AIBU at the age of 37 to want to be a rock star?

[alistron1]

Obviously I know it will never happen, but whereas other people dream about winning the lottery, having a new car or buying the house of their dreams... I dream about being the front woman of a band headlining at glastonbury

I do play in a duo with DP, but so far we've not been brave enough (or able to agree on a set list) to perform properly in public (only in front of friends/family)

I just want to be Robert Plant (but not if he's the one boffing liz jones)

My DP and kids think that I'm a saddo. And they are probably right

Flame me and make me bloody grow up.

giyadas, I am overcome with awe. The redesign captures the true spirit of rock.

I just wondered, where do we all stand on mullets? It would be a bit of a gimmick

Each band member needs to record their bit and then a clever person can mix it all. We can be rock stars without even leaving our homes. We need someone to report this thread so MNHQ can spring for the leather trousies, talc, equipment, video streaming, technicians, t-shirts and rider demands.

We also need to think about boring stuff like actually playing music, but that's a minor consideration TBH.

music, shmusic.

gotta get the t-shirts and mullets sorted first.

my OH could do the mixing...

surely MNHQ have a spare techguy we could swipe?
I can't manage Big Hair of any kind though sadly. Unless it's on my legs

If we're having leather trousers, could they have elasticated waists please?

I can't sing, or dance or play any instruments, so can I just throw the TV out of the hotel window please? That is really rock'n'roll.

Oooooh I can head bang though, I could do that too.

I'm going to be the one that puts one foot on the monitor while encouraging the crowd to sing (because I have forgotten the words!!)

I have been a professional singer for nearly thirty years. Believe me, after what I have seen, never say never, 'cos you just never know!

You will have heard my voice. It's funny, I've gone through times in my life where my singing was played more in a day, than whoever was famous that week.

...And if you choose leather keks on a sweaty gig...Don't go for a wee. You can't get the sods back on again! That's one of those, "only do once" things.

and boots? Big Pandora Peroxide boots.

oooh, where would we have heard you thisishowifeel?

are you the bodyform woman?

Can we start our first gig with
'For those about to rock' and finish with
'If you don't like rock n roll (it's too late now)

and can I shout 'scream for me' to our fans (in the style of Bruce Dickinson) please.

with a big scary inflatable Justine behind you, like eddie.

As frontwoman of 'Nice Ham' I have 2 requests: 1) Can I wear a top hat and 2) Can we include 'steady as she goes' in our set list.

Apart from that I'm cool with feet on monitors etc... ;)

You can only wear a top hat if you have some cool shades to go with them.
Of course you can have 'steady as she goes!!'

Half way through can we change the tempo a bit and have 'turn the page'
I want to see lighters (or more commonly these days lights from mobile phones) waving in the air!

we need some clever MN versions of songs, but I'm too dim to think of any good ones.
can I play with MNdness?
bark at the MN?
doesn't really work does it

I do an incredable impersonation of Jon Bon Jovi. Am I in?

(roughly translates into, sings with a bad accent and talks a lot of crap but is strangly hypnotic. "You will buy my album,and bring me pie" also questionable hair and dress sense. Big ego.)

I thought that we could rework guns and roses 'welcome to the jungle' as a downloadable guide to MN for newbies. 'you're in aibu and you're gonna die.....huh!'

VV excited at my role.
Yes, it was ooooooh makes me wanna dance, oooooh it's a new romance. i've just spent a very enjoyable two minutes on youtube. I am sure they were better when I was briefly a member.

I would very much like to be in a Shangri Las tribute band.

Anyone?

yy alistron yours is better

TFMD - the Shangri Ma's perhaps

I'm with the band. I already have the name and everything

I Love Greggs Sausage Roll
I Fruit Shoot The Sheriff
AIBU (sung to YMCA tune)
Young Mums (Go For It)
Days of Wine & Waitroses

DP and kids are now massively impressed that I am in a band called 'Nice Ham' they are asking about VIP tickets to glasto etc

We need to nail down a set list, and a time table
