It's like this, If you had the skills that could twist steel and were holding auditions, who would you choose?
I can't submit an answer yet but I will later.

VOCALS-Rob Halford
Rob, to me, is the definitive, quintessential voice of heavy metal, and is the frontman for the definitive, quintessential heavy metal BAND. Funny how that works. Rob's voice embodies everything that is METAL: loud, bombastic, over the top, menacing, screeching, snarling, just......FUCKING AWESOME! This man can do it ALL and with a style and brilliance that very few other vocalists, if any can come close to. Rob Halford is indded, and always will be THE METAL GOD!
RHYTHM GUITAR-Tony Iommi
Tony is a riff MACHINE! Theriffs and melodies this man can churn out are in a word...MINDBLOWING! "Iron Man"? "Paranoid"? "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath"? "Sweet Leaf"? "Symptom of the Universe"? "Into the Void"? "The Thrill of it All"? "Heaven and Hell"? "Country Girl"?"Zero the Hero"? "Black Moon"? You get the picture. He's a riff monster. Not only that, but thanks to losing all of his finger tips, he CREATED the heavy metal sound! LONG LIVE TONY IOMMI!!!
LEAD GUITAR-Ritchie Blackmore
The man who pioneered the neo-classical guitar style, a style that has been copied a million times over and has saturated the metal genre ever since. But see, Ritchie PIONEERED IT, and still does it better. Ritchie still has what most of these types of players have lost: FEELING. You can feel every note he plays. Also, even though he's best known for fusing classical music with rock/metal guitar in Deep Purple and Rainbow, his style will always be unique in that he combines that style with a bluesy vibe as well. The man is a god and will never be duplicated.
BASS-Steve Harris
As everyone who knows me knows, i am, was and always will be a Judas Priest man. I will always take them over Iron Maiden any day of the week, i'm not saying i dislike Maiden, I do like them very much, but Priest.....well, Priest just rules! Anyway, even I can admit, STEVE HARRIS RULES! His galloping bass lines? TO! DIE! FOR! He has an uncanny sense of melody that i haven't seen in a bassist before or after him.
DRUMS- Neil Peart
GREATEST. DRUMMER. EVER. His sense of rhytm is PERFECT, his coordination is that of a God's, his sense of timing is immaculate. There is no drummer better than him, not to me. He's the be all, end all.
KEYBOARDS- Jon Lord
The man behind quite possibly the heaviest keyboard/organ sound EVER. And the melodies this man comes up with is mind blowing! In a word......AWESOME!!

vocals - Tough decision. I'll go with a guy I don't usually pick on these threads, though he is certainly worthy..... Russell Allen. I would love to hear this guy in a band that has some serious oooomph !!
guitar - Wolf Hoffmann. Great tone, great riffs, great songwriting, great solos.... most well-rounded guitarist ever.
guitar - Jorn Viggo Lofstat. Great style that makes him standout among great players of today.
bass - Francis Bucholz - Totally underrated player. Uncanny ability to both "hold down the bottom" and play great walks and fills at the same time.
drums - (tough one here) Michael Cartellone. Saw this guy live playing for Skynyrd. He is a magician.
keyboard - Gunther werno. There is not a close second. He absolutely owns the greatest tones and patches there is.

I knew you would approve. Having said that, throw "Savage Amusement" in the player, and turn up the bass. Buchholz tears it up on that one. Great player.
