[The STE]

Sex Pistols, as the guitarist. They wouldn't even have to change the names in the lineup. I'd make sure to keep Glen Matlock in the band.

[Deposable]

My first answer comes to my mind would be

Nirvana
The velvet underground
Fugazi
The germs
Sonic Youth
Cake

I have wanted to be in so many bands. I hope soon, someone will want to be in my band.

[barbra]

the mothers
the beatles
gwar
belle and sebastian
polyphonic spree

lmao sorry, no problem!

[urgeok]

if i could have played in a band ...

shit ... different bands for different songs ..


'tangerine dream' - to get to score films ..

'ACDC' - to burn off some energy

'Aerosmith' - to get the dirty girls ...


'Count Basie's band' - to get to rub shoulders with greatness ..

[aborted]

theres a ton but the one that really stands out is Led Zepplin.

[knife_fight]

Barbra-

yeah, I think he did go to Murphy.... and you know good and damn well that Robert Johnson sold his soul to the debbil.

[ItsAlive75]

I would be in Dave Matthews Band so I could get those cute preppie college gals.

I'd play washboard or some shit, I can't play no keyboard or trombone or nuthin'.

Looks like we got ourselves a "Dave" fan.

I also hate when folks try and shorten that crap band's name to "Dave".

[Gnaghi]

Plus the spread head crowd is really the 'girl's gone wild' kinda scene any ways. Thats what you were after right?

[Haphazard]

The Chili Peppers.

That's it!


...and I would've overdosed on heroin 2 years into my stint. But it would've fucking rawked, dammit!!!

Great choices. I'd have to say Dead Boys aswell I would've fit right into that band I think. My band covers their song "Down In Flames". I was totally obssessed with this band for ages. Rocket From The Tombs is a great band as well (pre-Pere Ubu & Dead Boys - has members from both & a lot of these bands songs were originally written in this band) probably the most criminally underated band ever.

....or else I would've liked to have been in Aus-Rotten easily one of the best pank bands period.

[Hate_Breeder]

5.) The Murder Junkies
4.) Reel Big Fish
3.) Kotton Mouth Kings
2.) Nekromantix
1.) Misfits

[Elvis_Christ]

Everyone should stop talking about being in bands and just go do it..... its great fun making a hell of a lot of horrible noise & who knows maybe you could do something just as cool as one of your heroes.

[bwind22]

The Beatles
The Traveling Wilburys
Bad Religion
NOFX
Pennywise

[Elvis_Christ]

What Travelling Willbury would you be?

[Wells]

Kraftwerk
the Mothers of Invention
the Birthday Party
the Magic Band
the Misfits
Dead Kennedys
Death in June

I guess I'd probably be the unknown one. lol

Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, George Harrison, and Roy Orbison were already all very famous before they formed the group so I guess I'd probably end up being the 5th dude... You know? The one whos name no one knows.

[Amalthea]

I would play in:

Depeche Mode
Kraftwerk
Rusted Roots
Tangerine Dreams

I would like to meet:

Belle & Sebastian
Bonnie Raitt
Brayn Adams
Emir Kusturica
Jean Michel Jarre
Johnny Cash
Kris Kristofferson
Ledina Celo (Albania)
Patsy Cline
Roy Orbison
Tim McGraw
