If the 7 Thunders started a rock band......

By Ishi Tonu, in Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game

It would be called The Fu Fighters!

Badump bump

Nah... it would be called The BeatLengs.

Badum bump Tsss

Meanwhile, Fu Leng's theme song goes something like...

All seven and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of death
And we will taint them all
With a goblin horde and some Onisu
No one in the whole universe
Will ever save you

- Prince (of darkness)

And nooooow, Moto Tsume's song!

I am the very model of a cursed undead general

I command Dark Moto whether zombified or still mortal

I know the big Oni Lords, and I quote words of burning horrible...

A Seven clan army couldn't hold me back.

Were at of you at GenCon 2000, when Gold Edition was being previewed?

Amidst the excitement of a huge tourney, a lot of outrage over several factions being cut, and all the craziness of Rats Rats Rats, they staged a fun little play re-enacting the Thunders confrontation with Fu Leng. At one point, Shinsei is about to give his fateful pronouncement to Fu Leng that the Dark Kami is no mortal. Instead, the gentleman playing Shinsei exclaimed "You can't win, Fu! (fool)". Much laughter was had.1

And all the girls say, I'm pretty fly...

"..for a Samurai!"

If I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

Hey, now, Naval Cavalry seemed like a good idea at the time...

Great. Now I'll need to start working on some L5R song parodies when I get home. Maybe something like:

Crab

All in all we'll stop oni attacks with our Wall...

Crane

You're so Crane

You probably think this song is about you...

Lion

<Meow Mix jingle>...

...and so on

Not quite as strange as an experienced martyr.

The scorpions song, of course being - Lies, Lies, Lies.

Scorpion is already repeating their song.

An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change

The world is closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers
The future's in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change

Take me, to the magic of the moment, on a glory night.

You know just "Seven Thunders" sounds like a pretty cool band name.

Seven you say...I wonder if they whistle while they work?

Maybe some appropriately titled AC/DC song...

I was thinking "Matsu and the Pussycats", but no, yours is better.

As no one has thought of it, what instruments would they play?

I think they have already - (and I think this video has been posted on these forums before, but it is cool).

As for the instruments, I think the video shows Kachiko on the samisen, Tadaka on the flute...

Nice one. It makes sense. If they did a rock band, it would be J-Rock and visual K.

Dragon

Come, One at a Time, I'll duel you all, with my wakizashi...

I'm just gonna live that here.

And let you Google the lyrics with translation.

That was...well...wow. I really thought he was singing "protect my vows." Googling the lyrics definitely cured me of that misunderstanding. :blink:

Why Crane and Crab should never be allies.

And if I were like lightning
I wouldn't need no sneakers
Well I'd come and go whenever I would please
And I'd scare 'em by the shade tree
And I'd scare 'em by the light pole
But I would not scare my pony on my boat out on the sea
