It doesn't need to make sense or be realistic but I know everyone here has thought up a metal dream team (or something similar) before. For example, here are a couple of the many "rosters" I've penned during math class:

"Vogg" Kiełtyka-guitar
Jeff Loomis-solos
Johan Hegg-vocals
George Kollias-drums
Alex Webster-bass
Michael Jordan-shooting guard/synth


or (as an example of a rather ridiculous mix of musicians)

Jari Maenpaa-vocals/lead guitar
Inferno-Drums
Alex Camargo-bass
Corpsegrinder-lead vocalist

Chuck Schuldiner-Lead guitars, vocals
Fenriz-Drums,back up vocals
David Davidson(revocation-Lead guitars
Bill Steer-Rythem guitars
Steve digorgio-Bass

Bill Steer-Rythem guitars
Steve digorgio-Bass

Max Cavalera - Vocals/Rythm Guitar
Kirk Hammett - Lead Guitar
Matt Freeman - Bass

But I'm also eager to listen to that real super band that has just formed over in the States. Dave Grohl, Josh Homme and John Paul Jones:
Them Crooked Vultures

I've seen this same thread come up and disappear at least 5 times. I think theres a reason why...

I knew I had seen a thread like this but couldn't find it.

Lead Vocals: King Diamond
Backing Vocals: Hansi, Barlow and Halford
Guitar (and vocals): Karl Sanders
Guitar (and vocals): Jon Scafer
Bass: Steve Harris
Drums: Gene Hoglan

And the music would be written by Andy (from King Diamond) and Jon.

Who cares about having a whole dream band? The only important thing is having Garm in it. If there's Garm you can be sure it will rule, that guy knows no wrong.

Michael Aekerfeldt - Guitar
Paul Masvidal - Guitar
Martin Lopez - Drums (jazz and metal drummers own, especially when you get one who does both)
Martin Mendez - Bass
Claudio Sanchez - Vocals (thats right, I said it)

Bruce Dickinson (Vocals)
Charles Schuldiner (lead guitar)
Dave Murray (lead guitar)
Mike Portnoy (drums)
Steve Harris (bass)

Phil Anselmo-vocals
Alex Sckolnick-guitar

Tomasz "Orion" Wróblewski-bass
Horgh-drums

Yes, I'm sure there was such a thread here.. Because I posted there; however I think it was in previous version of forum. So it may have been deleted..

By the way if I want to make a simple line-up, it would be a mixture of Aborym and Mayhem.. Aborym is dreamy itself. Attila, Faust, Nysrok, M Fabban, Prime Evil, Seth..

I cant begin to imagine who would be in my dream band. so we'll just try a hear n aid II and leave it at that

James Hetfield: Lead Vocals & Guitar
Alexi Laiho: Guitar & Backing Vocals
Jason Newstead: Bass & Backing Vocals
Frost: Drums

Vocals- Chuck Schuldnier
Guitar- Randy Rhoads
Bass- Cliff Burton
Drums- John Bonham

This should be interesting to see:

Vocals/Guitar - Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth)
Guitar/Backing Vocals - Alexi Laiho (Children of Bodom)
Bass - Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
Drums - Nick Menza (Megadeth)
Keyboard - Kevin Moore (Dream Theater)

This would be an interesting mix, though Im sure egos would get in the way of great music in something like this.
Mat Barlow - Male/Lead Vocals (Iced Earth)
Simone Simons - Female/Lead Vocals (Epica)
Mikael Akerfeldt - Growls/ Guitars (Opeth)
Joe Satriani - Guitars (Solo, G3)
James Myung - Bass (Dream Theater)
Hellhammer - Drums (Mayhem, Dimmu Borgir, Arcturus)
Jon Oliver - Piano/Keyboards/Synths (Savatage ex)

I think this would be interesting:

Vocals - Russell Allen (Symphony X)
Rhythm Guitars - Mille Petrozza (Kreator)
Lead Guitars - Jari Maenpaa (Wintersun)
Bass Guitar - Dave Ellefson (ex-Megadeth)
Drums - Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater)
Keyboards - Henrik Klingenburg (Sonata Arctica)

Vocals - Johan Hegg (Amon Amarth)
Bass - Jeroen Paul Thesseling (Obscura, ex-Pestilence)
Drums - Inferno (Behemoth)
Guitar - Marty Freidman (ex-Megadeth)
Guitar - Sonny Carson (Atheist, Gnostic)

I guess it would be a death metal band.

Your guys' band´s all suck!!!!!! just messing, dont get all butt_hurt, seen some good ones, although I know alot of people hate this dude I LOVE his work, and would like to see a colaboration between these two, the rest of the band I really dont care to think about right now
