If you could be in a kick arse band of any type, what type would you most like it to be?

When I make up songs/riffs in my head, they're usually like The Haunted or Opeth. So...I'd probably like to be in a heavy thrash band. Rocking live like Slayer, The Haunted and Megadeth all have here in the last few years would be a good way to spend my life.

Now here's hoping this is a thread worthy of Trent's response. :)
 
Good choices, fellas. :) Singing in a band like the Black Crowes would be awesome, I reckon. What would you want to play, Spawnosovic?
 
I keep changing my mind.

I think my main band would be a rock band like The Hellacopters or The Donnas, and I'd have a side project that did lounge/jazz/blues stuff like early-mid Tom Waits.
 
Lead singer in a heavy-as-fuck glam band.
Think Shout At The Devil era Motley Crue crossed with Slayer.
 
Slayer covers! :headbang:

Or, if not covers, a combination of Slayer, recent Dimmu Borgir and Morbid Angel. That would be the greatest band ever.
 
I dunno... I think I'd want to be in a cool modern sounding rock band like Hoobastank... but then again, I don't really write like that - so maybe something like Planet X but with a singer?

I dunno. I'd settle for just "a band where everyone shows up for rehearsal"
 
You guys may as well all give up, my band playing an amalgam of Dimmu Borgir, Morbid Angel and Slayer will be the best band ever and we will just talk shit about you all being sellouts anyway :)

Except Winmar, he seems to have his head on straight.
 
I'd like to be in a 70s style album-oriented prog band known for its socially aware protest songs.

It wouldn't be a "band" in the strictest sense of the word, because I'd write/play/arrange/produce everything myself and then hire a session singer.

I would do stuff much along the same lines as Winny, but with a big percussion element and Also more New York hardcore in it as well...so a world music styled thrash/speed/motherfuckin' tear your head off shit down your fuckin neck/heavy as all fuck sorta band, that may describe it, failing that 3 or 4 musicians who can gel well and be truely mind blowing like Anything FNM or Tool or Dream Theater
 
We will have to go on tour together Southy. Winmar as well. Not that wanky Dream Theater/FNM band though, the kickass one :)
