If you could be in any band fantasy.

[Lw.]

Current bands; La Dispute - interesting music & super positive vibes at gigs
Previous bands; Jefferson Airplane - mostly because I have a bit of a thing for Late-60's Grace Slick but the music was cool too

[pbasspecial]

The Who or The Winery Dogs for me.

[SH73]

Playing an instrument or singing?

[pbasspecial]

It's all about the bass

[leroydiamond]

Porcupine Tree

[dyerseve]

I would start a new band with Danny Carey(drums), Mike Patton(vocals), Devin Townsend(guitar and vocals), Les Claypool(lead bass and general nuttiness), Mike Vennart(guitar and vocals) and Gambler(keys).
Not sure what I could add but it would be bloody awesome to behold such incredible talents in one room!!!!

[essexbasscat]

Oh boy..

The Who
The Spiders from Mars
10cc
The Beatles
The Beach Boys
Queen
The Motown house band

[gjones]

Led Zep or Atomic Kitten.

[Mudpup]

Foo Fighters - love the songs, nothing complex to worry about and you can kick back and enjoy the energy of the gigs

Rammstein - for the spectacle really

Yellowhouse - oh, hang on, i'm in that one already. Just a covers band with a great bunch of guys playing all my favourite songs. Living the dream.......

[Freddy Le Cragg]

Motorhead. Shove over, Lemmy

[Rich]

Frost*
Threshold (although that would cause some confusion, as their keys player has the same name as me!)
It Bites

[Marty Forrer]

The Hot Band, the version with either Albert Lee or Frank Reckard.
The Foghorn String Band
The Rhythm Kings

Thats a strange name .. oddly enough i saw a band back in the 80's or was it the 70's, called the 64 spoons , downstairs in The Corn Dolly, Oxford . He didnt know it back then but the gitwrist would later play with Level 42 .. bloke by the name of Jakko Jakszyk

That's them. They were from the Watford area and I saw them loads of times. It was about the nearest you'd get to seeing Zappa in a pub.
The rest of the guys were equally talented, Ted Emmett, Lyndon J Connah, Tam Neill. The bassist, Andy Crawford, was fantastic too, but no longer plays.
Jakko plays with King Crimson now, btw.

[tony_m]

Crazy Horse, with NY digging the road up front.

[Ashweb]

Sensational Alex Harvey Band or early Clash.

[Count Bassy]

Well, if it had to be just one then it would have to be Family, as they were/are my favourite band ever.

[fleabag]

Oh, yes ...even back then they were damn good. Jakko was the font man wasn't he ? I remember him being a bit of a comedian - great live band

Thanks for the info Moon.

Didnt know he was with KC now

[hatori]

Cream
Eric Gales band

[EBS_freak]

Flavour Flav - because wearing a timepiece on stage is where it's at

Great to see a shout out for Threshold! Have known Karl and Rich for more years than I care to remember. Top guys and a great band. Maybe if you did get the dep slot Steve would let you borrow that lovely myrtle topped Sei of his. Now there is a nice bass. Mind you, I reckon that your Wal would slot in just nicely on any of their tunes!

[Barking Spiders]

I'd been thinking about posting a similar thread only a coupla days ago. Pretty easy one this for me, Parliament-Funkadelic, Trouble Funk, Earth Wind and Fire or Chic or Shriekback. The first three cos their gigs are just big parties. Chic,because they embody sass and cool. I'd have happily stepped into Dave Allen's shoes to play on tracks like My Spine Is The Bassline.
