Your favorite bands as adventuring parties.

[Torm]

Jem and the Holograms:

Jem\Jerrica Benton: High Level Bard\Illusionist with an artifact set of earrings
Kimber: Human Bard\Rogue
Aja: Human Bard\Rogue (Acrobat) from Karatur
Shana: Drow Bard\Barbarian
Rio: LG Artificer

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

[Khayman]

The Sisters of Mercy

Andrew Eldritch (tiefling bard/shadow dancer)
Doktor Avalanche (modron duodrone with drums of panic)

The band is haunted by the shades of countless former members, at least two of which can always be seen hovering in the background. The party has a pattern of behaviour that includes crawling their way out of poverty, cleaning up some baroque dungeon, and then arguing over the reward money before disappearing into the wilds for years at a time.

Kate Bush: Bard/Witch/Witch Preistess (see Green Ronin's Witch's Handbook for the second two) ... maybe I'll edit this later when I think of some of the spells she'd have.

MANOWAR would be a fun party. All barbarians, with maybe a few levels of bard thrown in for good measure.

 

[Beale Knight]

Wouldn't all band members be Bards by nature? Except for ones who really couldn't play, like Sid Vicious, who were Rogues disguising as Bards

Prob'ly, or Experts with maxed out Ranks in Performance, but it's a lot more fun to stretch things.

Rush: Neil - Monk Geddy - Wizard Alex - Rogue

 

[Henry Hankovich]

Ozzy'd be a half-orc barb. Or maybe just an orc. He'd be led around on a leash by a halfling rogue named Sharon, whom he absolutely worships. Gnaarrr! I'ma ba duh wa bu prince ob EBIL! SHAAAAROOOOOON!

Ronnie James Dio is a total gnome.

Fred Durst would be one of those chumps who kills fellow party members for the XP. And he'd be a kobold. Which shows that anyone who actually teamed up with him is a ing idiot.

Oh, and Mick Jagger and Kieth Richards are a rare partnership of liches.

 

[John Crichton]

Actually, I think GWAR might actually BE a D&D party.

Hmmm. Not a party, methinks. More like denizens of a dungeon/cult/whatever...

 

[Numion]

At least some of the rappers you see in videos would make good adventurers: they're completely obsessed with treasure (jewels, necklaces and bracelets), like every adventurer should be.

+ they're more talk than action, like some adventurers

 

[yangnome]

I suppose this would put more meaning to the term one hit wonder

 

[NiTessine]

Wickett, you have Way Too Much Free Time In Your Hands(tm).

That said, here's Rhapsody:
Luca Turilli: Fighter/rogue.
Alex Staropoli: Wizard, on account of him engaging some sort of nekkid demon chick on a music video of theirs.
Fabio Lione: Fighter.
Alex Holzwarth: Also fighter.
Alessandro Lotta: Rogue/shadowdancer.

As for Iron Maiden, I can only surmise that Bruce Dickinson would either be a fighter or a swashbuckler who has a ghast cohort from his Leadership feat.
