Your dream band

[Maniacal]

For a metal band

Me - guitar
Allan Holdsworth - guitar
Derek Roddy - drums
Gavin Harrison - percussion
Necrophagist guy - bass
Meshuggah guy - vocals
Bjork - vocals
London symph - sexyness

Id love to see Holdsworth windmilling like a lunatic and doing a back flip into a mosh pit... whilst playing the sexiest legato lines of course.

Just for the sake of wrongness:

Vocals: Wayne Knupp (RIP, ex-Devourment)
Vocals: Bilinda Butcher (My Bloody Valentine)
Guitars: Hasjarl (Deathspell Omega)
Guitars: Terrance Hobbs (Suffocation)
guest solo: Paul Masvidal (Cynic, Death)
Bass: Derek Boyer (Suffocation, Decrepit Birth, Dying Fetus, blah blah)
Drums: Dave Culross (Suffocation, Malevolent Creation, blah blah) and/or whoever made the drums on Deathspell's Fas
Keyboards: Kevin Shields' ridiculously effected guitar (My Bloody Valentine)
Saxophone: John Zorn (Masada, Naked City, etc)
Saxophone: Rolf Erik Nystrom (Ulver)
Electronics: me and the people from Torturing Nurse

So basically what we have is a complex brutal death/avant-black band with shoegaze vocals and sounds, insane saxophone, and chaotic harsh noise. I would recommend avoiding having everyone play at once. Ever.

 

[Daemoniac]

Vocals: Eric Powell/Trent Reznor/Maynard James Keenan (16volt/NIN/Tool respectively)
Guitars: Wes Borland/Brian "Head" Welch/Jason Novak/Eric Powell (Black Light Burns/KoRn/Acumen Nation/16volt
Keyboards/Programming: Sascha Konietzko/Trent Reznor/Andy LaPlegua/Dwayne Goettel (RIP) (KMFDM/NIN/Combichrist/Skinny Puppy)
Drums: Danny Lohner/Crhis Vrenna (Black Light Burns/Tweaker)
Classical tendencies: Sergei Prokofiev w. the Prague Philarmonic Orchestra

Huzzah! The most fucked up band ever! With kind of alternative/industrial leanings with Combichrists elements of noise and crazy percussion
Also,way too many members... not ever to be played for the parents...
