What if...there was a heavy metal/hardcore band with only LOTR characters? Who would be in it?

The Witch King would be the lead singer...Treebeard on bass...Frodo on the drums...and Aragorn on lead guitar....Mithrillica :D

Mithrillica :D
Thank you :D But what about Gollum??? Couldn't he be lead vocals, or at least drummer (using fish instead of drumsticks :D )? Gimli would also make pretty good bass, and I think I see a spot for Elrond on keyboard.

Mithrillica! I love it. :D Awesome thread Curubethion.

It depends what kind of metal they play. If it's thrash metal, I could definitely see the Witch-King as the lead singer. However, I think Tolkien's world would inspire power metal, just as it already has in bands like Blind Guardian.

For such a band we would need a lead singer with a tuneful but powerful voice, but someone who still has enough "edge" for metal. For this role, I nominate Aragorn, who would also be a clever lyricist. On drums, I think the dexterous Gimli, with Legolas on lead guitar, and Faramir on bass. If we wanted a second guitarist, I think Galadriel would be cool.
All these individuals demonstrate musical skill at various points in LotR IIRC.

What do you think guys? :D

EDIT: Cross-posted with Curubethion, since I took hours. I agree, Gimli definitely has to be in the band. Maybe we should get another Dwarf in there - they are just so metal. Maybe Thorin Oakenshield?
Having a keyboard makes me think of Sonata Arctica - a super cool metal band. :cool:

Only problem with Thorin is that he'd be a wraith or something like that...you could always use the King Under the Mountain...who was that at the end of LOTR?

dain, :eek: well... i guess you could use him, and you should probably have a troll on the bongo drums :D :D

True, considering the trolls that showed up in the movie who were playing huge drums...

Dain?

Yeah, I guess we can't just pretend certain characters are alive here. :D

This should be discussed in the Teacup Cafe and not in a separate thread.

IIRC, it is a place where people can chat as in a coffee house.

I hope this helps a little. :)

Congrats! Welcome to the Elf Lord club, now officially renamed the Red Sox Lovers club... :p ;) (okay okay I'll stop)
So...does anyone want to work on a Mithrillica logo?
I think we have:
Aragorn-Lead vocals
Pippin-Bridge vocals (you know, that wailing voice that's not the lead)
Legolas-Lead guitar
Faramir-Bass
Gimli-Rhythm guitar (I just thought of this)
Troll/Gimli-Drums
Correct? Any changes? (We oughta schedule a show soon... :D anyone want to write songs? :D )

How about female vocalist as well? I always thought metal sounded cool really heavy with a really pretty female voice in the background. You know like sort of enchanting and really high notes. Like maybe Galadriel I guess.

or eowyn can join eventually, then her and faramir can be distracted during rehearsal, and they can cause the break up...like john and oko in the beatles...

Hmmm....:D. Well, actually Eowyn would make a good female vocalist.
