Is this the ideal rock band layout?

Eliminate the dedicated keyboard player and make the vocalist/guitarist and bassist/vocalist take care of synth parts
>>68824067
No.
It should be:
>vocalist + really ocasionally keyboard
>rythm/only guitarist + backup vocals
>bassist
>lead guitarist + 2nd backup vocals
>drummer
Singer should be an actual good singer with technique who can frontman and showman freely without any instrument and bass should be rythmically tight as fuck, no distractions.
Lead singer piano man
Guitar player
Lead guitar man
Drummer

It's less overdone and if you want to add a guitarist it's easy because literally everyone plays guitar

Works sometimes but sometimes it's nice to have an actual keyboard part, not just synth filler.
>one person doing everything

why do you need to guitarists?

>drummer

no way
>>68824067
Don't need two guitarists if you have a keys player. Best layout:
Guitar (rhythm and lead)
Keys
Bass
Drums
Keep it simple. Pretty much anyone but the drummer can handle singing duties.
