Your dream band

[poopyalligator]

Well Thrice kind of already made my dream band, but if I were to choose a band it would go as follows

vox- Jason Gleason (further seems forever)
guitar 1- Randy Strohmymer (finch)
guitar 2- Teppei Teranishi (Thrice)
bass- Nick Beard (circa survive)
drums- Zach Lind (jimmy eat world)

I chose these guys because they seem like they would all get along together on the count of they all have toured with each other at some point. Plus I happen to think they would make an incredible album. I didn't go for the ultra talented people, just people I like from various bands.

Guitars: Tosin Abasi/ Lee McKinney (Animals as Leaders/ Born of Osiris)

Bass taps, polyrhythms, Harmonizing sweeps, and the most brutal box in metal.... What else could you want lol

Guitar - Munzer/Obscura
Bass - Brewer with a fretless/The Faceless

[USMarine75]

Anything that lets me hear/see Jason Becker play one more time would make me happy. Throw Stu Block in there for some vocals, Atma Anur to keep up on drums, and maybe Michael Anthony for bass and backing vocals...

Erik Rutan- Rhythm/Lead guitar,backing vocals
Muhammad Suicimez-Lead guitar
Alex Webster- bass

Greatest Death Metal lineup ever

Best band ever.

 

[blaaargh]

Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth) - guitars/vocals
Aleksi Munter (Swallow the Sun) - keys
Erik Tiwaz (Borknagar) - bass
Brann Dailor (Mastodon) - drums

If this ever happened I would do literally anything to see this band.

 

[PyramidSmasher]

Guitar - Ben Weinman (Dillinger Escape Plan)
Guitar - Graham Pinney (SikTh)
Bass - Michael Lepond (Symphony X)
Drums - Brandon Morgan (Misery Signals)

Not sure if these guys would be able to hit common ground entirely. Ben or Graham could be switched out for Michael Romeo or Ryan Morgan maybe. Maybe even Kiko Loureiro. Dash Arkenstone and Chris Prophet from old HORSE could also make a substitution for bass and drums.

Maynard would have been on vocals but he can't play guitar and I couldn't decide so that swayed things a bit in my mind.
