Well, as October's theme is the first stage in creating a dream Band, I am opening a thread to allow which positions in the group should be filled. I am happy for as many positions as possible.

 

Each month will start off with a thread to allow names to be suggested for the "It's A Knockout" style contest to pick the overall winner.

 

Below are the 5 positions that I think should be filled:

 

- Male vocals

- Female vocals

- Guitarist

- Bassist

- Drummer

- Keyboardist

 

I shall start off with Guitarists for October.

I will get the thread up about nominating guitarists tomorrow when I am not feeling like a zombie.

No trumpeter? Trumpetist? Trumpeteer? Anyways, no person who plays trumpet?

no, unfortunately not. nor is there a keyboardist.

Yes a keyboardist is a must.  However, if we do instruments like trumpets, saxes, violins, or whatever, this dream band will take a long time to make. Of course, if we are willing to let it take that long and be thorough in our musical choices, then why not include extras like trumpet and so on. 

 

 

to tell the truth i don't think stuff like that would really bring a rock/metal band together and by the looks of things, that's what we're goin' for.

An electric violin is a pretty BA addition to a metal/rock band in my opinion.

 

Keyboards are a must

Keyboard player will be added. Totally forgotten, so a good addition.

 

I suspect I will leave this thread up for us to debate the additional elements to add. I am sure we could find kazoo players just for Maj! ;)

definately need an electric violin

For a rock band? I didn't even know there was a such thing as an electric violin...

You can get electric string quartets. Look up Bond and Escala.

Bond:

 

Personally, I think Bond are better than Escala, but that is my opinion. And I digress!

 

EDIT: I do know Bond play electric string instruments, I just can't find any videos to prove so! And found one!

I am sure we could find kazoo players just for Maj! ;)

 

Only if I can vote for myself ;D

the electric violin is BA. here's two on stage with Steve Vai (a phenomenal guitarist) at his live performance of "Where The Wild Things Are"

 

That there are....I have now seen an electric violinists...two actually lol

Hmmm guitarists....I'd say Eddie Van Halen or Joe Satriani.

I vote we do female vocals next.

All in good time!  ;)

sooo...are we going to finish this or are we just going to let it stagnate in purgatory?

This shall be returning for February. I tend to do a Christmasy theme in December and a review of the previous year as a theme in January. I suspect I will get the poll up about what area we will look at over the weekend so we can kick off again on February 1st 2010.

okay i was just curious...
