Ok, so pick the top 4 bands you'd like to see play together on the same bill. I mean the absolute ULTIMATE lineup you could imagine. And genre means nothing! If you want one thrash band, 2 power metal bands and a metalcore band, then so be it. Pick your ultimate lineup.

Mine would probably be:
Slayer
Warbringer
Iced Earth
Primal Fear

Slayer
Pantera
80's Metallica (With Cliff Burton)
Testament

The Ultimate Thrash Line Up!!!!

At this point in time...

Argus
Candlemass
Grand Magus
Leather Nun America

Summoning
Subway To Sally
Estatic Fear
Sabaton

I think that would be a pretty cool mix

One of the hardest threads to answer. Let's see:

As an opening act, I'd like to see some.... Katatonia. Their old stuff would put me in the righ mood for the rest of the gig.

Next, I think I'd like too finally get a chance to see The Stone. We're fellow countrymen, but I never got a chacne to see them, and I've been into their stuff more than anything lately.

And now, Mayhem. I'd sell one of my kidneys to see these guys live, with a setlist of my choosing.

Last, but not least.... Cradle of Filth! I've seen them live already. but a fanboy can never get enough of his most favorite band ever. Although, it would be awesome if they focused on the early stuff most. I got so bored when they played "Under Huntress Moon" from Thornography last time, it almost made me cry.

This thread is pullin' some really cool lineups...
How bout this one:

Slayer
Deicide
Lamb of God
Cradle of Filth

Hahaha, the Satanist Tour!!!!!

Yeah, but they're not outwardly Satanic, they're just offensive and gory. Haha Ok how bout Dimmu Borgir instead of Cradle?

Slayer
Cannibal Corpse
Lamb of God
Dying Fetus
Nile

I would have permanent damage to my brain stem after this show!

Since when are Lamb Of God and Slayer outwardly Satanic, or even Cradle Of Shite for that matter?

Thought the same as Marcel, but I skip the "Shite" in Cradle of Filth.

Cradle Of Shite

I dislike you with great intensity....

Anyway, since I see people are posting lists of 5 bands, I figured I add a band on my list. Just squeeze Gorgoroth between The Stone and Mayhem.

Black Sabbath
Judas Priest
Iron Maiden
Motorhead

Or

Immolation
Vader
Monstrosity
Unleashed

Metallica
Iron Maiden
Testament
Megadeth
Mortal Sin

Kalmah
Iron Maiden
Megadeth
Amon Amarth

I'm not gonna count bands i've already seen or know i'll catch soon. also i'll try and make it a realistic list so here goes, going downwards from the shortest set to the supreme headliner:
-Diamond Head
-Candlemass
-Wasp
-Iced Earth
-Metallica
-Iron Maiden

Metallica (only up to Black Album stuff)
Testament
Slayer
Iron Maiden
Megadeth

Bolt Thrower
Cannibal Corpse
Behemoth
Carcass
Amon Amarth

Emperor
Sigh
Dimmu Borgir
Rotting Christ
Mayhem

Seen all these bands at least once except Maiden & Rotting Christ, a few of them 8 or 9 times but I don't care, they're awesome live! Hell I just saw Behemoth last night ;P and maybe this would be a 3 day festival, one for each genre, that would rule!

1st: Emperor
2nd: Opeth
3rd: Led Zeppelin
Headliner: Iron Maiden

Devil Doll
Nightwish (with Tarja Turunen)
Dissection
Norther (with Petri Lindroos)

Just because these are bands I'll (probably) never get to see live. So this line-up would surely make me shit my pants for days.

Scar Symmetry (With Christian Alvestam)
Suspyre
Windir (With Valfar...impossible obviously but would be insane)
Mirrothrone (one-man band who never plays live, so would be awesome)
Hypocrisy (because when I saw them the one and only time in 2005 I was stoned out of my mind and i dont remember much )

How bout the baritone tour?? hahaha

Iced Earth
Iron Savior
DawnRider
Falconer

Ok my top 4 would be:

Iced Earth
Edenbridge
Obituary
Opera IX (with Cadaveria as vocalist)

My ultimate line up:

Clash of the titans:
Iron maiden
Metallica
Judas Priest
Black Sabbath

Swedish invasion:
Hammerfall
Sabaton
Amon Amarth
In Flames

Fairly eclectic, but I know all 4 to put on decent shows. Also keeping in mind none of these bands are super-mega-size-stadium famous, so tickets wouldn't cost me my soul and a first born child. I'm a cheap bastard, so naturally price would also come to mind when thinking of the ideal concert.

Arch Enemy
High On Fire
Keep Of Kalessin
3 Inches Of Blood
