If you could pick any band in any era and been a member during their prime, who would it be? Don't pick a band just because they made a ton of money. Pick one you really loved their music and would have loved to perform with every night.
OT: Band you would have loved to have been a member of
- Thread starter Hugh's Burner Phone
- Start date
Rush.
Great musicians, not a ton of ego and drama.

My user name is a dead giveaway
Anybody but the Eagles.
My mother worked as the girls P.E Coach at Robert E. Lee HS in Jacksonville, FL. The boys P.E. coach there was Leonard Skinner. One of the kids there was named Ronnie. He kept asking everybody to go see his brothers Johnnie's band.
I just moved to Pensacola because I was tired of not living that coastal life. I was born to be here.
Elvis would have probably been fun.
I like the Eagles but I would probably be like Don Felder and want to punch Glen Frey in the face.
There are a lot of bands that I would like to have just been a fly on the wall, but if I could only pick one that would be hard to do. Today's pick
I heard a guy that ran an arena speak one time. After his presentation he took questions. Someone asked who was the most difficult band /artist he had ever had to deal with. He didn't even hesitant when he said the Eagles. He said they were a nightmare. They all had to have a separate room backstage. The rooms had to be exactly the same size and be stocked and furnished exactly alike. If any of them got the idea of there was so much as one extra orange in one member's coffee table fruit basket it would start a big row. Those kinds of rumors about them have always been around, but to hear it from a guy in the business was pretty wild. It's amazing they could make the music they did with all that going on.
Aside from the obvious, probably the Stones or Motley Crue. I'd die in a month but it'd be a fun month.
Only 1 answer here! The triumphant trio, RUSH! 3 badasses who did it their way!!!
They could be like Van Halen and have it written in their contract that there be no brown M&Ms in the candy bowls backstage.
It sounds silly but it was actually a way for them to see if the venue followed all their safety guidelines for setting up the amps and equipment correctly.
this response belongs in the "tell me you're old without telling me you're old" thread.
Close call between
Allman bros
Acdc
Any band w Blues Bros band members
Buddy guy house band
Don Felder tribute band of Eagles tunes
I'd like to say steely dan but that's way beyond my musical iq, and Kiss doesn't allow free form jams. Pink floyd is another good answer, just not for me.
And I love the Eagles because of Don Felder but agree that he should have kicked glen freys ***...

Not really, I'm old, but not THAT old. I grew up noticing music in the 70s. That's well after Miller. He died years before I was born. I came to like Big Band listening to MPR, as it was known then, in college in the 80s. MPR was mostly music in those days. Think about what you would have seen as a member of that band. The age of elegant night clubs where people dressed to the nines. The joyous aftermath of prohibition. The beginnings of people like Frank Sinatra. America during WWII. American bases all over during WWII. LONDON during WWII. What an experience it would have been.
Really only because I have been listening to them a lot lately, King's X (from Earcandy album era)
