Nah, you just have to get a Dylan-esque doo going. That's what them guys kinda have, don't they? Your blonde should be fine.

Cantankerous 03.16.2007 09:59 PM

they have kind of half dylan/half robert smith hair. well i don't know about nowadays but they did back in the 80s for sure. i wouldn't be cutting or teasing my hair. i think the fact that it only gets combed when i dye it and is otherwise extremely unkempt would be enough.

Everyneurotic 03.16.2007 10:02 PM

yngwie malmsteen on second guitar.

weasel totally ignored my screaming pleas to "bring the fucking luttenbachers" when i saw him slay with xbxrx while sitting on a chair with a bag because they didn't bring a proper drum stool.

Norma J 03.16.2007 10:03 PM

Yeah. They could get your hair. They might sell more records?

Cantankerous 03.16.2007 10:04 PM

i think they would have sold more records if i had been born 25 years earlier and had been in their videos.

Norma J 03.16.2007 10:05 PM

Playing bass in their videos!

Cantankerous 03.16.2007 10:07 PM

or just dancing around in a short dress.

Everyneurotic 03.16.2007 10:08 PM

chances are you would get blamed for the mary chain breaking up.

Cantankerous 03.16.2007 10:09 PM

chances are if i was dancing around in their videos i would end up becoming involved with one of them and being a yoko. so yeah.

Everyneurotic 03.16.2007 10:10 PM

so william or jim?

william, are you crazy? neither of them were particularly good looking but william always wore sunglasses and he was the guitar player and he walked offstage, effectively ending the band. all of which i dig.

Torn Curtain 03.17.2007 10:25 AM

Laura Veirs, My Brightest Diamond, The Notwist, Radiohead

LittlePuppetBoy 03.17.2007 02:38 PM

I dunno...

bassist for the Butthole Surfers in their prime?

Spiritual Amnesia 03.17.2007 02:45 PM

Einstürzende Neubauten !!!

Danny Himself 03.17.2007 02:51 PM

Pavement

Norma J 03.17.2007 04:58 PM

I could see you in Pavement, Danny.

demonrail666 03.17.2007 06:04 PM

Easy for me this one, Pussy Galore. So I could be on ... let me think now...5th guitar!

:D


i was being sarcastic, dude has such a big ego, he never lets any other guitarist in his band.

a friend of mine bought a malmsteen book that came with a cd with exercises, we put track one: "hi, velcome to yngwie malmsteen's guitar method, now let's hear exercise number vone: 'PRIRPRIURRIRORIRIRRPRIRORRIRIR", ok, now let's here it at half speed and play along" and the track played at the same speed as before; then track two "ok, exercise number two: 'PRIRPRIURRIRORIRIRRPRIRORRIRIR" -the exact same lick, i could hear no difference, then we skipped a couple of tracks-"exercise numbah 27, play along: 'PRIRPRIURRIRORIRIRRPRIRORRIRIR"

my friend was so pissed off.

Mark Ibold? I look like Mark Ibold?

HECKLER SPRAY 03.17.2007 08:30 PM

Mark Ibold; he was on this forum a long time ago...

krastian 03.18.2007 12:18 AM

Hmmmm, all time I'd have to say Bad Brains because Earl's drumming has been such a huge influence on me......plus it would rule.

It also would be epic as hell to play with Khanate, Sunn O))), or Asva......fuck.

kingcoffee 03.18.2007 12:52 AM

Probably either Dinosaur Jr, Sonic Youth or Flaming Lips. I would make the FLips go back to their early-mid 90's guitar noise-pop state or at least push them to try something other than the synth pop shit they've been up to for way too long. Yoshimi was cool, and Soft Bulletin had some good stuff, but AWWTM really killed it. They need to try something nerw and stop catering to their braindead, hop-on-the-bandwagon fans who dont like the bands earlier work. Those people can go fuck themselves.

luxinterior 03.18.2007 01:53 AM

The Pogues I would think.

Toilet & Bowels 03.18.2007 07:41 AM

my friend's uncle knows shane mcgowan, what do you think of that?

truncated 03.18.2007 07:42 AM

I'd say he needs a better social life.

Toilet & Bowels 03.18.2007 07:45 AM

i would imagine shane mcgowan would be an interesting character to know, i mean, i could imagine a trip to the pub with shane mcgowan would be an experience and a half.

Savage Clone 03.18.2007 09:00 AM

A trip to the dentist with him would last about eight weeks.

Silent Dan Speaks 03.18.2007 11:29 AM

It's so hard to choose just one. Sonic Youth, Flaming Lips and Radiohead are all up there.

hahaha, yeah sure, you are going to tell the flaming lips "ok, i know i'm the new guy but from now on, we're only playing transmissions from the satellite heart live and we'll record an album just like that." if wayne coyne asked you to play along to a britney spears album and learn it, you would do it more than happy. wayne coyne can ask you to stick a guitar up your asshole and you wouldn't even hesitate to do so.

I know a chap in London (Archway) who's been into McGowan's local a few times. He's just like most semi-rich drunks in London, apparently.

I actually wouldn't want to join any bands except my own - does that make me a prick? Do I also win?

ScreamingSchool 03.18.2007 07:33 PM

The Fall. And looking at their lineup changes, I'll probably get a shot at it! Also Stardust era Bowie. That would be fun.

HaydenAsche 03.18.2007 07:48 PM

Arab on Radar
Kk Rampage
Harry Pussy
Any other bands that are filthy.

Toilet & Bowels 03.18.2007 08:07 PM

it might be fun to play in hijokaidan

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 03.18.2007 08:13 PM

i think playing with old time relijun would be fun.
or something like that.

I think this is what it comes down to. I don't really care about the onstage thing, though that would probably be a great time as well.

I mean I wouldn't want to play with Sonic Youth or anything like that, or hang out with them. Seems a bit boring. The audience, especially.

sonicl 03.19.2007 02:19 AM

Ouch!

Tanzende Schauspieler 03.19.2007 04:12 AM

I would play in BOREDOMS if I had the chance !!!

or OOIOO !!!

something like this:



 


in fact, I realize I really wanna be a japanese female musician. the race and gender condition has been fulfilled, now it's time to pick up that damn guitar and keep it going :)

nicfit 03.19.2007 04:44 AM

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
be one of the Ex-girl!

Cardinal Rob 03.19.2007 01:02 PM

I'm willing to sacrifice myself for Kayo Dot.
