Anyone want to start a PUNK BEATLES trib? Called the F*CKLES?

Description

If you know your Beatles, you probably recognize that they tapped into the punk vibe earlier than nearly any other band. Taking loads of speed and playing the red light district in Germany for years, they were as gassed as the crowd, and played gigs that lasted until morning... amped up on amphetamines and the privilege of being young and talented. I've trade marked the name F*CKLES and feel like this should be a no-brainer. Also I don't care of some chicks want to be in the band, as long as they can play, or sing their guts out... I also don't care if it's 3 piece or 8 piece... or if we look like ANY of the Beatles... if anyone wants to make an issue of this, the patent response of the F*CKLES will be F**** YOU... and you may or may not adopt a British accent! Many of the songs from the early days won't even require much tweaking... some may even have to be SLOWED down! Because as I said, they were already hitting on that wavelength... it was the producers and the managers that reeled in the "savage young Beatles" to a more refined and palatable level... when if you saw them at the Kaiserkeller (spelled wrong, so what? F*** YOU) or the Cavern club, they would have sounded not unlike a lot of punk bands, now! Fast, with distorted, cheap little amplifiers... some weren't even AMPS, but little tube hifi systems that had a "guitar input" but sounded like a nest of hornets when you turned them up... and they LIKED THAT... lol Obviously, you must know your Beatles songs, and you instrument... you must know HARMONY and be able to sing and play in tune (yea, I know... F*** YOU)... and you must have the energy that this requires... and understand that it's a punk band... age is not an issue... but attitude is... appearance is... and overall interest from the musical community. If no one wants to do this... if they stay in their same, idle, apathetic, trolling, non-playing, pointless existence, then this idea will suffocate, shrivel and fall away like that poor, misguided BRAIN slug... F**** YOU! you picked the WRONG BRAIN, slug... Anyway... that's about it. I'll be singing and playing guitar... though I could do any of the other stuff, too... if anyone can approximate the sound of a mellotron, but mess with it... like instead of strings, some scraping noises etc... but that's about it... aside from one more thing... F**** YOU!!! Serious about the band, though...
