Hmmmm.

Vocals: Hansi Kursch (Blind Guardian)

Guitars: Adrian Smith (Iron Maiden)
Bass: Jari Kainulainen (Stratovarius) or Steve Harris (Iron Maiden). If you want picked bass, then Joey DeMaio (Manowar)

Keyboards: Jens Johansson (Stratovarius)

I think I'd be quite amazed with such a lineup. Wow.

[htcdude]

I think I'd be quite amazed with such a lineup. Wow.

Without any DF member? I doubt it

[Twilight Legionnaire]

I highly doubt any DF member can match these guys Both in composition, and in musical feeling.

[Inventariado]

It should be something like this:

GUITAR: Yngwie Malmsteen / Marty Friedman / Timo Tolkki
VOCALS: Michael Kiske / Timo Kotipelto / Mark Boals
KEYBOARDS: Jens Johansson / Vitalij Kuprij
BASS: Jari Kainulainen
DRUMS: Jörg Michael

They can rotate for the tours. And of course, they all should make a song like "We are the word, we are the children" and invite several vocalists... Andre Matos, Tony Kakko, Edu Falaschi, Goran Edman, JJ Soto...

[Before The Winter]

Vocals, Guitars, keyboards, Bass and Drums...

[NeonVomit]

Death/Black metal band:

Vocals: Mikael Stanne - Dark Tranquility
Guitar & Vocals: Ihsahn - Emperor
Guitar & Vocals: Sakis Tolis - Rotting Christ
Bass: Steve DiGiorgio - Death/etc.
Keyboards: Martin Powell - Cradle of Filth

Pure Metal band:

I honestly can't think of anyone better than Jens and Jari. John Myung and Carl Cadden-James are serious contenders for Jari, and Janne Warmen and Chris Ingles are also tight on Jens, but not quite

[htcdude]

I highly doubt any DF member can match these guys Both in composition, and in musical feeling.

Have you even listened to DrafgonForce????

[Twilight Legionnaire]

Yes, I have. Speed means nothing, at least to me. Some of the best guitar players in the world weren't uber-fast dudes (I rarely ever see Joe Satriani playing faster than I do. And you can't even compare )

I recommend listening to Adrian Smith's playing on Iron Maiden, and Thomen Stauch's highly technical drumming on Blind Guardian.

[galahad993]

Clean vocals- Mike Matijevic (Steelheart/Rockstar movie vocals)
Hardcore vocals- Trevor Phipps (Unearth)
Guitar- Alex Skolnick (Testament/Savatage), Yngwie Malmsteen
Guitar- Dave Mustaine (Megadeth), Stefan Weinerhall ( Falconer)
Bass- Jari Kainulainen (Strat)
Drums- Robert Sweet (Stryper), Tommy Portimo (Sonata Arctica)
Keyboards- Henrik Klingenberg ( Sonata Arctica)

You should see them live...they have the skill and speed
