I haven't taken part in any of the draft threads before this one, so what's the drill again? We just rank everyone's bands, without including our own, correct?

Yeah great job on the articles everyone.
Dukes, I like how yours is sort of like the stream of consciousness (I'm guessing) that you went through when picking your band, but presented as if the band members we actually making it.
Pdx, your art was great, but I'll admit my favorite still probably has to be bozz's though.
Also, SacKings, what does A.P.O.C.A.L.Y.P.S.E. stand for?

I'll have to ask the band
. Nothing. I wish I were creative enough to make it stand for something, but I''m not. I just think it's a cool name

I kind of like the idea of it not standing for anything. It makes all the periods completely superfluous, like Spinal Tap's umlaut.

The Early Years, Part 1:
In the beginning, a long time ago, in a basement far far away...
Little Lenny and his friend Stevie sat relaxing after a marathon afternoon of Dungeons & Dragons, in which Lenny's dwarven druid Dumbledain had just bravely defeated a pack of rabid dryads led by Gnara, the evil goose goddess of gonarrhea. And brie.
Suddenly, a strange and wonderful being appeared! A space dog who just so happened to be an evil genius as well!
Lenny bravely stepped forward to smite the evil dog with his +1 oaken cudgel...until he remembered that he did not actually have a +1 oaken cudgel, at which point he quickly sat back down. The evil space dog laughed manically, and began to whisper in the children's ears. Promises of booty and bootay rolled off its tongue.
The children listened, and grew excited. All this and more could be theirs if they just signed over 3/4 of everything they earned (gross of course) to the strange little dog as their "manager". Over the course of the next thirty seconds the evil dog explained to them everything he felt they needed to know about the 324 page contract. At 4:01pm, excited and inspired, Lenny and Stevie signed the document in their own blood.
"Muhahahahahaha!" laughed the evil dog. "But if I, er...you, are to truly rule the world, we must make some
changes."
"First, we work on your image!"

The Early Years, Part 2:
"Hmmm..." said the evil one. "What we need now is a drummer!"
Stevie suggested his little brother Marvin for the role. He was pretty good:
[yt=First Drummer]dLbsVgkwJ38[/yt]
The evil dog suggested someone else, he was better:
[yt=Carter Beauford - Drums]84UoUPcvQCs[/yt]

The Early Years, Part 3:
The evil dog looked and saw that what he had wrought was good, and he said "Lo! I am a happy dog." and promptly peed on the rug.
But the evil genius of his plan was not yet complete, and as he examined what he had wrought once again, he said "more image!" "We need some funk or we're sunk! And a bassist too!"
Many of the neighborhood's funkiest kids came to audition:
But again the dog had other ideas:
"Now ain't nobody gonna mess with our funk!" he chortled before raising a leg to lick himself.

The Early Years, Part 4:
And the evil mutt looked once again upon his creation, and said to himself, "and now for the masterstroke!"
"Let there be guitars!"
Auditions lasted for months in search of the perfect axe to finish the evil dog's vision. Some of the applicants were very good:
[yt=Good Guitarist]0ufzmiJE8io[/yt]
Some not so much:
[yt=Not so good guitarist]iGjDdfT8Ppg[/yt]
Until finally, one day, the evil dog had an epiphany, "I like hats!" he said. And soon thereafter they had their man:
[yt=Slash - Lead Guitar]wPJM4czWkNw[/yt]

The Developing Years, Part 1 -- The End of An Era
It was then that ego reared its ugly head.
The evil space dog looked out once again upon his creation, and he still was not satisfied. "I have created all of this," he said to himself "and I can do still better."
He pondered deeply under his little doggie brows. "They have image, they have chops," he said. "But do they have sex appeal?" The question bothered the space dog for weeks and months as the band began to play practice gigs at local clubs. No matter how many women approached Lenny & Stevie, still the dog was not satisfied. "I can do better" he said to himself, over and over.
Suddenly, the evil dog had another epiphany. He called the band together, and prepared them for the good news. He would underwrite whatever procedures were needed...just so long as the band paid him back at 26% interest. He had seen the future:
Needless to say, the dog was fired the very next morning.
The band was finally on its own.

The Developing Years, Part 2 -- Malaise
Initially the band was lost without their evil mentor, and fell back into old habits:
"You know what we need?" said Lenny one evening after the band had gathered to watch the entire first season of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine back to back.
"No, what?" said Slash around a handful of Cheetos.
"We need a name."
"I already got a name my man," said Bootsie.
"No, I mean the band," said Lenny. "We need a band name."
"Oh..." said Bootsie. "Yeah, that would be fly."
Many names were suggested and discussed. The Howling Klingons, Languid Butterfly, and Ferocious Cantaloupe were all popular options.
Finally Carter, who had thus far remained silent, made a fateful suggestion.
"What about..."

All I know is that the name better have as many words as posts in his wrap-up, or the link is gonna look funky.
