if you could be in a band...
 

which band would it be/have been ?

Re: if you could be in a band...
 

Hm.....

Slayer,Slipknot and tool.

too hard. here's a top five, in no order. so really, just 5 bands I wish I could have been in:

1. the Sonics
2. the Ramones
3. Dead Boys
4. the Stooges
5. the MC5

Hmm...hard to choose just one :(

Depeche Mode
The Cure
ColdPlay
Mandalay
Fleetwood Mac
Radiohead
NIN
The Killers

That's all I can think of for now :D

is this like, going back in time, or just having been born then and getting in that particular band?

Think of it as a time machine. :)

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.

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.

the mothers
the beatles
gwar
belle and sebastian
polyphonic spree

those would be fun, now ask me who I would want to meet and you would get a different answer

who would you like to meet?

and one of my friends is in the Polyphonic Spree, you may know him too. Brian Teasley

Jesus fucking christ, who isn't in the Polyphonic Spree. How does that band even make any money... Yeah, I know "Its not about the money".

Good picks knife rider and disposable. Heres a random list of mine.

The Doors
The Rolling Stones
Nirvana
Jefferson Airplane
Velvet Underground
Creedence Clearwater Revival
The Smiths
The Stooges

Joy Division (I've actually had a dream about being Ian Curtis)
New Order
The Smiths
Jesus and Mary Chain
The Dead Milkmen

I would hereby prefer to be called "Knife Rider", thanks surfnazi!

wow, you're the coolest. I want to touch you..
j/j. thats still pretty cool

lmao sorry, no problem!

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 ..

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

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.

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'.

dave mathews use to be a band of very talented musicians, I think you want the opening act for wide spread.

Looks like we got ourselves a "Dave" fan.

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

Bloodhound gang

I don't know if fan is the word *I* would use, but I have been exposed to it and Ive seen him live. I can appreciate it. Plus the spread head crowd is really the 'girl's gone wild' kinda scene any ways. Thats what you were after right?

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.

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

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.

The Beatles
The Traveling Wilburys
Bad Religion
NOFX
Pennywise

What Travelling Willbury would you be?

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.

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
