Your perfect lineup?

[FenriR]

What would your ideal band be in terms of musicians? If you could form a band using any dead or living musician?

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

Letifer - Vocals
Liberta - female vocals
Uttila Ragnarok - Guitars
Oliver Grech - Bass
Lord Leviathan Zargonath - Drums

 

[Blind Guardian]

Steve Walsh - Vocals
Jörgen Sandström - Growls
Zakk Wylde - Rythm Guitar

It´s mainly from a composal point of view, vocalist and growler just because they´re so damn good.

Luca Turilli and Alexi Laiho - Lead guitars (but not rhythm)
Johan Hegg - Vocals

Would be fuckin' epic/brutal/insane/absolute-shit-in-all-probability!

 

[Belligerent]

Hmmmm...
Dimebag Darrell
Zakk Wylde
Kerry King (not huge fan of KK but...)

This was going to happen before Dimebag died, as Zakk stated in an interview. Not sure who they would have got on vocals though.

Drums- George Kollias (Nile)
Keyboards- Jordan Rudess

BWAHAHAHAHA!!! LMGDMFAO at putting Allan Holdsworth in there with those guys Allan is GOD, but he sure doesn't belong in that kind of band. Just try to picture it...

Ron Jarzombek is an extremely talented guitarist, but he does play outside the box a bit too much for my tastes. I've had problems being able to get into Spastic Ink, but I don't have his 2nd album yet... Never heard Watchtower...

Cooley is a wanker with terrible phrasing. Outworld is a cool band, but definitely not because of his solos. For a weird shredder stick Dave Martone in there The guy has loads of technique & ideas.

Kolias is a blast-beat / double-bassing drum wanker. Stick a guy like Mike Manigini or the guy from "The Faceless" in there Bro I've been liking his drumming a lot.
