Create your own band

Heres a bit of a game for everyone...tell me what kind of band you would like to create...you can be serious or not...tell me what instruments you would have and what type of music you would play...

If I had all the money in the world I would get

1 drummer
2 guitarists...Dimebag style
2 Bassists...one of them playing the octaves
Jack Black on vocals

Playing Norwegian Black Metal covers of Celine Dion and Abba songs

Hehehe...that would be funny

Goathemy tried to do that for a bit and it was awful. Other bands have done odd songs that were good though, so it might work.

Group name: Fae

Members:

One person on wind instruments: Tin Whistle, Flute and Piccolo, song dependent.
One lead guitarist *
One bassist *  
One vocalist + traditional percussion (Bodhran's etc.)
One drummer *
One keyboard player *

* at least one of these would be female, and two would do backing vocals. The idea is lead male vocals + male and female backing.

Band name: Evig Guldkorn

trumpet, cello, guitar and bodhra plus a bass uh, and sitar and saw...basically all the instruments you could imagine
vocals by a man and female, singing in tongues just for kicks
and I would be the one who doesn't do anything, except running around, stagediving(and falling), yelling, and swearing...lots of swearing.

the intention of the band would be not to fit in any genre, and thereby getting the label avantgarde and and ROCKING OUT!
lyrics would be either about world domination or making fun of the audience, though it could more serious matters like sugarrush and wars and so on..

Name: Personal
Genre: Tripcore

(I'm gunna use real names here and you should get the picture)

Lead Singer: Jessey Lacey of Brand New, because I'm convinced the boy could sing anything.

Guitar: Wes Borland of Limp Bizkit because people would buy any album with his name on it. Also he plays some decent power chord rock.

Bass: Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, I know he plays guitar, but the way he plays would be hot on bass. Slappy grungy bass rules.

Drums: Travis Barker because he looks like a human helicopter in cocnert, and somehow manages to make Blink 182 sound decent even though Mark and Tom cant play.

I would be concerned about their ability to play together though...

I'd really want to start a thrash-ska band. Like we'd pretty much sound like Against All Authority or Choking Victim or something, but the songs would really never be over a minute long. Just short, catchy riffs and screamy easy-to-learn vocals. Also I'd like to have 2 or 3 vocalists. Ideally the lineup would be:

Guitar
Bass
Trumpet
Trombone
Drummer

with any of those people doing the vocals. The horn players doing vocals would be real cool. Like they would trade off singing and playing. Trombone is blasting...trumpet player is singing...trumpet player is laying down a sweet riff...trombone player is screaming his/her balls/tits off. It would be a beautiful thing.

Edit: And the horn players would probably suffer an aneurysm or collapsed lung at every show. Clealrly. Scream...play wind instrument...scream...play wind instrument...builds healthy lungs and brain.
