witterth Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Late 70s turn "The Darts" for me, Thump Thompson DA MAN!! Classic doo/wop, pop music, that would involve a punch in the face. as long as it was done in the holiday inn afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonshelley01 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Quite a tough one. No brainers like Sabbath, Purple and Priest are obviously up there, but maybe something more like Queensryche or Marillion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2112 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I'd have loved to take the bass chair in Weather Report after Jaco left. Bug shoes to fill though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benh Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 The Smiths probably, although I'm not overly keen on Morrisey it's fun stuff to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 [quote name='chris_b' post='981891' date='Oct 8 2010, 06:53 PM']The Stax studio house band. Also a lot of great gigs flowed and are still flowing from being the bass player in that band.[/quote] Nuf respect!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Uriah Heap gig went on page 2, but apart from the obvious metal gods, Quo, 10CC or Greenslade would all have done nicely, even if only for a few days before they realised I'm crap Karl.

lojo Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I could reply to this everyday with a different name (dont worry i wont) Someone already said Stax, Yep, Booker T & the MGs, some of the best lines and you get to be in the Blues brothers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriswilliams666 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Think I'm only the 2nd person to say Guns N' Roses. I would be happy being a part of Appetite for Destruction, and a world tour. I don't think i could put up with Axl for any longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
