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
