In an effort to spark some creativity in this forum besides lyrics posting...
Let's say you are quite musically gifted..and are going to start your own band. What would you do in the band (or what instrument would you play?)
What other musicians (they have to be living) would you have in the band? what would your band be named?

I don't know exactly what style of music would come out, but I think it would be fascinating to throw these guys in a room together and tell them to write an album.
Vocals - Mike Patton (faith no more, mr bungle, fantomas, etc.)/Trent Reznor (nin)
Guitar - King Buzzo (melvins)
Guitar - Duane Denison (jesus lizard)
Bass - Jaco Pastorius (al dimeola, joni mitchell, weather report, solo, pat metheny, herbie hancock, etc. etc. etc.)
Drums - Danny Carey (tool)
With this group, I'd be lucky enough to carry their equipment. But since its all fantasy, I'd play percussion/drums and sing.
The band name? Who the fuck knows, maybe..."Yet another side project for Mike Patton". Although thats a little long.

damn you maynard you stole my singer. :fuckoff:
anyway, i would play bass, and since it's fantasy, i'll give myself some talent and sing backup too. eric would be my drummer, but if i didn't have to say that to avoid a beating, mike borden would be my drummer.
um, guitarist, lets see i dunno, satch is really good and stuff, but i think i'd want somebody not so good, cos i wouldn't want to look bad in front of mike. so, i guess just any of the guitarists that are playing in any of the bands that get played on mtv. except whoever plays for creed cos i'd be too tempted to kill him.
