Make up a band with any musicians of your choice, preferably from the same era. The trick here is not to just choose a bunch of virtuosos, but musicians that would sound great and work together well. It dosen't have to be 100% prog. Then describe what the band would sound like. Guitar: Syd Barrett
Guitar: Jimi Hendirx
Drums and Percussion: Robert Wyatt
Bass: Richard Sinclair
Keys: Dave Stewart
It would actually be likely for this band to exist, since all the musicians are connected somehow. Hendrix was close to The Soft Machine who were close to Floyd and the other Canterbury dudes. Very intresting combination of Barrett's space rock, Hendrix psychedelic blues, and Canterbury. But I could see it work. Barrett would lead the band and share singing roles with Wyatt and Sinclair. Hendirx would focus on guitar and being awesome. -------------

I think I cannot reply, cause I like virtuosos, what can I do??
 Vocal: Daniel Gildenlow
Guitar: John Petrucci (vocal 2)
Drums and Percussion: Mike Portnoy (what can I do? these two dudes always play together!) (vocal 3)
Bass: Pete Travawas
Guitar: Steve Morse ------------- http://img360.imageshack.us/my.php?image=spmiw7.jpg">

That's cheating.
 Here's another one:
Les Claypool: Bass/ volcals
John Theodore: Drums
Steven Wilson: Guitar/vocals
Adrian Belew: Guitar/vocals
It would end up sounding like funk-prog-metal. -------------

O RLY?  And to answer Mickey's question: Vocals: Frank Zappa, Adrian Belew, Terry Bozzio Guitars: Adrian Belew, Frank Zappa Bass: Patrick O'Hearn Drums: Terry Bozzio, Ed Mann (Percussion) Keyboards: Tommy Mars, Peter Wolf Oh, that line up has happened? Then maybe this: Guitars: Alex Lifeson Bass: Patrick O'Hearn Drums: Terry Bozzio Keyboards: Mark Kelly Vocals: Fish Who knows what this group would sound like? Obvious Zappa, Rush, and Marillion influences would be prevalent, as well as a strong rhythm unit in Bozzio and O'Hearn, who could provide a tight groove during a cool improv duel between Kelly and Lifeson. It would be very interesting to hear a group like this play, though. -------------

Vocals: Wayne Coyne (The Flaming Lips) Guitar: Adam Jones (Tool) Guitar: Robert Fripp Bass: Les Claypool Keys: Jordan Rudess Percussion: Neil Peart OR! Vocals and Guitar: Claudio Sanchez (Coheed and Cambria) Guitar: Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (The Mars Volta) Guitar: Mikael Akerfeldt Bass: John Myung Keys: Tomas Bodin Percussion: Mike Portnoy Yeah....these would surely be sweet!!

'Kay, I make a point of making a different band every time this comes up, so I think I'll make my first one without Rick Wakeman. GIANT CRIMSON GENERATOR
Lead Vocals: Peter Hammill
Guitars: Robert Fripp and Gary Green
Keys/Cello/Vocals: Kerry Minnear
Reeds: David Jackson and Phil Shulman
Violin: David Cross
Bass: Tony Levin
Drums: Bill Bruford
It'd be crazy. Hammill would write lyrics and some music. He'd provide much of the "freakout factor", and would give an element of raw emotion. Fripp and Green would work kind of like Fripp and Belew did, and Green's dynamic soloing would add some energy. Fripp'd do crazy rythmic conundrums and use lots of effects. He'd also do lots of songwriting. Kerry would handle keyboards much like in GG, and his tendency to use lots of clavinet would add a bit of a funk feel. Jackson and P. Shulman would be cool to see on stage togather simply because they're completely different. The polar opposite factor would be kinda cool. Cross would be the "calmness" at the eye of the hurricane. And as for Levin and Bruford, well, they'd provide more of the best rhythm section ever!!!
Just a passing thought, maybe it'd be crap. But it just might work.

From the same era, eh?
I won't do the obvious and choose all the great artists from the '70s.
Instead, how about:
Roine Stolt - guitar/vocals
Yogi Lang - vocals/keyboards/guitar
Fred Schendel - keyboards/backing vocals
Dave Meros (I hope that's his name, the Spock's Beard bassist?) bass
Gavin Harrison - drums
And the music? I suspect it would be 24 carat symphonic prog (even though Harrison and Lang don't play in symphonic bands) with some powerful guitar/keyboard interplay and some great epics.

Lead Vocals - Peter Gabriel Lead Guitar: Backing/lead Vocals - David Gilmour 2nd Guitar - Alex Lifeson Bass - Geddy Lee Keyboards/Synths/Mellotron - Rick Wakeman Drums/Percussion: Neil Peart Name of the band would be "Rubycon Sunrise" In my ideal setting they would beable to work together to make incredible music.. Obviously all this was impossible. So its just my dream. I decided to go with Geddy, because the more I think about it. Roger Waters would not be willing to share power with the rest of the band. They all have egos to an extent, but none as great as Roger. Neil Peart, and Peter Gabriel would do the bulk of the lyric writing David, Rick, Alex, and Geddy would focus on the music. My only other worry is that Im not sure how David would take Peters onstage antics, the costumes etc. Hes a pretty big no-nonsense guy, so he might not deal with that well. ------------- Bright Ambassadors of Morning |

How about this line-up: Christian Vander (drums and vocals) Roman Bunka (sadly very little known excellent guitar player) - guitar and oud Barbara Dennerlein - organ No bass needed; Barbara Dennerlein would provide the bass with the foot pedals of her organ (her technique with the bass pedals is unsurpassed). I can imagine them playing some excellent fusion trio work (Vander plays traditional jazz when he is not playing with Magma, by the way; we have an album of his jazz trio). -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

Alright, I might as well take a shot (though basically no one reads these, but it's a nice mental exercise) Percussion: Bill Bruford Flute/Arranging: Ian Anderson Guitar: John Mclaughlin Keys: Rick Wakeman Bass Guitar: Tony Levin Lead Vocals: Richard Sinclair Production: Brian Eno And to make things interesting, an explanation for why this group: First of all, I want a thorough mix of jazz and classical influences. This is why I have combined some jazzier types (such as Bruford and Mclaughlin) with some more classically-influenced musicians (Wakeman and Anderson). For a bassist I was thinking we need someone very solid without too many flourishes - so I picked Tony Levin, who can distinguish himself with the Chapman Stick. I picked Sinclair as the lead vocalist because, in my opinion, he has one of the most accessible voices in progressive music. And to keep all these ambitious musicians in line, I picked Eno as a producer - he'll keep things nice and sweet, maybe add in some background ambience on certain tracks. And for a name, they are to be called: Yethro Crimson Orchestravan. Their first album will be called: In the Mounting Flame of a Passion Pink Edge. ------------- Go and listen to my music. http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31725 |

Though this could never work - Wakeman would walk out as soon as he saw Omar - here's my dream team:
John Wetton - Vocals/Bass? (King Crimson) Robert Fripp - Guitar/Mellotron (King Crimson) Omar A Rodriguez-Lopez - Guitar/Writing/Production (The Mars Volta) Rick Wakeman - Keyboards (Yes) Chris Squire - Bass/Vocals? (Yes) Jon Theodore - Drums (The Mars Volta) Robbie Steinhardt - Violin/Cello (Kansas) What they would sound like... Larks' Tongues on drugs. Crazy, punk-influenced drugs, with keyboards and violins going everywhere. It would be awesome. |

I tihnk this would be interesting
Derek Sharinian John Myung
Danny Carey
I tihnk it with Dereks awesome writing, and the simplisity of a trio would give Myung a lot of room to really play to his ability, unlike he does in DT. and Carey's just awesome, and will really lock it in there, and not take away from the other two. ------------- I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t. -Stone Beard |
