          Well,  its happened again…  I’ve spent too much time listening to David Bowie and Marilyn Manson
Wait!  Before you decide to flee in terror you have to hear me out! 

           Both Mechanical Animals and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust could make a perfect basis for a game.  And I want to make it happen,  I want to attempt to capture the feel that both of these albums created,  by infusing a game with enough glitter,  tight pants,  and gnarly hair styles.  It sounds shallow I know,  but before you judge lets think about it.

             A beautiful creature from out of this world suddenly appears on earth, and soon discovers music.  The creature automatically falls in love with the concept as it had nothing like this from where ever it came from.  So,  he does what any teenager wants to do…  he forms a band.  Because of his somewhat odd appearance he soon develops a following.

              Now, the music doesn’t exactly matter…  I’ve tried to roleplay a concert type scene before and it usually fails miserably.  So this would focus on the interaction with the band and fan’s instead of trying to make the musical part flow correctly.

are you thinking a one on one, mechi?  or having an actual band with several people playing band members?  I'd be interested in the later set-up - i've always wanted to be in a band  :D

     I'd like it to have multiple characters if possible,  it'd kinda be hard to pull off as a one on one.

that's kind of what i thought - if you're willing then, I'd love to play - just don't make me be the drummer!   ;)

But the drummer gets stuff tossed at em...

Just drop me a line about what your thinking...  If you kind find the Dope Show Video you'll kinda get a hint at what I'm going for or just listen to either of the albums I listed.

The drummer is the best.....they have the character and are the ones who must be hyped up the most...I have always had a soft spot for the drummer....
It's been fun, but Elvi has now left the building

MechanicalImpulses

I won't argue with that... they are usually the most fit member of the band as well,  Unless were talking about John Bohnam...

Why is it always the drummers that are crazy anyway? It seems to be a recurring theme in most bands...

Could be, I guess bashing drums for a few hours is lible to make one a tad bit eccentric anyway.

Now this is a good excuse to dust off my bass ans see if I can still really play. I made my mom buy me bass guitar lessons after I saw that old cartoon Jem and the Holograms. :)

Elvi

Yep...it's the adrenalin and the ammount of energy that they have to expend during a set.....There is also a theory about the constant vibrations that they feel when playing and the ammount of concentration it takes to keep it up.

Dream job really......may join at that Mech.....*grins*

Most excellent...  glad to have some more people to glam it up with.

Its semi embarrassing to say this... but I actually remember that show.

Well,  that probably leaves Cherri with Guitar if she's still interested.

Still room for a keyboardist,  fans.... with the um privilege of being back stage, a money Grubbing manager attempting to have the music loose its soul for ratings…  roadies… whatever anyone can think of really.

Spots taken
Bass-  AppleofEris
Drums- Elvi
Guitar-  Cherri???

Keyboard/synth and some backup vocals sounds like it would be cool.

I actually played a Moog synth back in the day, but never did manage to be part of a band...

   So should I get a board set up?  I'll still happily accept players when the game is running.
