UK rock supper group

The best UK super group would consist of this:

Drums: Keith Moon
Bass Guitar: John Paul Jones
Rhythm Guitar: Eric Clapton
Lead Guitar: Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page
Vocals: Freddie Mercury


The Yardbirds had a line up with those three guitarists like that. So it would work. The 3 greatest guitar players ever with 3 very different styles. Keith Moon just beats John Bonham to drums spot. John Paul Jones is my preference over John Entwistle on bass guitar. Robert Plant is just not quite as good as Mercury but not far off.

If you add Keith Richards to list of names mentioned, you have enough for 2 outstanding British line-ups, that in any order would beat a line up from the rest of the world.

Seriously?

With the exception of Billy Joel, that USA band is ridiculous. They don't stand a chance against the UK........and I'm AMERICAN!

Carlos Santana vs. Jimmy Page? PLEASE!
Sting vs. John Mellencamp? Right.

Look at it this way:

Peter Gabriel....Genius.
Sting......Genius.
Jimmy Page.....Genius.

Granted, Paul Simon is well respected, but we're talking about a supergroup here.

Now, Keith Richards sucks as far as I'm concerned. I saw him in concert, and he's just embarassing. However, you offset that by sticking Sheryl Crow on the American's side. Do we not have a better option than Sheryl Crow? Seriously!

Larry Mullen Jr. vs Don Henley, I'l call that a toss-up. Both very functional drummers, but not exciting.

Yes - Sheryl Crow on bass

I don't know if she's the best player ever - but she would be great for the TV show's ratings!

Ireland vs. Canada


Just thought i'd add on to the idea of an all-Irish supergroup, but have them take on an all-Canadian supergroup.

IRELAND

Van Morrison (of Them)- Lead singer and rhythm guitar.

Rory Gallagher (of Taste)- Lead guitar.

Adam Clayton (of U2)- Bass

Caroline Corr (of The Corrs)- Drums

CANADA

Neil Young (of Buffalo Springfield and CSN&Y)-
Lead Singer and rhythm guitar.

Randy Bachman (of The Guess Who)- Lead guitar.

Jim Clench (of April Wine)- Bass

Neil Peart (of Rush)- Drums


It doesn't quite fit the format of this website, but it's interesting non the less.

Jimmy Page

the U.S. doesn't stand a chance. the string section (bass, rythem guitar, lead guitar) blow them out of the water. is it really fair to pin people against a group with both Kieth Richards AND Jimmy Page.

It's gotta be UK, hasn't it?

Without a doubt. the US has produced some great artists, but the UK have The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, T-Rex...to name but a few. Seriously, there is nothing better.

How about an all-Irish Supergroup?

I'd like to see an all-Irish Supergroup take on America.
Van Morrison - rhythm guitar, harmonica, sax
Luka Bloom - rhythm guitar
The Edge - lead guitar, piano
Caroline Corr - drums
Adam Clayton - bass
Dolores O'Riordan - piano, guitar

(I know, I know - what about Bono and Larry Mullen - I couldn't make it all U2). I put on 6 players, each of which can play instruments and aren't just a vocalist - which is what this website does with all the different lineups.

UK vs USA

Hello! Eddie Vedder on drums, Mellencamp,Santana,its all good. I doubt it would sound like an entire Santana song, and even if it did, who cares. The Uk side was a great talent as well, but I gotta pick the USA, its my home.
