Actually Les Claypool could have freaked out with the craziest slap chops in Metalica and it wouldn't have made a difference since you wouldn't be able to hear him in the mix anyway.
What if Syd Barrett had started a band with the guys from Soft Machine instead of Pink Floyd?
Actually we do have an idea of what it might have sounded like, since Soft Machine played backing track on two of Syd Barrett's songs on his first solo album The Madcap Laughs, Syd taking care of the vocals and guitar:

Andy they had a kid and named her heidi heidi ho. i think i heard Cab Calloway turning in his grave just now.
Frank Zappa was getting into making mainstream records. Rumor was he owed somebody a lot of money.
They promote profits. Talent and glitz are just means to an end.
What if Jaco hadn't descended into mental illness?
What if Jim Marshall had died of tuberculosis instead of starting a music shop and getting a request from Pete Townsend for a loud amplifier.
What if National and Dobro hadn't sued each other. leading some of their designers to leave and form the Ro-Pat-In Corporation (Rickenbacker)
What if Geddy Lee's father hadn't died when he was young? This forced his mother to find outside work to support three children. Lee feels that not having parents at home during those years was probably a factor in his becoming a musician: "It was a terrible blow that I lost him, but the course of my life changed because my mother couldn't control us." He said that losing his father at such an early age made him aware of how "quickly life can disappear", which inspired him from then on to get the most out of his life and music.

What if Nuta Kotlyarenko hadn't fled czarist Russia for the USA. In the midst of the Great Depression he opened his first store, "Nudie's for the Ladies", specializing in custom-made undergarment for showgirls. From there, he branched out into custom made garish outfits for Elvis, Porter Waggoner, Hank Williams, Roy Rogers, John Lennon, Gram Parsons....
He also was the original designer for the big Bonnevilles with steer horns.

What if Chad Allen would have stayed with The Guess Who and Burton Cummings would not have joined the band?
