I love to day dream. I excel at it. It’s how I got through 3rd, 7th, 10th grade and being 20. One of my favorite day dreams is creating my ultimate musical super group. Another is beating up a life-size version of my grandfather made up rocky road ice cream (don’t ask). Now I’m keeping this a fairly basic setup for a band but that’s just what’s in my head. So, for your amusement, I offer you my own, personal musical supergroup. :


Guitar: Johnny Marr (The Smiths)



In my ever so humble opinion, Johnny Marr is one of the greatest guitarists of all time and is THE greatest pop guitarist ever. I’ve had too many conversations with people that disagree with me on this because he didn’t “shred” or whatever it is that guitarists do when they noodle up and down the fret like they are trying to seduce a humming bird with noise. No, none of that. What he did do was create some of the most complex, robust sounds in pop music and gave a generation of kids wanting to form a band a guitar idol.


Bassist: Les Claypool (Primus)



Les Claypool, you weird, magnificent bastard, you make the bass sound like what I imagine heroin withdrawal feel like in the best way possible.


Drummer: Keith Moon (The Who, Muppets)



'Nuff Said


Singer: Tina Turner (Ike and Tina, Mad Max)



Tina Turner. Tina Fucking Turner. What an amazing woman. Tough as nails, sexy as hell, and able to punch holes in time and space with her voice. Plus, she was the Acid Queen in Tommy and Aunty Entity in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. That cannot be fucked with. Cause if you try, Master Blaster will show up and ruin you.


Keyboardist: Max Rebo



Blue Hell Elephant with Donkey features. Plus, he's my favorite Star Wars alien. He's in the group.

So there's my band. I don't know their band name or what their music would sound like. I just know that if I heard it, it would be the voice of God in my ears. So do any of you have a super group like this? Feel free to add or take away instruments. Like I said, this is just what's in my head.
