THAT BAND WOULD RULE!

 

[Spirit Of Vengeance]

My mostly out of commission lineup, 4 of 5 :

Bjorn "Speed" Strid (lead vocals from Soilwork who can sing both death/melodic vox)
Bill Steer (lead guitar, now defunct)
Dave Mustaine (rhythm)
David Ellefson (bass guitar)
Dave Lombardo (former drummer from Slayer who has no peer in my humble opinion)

Mikael Akerfeldt-Vocals and Guitar
Vortex-Vocals
Vintersorg-Vocals
Peter Lindgren-Lead Guitar
Bjorn Gelotte-Lead Guitar
Johan Defarfalla-Bass
Max Duhamel, Martin Lopez, Nick Barker-Drums

Three of each vocalists and drummers, oh well thats a bunch of random people I know I'd like to have in a band.

James Murphy (Obituary, Testament, Cancer, Death, solo artist) - guitar
Terrance Hobbs (Suffocation) - guitar
Steve DiGiorgio (Sadus, Death) - bass
Flo Mournier (Cryptopsy) - drums
Frank Mullen (Suffocation) - vocals

Stefan Weinerhall (Falconer) - guitar
Dave Mustaine (Megadeth) - guitar

[CF87]

Lorin Cook - Low/Clean Vocals ( EX Wicked Innocence )
Lenzig - Vocals ( Cephalic Carnage)
Jason Martz - Guitar ( Wicked Innocence )
Zac - Guitar ( Cephalic Carnage)
Tim - Guitar ( Skeleton of God )
Les Claypool - Bass ( Primus, etc..)
Brann Dailor - Drums (Mastodon, EX Lethargy )

 

[Wicked Child]

Vocals-Rob Halford(Judas Priest, Fight, Halford)
Guitar-Dave Mustaine(Metallica, Megadeth)
Guitar-Jon Schaffer(Iced Earth, Demons & Wizards)
Bass-Steve DiGiorgio(Sadus, Death, Iced Earth, Vintersorg, Dragonlord, Testament)
Drums-Sean Reinhart(Death, Cynic, Aghora)
Keyboards/Vocals-Jon Oliva(Savatage, Doctor Butcher, Trans-Siberian Orchestra)

 

[NocturnalSun]

Vocals - like everyone else said, Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth)
Bass - Michael Nicklasson (Dark Tranquillity)
Guitar 1 [rythm] - Jesper Stromblad (In Flames)
Guitar 2 [lead] - Al Frank Pitrelli (Trans-Siberian Orchestra)
Drums - Raymond Herrerra (Fear Factory)

I think it would be interesting to see renowned Melodic Metal musicians like the ones above paired up with the heaviest-hitting drummer in the world. Raymond Hererra has to be the king of the drumset. I think the result from this band would be amazing melodic Death Metal with a more atmospheric feel to it.
