thebes Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Yes, John Hinkley wants to start a band. He's been taking music therapy and sings and plays the guitar. I'm sure you all agree with me that the Klipsch Forum is all about redemption, and giving a hand up to those who faile in their earlier endeavors, be they attempts at building a killer stereo rig, surround sound setup, or a kick butt rock band. Yes, I feel that the denizens of this place are uniquely qualified to handle his rehabilitation and make him a credit to the greater community. So first things first. Or second, as the case may be. In other words we need to do two things, but which comes first. 1. Name of the Band. 2. Band mates. I'm inclined towards the view that if you have a great band name, the personnel will follow, so I'm leading off with finding a band name. Now "The Dead Presidents" is already taken, and the "John Lennon Revival" is probably a bit tacky. The "Rayguns" has some cachet, but while Ronnie thought everybody should be allowed to carry a gun, he wasn't so forgiving when it came to copyright law, so that probably won't fly. Me, I'm going with "The Second Amendments", and for some reason which makes no logical sense, but seems to fit, I want Ginger Baker as the drummer. So what are your thoughts? Band Name? Band Mates? The parole judge wants to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanm84 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 How about Johnny and the "Ron"ettes? Back up has to include Charlie Manson right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) CREW: John can play lead guitar with his 6 shooter, I mean 6 string. Charlie Manson won't rest being a back-up anything, but I like the idea of adding him to the crew. He'll definitely need his own microphone. I think Genene Jones would make for a killer back-up vocalist. It's a shame we lost Jeffery Dahmer and Ted Bundy, but I'm sure there's some other great talent to pick from out there. Ray Rice can double on the tambourine, or be in charge of band security. SOME BAND NAMES TO CONSIDER: "The Bad Seeds" "The Murderers" "Fame Seekers" "Rotten Apples" Edited April 25, 2015 by Gilbert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted April 25, 2015 Moderators Share Posted April 25, 2015 John Hinkley has been out for 17 days a month for some time now. He stays with his mother, who is very old, while he is out of the hospital. He didn't murder anyone so that wouldn't really fit, and he wasn't convicted of anything. So band name suggestions; The Van Gough's NGBRI Foster's Nightmare Jody Foster, Really? Brady and the Billtones Thorazine Electric Shock Treatmemt Wish You Were Here Connecticut Avenue Band mates: Rick Derringer Lorena Bobbitt, also NGBRI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanm84 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 That Lorena Bobbitt comment really cuts to the chase! I think there was a radio station that had a promo around her time - tickets to some event for anyone driving their car by some spot and throwing a hot dog closest to a target. Awesome huh? Sorry to thread crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Didn't we do this one all ready, it turned out to be Marilyn Manson and the Spooky kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Got a new band member. This he'll be great on the organ. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/15/joseph-oberhansley-eats-brains_n_5825696.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on lead, he was already on the cover of rolling stone so that's a good boost. Ramzi Yousef on bass since he likes to shake buildings. Richard Reid on drums, should be awesome on the kick drums, his shoes even caught fire while going super fast once For keys, we can take one of the several elephant poachers in prison who helped fund Al Shabab. They can really tickle the ivory. We shall call them The Martyrs. Edited May 6, 2015 by MetropolisLakeOutfitters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
