[Se7enChurches]

let's see... first in terms of favorites ability/sound wise:

(by the way, i have no real concrete keyboardist preferences, though David Defeis gets serious points for being an exciting frontman behind a keyboard)

living:

vocals: this is so hard... but i'll go with Mike Patton over King Diamond since the rest of the lineup would make this so musically nuts.
guitarists: Ron Jarzombek, Alex Skolnick
bass: Sean Malone
drums: Flo Mounier (Cryptopsy)

dead:

vocals: Freddie Mercury (just to be different from whoever said Layne Staley; he was also awesome)
guitarists: Chuck Schuldiner, Criss Oliva
bass: Cliff Burton
drums: Keith Moon

and finally, in terms of sheer stage presence:

vocals: Damond Jiniya
guitarists: Janick Gers, Angus Young
bass: Mike Hakansson

That is absloutely the best lineup I can come up with and I challenge ANYONE to argue, lol

 

[The_Q]

I forgot the keyboardist, sorry

Keyboards: Jens Johansson

 

[warmwetos]

Interesting Here goes

(ALIVE)
Lead Guitar: Steve Vai (this was a tough one but he played for Zappa so he gets the edge)
Rhythim Guitar: Riff Master Tony Iommi (there can only be one!!! )
Bass: John Myung (Sean Malone, Billy Sheehan, Michael Manring all come to mind)
Keyboards: this is tough, Vitalij Kuprij, Jens Johansson and Kevin Codfert are amazing but I would have to go with someone who can also write some lyrics like Kevin Moore
Drums: Virgil Donati (ever since I saw him live I have been converted, this guy is a MONSTER!!!)
Vocals: SO MANY!!!! Might have to go with Russell Allen edging out the great Ronnie James Dio

Additional Lyrics: Fish

(DEAD)
Lead Guitar/Rythim Guitar: shared by Shawn Lane and Randy Rhoads
Bass: [size=-1]John Entwistle (going for the Who rythim section here)
drums: Keith Moon
[/size]Keys: This is hard, but I once knew this keyboardist named Louie Mastro (Camel and a few other prog bands) and will give him that spot for now.
vocals: Freddy Mercury was mentioned and a great choice, but I will go with the musical genius of Frank Zappa

Steve Harris - Bass
Kai Hansen - Lead Guitars
Mille Petrozza - Rythm Guitars
Michael Kiske - vocals

 

[Se7enChurches]

Mille Petrozza - Rythm Guitars

yeah, I put two leads on mine, but if i had to go with a rhythm guitarist, Mille runs away with it. especially if he's writing the riffs.

Ok, Lars, now that I read that list, that's gonna be one FUCKED up sounding jam session, man! That'll be going in so many directions... they better roll tape every second that they're in a room together!
