Build A Band

[Circle_One]

Damn, I'm having a hard time thinking up a name for my second band. Rockabilly bands are hard to name.

Awww, you can edit it in later when the perfect one pops into your head! :jam:

Build A Band


Here’s your chance to put together your own elite fantasy band to perform the music of your dreams. Who would you pick for your personal band? You can use any person from any time in music history…!

Choices:

1-2 Singers (one lead singer, one back-up vocalist)
1-2 Guitarists (one electric lead, one rhythm or one acoustic)
1 Bassist
1-2 Drummers or a Percussionist
1 Keyboardist/Synth Player (Optional)
1-3 Horn Section (Optional)
1-3 String Section (Optional)

You must name your band and tell us what kind of music they would play….can be a combination of styles.

just so everyone knows, most of you probably wont like my band... so blame Buttercup for putting me up to it

Name: Can't Remember
(then people would say, "what's the name of that band?" and "Can't Remember" would be the reply... ENDLESS hours of confusion )

We'd play probably alternative music...

Singer -- Elias Soriano (from band Nonpoint, cause its unique)
Backup -- Jessi Golden (from local band With These Words, we needed a woman's touch)

guitar -- Jimi Hendrix

bassist -- Flea ....why? just cause!

drummer -- Mike Portnoy (i havent seen anyone play drums like him!)

... can i replace keyboard with piano? Billy Joel if i can... (.... I wouldnt ask...)

String section: AL!!!! *hugs* and...
my cousins April and Mike, Stina, my friend Veronica.... (well, this would be a "work in progress" type of section... o.0 )

Why on Earth are you people putting me in your bands?! I'm flattered, but let's face it, I suck!

 

[Buttercup]

Yes, Ashley...you may substitute keyboard for piano...I should go edit that in!

And your band sounds awesome! I was going to choose Flea as well but I thought he and Tommy Morello would kick the crap outta the band so I toned it down with John Entwistle!

 

[Buttercup]

C-1....I'm lovin' your punk band! Whooooot! I wanna HEAR 'em!

 

[Bishka]

To Chris and Becky:

Why on Earth would you want me in your band?

You've never even heard me play! (And believe me, you don't want to)

I'm sure you are wonderful, besides, I like you, we get along, I wouldn't want someone in a band I wouldn't get along with!

C-1....I'm lovin' your punk band! Whooooot! I wanna HEAR 'em!

Why thank you, hehe. I gotta say though, your's sounds pretty rocking as well. No one's got a voice like Chris Cornell. Man, I love his voice.

Hehehe was sitting there thinking "I know what C1's gonna pick" last night. Doncha love it when you're right. And it's so true. Noone has a voice like Chris Cornell.

Temple of the Dog for the win!!!!

 

[Circle_One]

Bwahahaha! I guess when it comes to music, I'm kind of easy to read, eh? Just like I knew, Chrispy, that you'd pick, at the very least, one member from Tool, hehehe <3

You can ALWAYS put safe money on their drummer... f'ing godlike!

 

[Circle_One]

I'll take your word for it

I don't know. I know SO many people who love them, but I just can't get into them. At all... not that I've really tried, haha

 

[DeadVegas]

Singer: Roger Daultrey (The Who)
Guitarists: Jimi Hendrix & Slash (Guns N' Roses)
Bassist: Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
Drums: Kieth Moon (The Who)
Keyboard: Geddy Lee (Rush)

The singer was chosen mainly for prefference. It's no argument that Freddie Mercury is the greatest singer of all time, but for a rock band (the only band I'd start), I'd preferr Daultrey.

I blame the lead singer for turning a lot of people off... love his voice, but just too damn conceited and self-centric with the lyrics. There's a certain amount of theatre to them too

I think you might like a couple of tracks off the new one. Heard any Meshuggah before? pretty thrashy odd rhythm'd metal.

Yeah, I contemplated using Freddie as well but his style just didn't fit in with my band....and Roger Daultrey is an excellent choice! Flea is THE MAN!....heck, your whole band is friggin awesome

Don't forget to name it!

 

[Circle_One]

Nope, I've heard of them, but never heard them. I'm not much for metal, unless it's Glam-y Metal (like my darlings Psychotic 4 </obsession>). I'll check them out though, on your recommendation.

You know, Chrispy, you have to come visit me in Canada. I bet you'd be wicked fun to go to a show with.

If you don't mind copping an elbow or two in the face I'm 6 foot 3!! I usually sit down and stay sitting but that's cos I listen to unmoshable music... just trying moshing in 9 8 7 time signatures

I'll definitely have to make it to Canada though! Know any cute GIRL lead singers

Doll, I've been hitting up mosh pits since I was 13 (that's 12 years I feel old!), and I've gone home with a lot worse injuries than just an elbow to the face, believe me, I can handle my own

Yeah, but that's only because you guys don't get shows out there like we do here. You'd be in heaven at the shows that come my way. It's great.

And as a matter of fact, I do know cute girl lead singers Hey, you can have the girlfriend of my cute boy lead singer, she plays bass in a band, hahahahahaha!

Oooooo bassist chicks love em!!! hahah glad to hear you can handle yourself in a mosh pit. There was no doubt! Just wanted to make sure you knew what you were in for :biglaugh: *looks at his monkey arms and stork legs* co-ordination? what's that

 

[Circle_One]

Oh, I completely agree! There's not much in this world that's hotter than a chick playing the bass (unless it's a cute glam rock boy in leather pants... ok, off topic ).

No worries here, doll, I know what I'm in for. I'm sure I can handle you just fine hehehe
