Supergroups

[Hammasphee]

Was thinking after reading that new interview with MA in which he said he wants to do something with Steven Wilson, what would ppl's ideal supergroup be? Mine is:

Mikael Akerfeldt - Guitars/ Backing vocals
Steven Wilson - Synths/ Backing vocals
Daniel Gildenlow (Pain Of Salvation) - Vocals/ Guitars
Chris Squire (Yes) - Bass
Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater) - Drums

They would probably play something like a heavier Yes, with awesome instumental sections, and some stunning vocal harmonies.

 

[Leper_/-\ffinity]

Ooohhhh....finally an exciting thread, well, you've pretty much nailed it, but here's mine.

Daniel Gildenlow-Lead Vocals/Guitar
Mikael Akerfeldt-Vocals/guitar
Steven Wilson-Vocals/keyboards
Ryan Martinie-Bass
Neal Peirt(is that how you spell it?)-Drums

Obviously that would be a very unlikely group, but hey, it's my dream supergroup. Id also love to throw in Mr. Swano in there, but I just don't see it happening, I dhave to throw Wilson out or something. Maybe if it was more of a death metal thing, Id take out Gildenlow/Wilson and put in Swano and Tagtgren.
