The Old Man Band (Players Over 30)

[Pubknight]

I have "Free Beer Tomorrow" - which I guess is my 'main' band. It's from the old joke neon signs you may have seen in bars in the past.

My other band that I just started is "Eric's Tile Dysfunction". I started it up to get a fresh slate of challenges, etc, to learn hard bass while I'm recovering post-surgery and can't sit at the drum set.

So the idea was basically that Free Beer Tomorrow would be my hard drums band, and Eric's Tile Dysfunction would be my hard bass band. When I move to expert drums, I'll probably make a new band for that. That's a habit I got from the Solo career in RB1.
I had one band for drums, one for guitar/bass, one for vocals, and one for a 'full' band.

Well My bands name "Artsy Fartsy" is kind of a joke that me and my wife came up with when we started rock band 2. It kind of goes back to an inside college joke that is only funny to the both of us. As for game play there where a bunch of people on I was sending out invites like the mailman delivering christmas presents on the 24th! When I did get an invite I could never get in the practice room fast enough I guess. But I will keep trying. Megatron I hope you did not get annoyed with my constant invites but Zarlor said you where in a full expert band and with out a drummer so i was trying to get in on that also. I know I told you already Z, but that get up you had on was awesome! Man You sure commanded attention on stage with that thing on!!!

My band is GOP, which is a band I played guitar for in college. I made characters for my old bandmates.

Brett picked Friends of the Family, I guess for lack of a better title at the last minute..smile.

I am sure I will come up with something cool for the "girl" band...

Megatron, we were going back and forth with the invites tonight, sorry about that. Brett and I was switching off on singing and drums tonight.

PK, you didn't explain where the name "Eric's Tile Dysfunction" comes from, though. Some friends of mine said that if they ever had a band they would just name it "Free Beer", that way all of their signs would say "Free beer at *wherever* tonight!" Figuring they'd get more people into the place, even if they were pissed that it was just a band name and not actually free beer.

Eric's Tile Dysfunction is something that struck me as humourous whilst on prescription painkillers.
Eric's Tile = Erectile.
And the name combined with the logo of the bikini clad girl on the phallic rocket, struck me as hilarious.
I also thought it was a good name for an "old man band" based group

The stupid thing is I just "got it" about 5 minutes before reading your post. I feel like a bit of an idiot now! It's is funny, though.

My band name is from a place I used to always go in the desert with my family to ride four wheeles and motorcycles. Ocotillo. The name is from a plant, http://www.blueplanetbiomes.org/ocotillo.htm, some of my fondest memories are of off roading in that area.

i started out naming the band "Friends of P" (based on a song title by "the Rentals" + 1st initial of my last name is P). I deleted, restarted my info on the game/website a few different times - so when i went to play online tour, it said the band name was already taken, so i updated it to be called "Friends of the Family" for no special reason. i had started another band/character named after my website, but deleted them, just in case HMX may think it was against "the rules" of advertising or something.

Hope you're ready for some rush Z, you're going to need all your platinum vocal skills! You can take a break during YYZ.

Our band "Rents" is short for parents. My wife set it up when we first played RB1 with our friends. It was originally "The Rents" but that was already taken in RB2.

Also, I may be alone on this but how come in all the discussions on what bands/acts are missing from RB, Elvis is never included. I'm not a big Elvis (much more of a Beatles) fan but you can't deny the historical significance. Plus, they'd be fun as hell to sing.
