Technically, this is a great list. Everyone is a top flight musician... But... Who brings the sex? All of these musicians play from the head above the shoulders! Ha.

This guy knows what's going on.

Two masterpieces, a couple of my all-time favorites. The closest I've ever seen to the perfect line-up. Diverse but they all work together and are the tops of their field.

Too bad FW is pretty much down to two members, and both are heavily involved in side projects. Please cough up another couple albums before you die, guys. (I mean the band dies, of course...not you literally)

just recently... http://www.bravewords.com/news/121343

However I think it was a one-time sort of thing, as Gus just posted this...

We are aware that this has caused lots of our fans wondering about the future of Firewind. No need to worry about anything boys and girls, Firewind is stronger than ever and we're entering the studio at the end of September to record our 6th studio album. We still don't have a title for it, but we do have 12 brand new metal tunes that we're VERY proud of!!!

 

[ToastedOveries]

Mine would probably be a classic Rock band with

Guitar: Ritche Blackmore
Bass: Geezer Butler
Keyboard/Organ: Jon Lord
Drums: Cozy Powell

I also read that Gus G would consider it an honor to be asked to join Ozzy's band. I am figuring that Firewind's future really hangs in the the balance of what Ozzy chooses to do. Quite honestly, I would love to hear Gus playing in that context. Although Firewind is a good band, I just can't get into that type of music for more than a song or two before I drift off. Ha... I guess the same could be said about Ozzy's music as well!

I was literally on my way to post this. High fucking five.

Mine would be more along the lines of getting the biggest assholes together in one group, put them on a tour bus for six months, and then record an album. If anybody's still alive. Like David Lee Roth on vox and Malmsteen and Mustaine on guitar. But that can't be much worse than the original Alcatrazz lineup, can it?

Oh God, just imagining them trying to work together makes my stomach churn.

 

[NegativeVolume]

Hrm...dream line-up, eh? I'd go with something that rocks in a traditional rock'n'roll style:

Vox: Russell Allen OR Myles Kennedy
Guitar: Slash
Bass: Michael Anthony
Drums: Whoever rocks hardest right now...Portnoy would probably do a decent job in a line-up like this.
