[bsp77]

I am using modern bands only, so that I don't have to worry about Jimmy Page or Jimi Hendrix or John Lennon.

Vocals, Harmonica : Bono
Vocals, Guitar: Thom Yorke (Radiohead)
Guitar: The Edge
Guitar: Johhny Greenwood (Radiohead)
Bass, Organ, Piano, Backing Vocals: Mike Mills (REM)
Drums: Carter Beauford (Dave Matthews Band)
Drums: Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Queens of the Stone Age album, new NIN album, some new heavy metal I can't think of)

I put in 2 drummers so they can switch off depending on the type of song, or maybe just play together sometimes.

Name? I don't know.

 

[Bonochick]

Vocals & Guitar: Ryan Adams
Drums: Animal

 

[barlowdog]

Bonochick

I'm getting the impression you really like Ryan Adams. That song Summer of 69 was pretty good. just kidding. I agree, Animal is a spectacular drummer.

My band (excluding the 4 guys in U2 as I think they work best together):


Thom Yorke: vocals, guitar, piano
Juliana Hatfield: guitar, vocals
Jonny Greenwood: guitar, other misc.
Lou Barlow: bass, vocals
drums: Brendan Canty

It's a band with numerous multi-instrumentalists and songwriters.
