The Ultimate Band

Michael Mitchell said:Radiohead

I'm with you on that
honestly, same here

🙏all hail Radiohead 🙏

I hear they're solid...😁

The one from Big Black? Man, that thing will tear the house down! 😁

The guy’s been everywhere, playing with everyone from Donna Summer to Sisters of Mercy.
He’s just one of those versatile musicians who always seems to find a way to fit in perfectly.😉

some Roland drum machine
two Akai samplers
a Korg MS2000
plus some pathetic bassist playing a no-name rig but he’s gotta have a Bass Microsynth
that's the whole "band" setup. just one guy

A one-man show would probably be someone like Aphex Twin (or Roni Size, if you're into that kind of thing)
I suppose if you're looking for more of a traditional band vibe, maybe Radiohead or Incubus—back before they released Make Yourself

Man, why stop there? Just throw some Roni Size on the turntable
and a whole damn big band
an entire symphony orchestra
a harp
and like 79 flutes

Drums: Jack Irons
Bass: Jeff Ament
Guitar: John Frusciante
Vocals: Scott Weiland
This lineup could actually work...

I'm assuming he's the one who played on that WHY track.
That whole thing just feels... I don't even know... 🎉 👋 :clapping: 👋 :clapping:

Heh... you're out of your mind, man. Truly...😁

That's the whole "band" right there. Just one guy and his gear.

William Doyle2 said:haha... you're out of your mind, man. seriously.😁

I mean, that first album? It's a total punk classic.

velvetbadger82 said:Yeah, that first album is a straight-up punk classic.

I get that, but if I recall correctly, you’re all about that "preemptive strike" approach when it comes to neo-Nazis; basically, crush them first and ask questions later... yet here you are, wanting to put the founders of Blood & Honour in your dream lineup...

facts. 😁 more people.. more drama...

Check out the big band from the national public radio station.
It’s wild how they all click so well together, and honestly, their music actually holds up too.😬

Radiohead.

If I can't pull anyone from their lineup—which, let's be honest, is absolutely flawless—then this is my fallback:

1. Guitar: Jimi Hendrix
2. Guitar: Jack White
Bass: Flea
Drums: Dave Grohl
Vocals: Either the guy from Strokes or maybe that old man from Pink Floyd

And if we need some keys in the mix, then Jools Holland. 😛

Back during the All Skrewed Up days, he wasn't even a Nazi yet.

Look, even if he hadn't written lyrics for The Cure - The Snakepit, that doesn't automatically make him some saint, does it? 😉

np The Cure - The Snakepit

velvetbadger82 said:Back when All Skrewed Up was around, even he wasn't into that Nazi stuff yet.

Exactly. It's like how Thompson isn't some nationalist while he's singing 'I Drink, My Soul'!

Just kidding, man. Put whoever you want in the band...😁

Maybe he wasn't a great guy, but this thread is perfect for finding the right band. Personally, I’d pick them for the vocals, not for their charming personalities.

vocals - rafo & shkoro
dramz - pishta
bass - tiho orlich
guitar - they don't even need one🙂
