Storm Rider:
This is pretty simple: talk about your fantasy bands. Any musicians, live or dead, that you could shove together and have make music.

I came up with this idea when I formed in my own little world a group filled with my favorite thrash metal musicians.

Vocals: David White (Heathen)
Lead Guitar: Alex Skolnick (Testament)
Rhythm Guitar: Jon Schaeffer (Iced Earth, Demons and Wizards)
Bass Guitar: Steve DiGiorgio (Testament, Iced Earth, Death)
Drums: Gene Hoglan (Dark Angel, Death, Testament, Strapping Young Lad)

Considering the journeyman nature of several of these guys, this one wouldn't actually be too much of a longshot if A) Heathen were still together, and B) Skolnick hadn't left Testament for his jazz career (which, by the way, is totally awesome). Basically, I started with the Skolnick-Schaeffer tandem, because I don't feel Iced Earth really ever had a great lead guitarist, and I thought of how kickass it would be if they teamed up. From there, I sort of just filled out the rhythm section (both of whom were in Death because of Death's nature to just hire the best available musicians for one or two albums), and then picked the least shitty thrash vocalist I could think of (the guy from Sodom is pretty good, but I don't think he would work well with these guys at all).

So... yeah. Go!

Kai:
I totally wanted to form a supergroup of freaks. Some of them are dead. Others wear masks. Multiple members will be sharing roles, because having both of them go at the same time would be so awesome it gives me cancer.


Vocals: Mike Patton (Mr. Bungle, 80,000 side projects), Frank Zappa,that guy who sings in the Residents (since, you know, nobody knows completely WHO THE FUCK THEY ARE. I have ideas though.),Captain Beefheart/Don Van Vliet (Captain Beefheart) and Tom Waits.
Lead Guitar: Buckethead (Buckethead,80,000 side projects)
Rhythm Guitar:Frank Zappa
Bass Guitar: Les Claypool (Primus, 80,000 more side projects)
Drums: John French (Captain Beefheart). Seriously, can you imagine playing drums to Beefheart? I mean, you have to be fucking good; Beefheart wrote his drum scores by trying to recreate the sounds of him washing the dishes. Honestly.

They're a bunch of freaks; Although I really do like the idea of having 5 vocalists. Write vocals for all five of them and have them sing them at the same time.
