Biffy Clyro Basket Case Age: 34 Gender: Male Posts: 16018	April 23rd, 2006 at 09:52am i dont quite get this. but i think you need a capable bassist and drummer just to keep your beat so they are important. but the guitar is the tune. and the widdly diddly solos.
Rae. Post Whore Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 22292	April 23rd, 2006 at 10:39am I don't like this question. It's like asking if you could only have one thing what would it be: Air or water?

It's like asking if you could only have one thing what would it be: Air or water? Yea, to make a band you pretty much need all three...thats like part of the definition of bands. For an artist/singer/ though, I would say guitar.

Expressway To Yr Skull King For A Couple Of Days Age: - Gender: - Posts: 4990	April 23rd, 2006 at 11:13am Depends on what kind of band we're discussing.
KATH! Idiot Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 884	April 23rd, 2006 at 11:19am Well, take RHCP and remove the bass and it'll sound pretty empty. But really, it depends I'd rather have all of the above. Even though some bands can pull it off without drums, or guitar, or bass. But I mean, why not just have one of each --;

Franny. Falling In Love With The Board Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 5246	February 2nd, 2007 at 08:32pm 1. dueling guitars 2. singers who know when to back out of the spotlight [ie. when guitars are dueling] 3. drummers who only keep time and do nothing else 4. tapping bass lines o_O and/or bass solos
John Entwistle Great Success! Age: 36 Gender: Female Posts: 55036	February 3rd, 2007 at 01:42am Drums. They keep the beat. And stuff.
wfougoafoihqfe Falling In Love With The Board Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 9656	February 3rd, 2007 at 04:14am I think you need more than just one instrument... which is basically the idea of 'band' rather than solo artist.

Miss Katy Jackass Age: 36 Gender: Female Posts: 1041	February 3rd, 2007 at 07:29am Personality and energy. I've seen some bands that are amazing on record, but when I see them live they're so boring.
Flaming Phalanges! Basket Case Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 17669	February 3rd, 2007 at 07:51am Drums are the backbone of every band. Without drums there's no structure. But tbh, I think for a band to be good they need to be quality players not some little shits who've taught themselves a few power chords/grooves and now think they're the best thing since sliced bread. But also quality players are wasted if the songs aren't good, so you need good lyrics and music.
Funky Platypus Idiot Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 570	February 3rd, 2007 at 12:36pm It depends on A. One's own instrument of preference B. The type of music Someone said in the beginning of the topic that Billie didn't need drums in Good Riddance, well think about the song. Drums would kill the mood of the song, wouldn't it? Without guitar there is no melody. Without bass there is no balance. Without drums there is no rhythm. I think it was Dave Grohl who once said, "A band is only as good as its drummer." Maybe it was Taylor Hawkins, not all that sure. I'm not saying that drums are more important, but I think that the statement is very true.
Rae. Post Whore Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 22292	February 3rd, 2007 at 12:44pm Guitar, drums and bass. Having only two would be a duo group. Having only one would be a solo performer. You need all three for a band.
Janie Jones Falling In Love With The Board Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 5438	February 3rd, 2007 at 01:50pm You need everything together, and you need a decent singer or nobody's going to listen, in my opinion.
