Can I swap rhythm guitar for organ?

Blimey this old chestnut, I'm going to go for a lineup without the usual Page, Clapton, Hendrix additions

1:Paul Rodgers

2: Joe Bonamassa

3: Rory Gallagher

4: John Deacon

5: Kenny Jones

+ Keith Emmerson on the piano/organ when required

Rodgers vocals would work wonders with Bonamassa's playing (see Joe's cover of seagull) Of Course Joe and Rory could switch it up between themselves as to lead and rhythm, playing over some of Deacons prominent bass lines that he used to come up with, plus playing two guitarists like Rory and Joe would give him more room to experiment, Kenny Jones holding it all together in the back with Emmerson to be used when needed.

I like this pick, he's really underrated. 20 times the singer someone like Axel Rose is. He's also quite versatile.

Come on man, I'm not opposed to this every now and again, the organ I'm not a fan of but hey I'm not the creative force behind the band am I

 

I like the nice brush drumming.

Classic Rock...

Drums: Bill Ward (Not many people are gonna hit the kit as hard as Bill)

Bass: John Entwisted (I was very tempted to go for Gezzer though)

Rhythm: Neil Young (I just want him in the band)

Lead: Jimi (as if it could be anyone else)

Lead Singer: Janis Joplin (was tempted to go Grace Slick, but Janis edges is on power of voice)

Alt Rock...

Dave Grohl (please stop writing dull Dad rock, and get back behind a drum kit!)

Bass: Kim Deal (It was gonna be her or Kim Gordon. You gotta have a Kim playing bass in an alt rock band)

Rhythm: Spiral Stairs (the glue that held Pavement together)

Lead: J Mascis (guitar solos that could melt your face)

Lead Singer: Kurt Cobain (just has to be him)

That's it for now, but I'm sure I'll return with a few more contributions.

1. Lead Vocalist - As it's a rock band I'm putting together I think it needs to be more than just about the vocals , so based on presence he'd give and not just vocals  , I'm going with Jim Morrison , I reckon he could deliver in a rock band , some of his Doors vocals were pretty powerful

2. Rhythm Guitar - Would have said Chuck Berry , but I'm not sure he'd suit my band , ditto Hendrix  , so the nod goes to Johhny Marr

3. Lead Guitar - Stuart Adamson - The White Hendrix as John Peel once described him , he's not flashy so wont win those boring predictable polls that always contain the same boring names , but boy he could play   

4. Bass - Peter Hook - to give my band that distinctive sound

5. Drums - Can't go beyond Keith Moon , has their ever been a better rock drummer ?

 

so there you go .. tickets for the gig go on sale via Ticketmaster at 09:00 on Monday and will be available for 6 times the price on our sister website ripyouoffbecausewecan.com  at 09:01 on Monday

Drums: Meg White (yeah, suck it up, she invests in it without going all show boat, don’t want a Keith moon show boater in this version of the band, there'll be an overblown version along later)
Bass: Norman Watt Roy (to give it some dirty funky punk)
Guitar: Prince (just part of the band, supporting guitar Prince, supporting guitar, keep a lid on it until the last tune)
Vocals: Debbie Harry & Brother Culture 

That's my 5 piece. 

I shall start writing some songs.
