the big jams in the sky;
vocals - Ray Gillen

That is a great choice Creeps. I was never a huge fan of Badlands but Gillen could peel paint off the walls with his voice. He was very underrated.


Mike Howe (Metal CHurch) and Tony Martin (Sabbath/The Cage/Misha Calvin) are also two gifted vocalists that often get overlooked.

Very interesting lists!
My dream studio recording would consist of:

Vocals: Jorn Lande
Rhythm Guitar: Chuck Schuldiner
Lead Guitar: Alex Skolnick
Bass Guitar: Steve Harris
Acoustic Spanish Guitar: Tore Ostby
Keyboards: Frank Boejen
Drums: Mike Bordin
Harmony/Backing Vocals: Anneke Van Giersbergen

Imagine how much you'd pay for that one...
 
Mine would be something like ...

Vocals: Tobias Sammet
Guitar I: Criss Oliva
Guitar II: Luca Turilli
Keyboards: Tharen
Bass: Alex Webster
Drums: Nicholas Barker

Now, granted, I cannot imagine a line-up like this ever happening considering the different backgrounds but they're some of my favorite musicians so if they got together and made an album I'd sucker in and buy it in a second.

weird.. I'd buy it though considering I own 0, zip, nada DT albums

I'll go hide behind an overturned couch now while you all pick on me and start throwing DT cds at me to listen to
Not from me, you won't get them. Stick with Rush, early Queensryche, and early Fates Warning.

I see several people listing Nick Barker as a dream drummer on this thread. I have to say I don't understand it. At least based on the Dimmu Borgir era, he cheated like a motherfucker on some studio recordings with Pro Tools, etc., and having seen Dimmu live, he was HORRIBLE. His drums were so triggered they sounded like absolute shit and, starting two thirds of the way through the set, he was having trouble keeping up with the rest of the band. There are MUCH better drummers out there, people.
