Instead of all-time best baseball team which guys sit around and do here's the best dead guys rock band:

Singer: Jim Morrison
Lead Guitar: Jimi
Rythem Guitar: J Lennon
Harmonica: Paul Butterfield
Drums: J Bonham

Wanted: dead Bass player (not Jaco...doesn't count...he's too good)
and dead keyboardest.

(place want ad in cemetary)
 
LOL

NICE first post...

Personally, I would put Jeff Buckley in for vocalist, but Morrison could come in off the bench every now and then.
 
Let's put Kieth Moon behind the drum kit and Jimi can tag team guitar with Stevie Ray.......
 
We could have Berry Oakley and Allen Woody play bass. Or maybe Paul McCartney? Oh, that's right, he wasn't really dead.

Personally I'd love to hear Jimi jam with Jaco and, oh, say Tony Williams.
 
Well if we're gonna have SRV then Jimi's out and Duane Allman is in. Isn't Bill Wyman almost dead already? He could anchor down the bassment duties.

Whoa Nellie.....now we got the world's greatest dead guy blues band. We should easily make the playoffs.

As for Keith Moon, He's got a drinking problem. Could be a disruption.

Yo hey....

you're changing the rules. The band has to be completely dead, pronounced and certified by a coroner. Your guys are ALMOST dead. They can't play yet. (Can we get J Beck with Rod together in a future deal? I'll trade Marvin Gaye and $500,000 signing bonus)

I still dunno about Jaco.....temper problem. Could get Bon Bon riled up.

Had to post this:

A sax player dies and goes to the Pearly Gates. St Peter says "sorry, too much partying, you have to go to the other place ". The elevator doors open and he goes into a huge bar. All the greatest are on stage on a break. He goes over to Charlie Parker and says "Hey this can't be Hell. All the best are playing here. Charlie says "Hey man, Karen Carpenter is on drums!"

peace.
 
Need some acoustic guitar

Lets throw Michael Hedges in there for some realy cool acoustic sounds

Peace
Joe
 
Ladys and gentlemen, the Rolling Stones live, and Keith
Richards.

Best dead keyboardist in my all-star band

Bay-Tovin

Totally non-heinous dude.
Check him out in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
And I live near San Dimas
I'll have my agents pick him up tomorrow
 
Hey, as an addition to that "almost dead" or "dead looking" band that dragonworks mentioned, Ginger Baker needs to sit in on the skins.

As far as the certified dead band, I think all the suggestions are great, but all of those egos (even dead) will surely clash. We need to add someone who can write really good songs who doesn't want the spotlight to be the main songwriter. Hmmm. A dead songwriter with stagefright...

Oh - Nick Drake!

and Randy Rhoads has to take a solo or two. Shit, Kevin Gilbert needs to jam with them too. And Tommy Tedesco and Joe Pass need to sit in on some jazz stuff and...I guess Michael Hutchence could make a brief appearance, but only if Cobain is done with his somber set and Elvis - gotta have Elvis doing something - Oh Elvis and Jerry Garcia can sample all the drugs before distributing them among bandmates and... the bass player for The Cars - he can sing "Drive" and...

Okay, I'm done.

Come on now. Do you know what this does to our payroll? Who's gonna pay for all these guys... Ted Turner??? George Steinbrenner??? Rupert Murdoch???
We could replace everyone of them with 1 guy...Beethoven (see prior post)

For the ALMOST dead band, Bob Dylan vocals

For low maintenance low ego dead bad leader hmmmmm.............................I got it. Jim Croce. He could write songs for the OTHER Jimi

Aweright we'll give you a Rolling Stone:

Brian Jones- FLUTE and SWIMMING INSTRUCTOR
 
Here's a rock/metal band that would kick everything out of the water.

Vocals - Bon Scott
Guitars - Randy Rhoads
Bass - Cliff Burton
Drums - John Bonham

The best rock singer ever, the best guitarist ever (Jimi WHO?), one of the coolest bassist to walk the earth and a rock drummer of rank.
 
Xipe
Jimi is more revered for his creativity than his technique. Before Jimi came along everything played on
an electric guitar was basically taken from acoustic and played on an electric . I've listened to Randy Rhodes alot and allthough he is very good I havent heard him play anything different, he could be any one of a dozen metal guitarists I listen to.
 
Cliff Burton would be obligatory in any dead dude metal combo.....
 
I saw Shane MacGowan a year and a half ago. We can definitely put him in the re-animated cata-gory.

What about Graham Parsons on Vocals?
