High Waters Band. A Band I formed with a guy I grew up with and haven't been able to play with them cuz of an illness. If I could lose this illness and rejoin, I would.

Ha ha. My step mom was the first Reeferette. She said she retired from that band because she would have died if she had kept living that life.
Having Paul McCartney's gig with the Beatles would have been pretty great. You'd have the benefit of being the most loved and wealthiest musician of all time to boot.
I don’t doubt that you have a better handle on the band’s history, all I’m certain of is that at some point, alcohol became far more important than the band.

Rammstein. They're not my FAVORITE band, but I really like the songs, I can play them, I'd make a lot of money, they're really nice guys, and their live show is insane.
UFO with Schenker in the line up.
I would have said Thin Lizzy, but no one can replace Phil.

Muscle Shoals Swampers house band. Dave Hood had the best gig ever. Play with the baddest cats around, sleep in your own bed every night.
Funny, I was watching the trailer for Dave Grohl's new documentary "What Drive's Us" yesterday and I thought to myself that the Foo's bass player, Nate Mendel, has a pretty sweet gig. The guys in the band seem like they genuinely like each other and still have fun and the bass parts are straightforward and, while the parts aren't musically complex, they're probably fun to play in stadiums and festivals.
So I'd say Foo Fighters. Sure it's "Dad Rock" played by middle aged dudes, but I'm a middle aged dad so I'd fit right in.

I'm no deadhead but if I were good enough I'd take Phil Lesh's chair so I could rock short shorts and tube sox with impunity. Also, plenty of work.
Oh yes...I would love to play in Foo Fighters....if I was young, well, fit and full of energy
The SENSATIONAL ALEX HARVEY BAND!!!!
Hands down.
Sorry Chris...I love ya...but I woulda replaced ya in a heartbeat .

Yeah, true. Happened to Brett too (with with heroic, coke, pills, maybe doors and 4s, man). And Hetson. Only Jay still plays with BR (though Brett, of course, writes a lot of material). And they're all clean now.

Don't laugh but I would say The Beach Boys.
They have been around for 60 yrs, still playing and people still enjoy coming out to see them.
Fun music

Yeah, it might be taking things too literally, but I kind of can't get past this either. That said, I did try out to replace Dee Dee Ramone ... and case in point the guy they got couldn't replace Dee Dee Ramone.

The Doors ... heck, I'll even hide behind my amp if I have to.
