BATHORY!!!!

The Nordland saga was supposed to feature TWO more albums, and considering how I love the two Quorthon managed to complete, I wish we could bring him back so he could at least finish his work on those.



Indeed, the chemistry between the musicians, as well as their individual talents, is a beauty on its own.

He did indeed do a good job on the DVD, which might be why I'm so irritated that he couldn't do the exact same thing a few months prior.
Masquerade was great too.

I also did like his singing on SFP, but the song itself was much too long and rambled around after the first 2 or 3 minutes. Close, but no cigars.

I really would have liked to have seen Exodus while Zetro was still in the band, preferably right after Tempo of the Damned came out cuz that was the album that introduced me to them. They're still rad with Dukes live but I would have liked to have seen them with Souza. The original BBB lineup would've been tight to experience back in the day as well.

Death, of course. And I'd prefer if Chuck was alive.

I'm gonna second Windir and Bathory (two more Nordlands would have been awesome, assuming Quorthon wasn't bored of it by then), maybe also Pantera. Metallica with Cliff would be a good one but, like, what if Cliff couldn't "save" the band? What if it would just end up in disappointment for the rabid fans? AJFA was a good album anyway, and the s/t had some rawkin' tunes.

This is probably just fanboyism but Iced Earth's lineup on Alive in Athens sounded tight as fuck and Tarnowski's leads actually improved over the originals.

Ensiferum with Jari
Death/Control Denied
Metallica with Burton
In Flames pre 1997 lineup
Windir
Bathory
Exodus with Paul Baloff

Fields of The Nephilim - With original lineup from the 80s and early ninties
Dimmu Borgir - With lead guitars Astennu, keyboards Stian Aarstad, Bass Nagash and drums Tjodalv.
In The Woods.. - Reuniting to make another album.
Cradle of Filth - With lineup on the excellent Dusk And Her Embrace album
David Bowie - With Mick Ronson (RIP) on guitars.
Tristania - With Morten Veland on vocals

Lord_Lexy: really? if you go on youtube, you can hear her "sing" wishmaster, sleeping sun and nemo...

Konig_ov_Hel: I have to admit that i haven't seen them live with annette so this is based off of the youtube clips i've seen/heard and its not good.

i also agree with what metallica what could have been if burton was still around

Sons of Chaos. They were really good unique Tech Brutal Death but broke up after two albums.

Cannibal Corpse with Chris Barnes on vocals and Bob Rusay on guitars...and Katalepsy with Nikita on vocals and that old drummer whose name I can't remember now...

And fucking hell I want LAST DAYS OF HUMANITY back!

Pathogen. A band that made one album and then broke up a few years later. But goddammit that one album was a masterpiece in non-gay melodeath.

Black Sabbath with Ozzy
Deicide with Hoffman brothers
Sepultura with Cavalera brothers
Megadeth with members of Rust in Peace

Burzum with varg on everything??? XD

Kyuss 1994 line up None greater!

Dark Angel 1987 lineup!!! With Ron Rinehart on vocals.

I prefer the 86 lineup. Doty sounded frenzied and manic; Rinehart just sounds kinda dull.

Ditto. At least we have 'Rainbow Rising', an utter masterpiece.

Dani Filth, Paul Ryan, Paul Allender, Robin Graves, Ben Ryan, Nicholas Barker.

They had it right, and then they lost it.

How about Demilich, they were crazy, i would love another album by them!

Emperor with the 93 lineup would be nice. I always thought Faust's drumming fit their style better, well at least back then. Also, of course, Mayhem circa 1990 with Euronymous but Atilla instead of Dead. I'd love to see what kind of riffs Euro would be making today.

Spawn of Possession. Really sick tech death <3.

But they are still active.

I would've loved to have seen Rottrevore still active. Hearing an album with the heaviness of Iniquitous, plus a more modern production, would've been damn excellent.

so you also don't 'get' Time Does Not Heal then??
Rinehart's performance is stunning!

Acid Bath, Acid Bath, Acid Bath.

The only one i wish for is Morbid Saint!

- Steve tucker and Eric rutan with Morbid Angel
- Hoffman brothers with deicide
- Steve Souza with Exodus

Seconded.

She may not be as great as everyone makes her out to be, but she's sure as hell better than that Anette bitch.

I wholeheartedly agree. My bad for the double post.

Nah, not really. Annette's not bad at all.

I honestly think Megadeth circa Rust In Peace is alot better .. i mean .. Marty Friedman, Nick Menza and Dave Ellefson is the perfect line-up.

Although Chris Poland is also very good, i just prefer Marty better =)

Selefice. Definately and without another word, Selefice.

Tapping The Vein Era Sodom with Frank Blackfire as a second guitarist.

+1

He is okay, but rather boring. I love Doty's crazy performance on Darkness Descends.

Sounds like your run of the mill pop singer to me..

Black sabbeth's original line up with Ozzy Osbourne.

I really, really wish Firewind still had the line-up from the Forged by Fire album... damn. I miss Chity and Stian! Best vocalist and best drummer, respectively, that they've ever had, in my opinion.

Malevolent Creation with their lineup from Retribution
Death with Chuck Schuldiner
Nocturnus with their lineup from Thresholds
Dark Angel

Nasum and Khanate. Maybe another Teeth Of Lions Rule The Divine album would be cool too.

I kinda wish the original members of Ensiferum would get back together and do an album with the new line-up.
