your dream supergroup

Postby Farlo » Tue Oct 16, 2007 9:53 pm

we haven't seen one of these threads in quite a while, at least a year anyways. im wondering how all the regulars choices would be different now that previously.

as always the composition of your band can be whoever you want. living or dead, but if you do post someone dead, id like to see what living person you would settle for.

vocals: Ville Laihiala/Mikael Åkerfeldt

guitar1:John Petrucci

guitar2:Matt Moliti

bass:John Myung

drums:Fredrik Andersson

Vocals: Daniel Gildenlow (Pain of Salvation) and Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth)
Guitar 1: Daniel Gildenlow
Guitar 2: Michael Romeo (Symphony X)
Bass: Dave Ellefson (ex-Megadeth) or Steve Harris (Iron Maiden)
Drums: Bill Bruford (Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, etc)
Keyboards: Fredrik Hermansson (Pain of Salvation)

That would be a very strange mix, but I want something eclectic.

Well, I have trouble matching people too far across my spectrum of listening material, so I'll just go with the more prog oriented option.

Throw the following people together and I guarantee something weird but cool would come out:

Vocals/Guitar: Steve Wilson (Porcupine Tree)
Guitar: Robert Fripp (King Crimson)
Bass: Les Claypool (Primus)
Drums: Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater)

Eh? :roll:

I'm not. A good supergroup is composed of musicians with taste.

Hey, no fair, then I could also list a couple of incarnations of King Crimson as my dream supergroup too! :P (namely the '72-'74 and '94-'96 versions)

I can say the same thing about Nomeansno, Yes, Primus and Frank Zappa's backing band (Mothers and others).

Otherwise...

Vocals: Mike Patton for both his straight-up singing AND his weird noises (Mr. Bungle, Faith No More, Fantomas, Tomahawk)
Guitar/vox: Adrian Belew (discovered by Frank Zappa, later joined King Crimson, much underappreciated solo work)
Guitar: Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (At The Drive-In, The Mars Volta)
Bass/vox: Mike Watt (Minutemen, fIREHOSE, much underappreciated solo work)
Drums/vox: John Wright (drums for Nomeansno, vocalist for NMN's puck rock alter-ego The Hanson Brothers)

I'd fully support that band, Jimmy O.

Hm..

Vocals:

Male: Piet Sielck (I like the gruff and Piet is god)
[Iron Savior]

Female: Loreena McKennitt (Because if she cut loose in metal her voice would complement Piets well, I think.)

Growls: Kral
[ex. Mercenary]

Lead Guitar: No question. Hands Down. Mattias "IA" Eklundh. Anyone who has ever seen this man play live will understand. There are things this man can do with a guitar that I have never dreamed of. 100% best guitarist no one has ever heard of.
[Freak Kitchen]

Guitar: Aydan. This man can really pump out the solo's and do some wicked guitar work, I think he and IA would play well off each other.
[Elvenking]

Bass: Christian Lukhaup. This guy plays slapbass like a MOTHERFUCKER. I'm not a MASSIVE Fan of Leaves Eyes, but this guy is just a treat to watch when he plays. Anyone who has seen him live can back me up.
[Leaves Eyes]

Keys: Tuomas Holopainen. No words needed. If you don't know who this is, kill yourself.
[Nightwish]

Drums: This is tough. I've always gone with Jukka Nevalainen as my favorite drummer of all time, but at the same time, I don't want to put in more than one person per group, otherwise, it becomes cheesy. That said, I'd go with Mike Terrana.
[Every band Ever, but not as many as Kai Hansen]

This concludes the most awesome band of all time.

Lol, Dark Empire is fucking awesome. Matt's an awesome guy too. Bunked with him @ Progpower 2 years ago.
