- 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.

That I could see working really well actually.

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.

Why did I put Zakk in? Coz to me he absolutely smokes as a guitar player, his sound is awesome and he writes cool riffs. That is all.

I don't know if this was said but Dev and Ihsahn from Emperor would sure hit the fuckin spot

I still think something duety with Steve Howe from Yes...acousticy stuff

Ooooh.... I like the idea of Dev doing an all-acoustic album in general. Would be very interesting.

i think dev n mike patton........music from heaven

I don't see that working, as much as I idolise(d) both of them. Townsend is too sincere to work with Patton, who hasn't done anything without STRONG sarcastic/roleplaying undertones in the last..... forever. Patton's always had this attitude of "I know what I'm doing sounds good, but I don't give too much of a shit about it", which is the exact opposite of Townsend.

I think the only kind of collaboration that could be necessary with Dev is a nice female singer on a mellower type album (almost again-style). The lady from Sleepytime Gorilla Museums voice would go well with his.

His vocal range is too broad to need another male singer, and I reckon any musical input from anyone else would only distract Dev. He doesn't need it.

Ithink him and David Byrne would be interesting. Not necessarily amazing

Ha I'd never thought of that - but that would be wild though. Extremely weird.

Maybe some Enosification in there too?!

Mikee Goodman. The guy may not be a beautiful singer (he sounds like a pissed tramp), but his lyrics have a lot of....texture. Very deep. He also sounds totally bonkers.

Infact, SikTh should just re-form and do a song with Devy.

Misha Mansoor, aka Bulb.

I know Bulb loves Devy, so I'm sure he would be receptive.

Also, I'd love to see what Dev could do with a band like Gojira.
