<font color="red">Whereas I think your band would suck as a whole, I have to dig your choice on guitar here.</font>

Ok, I noticed a couple of you are just putting together an allstar band and a couple of you are putting together a nice sounding band. I'm going with the latter with a particular sound.

<b>Vox:</b> Robert Smith (The Cure, not the football player)-Provide signature lead vocals that cut through with a spooky passion and maybe some clean guitar melodies and or fills.

<b>Guitar:</b> David Gilmour (Pink Floyd)-Provide smooth effected guitar beds and maybe take the vocals for the harder hitting songs

<b>Keys:</b> Josh Silver (Type O Negative)-Provide full range of powerful moods with precision, strength, and touching dynamics.

<b>Bass: </b>Eric Avery (Jane's Addiction)-Provide flowing rhythmic bass lines for both the dark ballads and the hard rolling action songs. Has proven he can do both quite effectively.

<b>Drums:</b> Lars Ulrich (Metallica)-Provide heavy handed pounding drums filling up every hole left in the EQ spectrum while maintaining dramatic backdrops for the more melodic pieces. Like Avery, he can do both very well.

<b>Back up Vocalists: </b>Sarah Brightman, Kate Pierson (The B52s), Sting (The Police)

<b>Live Guests would include: </b>Allison Krauss, Raul Malo (The Mavericks), and Chris Isaac for thier vocal abilities.

My band would make really good records and have a fantastic live show. They would create an awesome atmosphere and provide music to get lost in.</font></b>

Hoblit, Hoblit, Hoblit...

I'd say things, but I think we've discussed this before.

You don't have to like him or anything. I'm certainly NOT endorsing this guy's personality.

Well, that's cool. I was talking about his drum abilities, but I think we agree to disagree. And I certainly agree that his personality is nothing to vouch for.
