If you could go back in time and be a founding or contributing member of any rock band in history (still touring or not), which one would you choose - and at what position? Skip past the obvious (EVH, Page, Clapton, etc.) and dig a little
I'm going to be Tommy Skeoch in Tesla (on a more sober level). My favorite rock band. They have been grinding it out in true rock fashion for decades. Great songs, great talent and just, you know, fun. That shit matters
I Love the smell of nitrocellulose in the morning. It smells like........Victory
That was my first concert without parents. Cinderella rocked the fuck out the place and Bon Jovi simply couldn’t follow them. Expectations blown to bits.
Ian Hill in Judas Priest. Not technically great but gets the job done in some of metals most iconic songs. Plus, sharing the stage with Downing, Tipton, and Halford.
Guitar in Dio's band would be my dream gig musically speaking. So that would be Vivian Campbell's original role.

hmmmmmmm...... First choice I'd would love to be a 2nd guitarist in Alice in Chains or Pink Floyd since those are just my favorite bands....... but I'd likely be just as happy in Pearl Jam or STP
I’d probably be Pat Smear. Founding member of The Germs, was in Nirvana, and gets to sloppily play the easy parts in Foo Fighters while somehow looking and acting younger than any of the other guys in the band despite being 10 years or so their senior.
Dude lived a crazy life in music.

I'm kind of surprised his name came up, but not disappointed. That dude looks like he's having a blast every time I see a Foo video.

I'm honestly surprised I said it myself but he's who I came to when I really thought about it. I mean unlike Dave Grohl he can probably walk down most streets and largely go unnoticed and like you said he always looks like he's having a great time and I'm sure the money relative to effort ain't bad either.

great choice - sideman to an all time great - great tunes - awesome musician! I have NEVER heard of any bad blood between him and Tom either.
and now he is (morbidly) free to take his legacy in any direction he wants!
Plus lots of cool guitars thru the years as well as being personal friends with Ringo and Frank Stallone. I'd say ol' Mikey did pretty well for himself.
