Alright, this is the first of many hypothetical scenario threads, in an attempt to liven up this forum a bit.

This particular hypothetical scenario revolves around music, so I'm sure you'll all have no trouble.

So, here's the situation: You have the chance to make a 12-track cover album, with any tracks of you choice. What would you do for the following:

Band Name: Something original. And no crappy takes-offs, like "Woodallica", "Mantera", or "The Lightness".

Stage Name: Would you have a stage name, and if so, what would it be?

Record Label: You can go with any record label of your choice.

Your Role: Would you be the vocalist/guitarist, the drummer, the keyboardist, or the bassist? (Note: Since this is hypothetical, it doesn't matter prior experience you have)

Other Members' Roles: How many other people would you have in your band, and what be their role(s)?

Genre: What genre would your band be, and what kind of feel would you give to the covers you're doing?

Album Name: What would you name your cover album?

Cover Songs: What would 12 songs would you cover?

...take it away.
