Okay, the above names are just temporary. Here's the premise: It's the end of all known, unknown and parallel universes. It's the end times and not only our universe, but every universe imaginable is going to end (even the Unendable Universe 7.81). To fucking rock your socks off, we are going to have a party to end all parties. To do this, we have to put together the band to end all bands. The ultimate supergroup comprised of whatever fictional/real/imaginary personalities you can think of.

Here's the deal, though-- we're not looking for the greatest lead guitarist of all time, we want the most badass band. Thus, our guitarist is going to have to groove with our vocalist.

In that effort, I've put some placeholders in there as well. Now here's the deal- I'm sure there are some badass instruments that can be added with additional badasses. I'm open to that. I'm also open to replacing any of the placeholders above. All suggestions are welcome. Then we need to come up with a system to vote in the most badass combination.

Vocals: Peter Garrett--about 6'5", bald, and menacing.

Scott Pilgrim - bass guitar.

I'm going to replace both Boba Fett and Michael McDonald. I love Scott Pilgrim, but am totally not sold on Midnight Oil. I mean, we can have anyone- Freaking Dazzler could be our vocalist. So while I'm putting in Midnight Oil Guy, I still consider him a placeholder.

Imperator Furiosa should probably be replaced with:





At least for the time being.

No, I disagree. That guy was all fire and no shredding. I'm sticking with Furiousa, besides, she's more badass.

So we've settled on the voting system, then.

Jason from Friday the 13th has the primary task of dancing in the vicinity of the lead singer. He has the machete, but he never uses it, unless someone from the audience gets too close.

Jason will also occasionally grunt with no sense of rhythm or musicality, will hold up a mirror so that Frankensinger can watch itself perform, and will drape a cloak around Frankensinger's shoulders whenever it is temporarily overcome with emotion and unable to continue.

Jason's dancing is patterned on Judd Nelson in Breakfast Club.

Keeping the band together and in tune should be:



Naturally.

Okay, how about this - Imperator Furiosa driving a truck with Coma-Doof Warrior at the front, shredding and emitting flames, etc., on a track that circles around the stage.

As someone who saw the movie 10+ times during middle school or high school orchestra sub days, Mr. Holland is definitely NOT badass.

I'll nominate Andrew WK for vocalist.

I'll nominate Animal, from the Muppets, for drums.

Hmmm. It's hard to dispute Animal. I'm going to replace Cyborg Samuel Morse with Animal.

I think the doof/Imperitor Track idea is a decent compromise. We'll go with that.

Jason Voorhees as the Stage Dancer/Stage Props Manager is brilliant.

If we're going to have a conductor (which I don't think we should)- it needs to be Inside Out John Williams or no one.

I did good!

Hmm. You make a good point. While I like Inside Out John Williams, I'm thinking we should drop the conductor. Unless it's:

I'll nominate the Mos Eisley Cantina Band, which my research indicates is called "Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes," as a supporting band comprised of (my research indicates):

Figrin D'an on Kloo Horn and Lirin Car'n on backup Kloo Horn
Nalan Cheel on the Bandfill
Tedn Dahai and Ickabel G'ont on the Fanfar
And, of course, Doikk Na'ts on the Doremian Beshniquel

I think you'd be hard-pressed to find any more badass Kloo Horn players.

Okay, I'll go with buckett, but only as the opening act (we still need a middle opener).

As the Middle Opener, I've added Doctor Octopus and His Sinister Six.
