Thread: Customize a super-group.

Make a super-group that you think could go against the devil in a rock-off and win. Include what bands they're with, in case someone doesn't know them by their name. (Tenacious D inspired? Yes)

Make your band as big or small as you want.

Lead Vocals: Cedric Bixler-Zavala (The Mars Volta, At The Drive-In)
Lead Guitar: Claudio Sanchez (Coheed & Cambria)
Rhythm Guitar: David Gilmour (Pink Floyd)
Bass:Tim Commerford (Rage against the Machine)
Drums: Brann Dailor (Mastodon)

Singer: Eric Bourdon (The Animals, War)
Drums: Neil Peart (Rush)
Song Writer: David Gilmour (Pink Floyd)
Lead Guitar: Alex Lifeson (Rush)
Bass: John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin)

Vocals: Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs)
Guitar: Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth)
Bass: Jesse F. Keeler (Death From Above 1979)
Drums: Danny Carey (Tool)
Synths: Protector and Silenius (Summoning)

Fidoll, I can't agree with the drummer for Mastodon. I like the rest of your band, but given the kind of slower sound you would get from Claudio and Gilmour, I think he's entirely the wrong choice. But I like your line up.

What about Mike Kinsella (American Football, Joan of Arc, Owen, Cap'n Jazz)?

I like it. The only problem with Dailor is how fucking intense he is compared to everyone else. It would be a super trippy band, anyway, though. I'd definitely listen to them.

Putting Gilmour on rhythm guitar is fucking retarded. He's a lead guitarist. If he isn't in your band to play lead, don't put him in your band. What a fucking waste.

edit: Unless you cleverly placed him there because you want him writing music. In which case, you ought to specify Gilmour circa 1970.

edit edit: 1970 and playing lead guitar, you idiot.

Gilmour played rhythm and lead guitar when under Pink Floyd.

YOU'RE fucking retarded.

I'm aware he played rhythm guitar. He's still a lead guitarist. My main point is it's a waste.

It's like in Coheed & Cambria.

Yes Travis plays rhythm guitar, but he still gets solos and often has better riffs than the lead.

case&point

I guess what really offended me about it was that you put Pink Floyd members into "supergroups" with the likes of Coheed & Cambria and whatever other emo music you listen to.

What about them is it you think is emo? The vocals? (which granted is the easiest [and lowest] way to attack)

And if you're going to play the *Insert song here* sounds emo card, I'll show you about 30 more that don't sound emo.

All I'm saying is that just because an emo band rips off Rush a lot doesn't mean they're not emo.

Dead guy from that band from the 70's
Guy from newer band that quit because he was too cool
Guy from 90's who's obviously done with music but can't see that himself

SICK

Tupac.

Nick Mason – drums, percussion

Thread over.

And did Fidoll just compare the roles of guitarists in Coheed and Cambria to that of Pink Floyd?

Okay the whole "concept band" idea is I guess new and innovative and some of the music and story isn't horrible and whatnot but lets go ahead and recognize right now that without pioneers like The Beatles and Pink Floyd, the concept album is a meaningless term, much less the "concept band."

Go read a graphic novel.

Well since coheed acknowledges these bands as their influences they never did claim to invent it.

And I wasn't comparing Pink Floyd and Coheed, I was saying that Coheed's rhythm guitarists isn't cornered to JUST rhythm guitar.

Nah, man, I can't see that ever working. I mean, it's an alright combination in theory, but you can tell you're a novice at this.
Keep trying though!

Ok maybe this one will be better. This is also off the top of my head.

Jimmy Page (guitar)
Robert Plant (vocals)
John Paul Jones (bass guitar, keyboards)
John Bonham (drums)

Well I mean Jack Johnson is pretty emo

No Jack Johnson is a Hawaiian faggot there's a difference okay

Hawaiian faggot emo just sayin

Didn't VH1 try something like this and fail horribly.

VH1 fails at everything except Popup Video

Pop in to POP UP VIDEO.

They did some good stuff to the videos from the 80s, you have to admit.

I used to get my useless trivia from that show.

Jack Johnson sounds the same in all respects.
