If you could create your own 5 piece band taking any musician from any band, but only one member connected with any one band, what would be your line up?
Mine would be
Vocals Russell Allen, Symphony X, needs no explanation here.
Guitar Kai Hansen, Gamma Ray, awesome guitarist, excellent song writer, and a great voice too, to compliment Russ.
Bass Steve Harris, Iron Maiden. Has to be. Most powerful thumping bass you could wish to hear and another great song writer.
Drums Russell Gilbrook, Uriah Heep, A very powerful hard hitting drummer who would compliment the rhythm section with Steve amazingly. It's no coincidence that Heep's last 3 albums since his arrival have found new life and power.
Keyboards Tuomas Holopainen, Nightwish. Had to rack my brains here as obvious choices Ken Hensley (Uriah Heep) and Michael Pinnella were out of bounds, but I want good song writers and strong musicians in my band and this guy ticks the boxes
So to some up
Russell Allen
Kai Hansen
Steve Harris
Russell Gilbrook
Tuomas Holopainen
I would love to hear an album this mix could come up with.
