Cream

[Captain BJ]

No, not another topic about giving Paul head... I'm referring to the band...

There really hasn't been a 'supergroup' since Cream. If there was going to be one, who could be in it?

I'd definitely give Dave Grohl a run somewhere. Obviously. But think, there's so many different styles you could base it on... Imagine, for a moment:

Vocals: Mike Patton (Faith No More) and Alicia Keys
Lead guitar: Paul Dempsey (SFK)
Rhythm guitar: Stone Gossard (Pearl Jam)
Bass guitar: The guy from Radiohead, forget his name
Piano/keyboard: Ben Folds
Turntables: (Both of the) Chemical Brothers
Drums: Dave Grohl (Nirvana/Foo Fighters)

And the all-Australian lineup:

Vocals: Alex Lloyd
L Guitar: Paul Dempsey
R Guitar: Tim Rodgers (You Am I)
Bass: Lex can't remember his name from Frenzal Rhomb (I love the bass intro to Punch in the Face)
Piano: Tim Freedman
Turntables: one or two from the Avalanches or Resin Dogs
Drums: Kram (Spiderbait)

I'm thinking of the band as a whole, and I thought Kram would be good cause he can also sing if need be... Tim and Paul would mesh well. And in the World band, I went with Patton cause he can sing so many different styles, he can sing slow, fast, rap, very versatile. Love it. I put Dave Grohl in at drums but I could easily move him to R guitar and maybe have Lars Ulrich from Metallica at drums. Shit I'm talking about it like it's a footy team!

Of course you could put Clint and Steph in but I didn't want to be too predictable.

I meant to post this in the non-SFK board, but if everyone mentions SFK at least once in their post then we'll allow it  ;D

[singingcirclesaway]

got me all excited for nothing.

I'd put paul as vocals on the aussie all stars as he has a better voice than Alex  

I like your suggestion for alicia keys & mike patton as vocalists for the world team (would work well!!).

I'd be hard to beat Cream though - they were pretty special combo with eric on lead, ginger on drums and that other bloke (what's his name?)

[larry emdur is my hero!]

Throw Dempsey and Corgan togethor to write the songs, Ryan Adams to perform and ill be a happy chappy
or perhaps
Mike Patton with the remaining members of INXS, that'd be my supergroup - this from Beat magazine:

Mike Patton of Tomahawk/ Faith No More fame told the “Herald Sun” that he had been invited by INXS to guest step into Michael Hutchence’s shoes. He told Neala Johnson, “Well, bless their hearts, they got the wrong guy. It didn’t take a lot of smarts to avoid that train wreck.” And if he’d accepted, how would life have changed? “I’d probably be on some talk show in America right now, like ‘Jerry Springer’, talking about how I murdered them all in an alley one night in Chicago.”<br>

What's the story with this Ryan Adams? (seems bigger than sliced bread). Is this part of slim dusty's cunning plan to realise the 200th album long after he has dearly departed (case of the body snatchers?)?  ;D
sfk are big fans - q is, will the next album be country or western?
