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?

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!

(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.
