He was almost the drummer for The Jimi Hendrix Experience when in an audition Hendrix was unable to decide to pick either Dunbar or Mitch Mitchell - the latter won Hendrix's coin flip.
Dunbar led the Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation, who wrote the song "Warning", covered by Black Sabbath on their debut album. Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation issued a number of albums. Dunbar was later the drummer for Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention, featuring on albums such as Waka/Jawaka, and The Grand Wazoo. In the mid 1970s, Dunbar joined Journey for their first four albums; he left and joined Jefferson Starship for three albums. In 1985, Dunbar joined Whitesnake, and drummed on their 1987 album, Whitesnake. He also spent some time working with Eric Burdon and The Animals.
More recently, in 2005, he drummed on Jake E. Lee's solo Retraced album.
