Would you join your favourite band if it meant shredding their legacy?

You have the chance to join your favourite band. Unfortunately the new material sucks, the band members hate each other. You know it'll be a car crash which will only ever be talked about in disparaging terms. Do you go for it or do you step aside?

Hey Thurston, really sorry about the Kim G thing. Real Bummer. What time's band practice?

grandavis, Thursday, 29 March 2012 19:26 (thirteen years ago)

Maybe as the bassist or something. As the lead vocalist I'd get all the blame.

i'd totally do it

I probably would, with the vague idea that I could actually try to mitigate the badness, or at least try to tone it down?

Or, as I call it, the Lib Dem excuse.

I don't play any instruments but I would join any band if the pay were good, even my favorite band...I can dance on stage I guess

Yeah, I'd do it. Then I'd prevent them from recording any shit material.

Given the rate at which they're going through singers, it's only a matter of time.

Yeah, this. If I was in my favourite band I wouldn't let them be shit. Though of course, the public would probably disagree, until 20 years later when my era is critically reappraised and hailed as a work of innovative genius that was way ahead of its time.

The RZA, the GZA, the Ghostface Killah! U-God, Inspektah Deck, Raekwon the Chef, the ODB, the Masta Killa, the Method Man, and R0dney!

Nice ring to it.

haha oh man i saw that shitshow version of the misfits open for gwar, what a little neo-con twit that fucker is

what about the opposite -- would you decline to join your fav band if by doing so, you saved them from legacy shredding? no one in history would acknowledge your restraint and good taste.
