Who would be in your ultimate band?...

Recommended Posts

For me, I would construct a band that fits within the genre or genres of music I like. Also, if the lead guitarist plays with a rhythm guitarist, I give him one. I also keep in mind of any conflicts between the members. I also try to keep my band diverse. Meaning they can play a wide range of songs both soft and heavy. Anyway, here is what my ultimate band would look like:

 

Vocals: Lajon Witherspoon (Sevendust)

Guitar: Adam Zadel (Soil)

Guitar: James Root (Slipknot / Stone Sour)

Bass: Marco Coti Zelati (Lacuna Coil)

Drums: Shannon Larkin (Godsmack)

 

Lajon just has such a wide range of vocals. He can sing soft, hard, low, high, he can sing it all. I believe he is the best singer in metal today. He's who I try to model my voice after.

 

Adam Zadel is like the perfect guitarist for me. I am really into Alternative Metal. He plays both rhythm and lead (mostly lead). He can play soft, hard, or acoustic. His solos just fit just right with the song.

 

James Root is the man. He too plays both rhythm and lead, but mostly rhythm. His riffs in Stone Sour are awesome. Just like Adam he can play both soft, hard, and acoustic.  I've only listened to a few Slipknot songs, but the ones I have the guitars are great.

 

Lacuna's bass always sounds great. Marco Coti Zelati really came out of his shell on the Karmacode album for Lacuna Coil. You can really hear the bass in that album and ever since then he's kept up the pace. He plays 5 string bass that he uses both a pic and his fingers.

 

Shannon Larkin. What can I say about him? He's freaking amazing on the drums. He can play double bass drums and single bass. He can play hard. He can play soft. He can play it all. Fantastic drummer.

i've seen all of these guys live except hendrix obviously.

 

they are incredible musicians and i think their styles would match well with each other.

I could make a band that consisted of dead people, but that would kinda make the dream null for me. I also had to narrow it down to my favorite genre. Otherwise, I'd have to make multiple lists for multiple genres since I like many guitarists and it would be hard for me to choose.

Perhaps later in his career yes, but 80s, early 90s he was on top of the world.

 

 

 

"Prior to forming Metallica, it has been said that Lars Ulrich had a small beginners kit that he never played, and James Hetfield originally did not want to jam with Ulrich due to the drummer's novice abilities."

So I guess James is a horrible frontman because he didn't want to sing and wanted someone else to do so.

 

Your logic and argument is flawed.  Just another bandwagon Ulrich-hater.

Being the weakest link in Metallica means nothing.  They are a once in a lifetime group.  The argument is flawed because saying he sucked when he was 18 means he never improved.  Much like saying Michael Jordan is horrible because he didn't make Varsity as a freshman, lol.

 

He's no drum god, but he's far from awful even at this stage in his life.

 

Also, the word competent and drummer should never go together...as a brain dead monkey could beat a drum with a stick. :D

 

Lars said it best himself, he was the best drummer in the world...to play behind James Hetfield's guitar.  No more, no less.  Late 80s though, he was metal's top drummer.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
