Mithrillica
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

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

Mithrillica! I love it.
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? 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.

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?

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

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

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

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...
