LayDownThaFunk Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 I think I would rather play in my own band than the Stones. Rage - easy. Quote
RhysP Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 [quote name='scalpy' timestamp='1436774144' post='2820516'] Great band, and probably very nice to stand behind! [/quote] The view did influence my choice..... I've seen them live a couple of times & they are bloody good, and I love their songs. Quote
spongebob Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Last 15 years? Tough one! I think I'd go for Warpaint, or The Donnas (for an easier time, but great songs on the first 4 albums). Quote
gafbass02 Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Placebo, just cause. Guitar or bass would be fine. Quote
Billy Apple Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 I'd go for Girls Aloud and The Bangles, but knowing my luck would probably end up in L7 Quote
Annoying Twit Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Good question and some good answers so far. Wanting to choose something original ... Blur? Quote
Bassassin Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Toss-up between Tool & Opeth. Neither really fit my playing style, but phenomenal music & stupendously good drummers. Metallica for the $$$$ is tempting but I'd end up slapping Lars twice. Once for being a rubbish drummer & once for being Lars... Jon. Quote
BigRedX Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Have half the bands being mentioned done anything even vaguely interesting in the last 15 years? Or are you all just after an easy life churning out popular songs to an adoring but ageing audience? There's plenty of new bands from the last 15 years that I like but few with bassists. So, for me it would have to be the Birthday Massacre, or failing that I'm perfectly happy with the musical choices I've already made. Quote

ezbass Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 John Mayer's full band. Playing Pino and DeLa's lines would be great. Quote
Mykesbass Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Old Crow Medicine Show - would give me the excuse (and possibly enough money) to justify long term double bass gas! Quote

bassbiscuits Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 If there was a current band of nearly contemporaries that I'd choose, you know, so we might actually get on as a band, then I'd choose something like Rival Sons or The Virginmarys. Both excellent, kick ass bands doing great music, and working their way up the ladder. I reckon playing a proper band member role in a band like that would be really fulfilling. Then again, being Darryl Jones is better paid ha ha! Quote
Graham Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 [quote name='Graham' timestamp='1436766603' post='2820471'] Down [/quote] [I]or[/i] Fen, Akercocke or Emperor's touring band Quote
timmo Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) I really like the 70`s funk sound, so i would go for Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings. Maybe not the most taxing bass lines, or the best name. Or maybe Kasabian. Maybe scrub those two, and go for The Levellers .It is a very hard choice really, as the more i think about it, the. more it would change. Edited July 13, 2015 by timmo Quote
