Poke Me In The Eye

What 5 bands would you want to have been a member of? They can be current or older bands. You have to name the band and what instrument (your voice is an instrument) you’d like to play. You don’t necessarily have to replace a member but you can if you choose.

Number One: Led Zeppelin

This was the first one to come to my mind. However I couldn’t replace ANYONE in that band. OK…maybe John Paul Jones. Seriously though they were such an amazing band that I’d be happy to be there period…so being able to be a back up guitarist on stage would be a dream come true.

Number Two: Lead Guitarist for ANY 80’s Hair Band

I’m talking about Poison, Bon Jovi, Warrant…it doesn’t really matter does it? But being Lead Guitar would be epic. I’ve always dreamed of pulling off that ripping solo on stage in front of a million fans. And from what I understand a lot of women wanted to have sex with these guys. That sounds nice.

Number Three: Mick Jagger

This is assuming that A) I can sing like him (because The Rolling Stones wouldn’t be the same with a different voice) B) I can strut like him (because the experience wouldn’t be the same without it) and C) I am better looking than he is (well…because I am). But talk about a wild ride that just won’t end. It’s a band that every other band in the known universe wants to be.

Number Four: Anyone in Alizee’s band

Why you ask? Because it would give me an excellent opportunity to have wild monkey sex with her. ‘Nuff said.

Number Five: Sting

Oh to be Sting…could you imagine it? Not only would you be able to sing like no one else on Earth you’d get to have sex with some of the hottest women on this planet. You’d be extremely well respected by the music industry. You’d have a very lucrative career. You would be…simply put…a rock and roll GOD. Plus the British accent is bitching.

I’d have to be member of Kiss. Ideally, Gene Simmons but I don’t know if he could be replaced so maybe another guitarist. Playing in front of million rabid fans in crazy makeup and even crazier costumes. Spitting fire and blood, explosions on stage, shooting fire out of my guitar. Not to mention the hordes of women. Gene Simmons claims to have slept with over 10,000 women. I can’t think of a better band to become a rock god in.

Next up, a member of the Grateful Dead. They had two drummers so I wouldn’t mind being one of them. The Dead had a good life. Constant touring with quite possibly the most rabid fan base ever. They were highly respected in the music community. They made about bajizillion dollars. Staying away from the drugs would probably be a challenge though.

For my third pick, I would absolutely love to have been a member of the Beatles. I can’t really imagine replacing any of them except possibly Ringo. But I would settle for playing the triangle in the background to be a part of the Beatles. I can’t even begin to imagine what Beatlemania would have been like, it must have just been absolutely nuts. The Beatles are arguably the biggest band of all time and it would be an absolute honor to be a part of it. Also, if I was a member I would have tried to have stopped the sale of the music to whacko jacko.

Coming in fourth on my list (which is in no particular order) I would have loved to have been a member of one of Frank Zappa’s bands. He had many musicians throughout time that played with him so I am sure I could squeeze in there somewhere. I would like to be a drummer as he always had amazing drummers and that would mean that I would have to be an amazing drummer as well. Zappa was a musical genius, extremely funny and I bet going out on tour with him would be an absolute blast.

For my last choice I would like to be the fourth Beastie Boy. To go through their career would be pretty epic. Starting from their wild and crazy punk days and their crazy antics in the License to Ill period. Then to turn around and make one of the greatest Rap albums ever, Paul’s Boutique. It would just be so much fun jamming with them on stage, trading rhymes and what not.
