Well, let's see. Since it is supposed to be a supergroup, we need two drummers, so we'll have the late Pierre Moerlen and Christian Vander on drums. I definitely want some violin in there; in fact I'd like some violin duelling, so let's get Didier Lockwood and Simon House on violin. We need a few woodwinds: Didier Malherbe and the late Elton Dean on saxes (Malherbe on flute too). Some brass? The late Albert Mangelsdorff on trombone and Ian Carr on trumpet. Two keyboarders too, of course; I choose Dave Stewart and Katja Labeque (she is usually a classical piano player and plays piano duets with her sister Marielle, but she has worked in a fusion context too and even had her own fusion band). Ok, two bass players too; I choose Janik Top and Helmut Hattler. Some cello would be nice too; I choose Frank Wulff of the Frankfurter Kurorchester and Georgie Born. For a lot of extra percussion we'll throw in Trilok Gurut, Ramesh Shotam and Airto Moreira; also some tuned percussion by Mireille Bauer and Benoit Moerlen (since his brother Pierre will be confined to his seat behind the drums). I want lots of guitar, so let's get some of my favorite axemen: Roman Bunka, Tony Hill, Steve Hackett and Steve Hillage. Bunka will play oud too. And how about some sitar by Imrat Khan? Looks as if I have all bases covered. I call that band "The Cacophonic Orchestra".  -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

My ultimate progrock supergroup is: Neil Peart on drums + Alphonso Johnson on bass + Robert Fripp with his 'chainsaw electric guitar' and Mellotron M400 + Keith Emerson on Steinway Grand piano, Hohner D6 clavinet, Hammond B3 organ and Moog synthesizers + Ravi Shankar on sitar + Eddie Jobson on electric violin + Ian Anderson on flute traverse + Jose Chipito Areas on percussion (bongo's and conga's) = CHEMISTRY!!!!! |

Well my idea of a supergroup, I guess they would probably be prog-metal Clean Vocals: Bruce Dickinson Growling Vocals: The Guy from Vader Folkish Vocals/Instruments : The Guy from Korpiklaani (My memory seems to be eluding me tonight) Guitar: Jason Becker Guitar: John Petrucci Keyboard: Jens Johansson Bass: John Myung Drums: Neil Peart Drums: Mike Portnoy Violin: Jerry Goodman Guy who takes the occasional solo and doesnt do much else: Yngwie Malmsteen Concept Album writer and general MC: Daniel GLidenlow Spiritual Director: Jerry Garcia I guess some of them arent prog but it would still be a hell of a metal band.

Lead vocals - Maynard James Keenan (Tool) Guitar, backing vocals - Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) Bass - Sean Malone (Gordian Knot) Drums - Volodia Brice (Lord of Mushrooms, Yang) Keyboards - Matthew Parmenter (Discipline) Not the ultimate festival of musicianship panoply, though so as to achieve a schockingly stark image of darker ambiences lingering about the sound, most of them can relate to either somber or unnerving fashions. Neverthless, quaint, each of them. Just curious as to how they'd interact with each other. -------------  |

Oh this is a good one my supergroup would have to be: David Gilmour- Guitar and vocals Jon Anderson- Vocals and percussion Greg lake- Bass and Vocals Patrick Moraz- Keys Bill Bruford- Drums I chose this line up because i believe they are musicians that would work well together simply because some of them have ha. David Gilmours jazz and rock roots would perfectly suit Brufords drumming and Greg Lake being a very well accomplished singer and bassist would play brilliantly with masters like Bruford and Gilmour. One thing that i thought hard about in this is the vocals which i think would be amazing with Anderson, Gilmour and Lake all being some of the best singers in the world! ------------- "What do you mean interesting?"

Yeah, it's big, more like an orchestra than anything else. But if all these talented powerhouses got onto one stage (albeit if they overcame any differences they may have had) they could probably make some of the best music ever heard. I'd kill to hear one piece by a lineup this killer.

Some of the suggested combos are incendiary!!
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

How about "Close to the Red Side of the Moonmadness on Broadway"
And a follow-up called "In the Court of the Jester's Fragile Metropolis"

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

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. -------------

Trent Reznor, Adrian Bellew, Steve Wilson; they are supergroups by themselves. Boy, do they work hard or what?!! ------------- ¡Beware of the Bee! |

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. ------------- Handing sanity to a faceless mind I step though the void into this blind Memory where I see life, death and purity Clocks dream tolls endlessly |

Yeah that band would kick ass!!! Imagine Patton, Zappa and Claypool writing material together.

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. -------------

^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. -------------
