If the Mane 6 were to form a rock band...

[Tollhouse 79]

Just for fun!

 

Who would play what instrument?  Who would sing? What would their first album be called?  Song names? What kind of rock would they play?

Apple Jack  - Acoustic Guitar, backing vocals

Pinkie Pie- Drums

[Shadow Chaser 633]

AJ: Drums

Fluttershy:  Lead Vocal

Rarity: Backup vocal

Dash: Bass

Pinkie: Guitar/Percussion beyond drums

Twilight:  Lead Guitar/Some vocals

[DR Leper Lupinstein 410]

They would play Hardcore. their message would be about never givin up in the face of trials, stickin tight to your friends, getttin over your vices and scarred past, and fighting back against opposition, while telling ponies to live by honor and stick up for the broken and shattered.

 

Pinkie would be on the drums with double kick pedals

 

Fluttershy is a bass player who can tear it up and belt some screams when her flutterrage kicks in and she starts slammin in the pit.

 

AppleJack is the semi-country fried lead guitar player while Twilight lays down some heavy breakdowns on her axe.

 

Rarity plays a violin to add some flavor and gets on the mic to scream

 

Rainbow dash is the main vocalist.

 

 

 

 

[Zygen 6,065]

Twilight: Lead singer

Rarity: Backup vocals

Rainbow: Electric Guitar
Pinkie pie: Drums

Applejack: Bass guitar

Fluttershy: Keyboard

 

I guess that kinda works, the only problem is I'm not sure what Rarity or Fluttershy would do if they play a song and for some reason don't need one of those .

 

They're album would probably be something like..

Rocking Equestria, or something generic, I'm not feeling creative right now I guess hehe.

[Pinkazoid 3,493]

Well, good to know i'm not the only one who thinks Pinkie'd do good on the drums :3

 

Dash, I think she'd be good on the electric guitar

 

I see Fluttershy/Rarity as the Bass x:

 

That's all i got x3

[Dzastur 1,719]

 

Kim Fowley: The Trotaways were...a conceptual rock project that failed. Do I regret that they turned on me? No, I'm glad they turned on me. It shows spirit. If I'm training a wild pony, and it bites my hand, I know I've trained it well... My hand is made of iron... That's all it took, that's all it took. 16 years old and Rainbow Dash is already a creep. Am I worried about them? No, they'll be fine. In a few years they'll all be living in a Ponyville barn...

 

 

(That's what I'd like their band to resemble.)

This thread appears to be discussing MLP:FiM in some way, shape or form. Thus, it has been sentenced to Show Discussion.

 

This is an automatically generated message, by the way.

[Rainbow Dash Loyalty 1,274]

Lead Singer: Twilight Sparkle

Lead Guitar: Rainbow Dash
Guitar: Applejack
Bass: Fluttershy
Drums: Pinkie Pie
DJ/Keyboard: Rarity

I was thinking of some sort of Alternative/Rock Band xP

[PinkiePieClone 35]

Er...I don't see Pinkie Pie as anything other than the lead singer. Here's why:

 

1. It's obvious...she LOVES to sing. In a lot of episodes, she's the one singing, and not the others.

 

2. She's extremely social. To be the frontman/frontwoman of a band, you need to interact with the crowd.

 

3. She's, of course, has boundless energy. If you notice, most singers of bands need to jump around while they sing. A singer who does not move would probably bore the crowd.

 

 

As for the rest:

 

There needs to be a songwriter. The job as songwriter would probably either be Pinkie Pie, or Twilight Sparkle. If you've noticed, Twilight Sparkle is a bit of a writer. I wouldn't put it past her to write poetry, or even songs.

 

The guitar player would be probably be Applejack. That seems to be a fairly common country instrument, though I'm not certain I could see Applejack in a rock band. She'd more likely be Country/Western...but nevertheless....

 

Rainbow Dash would likely be on the drums. She's a tough girl, and if you've noticed the "tough ones" are usually either lead guitarists or drummers. Since Applejack is the one playing the guitar, then it only makes sense that Rainbow Dash would play the drums.

 

I'd assume that Rarity would have two jobs, like Pinkie Pie (if she's also a songwriter). Rarity would likely be both the keyboard player, and the costume designer. After all, stage outfits are pretty important for image, which is a big part of the music industry.

 

EDIT: I think I forgot fluttershy...poor, poor Fluttershy...Anyway, I suspect that she'd be either bass back up vocals.

 

 

If you guys have noticed a few of the characters would be doing two things at once. This is actually not uncommon when it comes to music.

Twilight would sing

 

Rainbow Dash would play the electric guitar/back up vocals

 

Pinkie Pie would play the drums

 

Fluttershy would play the piano/keyboard

 

Rarity would do...uh...  What would Rarity do?  Hm...  Maybe be a backup piano/keyboard player or back up singer

 

Applejack would be the acoustic guitarist

 

Their first album would be called "Friendship is Magic" and they'd probably just sing rock songs about friendship.

[IronPonyApplejack 318]

I can see AJ doing acoustic guitar....or drums

 

Pinkie...something loud and potentially obnoxious. A horn of some kind, or maybe her on drums instead of AJ.

 

Twilight sang at the wedding, so why not do that more?

 

Fluttershy won't want to ever be the focus of attention....bass....or maybe just a triangle? XD

 

Rarity I think would be keyboard and backup singer.

 

And Rainbow would definitely go for something like electric guitar/lead guitar. Loud, proud, and gets attention.

[MelancholicMemory 2,022]

I think they'd all quit as soon as they realized how hard it is to play most instruments with hooves

 

Since everyone is saying what instrument they'd play, I'm going to go in a different direction and say what kind  of singers each would be and compare them to real singers.

 

Dash- Axl Rose; loud, very self-centered, always running around and yelling, and would probably break up the band

Rarity- Freddie Mercury; an incredible energy and vocal skill, yet still remaining refined

Applejack- Gretchen Wilson; one o' them country music singers

Fluttershy- she'd be very shy and nervous about it at first, but she'd eventually have a beautiful, passive voice like John Lennon

Twilight Sparkle- Eddie Vedder; I can just picture her with a Pearl Jam sound

Pinkie- Jaret Reddick; extremely positive, uplifting, and exciting. She'd bounce all over the stage.

changed my mind... rarity runs the merch table. violin in hardcore is a horrible idea. otherwise, the rest keep their positions.

[~Sole~ 852]

In my opinion, dash would make a good heavy metal vocalist because of her voice. The way her voice cracks might actually help. I will have to think more on the rest.

idk, i think rainbow dash would be in a riot grrl band. i mean she always kinda reminds me of joan jett cuz of her attitude and punky sounding voice. and joan jett was the original riot grrl.

If the Mane 6 were a rock band, then they'd be the cutest and most cuddliest rock band you have ever seen. Infact, they'll be so cute you'll forget they were a rock band in the first place.
