World Cup Guitar

[Jonny Dubai]

OK...the footy world cup starts today and me and my buddies have been putting our fanticy teams together. Solid players at the back, creaticve in the middle and flash b@st@rds up front.

Here is the challange.......create your fanticy guitar team.

4 at the back
3 in the middle
3 up front

Goal Keeper = bass player
Manager = drummer.

at the back

Will be back later with my selection.

Have fun,

Jonny

 

[Mick]

Start in my hometown tonight yes

 

[Tolerate]

Footballs not really my cup of, but any excuse to go to the pub eh?

 

[threeminutesboy]

Nice idea

here is my dream team and my tactic

4-3-1-2

Goal Keeper (Drums) Manu Katché (Best drummer to me with Jeff Poccaro)

in defence a 4 pcs band = The Phenix Horns (Earth, Wind & Fire)
middle field = Backing vocals => Tessa Niles, Katie Kissoon, Timothy B Schmit
Dispatch the balls = Tony Levin (Bass)

Strickers = Steve Lukather (Gtr & Vocals) & David Gilmour (Gtr & Vocals)

ready to win the world cup with that team (missing some keyboards though )

 

[Jonny Dubai]

I think you must have Malcom Young, Jimi page, marc knofler and neil young at the back. In the middle Salas, hendrix, the edge. Up front, gilbert, kotzen and vito brata.

Goal keeper- tony levin
Manager - Niel Pert

Subs- vai for salas, evh for brata, Scott iain for marc K.


hahahahah

Jonny.

 

[threeminutesboy]

interesting at least Tony Levin (THE bass player) is a common wish

 

[Bungo]

Great thread!

OK, here's mine:-

Up front - Vai / EVH / Petrucci

Midfield - Lifeson / Gilmour / Page / Steve Hackett

Defenders - Malc Young / Dave Murray / Adrian Smith / Hetfield

Goal - Lemmy!

Manager - Mike Portnoy

The trophy is ours!!!

PS World Cup joke to follow - If you are American, please take this in the spirit in which it's intended - i.e. taking the mickey!!!!


It is just before the USA v Italy match. Totti goes into the Italian changing room to find all his teammates looking a bit glum.

"What's up?" he asks.

"Well, we're having trouble getting motivated for this game. We know it's important but it's only USA. They're sh*te and we can't be bothered".

Totti looks at them and says "Well, I reckon I can beat them by myself, you lads go down the pub."

So Totti goes out to play USA by himself and the rest of the
Italian team go off for a few jars. After a few pints they wonder how the game is going, so they get the landlord to put the teletext on. A big cheer goes up as the screen reads:
"Italy 1 - USA 0 (Totti 10minutes)". He is beating USA all by himself!

Anyway, a few pints later and the game is forgotten until someone remembers "It must be full time now, let's see how he got on". They put the teletext on. "Result from the Stadium "Italy 1 (Totti 10 minutes) - USA 1 (McBride 89 minutes)".

They can't believe it; he has single handedly got a draw against USA!! They rush back to the Stadium to congratulate Totti. They find him in the dressing room, still in his gear, sitting with his head in his hands. He refuses to look at them. "I've let you down, I've let you down."

"Don't be daft! You got a draw against USA, all by yourself. And they only scored at the very, very end!"

"No, No, I have! I've let you down...........I got sent off after 12 minutes"

[Jonny Dubai]

Bugger!

 

[Bungo]

C'mon Paraguay tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jonny

Great day for England, especially with the Sweden/Trinidad draw!

Any more guitarist teams out there?

 

[RitchieDarling]

Midfield - Lifeson / Gilmour / Page / Steve Hackett

Good to see I am not the only hackett fan out there!

Ritchie

 

[Bungo]

Good to see I am not the only hackett fan out there!

Ritchie

I am a massive fan of Steve. One of the very few players out there who can REALLY play both electric and Classical in my humble opinion.

He also still plays lots of the good bits of old Genesis live (Watcher/Firth Of Fifth/Hairless Heart etc), only former member to keep the flag flying!!

 

[Rimshot]

The winning team:

Manager: Carmine Appice

In Goal: Billy Sheehan (backup/sub:John Entwistle)

Defense: Brian May, Slash, Pete Townshend and Mick Ronson

Midfielders: Glenn Tipton, John Mayer, Ritchie Sambora, and Gary Moore

Front line: Steve Stevens and Stevie Ray Vaughn

Reserves: Ron Wood, Brian Setzer, George Lynch, Vivian Cambell, Jeff Beck

Honorary Captains: Jason Becker & Les Paul

 

[Bungo]

Nice use of Townshend in defence. I wouldn't want to get past him. He'd club you down with a Rickenbacker!

Any more teams out there?

 

[Jonny Dubai]

C'mon boys. You dont have to bea soccer fan to take part in this. Just follow the simple instructions at the beginning of the thread.....easy.

I agree...nice use of the Townsend at the back. Him and Malc Young would be the care of a great defence.

[vexed73]

I would clone Luke and put him in all the positions save the
manager Niel Pert
Goal keeper stu hamm

 

[SteveB]

My lineup:

Back: Steve Morse, Vinnie Moore, Eric Clapton, Steve Hackett

Middle: Steve Rothery, Nick Barrett, Robin Trower

Front: Jimi Hendrix, Paul Gilbert, Andres Segovia

Goal Keeper: Roscoe Beck

Manager: Chad Wackerman

 

[Jonny Dubai]

Steve Rothery in the middle......nice touch.

[mbgreene]

In keeping with the current American strategy I'll go 4-4-2 and in deference to the Brazilians I'll only use single names, which also lets me have some fun in mid-field.

Manager: Steve Gadd

In Goal: John Entwistle

Defense: Brian, Pete, David and Edge - a full British back line considering Edge's original birthplace.

Midfielders: Steve, Steve, Steve, and Stevie

Front line: Jimi and Jimmy

First Sub: Danny Gatton

Morse, Lukather, Howe and Ray Vaughn
