[Slunk Dragon]

Oh god, there's so many choices I could name off, here's a random pick for me:

Guitar: Omar Rodriguez-Lopez
Guitar: Buckethead
Bass: Billy Sheenan
Drums: Carl Palmer
Keyboards: Jordan Rudess

It seems like the most oddball combination, but I don't know, they all are pretty open players, so you never know what kind of magic a project could brew up.

 

[Herb]

Vocals: DZK
Guitars: Stephen Carpenter (Deftones)
Bass: Arif Mirabdolbaghi (Protest The Hero)
Drums: Tomas Haake (Meshuggah)

 

[BucketheadRules]

The ultimate muso metal band:

Vocals: James Labrie circa 1992
Guitar: John Petrucci
Guitar: Ron Jarzombek
Guitar: Michael Romeo
Bass: Arif Mirabdolbaghi
Drums: Hannes Grossman
Keyboards: Janne Wirman (might seem a weird choice but he's awesome so...)

That would be beyond fucking awesome.

 

[TheBloodstained]

I was going to blabber about how I would make the perfect djent band, but then I realized how pointless it would be since it already exist in real life! >.<

however, I would like to hear what a collaboration between Periphery, Vildhjarta and Uneven Structure would sound like!

 

[Augury]

Vocals: Phil Bozeman (Whitechapel)
Guitar & Background Vocals: Michael Keene (The Faceless)
Guitar:Muhammed Suiçmez (Necrophagist)
Bass: Evan Brewer (The Faceless)
Drums: George Kollias (Nile)

They should do some great & innovative techdeath.

 

[Alberto7]

I don't think it would be very metal... Jazz, actually. I'd love to hear something along the lines of:

Vocals: Norah Jones (yes, I like Norah Jones )
Guitars: Guthrie Govan
Bass: John Patitucci (though I'm not sure about a bassist here...)
Drums: Gavin Harrison
Keyboards: Kevin Moore/Derek Sherinian (either one... Or both)

A bit of an odd group

As for metal:

Vocals: Undecided... Preferably none.
Guitars: John Petrucci
Bass: Arif Mirabdolbaghi (maybe, I'm never sure about bassists)
Drums: Gavin Harrison (yeah, he works for everything )/Tomas Haake
Keyboards: Jordan Rudess

These are just from the top of my head though... There's still the possibility that if you put them together they would sound like ass, since they come from different backgrounds

[Sea]

Guitarist - Tosin Abasi (AAL)
Guitarist - Misha Mansoor (Periphery)
Vocals - Dan Tompkins (Ex-TesseracT)
Bassist - Evan Brewer
Drums - Jay Postones (TesseracT)

Pretty stupid, but it works. Two amazing guitarists, battling for the spotlight, switching off amazing parts while the other one plays an amazing sweep or riff. Meanwhile, Evan Brewer is doing some fast paced slap bass, Dan is letting out extremely powerful cleans/screams (sorry, Dan Tompkins fanboy here) and Jay is playing fast paced drums, which get even faster every time Tosin or Misha play a solo.

Concealing Fate Part 7 - Orgasm anyone?

I'd love to hear some sort of collaboration with Tom Quayle, Travis Orbin, Alex Argento, and Mikee Goodman. I'm sure it wouldn't be for everyone but it'd result in something amazing I bet.

I know I'll get some hate for this but I also think that Marco Sfogli and Jared Leto could write an amazing album.
