Put together the ULTIMATE Band

[mloanna]

You are the manager, put together what you think is the ultimate band. From the ton of bands we know and love choose your musicians and singers. Don't forget to name your band. Since this fantasy, the players could be alive or not.

The vocalist would be the hardest part for me because I could go with Ronnie Atkins (Pretty Maids), Ladaslav Krizek (Kreyson) or Claus Lessmann (Bonfire) Andi Deris or Charles of Morgana Lefay among others. That's a tough call for me because they're all so good and all so different. Leon Goewie just has that entire mix for my band, though.
