MP-Drums
Neil Peart-Drums

It would be very interesting to see these two guys try to make the drums a lead instrument, plus they both wear sweet hats

MP-Drums
Michael Kiske-Helloween Vox
Oz Foxx-Stryper Guitar
Andy La Rocque-King Diamond Guitar
Arjen Anthony Lucassen-Ayreon Bass and Keys and Guitar
Derek Sherinian-Keys


Awesome dual/harmony leads, both with that " chirp" thingee happening.
Kiske kicking much metal ass on the mic.
Arjen is on the bass just because he' s great to have around for the songwriting and keys.
Derek is Derek...

well to create the weirdest music known to mankind i would go with
mp on drums
les claypool on bass/vox
fredrik thordendal on guitars

and for a full out rockin album
mp on drums
daniel gildenlow on guitars/vox
tony levin on bass

OK here it is the best project ever:

Drums - the mighty MP
Drums - Tomas Haake (Meshuggah)
Drums - Terry Bozzio
and...
Drums - Neal Peart

It' d be just a wonderful mass of drumming goodness!!!

oooh... drumgasm...

Who does Mike Portnoy have a desire to work with?

Who has a desire to work with Mike Portnoy?

names that come to mind:

Steven Wilson

Daniel Gildenlow

Mike also has said likely the next " project" per say he does not want keyboards (rules out Derek Sherinian)and more likely wants to be heavy.

#1
-MP on Drums
-Steven Wilson on Vocals
-Marcel Coenen on guitars
-Tony Levin on bass
-Kevin Moore on keys

#2
-MP on Drum
-Daniel Gildenlow on Vocals
-Sean Malone on Bass
-Tim Donahue on Fretless guitar
-Michael Pinnella on keys

Another suggestion would be a double drumming thing..like maybe Terry Bozzio and MP playing on drums, and then Luis Conte on percussions...that would rule!

Drums - Portnoy
Bass - Dirk Lance (Incubus)
Guitar - Eddie Van Halen, Dave Mustaine (Megadeth)
Vocals - Phil Anselmo (Pantera)



Drums - Portnoy

Steve Lukather - Guitars, Toto etc...
Stephan Lessard - Bass, Dave Matthews Band

Drums-Mike Portnoy

that' s about it

The Amazingly Cool Guys Supergroup Of DOOM~!

(obviously picked because all of the people involved are great people and great musicians )

Drums: The Man
Lead Guitar: Bryan May
Second lead guitar: Ty Tabor
Bass: John Entwistle, if he was still with us

I think the interaction between Mike and Bryan would be cool, because Mike is a top chap, as is Ty and BHM is The Nicest Man In Rock. JE was a super-cool guy too, from what I' ve seen; he did an interview with Sound Control magazine. The interviewer was only meant to be at Ox' s house for a couple of hours, but ended up staying up to all hours checking out JE' s collection of guitars & basses and generally shooting the shit.
