Hi,

We're missing one thing here ... VANGELIS on t-spoons ... in the Heaven & Hell promotional interview and introduction to the work, he stated that t-spoons are in all of his recordings!

True story!

And many "fool'ks" here think this is a joke! They never listened to Vangelis to find where the t-spoons were ... quite amazing really when you find them, and laugh crazy!

Jeez, might as well chuck in Morrissey as well and make it really miserable.

No, Morrissey is all faux angst, basically 'poor me'. He just needs a good slap LOL

Ian Curtis on vocals then?

Roger plays rubber bands in my band (second post on the top of page 2). I have a feeling he would butt heads with Eve Plumb and Don Knotts.

I can see Roger Waters playing in a country acoustic guitar trio with Bob Dylan and Arlo Guthrie.

Well, the line-up I came with was thinking of 70's musicians (and I'm sorry, but as much as I love Pink Floyd, Waters is not among my favourite bass players). About Portnoy, he is among my favourite drummes, but I would need to have been thinking about a newer line-up of musicians, most likely prog metal... and for that, I would go with a line-up consisting of Dream Theater with some other singer... I guess my top choice for such a thing would be DIO (though he was a bit older than the Dream Theater guys).

errr....a bit like UK, Asia, GTR, and other "fantasy" prog projects?  LOL

Errr......UK managed 2 studio lp's both with a different line up...Asia managed many but most  with different lineups...and GTR did one but who cares about them anyway.
LOL

Well, there was creative tension that, even when at each others throats, resulted in some great music!  

The problems in these bands were well-documented by the artists themselves....I once saw Holdsworth bitch & moan about Bruford and UK during an IOU show (with Wackerman, Berlin). 

Having played in a few bands, I know that the best music is made when there is this tension...Fripp has often spoken about it.  Eno's "Here Come the Warm Jets!" was a compilation of musicians who apparently didn't like one another, and the result was sublime!

no flute by Gabriel, no drums by Phil?

I stand corrected---Gabriel can play flute---sure Phil can play was great in his day-- but just saw a video of him from today sadly looks like he can barely sing let alone play drums--

The band would be called 'Bloodbath' and they all end up fighting to the death on stage using their various instruments. The sole survivor gets a long, profitable solo career.
