 2 guys to start with
Keith Emerson - Keys
Richie Blackmore - Guitars

After that I'm not sure what I would want. If we are goimg full on 'rock' then
John Bonham - Drums
John Entwistle - Bass

Vocals could be any number of guys. I'm not so bothered and there is no band I love just for vocals. I do like John Wetton a lot but maybe I might go for a weird left field choice such as Bryan Ferry but neither are heavy enough. Perhaps Ozzy Osbourne at his peak but I think I would utlimately plump for Ian Gillan. Great set of pipes and an excellent range. So

Ian Gillan - Vocals
Ritchie Blackmore - Guitars
Keith Emerson - Keys
John Entwistle - Bass
John Bonham - Drums

yep think I've nailed it!

Jazz/Fusion/Prog/Instrumental Band

Stanley Clarke:     Bass
Bill Bruford :        Drums
Patrick Moraz:      Keyboards
Trevor Rabin:        Guitar

That would be cool.

^ That looks like an A-Team with Dirk Benedict in the line-up.

It won't be a supergroup till you add Barbara Dennerlein on Hammond and Jan Hammer on Rhodes and synths.
