What band would you play bass in?

[steelman]

The 'old' Eagles!

[Shaggy]

Mon - Fri nites: with Elvis at Vegas
Sat nite: with Girls Aloud (I've got all the outfits...... )
Sun: off

Tour with Zeppelin round the festivals every summer

[Finbar]

Glassjaw.

[Jean-Luc Pickguard]

The Hawks backing Dylan on the '66 tour
"Play ... f**kin'... loud!"

[velvetkevorkian]

Opeth.

[Marvin]

Past - Free or Blind Melon
Present - Muse or Radiohead

[Cat Burrito]

Taking over from Jean Luc Pickguard, I was going to say The Band! Them or the Flying Burrito Brothers.

[bobbytodd]

for me megadeth or girls alouds backing band just so i could stand at the back and watch them wiggle their bootys all night

[bartelby]

Depending on my mood:

Opeth, Clutch, Red Sparowes, SunnO))), TOOL, Fugazi, Einstürzende Neubauten or Iron Maiden...

I doubt megadeth's backing band like staring at Dave Mustaine wiggling his booty

[lowdown]

The Funk Brothers.
Toto.
Or the Band that played and Recorded on 'LA is my lady' Frank Sinatra.

[WHUFC BASS]

The Cockney Rejects and all that went with it.

but still really into playing with the bands I'm in now...

[steve-soar]

[quote name='Clarky' post='607610' date='Sep 24 2009, 12:42 PM']Current band (as Ramones no more):

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds[/quote]
Get in line Clarky.
Funkadelic, The Beatles, Stump.

[beerdragon]

The Big Three

[Chris2112]

Either Weather Report, RUSH or the band that Paul Simon used to record Graceland.

[TRadford]

I think mine would have to be No Doubt from the first album to Tragic Kingdom, so the 1990-1997 era. I just cant get enough of Tony Kanal's funky basslines and I'd love to be in a band playing stuff like that.

[purpleblob]

Led Zeppelin

[DarkHorse]

The Sisters of Mercy

[GreeneKing]

[quote name='DarkHorse' post='608043' date='Sep 24 2009, 07:15 PM']The Sisters of Mercy[/quote]

Good choice imo

It could be a good choice, depending on which incarnation.

[DarkHorse]

It'd be fun, eh? Cool songs to play, surrounded by smoke onstage...no one being able to hear you above Doktor Avalanche....

[bartelby]

Ooh, Pre "Zoon" era Fields Of The Nephilim would be good!

[Tait]

[quote name='Low End Bee' post='607605' date='Sep 24 2009, 12:40 PM']Scratch my previous one.

U2. It wouldn't take long to learn. Loads of cash. I could also take Bono out with a well judged swing of the headstock and pretend it was an accident.[/quote]

i like you

mine would be something like new found glory or blink 182, where you have a laugh on stage, can be as immature as you like, and you dont have to worry about hitting the right notes cos the bassline is so simple! and i love that sort of music.

[Dr.Dave]

Slade.

Loud as f**k , fantastic melodies , power drummer , power singer , silly clothes - what more does a bloke want?!

[casapete]

Southside Johnny&the Asbury Jukes

Best bar band in the world, no 2 gigs&sets ever the same, occasional jams with Springsteen/E-Street band members/ Bon Jovi etc/
amazing brass section, great songs in their massive repertoire (both original&covers),wonderful guitar player Bobby Bandiera, ace frontman!
And I know most of their stuff too! Catch this great band on tour in the UK this November.
