Guitar: Glen Tipton
Guitar: KK Downing
Bass: Ian Hill
Drums: Simon Phillips
Keyboard: what's that...?
Priest are the ultimate METAL BAND... except for the drums, which always
have been good, but not excellent. A young Simon Phillips would be more
than cool..

Christoph Uhl - Logar's Diary
My dream team I´d love to collaborate look like this:
Vocals: Wiktor Söderström (the
guy from Swedish Metallers Seven)
or maybe Anders Zackrisson (the old Nocturnal
Rites voice)
or maybe Gerd Salewski (the first Chroming
Rose voice)
or maybe Andreas Knoblich (the vocals from
the first Scanner-CD)
or maybe Morby (from Domine, unique voice
and SOOOO powerfull)
Guitar: Christoph Uhl (in fact that´s
myself, hehe, not ´cause I play so well, but to be part of the team)
Guitar: Kai Hansen (So I´m not the
ugliest in the band and his solos are brilliant)
or better Tomas Wäppling (from Freternia,
I think I would harmonise with him)
or best Mikael Dahl (from Crystal Eyes, a
genius on his instrument)
Bass: Tomi Göttlich (from Ex-Grave
Digger, now Rebellion, I love his faces on stage!)
Drums: Daniel Zimmermann (Freedom Call, a
multi-talent)
Keyboard: Alex Staropoli (Rhapsody, brilliant
techniques, always different)
~ Asked by Tommy, May 2002
Steve Williams - Power Quest
Vocals - D.C Cooper (Silent Force)
Guitar - Adrian Smith (Iron Maiden)
Guitar - Michael Romeo (Symphony X)
Bass - Steve Harris (Iron Maiden)
Keyboards - Vitalij Kuprij (Artension)
Drums - Jorg Michael (Stratovarius)
This line up would produce the ultimate rhythm section..you can't get better than Jorg and Steve. The twin guitar axis of Smith/Romeo would provide awesome melody combined with amazing technique and the Keyboards of Vitalij Kuprij would be hard to top. The icing on the cake is DC Cooper....killer vocals which he produces effortlessly! What a line up!

Adam Bickers - Power Quest
Vocals: Rob Halford
Guitar: Jeff Waters (Annihilator)
Guitar: Myself
Bass: Steve Digiorgio (Sadus, Death, Testament)
Drums: Nick Barker (Dimmu Borgir, Lockup)
Keyboard: Jens Johanson
Comments:
Rob Halford would have to be my choice of vocalist, after all, he has
the voice of a metal god! I caught Annihilator live here in the UK a few
days ago - they blew me away.
Jeff Waters is one of the most talented and versatile guitarists I've
ever had the privilege of hearing, a must.
Steve Digiorgio is so inventive with his bass playing that I'd have to
choose him. I've seen Nick Barker play live several times now. No-one
demolishes a kit quite like him. He's fast, solid and watertight. Awesome!
Jens Johanson, well need I say more. A true virtuoso.
I included myself in the lineup purely because I'd love to meet such esteemed
members of the metal community!
~ Asked by Tommy, May 2002
Frédéric Leclercq - Heavenly
Vocals: Russel Allen (SYMPHONY X) would probably be my first choice. I love all the emotions he can put in his voice...or Eric Adams (MANOWAR) cos he's purely amazing!
Guitar: Jeff Waters (ANNHILATOR), for all the rythm guitars...he rules!!!he's also a very good soloist, with cool rock'n'roll licks.
Guitar: to be honest, I would love to play the second guitar, to be involved in this project! :-) but my job is to create the perfect dreamteam, so... Steve Vai would be perfect for all the solo guitars, what do you think? :)
Bass: Nikki Sixx (MÖTLEY CRÜE), for the songwriting and for the attitude.in this dreamteam we need a bad guy, uh!
Drums: Pete Sandoval (MORBID ANGEL).the best I've ever heard.he's soooooo fast...
Keys: Jens Johansson (STRATOVARIUS) OF COURSE! WHO ELSE COULD IT BE?
~ Asked by Tommy, May 2002
Nick Olsson - Wolf
Vocals: Marc Boals - Powerful
vocals with great range.
Guitar: Yngwie J. Malmsteen - He'd have to
sign a contract not to fire
everyone else, especially not the singer.
Guitar: Uli Jon Roth - He'd have to sign
a contract not to sing.
Bass: Marcel Jacob - One of the few bass
player that can match these guitar
heroes.
Drums: Vinnie Appice - Wonderfully primitive
and heavy.
Keys: John Lord - Do I need to comment this
guy? No, I thought so.

Peter Wiberg - Freternia
Vocals: Pasi Humppi
Guitar: Tomas Wäppling
Guitar: Glenn Tipton
Bass: Myself
Drums: Stefan Kaufmann
Keyboard: Tommie Johansson
This would be a great lineup for Freternia.
~ Asked by Tommy, May 2002
Andrea Tito - Mesmerize
Vocals: Bruce Dickinson (he's
the master of metal, no doubt about it)
Bass: Steve Harris (this is quite a natural
choice for me, because he's the main reason why I choose years ago to
pick up a bass!)
Guitar: Kai Hansen (the guy who invented
modern power metal, he's a genius!)
Guitar: Adrian Smith (he's the most underrated
of the three guitar players in Iron Maiden, but in my opinion he's the
best)
Drums: Charlie Benante (I've always liked
his inventive style in Anthrax)
Keyboard: No fucking keyboards! We're talking about metal, damnit! :)

Esa Ahonen - Cryonic Temple
Vocals: Rob Halford
Guitar: KK Downing
Guitar: Glenn Tipton
Bass: Ian Hill
Drums: Scott Travis
Keyboard: Don Airey
This line up is of course Judas Priest line up on the Painkiller album. Even if Don Airey never been an official member he has been their studio Keyboardplayer for many years (actually since early 80's I think). Rob, KK, Glenn Ian together with various great drummers, has recorded classic Heavy Metal album suchs as "Defenders of The Faith", "Brittish Steel", "Screaming for Vengeance" and "Painkiller".

Björn Goosses - Night In Gales
Vocals: well, this would be a carnivorous choir, consisting of myself, Daxx Riggs, Ronnie James Dio, Jeff Martin & Glenn Danzig... of course Tom Araya could do some background screamin´...
Guitar: probably Joe Satriani & Zakk Wylde... in case one of them is ill at a show, i could accept Marty Friedman, too...

This would be an exciting mix. Perhaps they would not fit really with each other. I mean Robs vocals with keys?? And the two virtuos guitarists. But it would surely be exciting.
