put together your perfect band

[metallica144]

i remember this of an other forum
so, the idea is simple, make your perfect band consisting of a singer, lead guitarist, rythm guitarist, bass player, drummer, oh and if you like, then someone for the keys and if you can't choose, then do something in this form .../... but don't mention to many options, then the idea of this whole topic is destroyed.

don't come with things like '' X will only be great in his own band, X'', it is just for fun

the artists don't have to play the same genre, just choose your favorite on every position.

this would be mine:

singer: Johan Hegg ( Amon Amarth) / Adam Darski ( Behemoth)
lead guitarist : Alexi Laiho
rythm guitar: James Hetfield
bass: Cliff Burton
drums: Dave McClain ( Machine Head) / Dave Lombardo
keyboard: Janne Warmen

 

[Ocelot2010]

James Hetfield: Rhythm Guitar and vocals
Dave Mustaine: Lead Guitar.
Cliff Burton: Bass
Drums: Paul Bostaph

 

[Vedicardi]

Rhythm - Chris Poland (Megadeth)
Lead - Josh Christian (Toxik)
Bass - Steve Harris (Iron Maiden)
Vocals - Rob Halford (Judas Priest)
Drums - Grant Hart (Husker Du)

Weird line up but I think it'd work. Grant's early drumming is mindblowingly awesome, I think the rest is self explanatory

 

[metallicdistort]

Lead guitar: Andreas Kisser
Bass: Frank Bello
Drums: Igor Cavalera
Vocals: James Hetfield
Rhythm guitar: Gary Holt (I know he's technically a lead guitarist, but he's one of the world's greatest riff writers so he has to be in the band in some form, him and Andreas can swap leads anyway)

I reckon it would actually work as a great thrash band

 

[Caveman Ninja]

Drums: Paul Bostaph
Vocals: Bruce Dickinson
Bass: Steve Harris
Guitar: Mike Amott
Guitar: Jake E. Lee

 

[Keenan]

Vocals : Matt Barlow (Iced Earth)
Lead : John Petrucci (Dream Theater)
Rythym : Matt Drake ( Some band I forget the name of )
Bass : Cliff Burton (Metallica)
Drums : Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater)

Thats a strange one, but still!

 

[metallica144]

Rythym : Matt Drake ( Some band I forget the name of )

These types of topics are fun because there's sooooo many things that could come out of it. Just imagine what some of these bands would sound like!

Are we allowed more than one band?

 

[rusty89]

Singer: Chuck Billy

Why not? Let's do it!

ULTIMATE BAND #2

Vocals: Russ Anderson (Forbidden)
Drums: Nick Menza (Megadeth)
Bass: Rob Trujillo (Suicidal Tendencies/Infectious Grooves/Someone else)
Guitar: Alex Skolnick (Testament)
Guitar: Chris DeGarmo (Queensryche)

How cool would that be? Skolnick and DeGarmo as axe-partners, it would be chocabloc with sweet leads!

What about giving them names?

I'm going to call this band Gargantuan Phallus...

 

[Zehm]

I'd say for a ridiculous musicianship type band I'd want

Guitar: Paul Gilbert
Guitar: Marty Friedman
Keys: Jordan Rudes
Bass: Billy Sheehan
Drums: Mike Portnoy

 

[Keenan]

[Vedicardi]

marty isn't a very technical player anymore though. maybe if you went back in time and snatched him up from cacophony

 

[DaveGYNWA]

Singer: Steven Tyler
Lead guitar: Joe Perry
Rhythm guitar: Brad Whitford
Bass: Tom Hamilton
Drums: Joey Kramer

Additional member: Someone playing Saxophone (David Woodford possibly)

of course you can do more than one band jus like you said, it's funny to see peoples choices and then think about how it would sound like

 

[metallica144]

oh, and i thought that it's maybe fun to choose someone for backing vocals

it would be plain awesome to have this ( just for entertaining value):

singer: Amy Lee ( evanescence)
bass + backing vocals: Tom Araya
lead guitar: Carlos Santana
rythm guitar: Rob Flynn
drums: Tomas Asklund ( Gorgoroth)
keys/piano: Wibi Soerjadi ( are you familiar with this guy?)

 

[Keenan]

That would certainly be a unique band!


Lead Singer : James LaBrie (Dream Theater)
Backing Vocals/Lead Guitar : Old Rake
Rythym Guitar : Andre Olbrich (Blind Guardian)
Bass : Roger Patterson (Atheist)
Drums : Gene Hoglan (Death, shitloads of other bands)
Keyboards : Nobuo Uematsu

Best Power Metal band ever?

vocals + guitar : matt drake
lead : ol drake
bass: joel graham
drums: ben carter
