So much music. So little time.

Yeah, RTF was scary indeed. Same for RTF and Weather Report when Jaco was with them (in my book, anyway).

   Maynard James Keenan -vocals (tool)
Omar Rodriguez- guitar (mars volta)
Ray Shulman - bass and violin (gentle giant)
Micael Pinder - mellotron (moody blues)
Bill Bruford - drums (if you don't know what bands he's        been in then you shouldn't be on this site)
Elton Dean - sax (soft machine)
Brian Gulland - basoon and krumhorns (gryphon)

I could htink of a thousand different variations. this is just the first one that popped up in my head. started out with my favorite drummer and pictured who would work best with him and then built it up from there

^Oh no!  A fantasy lineup is not allowed because it wouldn't work in reality. Stop speculating this instance, you mad fools! And do it because the font is large - that makes it all the more serious.

What a stupid thread! Do you expect such an 8-piece band put together with chewing gum and fishing line to make any sounds worth listening to?
Haven't you heard of members who hate each other and leave or would like to kill one another fighting for their musical visions? Maybe your favorite guitarist and your favorite drummer could become enemies after a while. Maybe your vocal idol would sing like crap in compositions not made by the leader of his current band.
Persons are more than instruments.

Replace Portnoy with Danny Carey and you got the band!!!! I would have said Peart, but his playing as of late has become more jazzy. I think Carey is the next drummer to be reckoned with.


Caery is a great drummer but IMHO he is still behind Portnoy for sheer virtuosity. He can play in any time sig, has the double bass skills of a death metal drummer, and can mix it up with shuffles and such like he did on the LTE albums. He has played all of the classic bands (Beatles, Zep, Floyd, Who, etc.) and does prog rock with Transatlantic.

Trent Reznor, Adrian Bellew, Steve Wilson; they are supergroups by themselves. Boy, do they work hard or what?!!

I have no suggestions for personnel, but given the expected half-life of some of these, how about "Unstable Nucleus" as a band name?
 
Oh, and I know its only a thought expt, but a special Nobel Prize for Optimism to the two or three guys who picked Fripp & Lake in the same band  Evil Smile Ouch


LOLLOLLOL

And I think earlier on someone suggested a band with Emerson, Fripp and Blackmore.... I'd call that "H-Bomb" straight away!Wink
