1969 Jimi Hendrix - rhythm guitar
1981 Geddy Lee - bass guitar, backing vocals

[metalheadpunk]

Danny Carey- drums
Mikael Åkerfeldt- vocals and rhythm guitar
Fredrik Thordendal-lead guitar

I picked these players because i think they would play well together and the results would be interesting

 

[kristallin]

Guitars: Robert Fripp
Guitars: Steve Vai
Male vocals: David Sylvian
Dex: DJ Shadow
Keyboards: Richard Barbieri
Assorted other electronics: Bill Rieflin
Female vocals: Terri Nunn
Bass: Mick Karn
Drums: Steve Jansen

 

[Sebastian]

Actually.. i always wanted to see Raymond and Christian from FF play with Pat Lachman... and i guess "Burn it All" is what I wanted

 

[Gilbucci]

Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge) - Vocals/Rhythm Guitar
Marco Sfogli (James LaBrie) - Lead Guitar
Stu Hamm (Satch) - Bass
Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater) - Drums

Just thought of that right now

[stuh84]

could it be................Evergrey?

You get a cookie

 

[OrsusMetal]

For more metal kind of a band that I think would work well with influences and styles.

Jari Maenpaa (Wintersun) - Vocals/Guitar
Chris Broderick (Nevermore) - Guitar
Stephan Fimmers (Necrophagist) - Bass
Witold Kietyka (R.I.P.)(Decapitated) - Drums


For something that probably wouldn't work as well. Just a talent overload.

Paul Gilbert - Guitar
Jason Becker - Guitar

Do you really need anything else?

 

[progmetaldan]

For an instrumental fusion band it would be

Tony MacAlpine- Guitars
Brett Garsed- Guitars
Billy Sheehan- Bass
Virgil Donati- Drums
Derek Sherinian- Keys

hang on a sec...

 

[Thrashmanzac]

for a metal band it would be:
hevy devy: lead vocals
eric peterson: rhythem guitar
Paul gilbert: lead guitar
brann dailor: drums
and fela for bass, just to add some funk.

 

[Seven]

Vocals : Axl Rose
Drums : Lars Ulrich
Guitar 1 : Jason Becker
Guitar 2 : Marty Friedman
Bass : Billy Sheehan

 

[FortePenance]

Vocals: Rody Walker (Protest the Hero)
Guitar: Dan Weller (Sikth)
Guitar: Pin (Sikth)
Bass: Fred DeCoste (Psyopus)
Drums: Martin Lopez (Opeth)

Should make for an entertaining lineup IMO. Rody's singing would be great, especially if he did some Periphery-esque vocals. The Sikth guys would be cool (prefer them to the PTH guys tbh) and there'd be insane bass tapping. Then Martin Lopez would add some cool beats to the whole thing, adding a bit of a metal-edge I gander.

I overthink things.

1969 Jimi Hendrix - rhythm guitar
1981 Geddy Lee - bass guitar, backing vocals
1998 Paul Mazurkiewicz - drums
1825 Ludwig van Beethoven - keyboards

if anything would end the universe, it would be a collaboration between mazurkiewicz, beethoven and geddy lee

anyway, i cant believe none of you unselfish bastards included yourself.
i lol at your weakness.

here is my team of power-rangers:

guitar1: me
guitar 2: Sami (Raatikainen, brings the juice to necrophagist)
vocals: corpsegrinder
drums: Dennis Röndum (used to play with Spawn of Possession)
bass: Sean Malone

then we would spend every day trying to be the most technical band ever and finally release an 8-minute one song demo 10 years from now including approx. 400 riffs and 200 different rythms over atleast 35 different tempos that wont get us signed anywhere.

it will later be declared as the biggest crap-song metal-fail of all time, and will in 2020 be the only used and needed method for torturing prisoners at guantanamo.

That song sounds brutal! Sami woo!

 

[ilyti]

Rock:
Guitar: Paul Gilbert
Keys: Derek Sherinian
Bass: Billy Sheehan
Drums: Terry Bozzio
Vocals: shared among the listed

Wacky fusion dream-band:
Guitar: Shawn Lane. And if dead guys is not allowed, Guthrie or Chris Poland
Keyboards: Derek again
Bass: Jonas Hellborg
Drums: my ignorance of good drummers is quite an embarassment. Danny Carey might be interesting in a band like this, and he might fail immensely.
Vocals and rythm guitars: Devin Townsend

 

[InTheRavensName]

Dickinson-Vox
Loomis-Lead
Amott-Rhythm
'Arris-Bass
Trym-Drums

Heavy, but melodic...could be interesting...

Vocs: Jaz Coleman (Killing Joke)
Guitar: Me
Guitar: Tommy Victor (Prong)
Bass: Paul Raven (Ministry, Prong ,Killing Joke)
Drums: Dave Ghrol (Probot, NIN, Killing Joke, Nirvana)

 

[MrJack]

Band 1
Mattias IA Eklundh - Guitars/Vocals
Devin Townsend - Guitars/Vocals
Jonas Hellborg - Bass
Mike Portnoy - Drums

Would make for some interesting music.

Band 2
Antti Hyyrynen - Rhythm guitar/Vocals
Pekka Olkkonen - Lead guitar/backing vocals
Kai-Pekka Kangasmäki - Bass
Teppo Velin - Drums

That sounds familiar....
