a Rockumentary.

So a good bud of mine is really into film making, and one day decided he really wanted to do a rockumentary of my band JK.

Its gunna be basically a scripted documentary. (is that an oxymoron?) In which we'll actually film real gigs and stuff, just letting the crowd know whats going on and what they have to do. we're going to throw in some real funny stuff.
Right now, we have a couple ideas- such as at one of our gigs, I ask someone to come and hold down one note on a keyboard for me as I play, then I decide I like this guy and want him in the band. Kyle, the other guy in the band hates this new guy because he always is stealing kyle's spotlight and does useless things like the kazoo and triangle. We're going to use that as a starting point, but as for some of the actual occurances at these gigs or what to do with the plot, we dont quite know yet. We're all are getting together next week to get some ideas down.

So if you guys have a couple ideas, NO MATTER HOW REDICULOUS, that'd be sweet. actually, the more rediculous the better. One idea we already had was for Kyle to use the Space/Time continum device to go back in time and sabotage the n00b in the band. the possibilities are endless- we have all summer to shoot this movie.

If anyone can think of good ideas, you fine folks here at GT most definatly can.

I have several genius ideas for this type of thing, but I'm still kinda clinging on to the hope that someday we'll make our own rockumentary. It's been like 4 years in the making and we have loads of jokes, but it's the work that gets us. Oh well. Maybe someday.

Anyhow, best of luck. I hope by the time it's done I have a computer capable of watching it.

Sounds like a fun little project you got going. Cant think of anything right off the top of my head but would like to see what yall come up with. Good luck bro!

You should have a gig where all the musicians are bouncing up and down on trampolines or something.

Heh, we did a video like this years ago about the break up of our band. We really were breaking up but made this totally fake video about how devastating it was. Of course, we talked about the 3 previous drummers who'd died on their own puke.
"...our drummer also pukes...but at least he hasn't died yet"
The black keyboard player who will only play on the black keys because of racism.
The poster in the background of two of the members of the band wanted for theft.
The interviewer who asks the band 'who was your biggest influence?" and we all answer at the same time "Ace Frehley".
The bass player who decided to play bass because it has two less strings than a guitar so it's less work.
Everybody in the band had their microphones raised as high as posible and pointed downwards so they had to look up to sing.
Add in a mysterious songwriter in the background who's always scribling notes and a chinese girl sitting in the corner and ya got yerself a video.

Oh man, we have so many recurring bass jokes for ours. One of them is that Michael never actually wanted to play bass and he keeps trying to get out of it. So he throws his bass off a bridge one dark night. The next morning, he walks out into the kitchen and his bass is sitting upright in a chair at the table, dripping wet and with a bowl of cereal in front of it. He gasps and says "Damn it!"

In this other one, we're all playing music, trying to record one of our songs, and Luke stops drumming and says "This isn't going to work. The mic is pointing right at the drums!" So I say "Damn it, Michael, play your bass!" The camera pans over to Mike, who is standing in front of Luke's drums pointing at them. "NO!" he shouts, all tantrum-like. So I take a step towards him like I'm gonna hit him and he runs out the door, shielding his head.

LMFAO. The bowl of cereal would be brilliant.

I'm cool with it, but you should ask Michael. I think it was his idea.
