Is there a cultural touchstone that has been as wildly touched as MTVs Making the Band? Probably! But to continue our season of ripping ideas straight from Music Television, we're pulling a Diddy and crafting the next musical supergroup. Plenty of characters have touched an instrument throughout the history of video games and that's the only requirement for them to be considered for our bands! So grab your headphones, crank your tunes and jam out with us as we decide which video game characters should form a band!

If Dreamtheater and Tool are your speed, then Todd's band will be for you. Maybe you prefer the stomping and clapping of Florence and the Machine or The Mumford and Sons. If that's your vibe then you can get tickets to Kyle's band! And then there's Matt's band. Hope you like bits and bluegrass...
