The game is simple. You have been elevated to Rock God and the gig is to hire your all time rock band.
If you can find some vid to support the claim even better - but a list will do.
You can consider how the chemisty might work, or just who you think is the stand out musician.
Dead or alive - you're a god - we can work with ghosts.
Drums
I had a hard time choosing - I mean, all these are tough.
At first I thought Stephen Morris for his work in Joy Division and New Order.
Then I thought nah, Ian Paice. I used to come home from school and play Deep Purple's Machine Head as loud as the headphones in those days would go.
Nearly every afternoon. They were the first rock riffs that many of us nailed on a guitar, so it has sentimental value.
I had to consider Don Henley too. A lead vocal who can manage the sticks is a plus.
But in the end the drummer that has made me go 'wow' the most was Blondie's Clem Burke.
The dude hits the skins harder and faster than man's got a right.
Clem at the back.
Bass.
The legendary Klaus Voorman was first thought. Evryone recorded with Vorrman in the 70's.
Or another studio legend Donald 'Duck' Dunn, This is some of the best walking Bass ever.
(The Blues Bros Brass section is my backing section.)
But really, I have a clear cut favourite. Peter Hook gets the call. Joy Division and New Order like Morris, but the way his Bass takes charge of the melody gets me every time.
Guitarists next.
