[Music] If you could have been in a band, any hand ..... Which band would you have been in?

[hart's shirt]

Seagulls Ska

Memorable footage there including NSC's own late great Lord Bracknell.

When we lose by the odd goal to one of the best sides in the country, it's always good to remind ourselves where we've come from.

 

[jakarta]

Hawkwind in their Glory Years between 1971 and 1973.

I don't suppose I would still be alive of course but to have played on Space Ritual...

 

[jevs]

Rush. Move over Neil Pert, Jev's is getting his drumsticks out

 

[dejavuatbtn]

The Kinks in the vain hope that I could have kept the brothers apart and the band together a bit longer.
Ray Davies is a songwriting genius.

 

[matt]

The Jam.

 

[zefarelly]

Definitely, I'm no jazzer! although I do play double bass as well, not particularly well however!

Cream as Jack Bruce might be a step too far then?

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Depending on precise timings:
Mid 1960s - Cream
Early 1970s - The Allman Brothers' Band (with Duane Allman still alive.)
1970s - Little Feat.

I would never have been anywhere near good enough at anything to achieve that, though.

 

[zefarelly]

That's a tough call either way . . . Both superb bands at different times, Ronnie Laine is a personal fave. I think I'd rather be in the Faces in the John Peel role just for the sheer fun of it all.

The Small Faces rather than the Faces for me

 

[getz]

It was always a pipedream of mine to kick Sonny Payne off the bandstand so l could take over drumming chair in the Count Basie Orchestra.

 

[getreal1]

Led Zep.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

The Osmonds.

(one for our younger readers)

 

[GT49er]

Blondie. I would have LOVED to have Debbie Harry.

Slightly amended to meet the requirements of some of the rest of us!

 

[METALMICKY]

I have long since argued that Messrs Smith, Murray & Gers needed me to have a 4 guitarist lineup for Iron Maiden!

 

[Guinness Boy]

Bez. I'd've been Bez.

Has anyone ever had a better time with less talent?

 

[Lower West Stander]

Guns’n Roses.

Always wanted to be Slash and stand on a rock on the middle of the desert banging out a massive guitar solo.

As a bass player I wouldn't want to be in the blockheads, the who, the stranglers or the Beatles. Their bass players are quite good enough.

I think I'd be more than a match for Bill Wynman in the Stones though.

Otherwise HP Lovercraft, or Moby Grape, or Caravan or Pink Floyd circa 1968.

As a fellow bass player thought you might be interested in this guy playing Hit me with your Rhythm Stick using only one finger on his right hand!
The James Jamerson hook

Iron Maiden for me - love playing live and having fun

 

[zefarelly]

That doesn't do much for me. Just lacks feel. It's been learned from the grade 8 trinity school book!

JJ is obviously another top drawer bass player.

Just shows you what i know then about bass playing!

 

[zefarelly]

Well I can't play it any better than that either. But I've only been playing 30 odd years.
