I can do this but feels weird...

---15-15---
b15-----b15
-----------

-----------

now which figner(s) would u use to bend the 15 and which finger would you use hit the afterwards?

cramming my fingers all around the 15th fret feels weird, I used my index and my middle to bend and my ring finger to hit the 15s

Experts any comments??? :)

depends on the context.. i would probably use just one finger for it all fretting the d on the b string, bending it, then with the same finger (while the tip is still on the b-sting) fretting the g on the e string (feels like a barree) and then doing the bend again.. problem arises when you do the bend and the upper note at once.. then you should use two fingers.

usually those bends are done with 3 fingers, to create one tone bend.
You're supposed to bend the d here to e with 3 fingers, and then with the pinky to play the g on the first string.

I would bend with my ring and middle finger and pick
the G with the index finger.

You can do it either with (middle & ring) with bending support from the index or (ring & pinky) with bending support from the middle... You can ignore the support thing if you want.

Personaly , I usualy play it with (ring & pinky).

BTW, you should try it with other strings too, it will be the same unless on g & b strings.
e.g:
e--------
b-----18-
g-17b----
