African American Mega Band!

[Dustincopter]

Hey guys, let's try and compose the greatest African American band of all time!

I'll start with

Jimi Hendrix
Vernon Reid

both on lead


Kalel on bass

and those are all I'm really familiar with. Not sure who would mesh well and make a great band, so start er' up!

[HeadbanginPunk]

Fishbone....... everysingle member.... Not really rock, per se, but wow, those guys play some great music.

[SolidSnake526]

Clearly, Hendrix.
Now...I don't know if this counts, but I'm saying it anyway.
Killswitch Engage.

[HeadbanginPunk]

KSE is not an all African-American band, but I do agree with voting Howard Jones as a pretty good vocalist.

That's why I brought 'em up.
Clearly they're not all black, but he is. And too awesome for words.
In a hilarious sense.
I mean, the guy looks like he'd be one of those motivational image victims, but...he's not. And, he's in an awesome band. Which he sings for.
Not too common, and still awesome.

No, no, no, H.R. should be the vocalist.

Fishbone

I thought Living Colour where already a mega group.!.?

[HeadbanginPunk]

No, no, no, H.R. should be the vocalist.

Very good point.... I guess it depends on which way we want this band to progress. Are we looking for a melodic metal sound or a harcore / punk sound?

Billy Cobham can drum and Mike Alexander can play bass.

I think it should be a progressive psychedelic blues-metal funk fusion band.
