Bands you'd like to join
 

I know it 's been done a million times, but it doesn't matter.
If it was possible, which band would you like to join ? And Which member would you replace ? In your dreams ? In your fantasies ?

I've heard polvo's former drummer doesn't want to play with us anymore. If they're ok, I'm unoccupied.

If Pavement wants to reform, I could replace Mr Nastanovich if he doesn't want to go on tour. I could be pretty good at screaming " I"m trying !!!" or other stuffs like that. Sure.

I would llove to play bass in dinosaur jr. Oh MY SHIT

I would like the play baritone guitar full time in Blonde Redhead.
or skronk guitar like Jim O in SY.

I also do a mean Ian Curtis vocal impression.

You mean, like a BILJ? (Band I'd Like to Join)

Um, duh... The Stones circa 1970.

I'm seriously considering sending in an audition tape to the Polyphonic Spree.

Band I'd most fit in would probably be Polvo, as my guitar playing sharply reflects what those guys do.

But I'd say Sun City girls..

I'd prob. say AIDS Wolf. Just 'cause. I think I'd enjoy jamming it out with my bass or guit box.

Maybe convince them to do an unplugged album.

nirvana as guitar player/lead singer. i heard they needed a new one since 1994.

I wanted to join Karp as a moog player, and they were my friends, and I'd seen them play once with a guy doing just that who I knew I could burn circles around. But I never got up the nerve to suggest it, and then they broke up. So Chris played in my band for awhile, but obviously not the same thing.

In pure dreams, I'd replace Roger Daltrey in the Who, hand the vocals over to Pete (who wrote all the damn lyrics anyway!0 and play second guitar, mostly making noise, and maybe moog too, and just push the three of them to be as balls out punk as Daltrey always stopped them from becoming.

Comets on Fire. A lot of bands I like such as SY are perfect the way they are already. I think Comets would be an amazing/fun band to play with though that wouldn't be totally ruined though with another member.

Flight of the Conchords

Melt Banana

Hey, Danny, you could BE a good Mark Ibold, you really looks like him.
and I'm pretty sure sometimes you "are" this guy...
Can you play bass, Danny ? Please.

hmmmmm, i think i would love to join something like xrin arms and add some guitars and keys into an already demented soul/punk/grindcore spazzed out fucked up sound.

id love to join oxbow as i think they are everything i love in a band, agressive, experimental, psychedelic, sexual, diy.

the mae shi.

the coughs reformed.

usaisamonster

sissy spacek

wu tang clan

I'd like to be in hum.

deerhoof

I would be Chan Marshall, but i wouldn't sell out, and i wouldn't be an alcoholic, or a name-dropper.

I would also like to be/have been in The Mars Volta/At The Drive-In/De Facto. But i really don't think i could handle it. I guess i would have taken Paul Hinojos place as the bassist.

when i read that i thought you typed h.i.m.

i was like oh god why?

We'd all like to be in Hum. Their guitarist was a madman sometimes. Hum is so goooooodddd.......

The U-men
Swans

Incubus. I know that's probably not 'indie' enough for you lot, but they don't have a particular sound or scene and they do whatever they want musically. And they seem to live happy lives too in grand old California.

Other than them fine chaps, The Bronx?

Hahah, S.C.I.E.N.C.E rules.

I can't really listen to that album anymore. It has too much of the sound that was around at the time. I like their last two albums.

i would like to join slayer and for fun go out naked with a pink triangle painted on my chest. you know just to piss off their fans and them.

S.C.I.E.N.C.E just holds good memories. I really dig "vitamin". Great song.

i would like to join *cough monosodic *cough

U2... i could replace Edge.... im in it for the money. and so i could get close enough to bono to drop ex-lax in his drink before any big concerts

I'd join U2 and replace Bono and I'd be all into human rights and shit

I'd join the ORIGINAL flight of the conchords.

who wants to join my band?!

Let's just start a homosexual-themed Slayer cover band. We'll call ourselves 'Gayer.'

I have played bass in the past and will again someday, but I have a feeling Malkmus wouldn't want me in the band, considering my superior Scrabble skills. :(

I'd like to drum in a jazz band or play guitar for Tom Waits.

Oh, Gayer has to have a song called "AIDS full of death".

It'll make Anal Cunt proud.

can I play electric toy piano in GAYER with you guys?

I would love to play bass for Flipper for just one show.

Perhaps more within reason....I'd love to make up seeming stupid ideas for songs with Adam of the Hospitals, just so I could see how it is that me makes such crazy ideas into fantastic records. Seriously....He got the idea for "Rich People" while watching college basketball on ESPN when the pep band was playing "Go! Fight! Win!" He told his guitarist at the time, "Hey, can you play that on guitar?" His guitarist was like, "NO! THAT IS TOO DUMB! I'M NOT GONNA DO IT!" A few months later, it came out on a record, and to this date, it is the greatest noise-damaged psychpunk pump-up jam of all time.

As for the brand new album, I'm sure there's even more improbable stories about the genesis for songs.

I also would love to pinch hit on drums for either Tyvek or Little Claw. Heath is a guitarist that I think I could get into a groove with. Plus, it's easy enough drumming to be within my skill level.

Whitehouse

or

Main

THE BAND

I'd like to be in The Raincoats

xiu xiu would be nice. jamie stewart will probably go down as our generation's morrisey (or, dont beliebe the hype) so 15 years from now youd be like, yeah i played guitar for jamie stewart, and itd be like some dude today saying, yeah i played guitar for morrisey. not to mention xiu xiu is fucking amazing.

Heheh. I wish Xiu Xiu only had 2 members. They were better then.
