The rules are simple. Make a band with a lead singer, two guitarists, a bass player, and a drummer. They can be from any band ever, but only one person per band.

My ultimate band is...

Lead Singer- Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)
Guitarist- Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath)
Guitarist- David Gilmour (Pink Floyd)
Bass- Cliff Burton (Metallica)
Drummer- Keith Moon (The Who)

Dickinson can hit any note with his spectacular voice, while Tony Iommi sets down amzing riffs withnhis guitar. Gilmour can use his godly guitar skills to unleash amazing solos, while Burton's bass while sound off along with Moon's insane drumming antics.

Lead Singer- Chris Cornell (Soundgarden, Audioslave)
Guitarist- Dave Mustaine (Megadeath)
Guitarist- Steve Vai (loads of solo work, worked with Zappa)
Bass- Cliff Burton (Metallica) OK, I'll go with that. Alternate choice, Les Claypool
Drummer- Dave Lombardo (Slayer)

lead singer- Varg Vikerns (Burzum)
Guitar- Kerry King (slayer)
Back up vocals Tom Araya (Slayer)
Drummer lars Ulrich (mettalica)
Bass (Iscariah (Stian Smørholm) Of Immortal.

Mars Bonfire (Steppenwolf) - lead vocal
East Bay Ray (Dead Kennedys) - vocal/guitars
Ron Asheton (The Stooges) - bass
Doug Clifford (CCR) - drums
There. Finished; refined to perfection.

Drummer: Neil Peart
...for obvious reasons...:cool: :)

Lead singer - Matthew Bellamy (Muse)
Guitar - Brian May (Queen)
Guitar - Slash (Guns n Roses)
Bass - No earthly idea. John Deacon? He was pretty good.
Drums - uuh... dunno - maybe that guy that did Drum Duet with Phil Collins, he was pretty awesome. Chuck something I think?

But yeah, Matthew Bellamy can actually sing the balls off a donkey, and Brian and Slash could have some awesome solo duels - or just wail on guitars in awesome ways.

I agree with this, except instead of the CoB and DT people, just mesh the three bands together: Mudvayne, TooL, and APC. Of course, Maynard leads them all - Billy and Kud are backup singers.
