Adrian Belew

YES! That would be nuts though! They're guitar styles could probably mesh well together, albeit sound a little bit insane

Ok...two possibilities:

- Dev + Belew + Robert Fripp + Mike Kenneally + Doug wimbish + JoJo Mayer = Lots of ambience, vocal harmonies and drum n' bassy grooves. Damn, this would melt some brains.

- Dev + Melissa Auf Der Maur + Dave Grohl = BLOODY ARTSY RAWK WITH BALLS!! (err, and boobs too). It would sound organic and heavy as a fart from Earth's core. And also a bit radio friendly as well.

My ULTIMATE lineup:

Dev - Lead vox and guitar
Mike Portnoy - Skins
Mikael Akerfeld - vox and rhythm guitar
Zakk Wylde - Lead guitar
Toumas Hallopainen - Keys
Geddy Lee - Bass

Heavy/Prog/Goth heaven!

Impressive, but I can see the Egotrip War from miles away! (exception made for Dev and Akerfeld, he seems to be a funny guy )

Mr Lee seems pretty ego-free to me, too!

That I could see working really well actually.

For sure - I think Portnoy would be the biggest egomaniac out of the bunch, no offense to him. I love Geddy! He seems like he'd be a nice guy, I bet he and Devin could cook something tasty up. That's a good line up, I'd love to see that happen

Devin Townsend - Guitar/Vocals
Steve Howe - Guitar

Some sort of guitar/classical style duet



EDIT: Tommy Emmanuel...like a 3 way guitar orgy...lots of cool harmonies and classical/prog stuff

HevyDevy +
The Young Gods +
The League of Gentlemen +
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum.

Yeah, I suck. It can't get better than that, right?

I´d like to see the Dev collaborate with Gene Hoglan, Jed Simon and Byron Stoud.....again. That would be awesome

No, seriously!

Otherwise I´d like to see Devin produce the next Enslaved Album and do the clean-Vox on it.

I had a funny thought for this thread: Jimmy Page.

Or Thomas Erak.

Those would be crazy collaborations.

Oh oh I just thought of the Duplantier brothers. How awesome would that be.

Nick Cave

Interesting idea... that would be a menacing album, methinks! Cool though, none the less.

As can I. I like that one...


On the Portnoy/Dev/Akerfeldt/etc lineup...
You're putting Zakk Wylde in there? Why? He just does pentatonic stuff in a million different ways... the best stuff Zakk has done has been his acoustic/country stuff. Without a shadow of a doubt.

As far as random musicians go, here's a list;
Dev - Guitar, Vocals
Les Claypool - Bass
Brann Dailor - Drums

It would be insanity. But it would be awesome. I can see it being either really groovy, really technical, or just fucking bouncey as all hell.
