if you could pick any musician from any band you want, who would you put together?
i can't really think of mine right now, but what would be YOUR ultimate band?

gg allin on vocals, Lemmy on bass, dez from Black Flag on guitar, and dave "grave" hollingshead from Repulsion on drums

alex webster on bass
dave suzuki on guitar
flo mournier on drums
probably frank mullen on vocals

Funny. i thought of this kinda thing before...

Alexi "Wildchild" - guitar (lead) :Children of Bodom/Sinergy
Michel Romeo- guitar : Symphony X
Gene Hoglan -drums eath/ Strapping young lad
Terry Buttler-bass (why not?): Death/ Six feet under
Pekka Kokko-Vocals-guitar : Kalmah
And ME ofcourse...hhmmm thats alot of guitarists.

Drums/Vocals: Chris Reifert "Autopsy"
Bass/Vocals: Stevo "Impetigo"
Guitar/Vocals: Matt Harvey "Exhumed"
Guitar/Vocals: Maniac Neil "Lord Gore / Frightmare"

ok i think i got it now
Abbath-guitar/vocals(Immortal)
Mikael Akerfeldt- guitar/vocals(Opeth)
Vortex-Bass/vocals(Dimmu Borgir)
Shaun-Drums(My Dying Bride)

a perfect mix of black, death, and doom metal

this isn't my ultimate, but i thought of this retarded one
neil peart - drums - rush
peter tagtgren - guitar/harsh vocals - hypocrisy
tom jones - lead vocals
mirai - keyboards - sigh
victor wooten - bass
kenny g - saxophones
50 cent - rapping
ross the boss - guitar
christina aguilera, some fat lady from the opera, madonna, yoko ono, tarja from nightwish, and robert smith from the cure - female choir section
yeah i guess that's it. i have already put too much thought into this.

hmmmm,

Les Claypol-bass(primus)
Steven Wilson-piano(porcupine tree)
Mikael Akerfeldt-guitar, vocals(opeth)
Pete Sandoval-drums(morbid angel)
Jon Nodtveit-guitar(dissection)
Mustis-synthesizers(Dimmu borgir)

sounds good for me

Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth)- vocals and guitars
Christina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil)- female vocals and sexual eroticism
Anders Nystrom (Katatonia)- guitars
Martin Mendez (Opeth)- bass
Martin Fowl (Cradle)- piano
Tony Laureano (Nile)- drums

Alexi Laiho - vocals/guitars (Children Of Bodom, Sinergy, Impaled Nazarene)
Henkka Blacksmith - bass (Children Of Bodom)

Hahaha. Word up!

everyone knows that the best rhythm section ever has already teamed up on a couple albums. that being:

Steve DiGiorgio - bass (Control Denied, Sadus, Death)
Richard Christy - drums (Iced Earth, Control Denied, Buried Inside, Death)

now, it really depends on what type of band you are going for, but i really like the new Into Eternity so i will be going for that type of sound...

Michael Romeo - guitar (Symphony X)
Steinar Gundersen - guitar (Spiral Architect)
Janne Wirman - keyboards (Children of Bodom)

now for the vocalist, i dont know who i would want to choose. well i want a decent power metal-esque vocal style but one that can get dirty too. kind of like the vocalist from Control Denied... actually...

take your pick:
Control Denied
Symphony X
Fates Warning (old vocalist)
Spiral Architect
...

any one of those would do.
