Re: Best Band? Russ vs Metallex
Metallex easily. Pretty much a straight up metal band and like with my band, you can actually picture the group recording and having a sense of what it would sound like.
Russ is like Buzz in the aspect its mega star cherry picking and while he deserves karma for picking McVie, Elvis working with the likes of Gilmour, Rhodes, and Prince?? Pass that crack pipe my way. 
His top pick(Elvis) is the weak link in the band. Like Axl, other than the distinctive voice.....he brings nothing. No offense Axl. I know you can write lyrics but used you to emphasis my point.
Edit: Technically we're all cherry picking obviously. To take a line from Cornell, some of these bands are "tightrope walking in two ton shoes".
His band looks good on paper but like Buzz, I just cant imagine it actually doing anything. Fire Elvis, then we'll start talking. Gilmour and Rhodes both awesome, but the chemistry factor just doesn't seem to be there. These bands should live and die by the guitarists potential to work together, and Russ doesn't cut the mustard.
Re: Best Band? Russ vs Metallex
Elvis was the definition of a front man. He wrote the book on it long before others had any clue what they were doing.
He would get along with, and get the best of out people like Gilmour, Rhodes, McVie, Prince and Hawkins. He always worked with the absolute top names of the time in each of their slots and he could work with anyone in my band very easily.
I know you're an Elvis fanatic and I'm no expert on the guy, but from what I know he had little to no songwriting ability. I agree he literally changed the world, but when entering a supergroup of that magnitude, you need more than just a distinctive voice and the stage presence. Your guitarists are amazing separately but I cant imagine the two together.
I'd love to have seen McVie work with Gilmour, no offense to Waters of course. McVie one of my all time favorite bassists.

Re: Best Band? Russ vs Metallex
That's the vibe I was getting at when I looked at how your band would sound and interact on stage and in studio which are different situations.
