What would you say the ultimate metal band would be?
I'd say..

Vocals-James Hetfield (Metallica)
Guitar1-Slash(GnR,VR)
Guitar2-Dimebag(Pantera)R.I.P
Bass-Steve Harris(Iron Maiden)
Drums-Joey Jordinson(Slipknot)

Man that's one crappy ass metal band you've got right there, only person there with balls is Slash.
Joey sucks, get Dave Mackintosh (Bal Sagoth Atlantis Ascendant) to do it.
Guitar? Can name millions beter than Slash and Dimebag, Steve Vai and Joe Satriani for ****s sake. Vocals? Go power metal here and you'll find yourself fully trained opera singers instead of that fag Hetfield, if you're not into that, take a trip to Scandinavia, the local amateur bands have better vocals XD.

EDIT: Someone noticed I was talking ****e XD. Bollocks.

dimerocks

Paul Gilbert - Guitar
Les Claypool - Bass
Igor Cavalera - Drums
I can't think of a vocalist who would fit that so Les and Paul can share the vocals.

I doubt if Danny Carey has and will ever play a gravity blast. Just not his style or taste, I'd imagine.
Also, why would you want Steve Vai and Joe Satriani as your guitar duo in a metal band? All they'd do is play lydian dominant themed solos for three minutes of a five minute song, and probably not one metal riff would be stuck in, as they're more rock oriented guitarists anyway. And opera vocals? Few bands can pull that off and not sound utterly and nonsensically pretentious.

Only 3 minutes?
:P

Anyways, at least somebody knows what they're talking about, I expected with the responses I'm getting here just to spout black metal drumming terminology and have people wonder what the hell I'm on about.
Anyways, True, Steve Vai and Satriani would just sit around and throw progressive down your throats, but then again, I'm a fan of progressive metal, although, you're probably right that they wouldn't suit a metal band.
I also never said that opera vocals should be used, just that there are much better singers who can reach gore metal lows, and also reach opera level highs.

To be honest, my perfect metal bands already exist, Freedom Call \m/.

James LaBrie is opera-trained, but I doubt you'll hear him do death vocals.
