I say we take out all those instruments (guitar, bass, drums)


And replace with...

4 oboes = guitar
Bassoon = bass guitar
Timpani drums instead of a set


The "secret" instrument is... that weird metal thing with 2 handles that you swish back and forth to make cool sounds. What's that thing called?
There are only two important things in life - There's music and theres girls, not necessarily in that order....

Yeah, Zeppelin used a mandolin a lot.....but our style is more heavy metal. The closest band we can be compared to is Corrosion Of Conformity, some say Black Label Society, and the engineer at the studio where we just recorded said we sound like a cross between Motorhead and Slayer...

Interesting combination- a cover of Ace of Spades with mandolin would rock!

How bout a grand piano?It would be great to hear a full rich piano sound instead of the fake keyboards and synths in some metal.

Specific backdrop sounds should be implemented more often...like the sound of the wind or a lava flow thru the whole song.
Try once,fail twice...

I would like to hear violin with distortion as a lead instrument in a rock band.
Bass guitar is the answer to everything

I got it!! Maybe it's a band with no instruments at all.

They just beat on pots and pans, and play on a homeade guitar!!!

Maybe.....???

a friend of mine was telling me theres a composition, where the first part is 20years of silence... there's gotta be a few album's worth in silence...

there is an album made up of 1 and 2 minute silences... at first i lauged at the idea, but then the artist made a good case, it's not actually silence, like the one for princes diana, you can hear some body shout something, and you can hear some noises, but there are actually thousands of people there...

That was ingenious. A bit of a stretch, but nonetheless I'll give credit where credit is due.
