Best Band Ever: nomination thread

[DJ James]

@Night Prowler Damn, I would've nominated Jo Bench from Bolt Thrower for the bassist list if I knew this game was going on hahaha

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Bryan Mantia.

 

[Brigantium]

Mario Duplantier (Gojira)
Nick Mason
John Bonham

 

[Cornfed Hick]

John Bonham

Well, for fuck's sake, THAT took too long...

Just to cover the other obvious (to me) omissions so far:

Keith Moon
Ginger Baker
Stewart Copeland
Cozy Powell
Ian Paice
Alex Van Halen

And I'll use my seventh nom on Richard Christy (Death, Iced Earth, Charred Walls..., Howard Stern), just because of his genius prank calls.

 

[Forostar]

I'm glad you mention Cozy. It hurt to leave him out but I hoped someone else would mention him. Good to see Copeland and Moon as well!

Yeah, I had to read through the nominations several times before I could be convinced that nobody had already nominated Bonham.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Good to see Copeland and Moon as well!

And Ian Paice. Serious chops, especially on those early 70s Purple albums and live....

 

[Forostar]

I recognize his popularity but I prefer other oldies.

 

[The Flash]

Billy Cobham.

I'll nominate others when I think more throughly, but Cobham has to be in.

 

[Night Prowler]

Hmmmmm, I expected more people, so y'all can expand your lists to 9 drummers. Just edit your previous posts

 

[Forostar]

Nice. Done.

 

[Brigantium]

Like your new avatar, NP, although at first glance, going by the colour, I keep thinking you're Cried.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Should I change mine to avoid confusing you?

 

[Hawaii Dave]

You should Cried.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Fuck off back to Hawaii, Hawaii Dave!

 

[Brigantium]

Or Scotland, whichever is nearest

Isn't Michael Kenney the only keyboard player that matters?
