I could toss together so many. Basically I have "Pop-punk", "Metally-Punk Rock" and "Hardcore" supergroups purely from trying to figure out one 'punk rock' group.

POPPYISH-PUNK (4-piece);

VOCALS & RHYTHM GUITAR - JOEY CAPE (Lagwagon, Bad Astronaut, Me First & The Gimme Gimmes (Guitar))

VOCALS & BASS - BRENDAN KELLY (The Lawrence Arms, The Falcon (Guitar/Vocals))

LEAD GUITAR - ROB RAMOS (Strung Out)

DRUMS - PAOLO 'WHATEVER THE FUCK HE'S CALLED' (Beer Bong)

This would be a split vocal affair. Matching Cape's whimsical and moving lyrics from Bad Astronaut, with Kelly's raucous 'screams' of synicism from The Falcon. Mix this with the drive and guitar abilities of Rob Ramos (Who favours the 'poppier' side of SO), have him bust out some solo's here and there, and finally mix in the sheer AWESOMENESS that is Beer Bong's drummer. Dirty Italian, he's too fucking good. Personally Kelly/Cape would mix together amazingly. Rob and Paolo would go together well too, how they'd mix together though, I dunno. Sound wise I'd look at something like The Falcon mixed with "Element Of Sonic Defiance" circa Strung Out, with some crazy fucking drumming. So not really 'poppy' now I think about it. But throw in some great melodies, which Cape is capable of writing, some quiet acoustic bits and singalongs (Which both vocalists have done) and you could have yourself a shit hot band. Plus using the spaceyness and proggyness of Bad Astronaut, to tie in with the EOSD circa Strung Out sound, it'd be great, as they contemplate each other perfectly.

I can't be arsed to do anymore...I have like fucking 6 or 7 though...not just punk-rock.

[Farmer Reil]

These are always so hard... Especially picking a vocalist ¬_¬. Okay, so that's the easiest bit. But if Sammet was unavailable for some reason, THEN it would be hard.

[Power Metal Supergroup]

Vocals: Tobias Sammet [Edguy]

Lead Guitar: Herman Li [Dragonforce]

Rhythm Guitar: Marcus Siepen [blind Guardian].

Bass Guitar: Markus Grosskopf [Helloween]

Drums: Felix Bohnke [Edguy]

Keyboards: Vadim Pruzhanov [Dragonforce] and Tuomas Holopainen [Nightwish], just because having dueling keyboard solos between those two would be awesome.

Guest Vocalists on album versions: Bruce Dickinson, Tony Kakko [sonata Arctica], Hansi Kursch [blind Guardian], André Matos [Angra/Shaaman], Joacim Cans [Hammerfall].

[symphonic Metal Supergroup]

Vocals: Tobias Sammet and André Matos, with female parts by Sharon den Adel and Tarja Turunen

Guitars: Luca Turilli, Yngwie Malmsteen

Bass Guitar: Markus Grosskopf

Drums: Felix Bohnke

Keyboards: Tobias Sammet

Yeah, so it's essentially the same band, but without the rhythm guitar drowning everyone out, which makes way for Luca to be awesome. ¬_¬ Man, Luca and Tobi in the same band on a more permanent basis would rock so much. Tobi's songwriting and vocals, with Luca's compisitions and guitars... mmmm...

I've got three...one kind of art-indie, one sort of experimental metal, and one wall of noise headfuck. I put more thought into this than I normally would, and have now fallen in love with te concepts of these bands.

Vocals: Lou Reed (circa 1967) (The Velvet Underground)

Guitar: Johnny Marr (The Smiths)

Bass: James Jameson (Various Motown records)

Drums: Billy Ficca (Television)

Violin: Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy)

Vocals: Mike Patton (Mr Bungle, Fantomas, Faith No More, Peeping Tom, etc.)

Guitar: Marc Ribot (Tom Waits)

Bass: Les Claypool (Primus, etc.)

Drums: Dave Lombardo (Slayer, Fantomas)

Saxophone: John Zorn

Vocals: Mike Patton & Bjork

Bass: Stephen O'Malley (SunnO))) )

Feedback and sampling: Merzbow

Violin: John Cale (The Velvet Underground)

Oh, and Flea being named as "the best funk bassist" hurts. Larry Graham, Bootsy Collins and George Porter say hello. Even Les Claypool has the whole funk/rock bass thing down miles better than Flea.

Mine was a band at a point in time, but I'm listing it here since any material by the band has never surfaced (except for a cover from another band).

I'm talking about Tapeworm, of course.

And Dave Mustaine > Everbody else.

[Skummy]

Rob Trujillo's a better bassist than Cliff Burton, IMO. He just hasn't been given much opportunity to show that in Metallica, if he's at all involved in the writing process for their next album, then maybe it'll be more apparent there. Listen to his stuff with Infectious Grooves, or even with Jerry Cantrell, he could run rings around Cliff.
