Your dream band

[josh pelican]

The three sexy ladies from The Supremes with the sexy man that is... Billy Paul.

This would make straight men have sopping vaginas.

bass - that guy from meshuggah srry forgot the name right now

Dick Lovgren.

Ever listen to the jazz fusion album he put out with Nica's Group? It's like, lounge/elevator music. It's actually called "Lounge", I believe.

 

[behemoth91]

Vocals- Nergal (behemoth)
Guitar- Pat O'brien (Cannibal Corpse)
Guitar- Corey (trivium)
Bass- Joe Payne (Divine Heresy)
Drums- Inferno (Behemoth)
That would be insanely metal.

 

[Dimensionator]

Vocals - James Hetfield (Metallica) for rougher parts, Spencer Sotelo (Periphery) for cleans, and Mattie Montgomery (For Today) for deep growls.
and throw in the Rev (Avenged Sevenfold, Pinkly Smooth) because his vocals (in Pinkly Smooth, that is) are just so out-there and awesome.

so, 4 vocalists.. this is gonna be an epic band.

Guitar - Jeff Loomis (Nevermore)
Guitar - Bulb (Periphery)
Drums - Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater)
Bass - None for TEH Br00taLz
Bass (for real) - guy from Meshuggah (I forget his name)

...And Beethoven on keyboards

 

[Louis Cypher]

...And Beethoven on keyboards

totally non hardcore metal I know but this would be a band worth seeing....

Vox - Al Green/Bobby Womack/Marvin Gaye
Guitar - Prince
Guitar - Eddie Hazel (Funkadelic/Parliament)
Keys - Stevie Wonder
Bass - Bootsy Collins (James Brown/Funkadelic/Parliament)
Drums - Tommy Lee

Vocals: Floor Jansen (After forever)
Vocals/Guitars: Tomas Englund (Evergrey)
Lead Guitar: Marco Sfogli (Labrie)
Bass: Rob van der Loo (many many things)

[anthonyferguson]

Berlin Philharmonic orchestra (all string instruments have 5 strings)
Epic-ass chorus, at least 100 singers
Igor stravinsky - keys/conductor
Matt Halpern, Thomas Haake - drums, percussion
Fredrik Thordendal, Misha Mansoor, John Petrucci - guitars

Christopher Lee/Saruman - Solo baritone & lead vocals

Every member must be dressed in appropriate concert attire for each performance.

 

[mmr007]

Dave Lombardo on drums....the rest of the band is irrelevent


actually, I would add Steph Carpenter on guitar
Al Jourgenson on vocals (I know there's better singers but....)
Fieldy on bass (imo he made Korn)

LMAO, just imagine him opening a son with "AN EYE... LIDLESS... WREATHED IN FLAMES!!!"

pure win

 

[rectifryer]

Vocals: Corey Taylor
Guitar: Guys from Soilwork and Adam Jones.
Bass: Ryan Martini
Drums: Daney Carey and Thomas Haake. I have seen them play together. It is rediculous.
Keys/samples: Guy from Rammstein

This would basically be a slipknot with tangible talent.

 

[Gamma362]

Vocals/Rhythm Guitar: Hetfield from 1991 (Metallica)
Lead Guitar: Jeff Loomis (Nevermore)
Bass: Cliff Burton (Metallica)
Drums: Van Williams (Nevermore)

 

[Steve08]

Ron Jarzombek, guitar
Fredrik Thordendal, guitar
Lars Norberg or Alex Webster, bass
Travis Orbin, drums
OR Tomas Haake because he can do ultra tight metal stuff in addition to his amazing comping/groove skills. But Travis would fit perfectly for something like this IMO.

That is an insanely good lineup.
if it could have a vocalist who would you choose

Hmmm, probably Casey Sabol, in my opinion he has some of the best growls I've ever heard and I love his clean voice, plus I know he is a theoretically inclined musician so he would probably fit well person-wise in such a band.

 

[nnmore]

For some reason I've thought about this a LOT!

Drums - Mike Portnoy
Keyboards/sound - Steven Wilson
Guitar 1 - Mikeal Akerfeldt
Guitar 2 - Devin Townsend
Bass - Sean Malone
Vocals - Mike Patton & Serj Tankian

 

[ZEBOV]

Vocals: Corey Taylor
Guitar: Guys from Soilwork and Adam Jones.
Bass: Ryan Martini
Drums: Daney Carey and Thomas Haake. I have seen them play together. It is rediculous.
Keys/samples: Guy from Rammstein

This would basically be a slipknot with tangible talent.

Rammstein's sampler's name is Christian "Flake" Lorenz.
Ryan Martini is one of the best bassists I have ever heard. John Myung too.

 

[sakeido]

Vox & Guitar - Joe Duplantier
Guitar - Marc Okubo
Bass - dunno
Drums - Thomas Haake

 

[Skyblue]

Guthrie Govan- Guitar
Guthrie's brother- bass (forgot his name >< )
Tomas Haake- drums (only if he can do jazz. I'd love to hear what he does in a jazz context...)

not really a dream band, came up with it after a bit too much listening to Erotic Cakes and Nothing

 

[ZEBOV]

Vox - Ben Schigel of Switched
Guitars - Richard Kruspe of Rammstein and Bulb of...... If you don't know who Bulb is, GTFO.
Bass - Fieldy of Korn
Drums - Morgan Rose

 

[scottro202]

hmm... for a metal band

Vocals-Angela Gassaw and Bruce Dickinson (Arch Enemy and Iron Maiden)
Guitars- Lead: Steve Vai and John Petrucci (solo and Dream Theatre)
Bass- Billy Sheehan (solo/steve vai band)
Drums-Mike Portnoy (Dream Theatre

for a more rock oriented band

Geddy Lee-Bass/Vocals
Joe Satriani- Guitar
Eric Clapton- Guitar
Neil Peart-Rush

for a full out hippie jam band

Warren Haynes-Vocals/Guitar (Allmann Bros, Gov't Mule, Grateful Dead)
Jimi Hendrix-Guitar (Jimi Hendrix Experience)
Mike Gordon- Bass/Vocals (Phish)
Drums- Vinnie Amico (moe.)

for the weirdest shit you've ever heard

horns: the horn players from streetlight manifesto + miles davis
keys: billy preston and Tony Malcaphine
drums: Thomas Haake (Meshuggah)
Bass: Victor Wooten
Guitar: Paul Gilbert, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Andy McKee
Vocals: Dallas (Nile) and Roger Daltrey (The Who)

wouldn't that last one be weird and somehow awesome?

Of course I would've done a hippie jam band in my freshman year

Anyways, now, almost 2 years later, I'd do:

Vocals: Clayton Hiers (The Bastard Suns)
Bass: Brian Beller (Steve Vai)
Guitar 1: Misha Mansoor (Periphery)
Guitar 2: Joe Satriani
Guitar 3: John Petrucci (Dream Theater)
Drums: Mike Portnoy (A7X, ex-Dream Theater)
Keys: Jordan Reudess (Dream Theater)

BUT, I'd make them mix reggae with whatever they would come up with, this is MY dream after all

 

[PyramidSmasher]

Guitar: Trent Hafdahl
Guitar: Tom Hollings
Vocals: Nathan Winneke (Or Grant Luoma)
Synth/Vocals: Joe Buras
Bass: Dick Lovgren
Drums: Dan Foord


No idea how this would play out at ALL. Could either trainwreck, or turn out amazing. Nathan's voice might not work well with these guys though.
