Forming a CP Band?

[Coach]

Drums

[Bmuzyka]

I was a singer many moons ago before I had kids. I am also a rhythm guitar/acoustic guitar guy. But this thread is also asking for the following quote from Sling Blade:

We don't got no Goddamn band!

[troutman]

The less talent the better - totally punk.

Nope, I totally plan on having a cocaine overdose, causing me to fall into my pool and drown.

I'll be the tragic catalyst for the reunion.

Yep, lead balloons and no-talent fans of PP&M and the Du. Look what happened to those bands.

Wish I were up there to see this, and maybe jam too! Sounds like a cool idea.

Take some vacation time and come down for a few weeks of sex, drugs and rock and roll

[troutman]

Beth, I know you're lonely
And I hope you'll be alright
'Cause me and the boys will be playin'
All night

[Puppet Guy]

Ridin' down the highway
Goin' to a show
Stop in all the byways
Playin' rock 'n' roll
Gettin' robbed
Gettin' stoned
Gettin' beat up
Broken boned
Gettin' had
Gettin' took
I tell you folks
It's harder than it looks

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you think it's easy doin' one night stands
Try playin' in a rock roll band
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

If this band isnt named 'Hookers and Blow' and the first song isnt 'Fotzes Mom Has Got it Going On' I dont know that it will be successful.

No, we can't name it that at first. That is for after Troutman loses his cool, and the rest of us want to leave and make our own band!

[Puppet Guy]

the name has to have umlauts over the vowels. All the cool groups use umlauts.

for those who aren't up on their umlauts:

[Flash Walken]

troutman's getting the band back together:

[troutman]

Double umlauts

Band names?

This band will have more members than Earth, Wind & Fire!

I got lead guitar, prepare for solos when you least expect it
