A supergroup is basically when several members of different bands get together, often as a sideproject.
Example of supergroups:
Head Wound City - members from The Locust, The Blood Brothers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Holy Molar

In this thread, talk about what would be your favourite supergroups, [b]create your own.[/b]
Pick your favourite members from different bands and put them together, try to imagine what the sound would be like.
I'll start with one:
Vocals - Rich Lombardi from [b]Cloacal Kiss[/b]. He doesn't sound human, seriously.
Guitar - Christopher "Arpmandude" Arp from [b]PsyOpus[/b]. Amazing guitar playing.
Drums - Jon Karel previously from [b]The Number Twelve Looks Like You[/b]. His drumming is beautiful, and he's now actually in a band with Rich Lombardi called The Sawtooth Grin.
Keyboardist - Erik Engstrom from [b]HORSE the band[/b]. I just had to include him because I love keyboards and he's my favourite keyboardist. v:v:v
As for bass I don't know, I don't even know the names of any cool bass players except Les Claypool, but he doesn't really fit in a group with the other guys here. :v:
The sound of this band would just be the most amazing thing in the world.
Guitar & Vocals - Michael Akerfeldt of Opeth
Guitar & Vocals - Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree
Bass Guitar - Chris Squire of Yes
Drums - Gavin Harrison of Porcupine Tree
Keyboard - Derek Sherinian of Planet X
Honestly you could just get Akerfeldt in as the second guitarist of Porcupine Tree and you'd have the ultimate band there.

Wishful thinking.

Yeah, I realised after I posted it I was just listing members from bands I like.
That said, the ones I listed are very good at what they do.
Steve Howe from Yes
Carl Palmer from ELP
John Whetton from King Crimson
oh wait

Okay here's a little more serious try.
Bass guitar & vocals - Caleb Scofield (of Cave In, Old Man Gloom and Zozobra)
Lead guitar - Dave Knudson (of Botch and Minus the Bear)
Rhythm guitar - Stephen Carpenter (of Deftones)
Drums - Dave Turncrantz (of Russian Circles)
Not so sure about the rhythm guitarist, but otherwise, shit would be wack. Honestly.
Vocals - Michael Stipe (R.E.M.)
Guitar - Bek David Campbell (Beck)
Bass - Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
Drums - Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Them Crooked Vultures)
This should make some pretty good grungy alternative.

Lead Guitar: Jimi Hendrix
Rhythm Guitar: Jimmy Page
Bass Guitar: John Entwistle
Drums: Neil Peart

the problem with some supergroups is that usually the whole is better than the sum of its parts.
for example, audioslave. soundgarden is great, rage against the machine is great, but together? not so much.
or, if led zeppelin was robert plant, jimmy page, jon entwistle, and keith moon? probably wouldntve been so great either
what about when Hendrix was going to join ELP does that count as a fantasy supergroup

That'll need to be one big stage.

Ha I've got more bassists on that list than guitarists, but they'll all work as they are all very different bassists, and yes there are two members that aren't super, but Luke is the best drummer I've heard ever and I want some of the fame.
dave grohl - lead vocals + rhythm guitar
dave mustaine - lead guitar
dave ellefson - bass
dave lombardo - drums

[QUOTE=absinthe;27634681]dave grohl - lead vocals + rhythm guitar
