Might as well do another one of these...
Mikael Akefeldt - Vocals/ Guitars
Chuck Schuldiner - Guitars/ Vocals
Peter Hamill - Piano/ Vocals
Kerry Minnear - Keyboards/ Vocals
Jonas Reingold - Bass
Tomas Haake - Drums/ Spoken Voice
Danny Carey - Drums
That guy that plays flute on Psychotic Waltz's "A Social Grace" album - Flute
That would be the best band ever created. Two drummers, four vocalists, two guitars, two keyboard instruments... It would be enourmous. They would play in the style of a cross between BTBAM and J.S. Bach. Anyone with me on this?

Surely they're having lot of fun up there, include Zappa, Hendrix, Joplin, Keith Moon, tons of more, unfortunately for us.

I think If I wanted guitars I'd throw Christian Vander on them, thought I barely know any of his work.

Good thread!!!!!
Wow.
Mikael Akefeldt (Opeth, Bloodbath): Lead, Rhythm & Acoustic Guitars, Death Growls
Alex Lifeson (Rush): Rhythm & Acoustic Guitars, Backing Clean Vocals
Tony Banks (Genesis): Keyboards, Synthesizers, Organ, Piano, Mellotron, Backing Clean Vocals
John Myung (Dream Theater, Jelly Jam): Bass, Chapman Stick
Dave Mackintosh (DragonForce): Drums, Percussion
The specific sound I have in mind is of a heavy double-kick drum based, metal type of sound. Based on the members' upbringing (and the fact that parts of Genesis' "TRESPASS" lean so close to hard rock/heavy metal-THE KNIFE for one) I think he'd be perfect for this band.

Rob, a little too KC heavy perhaps? I think the OP wanted more diversity.

How many of those musicians played on the same KC albums? :p Thing is, I have a particular sound in mind, and those are the musicians. Oh, oops, amateur reading skills.

Here's one of many:
Guitars - Tommy Bolin (R.I.P) - Deep Purple/James Gang/Cobham
Bass - John Entwistle (R.I.P) - The Who
Keys - Vincent Crane (R.I.P) - Atomic Rooster
Drums - Billy Cobham - Mahavishnu
Would be a amazing Heavy Jazzy/Funk Fusion band.

Hi.
JUST FOR FUN , let's imagine a 5 piece band with members of Prog bands. You can only choose ONE member of a ANY prog band. Please tell the origin band!
VOCAL - IAN ANDERSON (JETHRO TULL) - OK, he will play flute too 
GUITAR - STEVE HOWE (YES)
BASS - JON CAMP (RENAISSANCE) - it's hard to leave Mr. Squire  out but only one from each band...
KEYBOARDS - FLAVIO PREMOLI (PFM) - There's no other group to Keith Emerson ego
DRUMS - ANDY WARD (CAMEL)
I keep trying to imagine the Folk/prog acoustic sounds, as the electric experiences too.
I am really curious to see your bands...
