If Satan made heavy metal bands...

[Johnnytheboy]

Spurred on by the untimely death of Jeff Hanneman of Slayer, and not wanting to be distasteful in that thread, I was grabbed by the remark that he's now partying with Dimebag Darrell.

So, assuming the devil has all the best music and that all heavy metal band members automatically go to hell, who is in Satan's heavy metal (or if necessary, hard rock) house band? I think we can have any combo of two guitarists, a drummer, a bassist and a vocalist - who obviously have to be deceased.

Without having thought too deeply about this:

Vocals: Bon Scott
Bass: Cliff Burton
1st guitar: Jeff Hanneman
2nd guitar: Dimebag Darrell
Drums: John Bonham

[The Nur]

I can't think of any improvements of the top of my head. Good stuff.

[scoobyfreak10]

only change iwould make is that i would put COZY POWELL on the drums

[Nom de ploom]

pretty good.

Jon Bonham takes some beating - but Cozy Powell is a good shout. Keith Moon?

would Gary Moore or Hendrix be in a band?

Kurt Cobain on vocals?

[Turn7]

Dual drum kits for the win ! Cozy and Bonham on stage together....

[AnimalMkIV]

And swap Bon for Chuck Schuldiner

how awesome would that be during a gig , a drum solo beat-off between the two greats !!1

[james_gt3rs]

Off the top of my head:

Randy Rhoads (Ozzy)
Layne Stanley (Alice in Chains)
Clive Burr (Iron Maiden)

Not sure about Gary Moore, saw him shortly before he passed, truly awful, emptied teh the venue, Billy Idol was surport act and was infinitely (much to my surprise) better

Really? Ive always seen good stuff live from him, admittedly recordings.

For me,

Vocals - Dio

Guitar - Rhandy Rhoads

Drums - Cozy Powell

Synths - John Lord

Not sure bassists...

[Johnnytheboy]

Ooh now I was going to say 'no poncy keyboard players in Satan's house band'.

But I'll give you John Lord.

The Ox surely would be the Bassist....

Good call, a really innovative musician

[hornet]

Seeing as it's Satan's house band...

Vocals - Per Inge Ohlin
Guitar - Jon Nödtveidt
Bass - Quorthon
Drums - ?

Less well known, but no less influential in their own way.

GET OFF



There is a difference between 80s cheese synths and full bore Moogs on full tilt or a hammond linked to a marshall stack rocking out some Chopin altered Paganini riffs!

Im also thinking Sid Barrett somewhere.

Ahem... Cliff Burton?

[JaymzDead]

Like Hornet's choices some good left field stuff there, personally for me:

Vocals: Paul Balloff
Lead guitar 1/backing vox: Chuck Schuldiner
Lead guitar 2: Dimebag
Rhythm guitar: Jeff Hanneman
Bass: Cliff Burton
Drums: Not many metal drummers have died, they seem to be a hardy bunch so I'll go for Bonzo

[Animal]

My 2p:

Vocals/Bass - Glenn Benton
Guitar - Trey Azagthoth
Guitar - Jeff Hanneman
Drums - Dave Lombardo
Synth/Other/Screaming - Varg Vikernes
