Make your ultimate band. Put who ever you want in it (no matter which style of play or personally they have). You can have how ever many Instruments and/or how ever many vocalist you want.

Quorthon- Vocals
Quothon- Guitars
Quothon- Bass
Quothon- Keys
Quothon- Drums

I'll take Lemmy, Chuck Norris and Mister T. The band will be called Brootal!!

Brian fair with rody walker for vocals.

'nuff said right there.

neil pert on drums.

matt harris on bass.

and mohamed sucimez playing guitar.

^ i normally think these threads are lame... But i like your one.

King Diamond - vocals
Geddy Lee - Bass
Jeff Loomis - Lead guitar
Jon Schaffer - Rhythm guitar
Neil Peart - Drums

Hmm... tough call. I think I'd go for a depressive black/death doom band with the following musicians:

Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquillity) - vocals (love his growls)
Vincent Cavanagh (Anathema) - guitar, vocals (emotional clean vocals, soulful guitar playing)
Don Anderson (Agalloch) - guitar (master of the grandpa guitar)
Draug (Svart) - bass, vocals (young but talented multi-instrumentalist)
Steven Merry (Be'lakor) - keyboards (responsible for the atmosphere in Be'lakor's songs)
Markus Hirvonen (Insomnium) - drums (he's varied and has shows discipline playing slower songs)

Guest musician:
Jonas Renkse (Katatonia) - vocals (would love to have him and Danny trading clean vocals in a song)

Or maybe a progressive technical brutal death metal band with the following musicians:

Julien Truchan (Benighted) - vocals (pig squeals and br00tal grunts)
Shaun LaCanne (Putrid Pile) - vocals (see above)
Bart Frydrychowicz (Quo Vadis) - guitar (brilliant compositions and technicality)
Muhammed Suiçmez (Necrophagist) - guitar (see above)
Sean Beasley (Dying Fetus) - bass (because he actually makes it known that he's in the recording studio)
Joanne Bench (Bolt Thrower) - keyboards (because she's a fucking boss)
Daray (Vader) - drums (just listen to The Art of War EP)

Guest musicians:
Jeroen Paul Thesseling (Pestilence) - bass solo (6-string madness motherfuckers)
Dominic "Forest" Lapointe (Augury) - bass solo (another brilliant and noticeable bassist
Yanic Bercier (Quo Vadis) - drum solo (my all-time favorite drummer, absolute technical prowess)
Proscriptor (Absu) - drum solo (probably the quickest man behind the kit)

I guess the goal was to combine some of my favorite musicians with musicians who aren't limited to one instrument and can contribute to the songwriting process. Not all of these guys are the best at their respective instruments and not all of them are even my favorite, but I think if you get these names together they could make some really interesting music.

Dave Suzuki (ex-Vital Remains) - Guitars
Dallas Toler-Wade (Nile) - Guitars, Backing Vocals
John Gallagher (Dying Fetus) - also Guitars, Backing Vocals
Glen Benton (Deicide) - Vocals
Alex Webster (Cannibal Corpse) - Bass
George Kollias (Nile) - Drums

and that would be the ultimate Death metal band

BATHORY

Geddy Lee - Bass, vocals
Neil Peart - Drums
Alex Lifeson - Guitar
Steve Wilson - Guitar, Keyboards (Considering how much I adored his work on FOABP)

It will be called Tree.

Finland all-stars

Kai Hahto - Drums
Alexi Laiho - Guitars
Jari Mäenpää - Guitars & Vocals
Tony Kakko - Clean Vocals
Tomi Joutsen - Growler
Sami Hinkka - Bass

---^ 9.5/10

Orion (Vesania, Behemoth): Lead Vocals
ICS Vortex (if you don't know, i'm sorry): Bass, backing shrieks, Lead Clean Vocals
Jari Maenpaa (Wintersun, etc.): Lead Guitar, backing clean vocals.
Ihsahn (Emporer, etc.): Rhythm Guitar, Backing clean vocals.
Sverd (Arcturus): Keyboards
Hellhammer( Mayhem, Age of Silence etc.): Drums
They'd make Technical, yet atmospheric black metal, of the better production quality.

I know some of you fucks are disgusted with this list, and who cares. But If I heard Jari, Ihsahn, and vortex doing a clean 3-peice harmony, i'd probably shit myself.

I'm not a fan of that line-up at all, but I can imagine the response to them producing music together. The fact that most of them on their own have enough of a following means any group project material would carry the highest of expectations.

And given the talent in the studio, you'd assume they'd live up to those expectations.

La Masquerade Infernale-era Arcturus. End of story.

I'm going to go with a thrash line-up here.

Steve "Zetro" Souza- Vocals
Cliff Burton- Bass
Paul Bostaph- Drums
Kerry King- Rhythm Guitar
Gary Holt- Lead Guitar

Just gotta love Steve's work on Exodus's "Tempo Of The Damned", "Fabulous Disaster" and "Force of Habit". The same goes for Gary Holt, except I'm referring to all of Exodus's other work as well. And while Kerry King is definitely one of my favorite guitarists, I prefer Gary Holt's solos more. Paul Bostaph on drums. Just listen to Slayer's song "Killing Fields" or their amazing piece of work "God Hates Us All", and add Exodus's "Shovel Headed Kill Machine" and Testament's "Formation of Damnation" to that list and then there is no more to be said. Cliff Burton is the reason I started playing bass, and I love his style of playing. Is he the best bassist who ever lived? Probably not. But is he one of the best? Most likely.

Okay, your lineups are full of win. I'm loving this thread... I'll bust my head off thinking about this tonight.

As many members as i want, eh.
Drums - either Hellhammer or Mikky Dee. Or both (2 drummers would allow for some really great drum parts)
Bass - Steve Harris
Guitar - Tony Iommi, Herman Li and Izzy Stradlin'
Guitar/cello - Samantha Escarbe
Keyboard/synth - Mustis
Violin - Katie Stone and either Sarah Pendleton or Kim Pack
Flutes/woodwinds - Thijs van Leer and Sevan Kirder
Saxophone - Dr Mikannibal
Guitar/vocals - Ihsahn, Mikael Akerfeldt and Lord Tim
Bass/vocals - Abbath
Piano/vocals - Rowan London
Vocals - Kimberly Goss, King Diamond, Rob Halford, Sharon den Adel, Marco Heitala, Piotr Wawrzeniuk, Risa Reaper, Tarja Turunen, Runhild Gammelsaeter, ICS Vortex, Lord Kaiaphas, Dominique Persi and Marcus Jupither.
Hows that for an 18 piece chior.
The 2nd violin, 2nd flute and sax would just be to fill the sound out some more. Also left out a dozen more vocalists and a couple of guitarists so it wouldn't get TOO big. The ones there would be able to handle about anything needed. And bring in Lemmy, Christofer Johnsson, Tuomas Holopainen, Arjen Lucassen and AA Nemtheanga as additional songwriters.

Daniel Droste-Vocals
Kerim-Drums
Fred Durst-Back up vocals
Alex Webster-Bassist
Ashley Jurgemeyer - Keyboards

Steve Grimmett - Vocals
Tony Dolan - Bass and vocals
Steve Harris - Bass
Tony Iommi - Guitars
Glen Tipton - Guitars
Mick Box - Guitars
Jon Lord - Organ
Phil Taylor - Drums

And if that many dudes on stage can get their shit together, they would play nothing but awesome 70s brit-rock covers and I would be a happy man.

Rob Halford - Vocals
Chuck Schuldiner - Guitar/Back up vocals
Mikael Åkerfeldt - Guitar/ Back up vocals
Dave Lombardo - Drums
Cliff Burton - Bass

I wonder if this is the thread from which Nader Sadek got his idea.

Anyways,

Lord Worm (Cryptopsy) - Cavernous cave monster sounds
Antti Bomannon (Demilich) - Tortured low end growls
Chris Barnes (Cannibal Corpse) - Lyrics from the TOTM and BAB era
Josh Hernandez (Viraemia) - Epitome of TDM guitar playing
Kyle Moeller (Viraemia) - Epitome of TDM guitar playing
Luc Lemay (Gorguts) - Beautiful dark twisted dissonant riffs
Jeroen Paul Thesseling (Pestilence, Obscura) - Best in the Bass-iness
Francesco Paoli (Hour of penance, Fleshgod Apocalypse) - For blastbeats
Steve Shalaty (Immolation) - Twisted genius with the kit

Production by Erik Rutan (Hate Eternal, Morbid Angel and 999 other DM bands) . Artwork by Wes Benscoter (Autopsy).

To an extent this is already done: Hail Of Bullets.
If I were to customize a band, it would be Death Metal/Brutal Death Metal and this would be my ideal lineup:

Drums - Krzysztof Saran (Deivos)
Vocals/Bass - Alex Camargo (Krisiun)
Guitars/Lead Guitars - Vogg (Decapitated)
Guitars/Rhythm Guitars - David Depasquale (Abysmal Torment)

Note: optionally, Martin Van Drunen on Vocals, though I think he fits a slightly less heavy formula that what I'm trying to present.

He was the main composer but didn't write everything and also didn't record everything. But if he did it would explain why the band is so average
