MLN Music and Bands

MLN Music and Bands (MLNMB) was a subforum of the MLN Forum. In its later years, it didn't have anything to do with My LEGO Network (MLN) at all, but was still extremely popular. It originated in the early days of MLN as a way for users on MLN to make soundtracks and manage Concert Modules. In the forum, you could create an imaginary  band to post lyrics so long as they were LEGO-related and appropriate. The first MLN band was The Brickboys made by Kit-Fisto7, and many more followed. Some bands were very large with eight or more members, while others were duo-projects, trio-projects, or just a solo career. It was a very popular subform, but the topics were moved to the Lego City Roleplay forum, where many bands became inactive. Today, MLN Bands (now called CITY Bands) is almost completely inactive.

The Rolling Studs
The Rolling Studs was a very popular MLN Band which had three line-ups. It was the famous MLN band user Wiktorsz's first, and probably the most popular (with the possible exception of TIAS and Whitebrick) MLN band.

The first line-up was created when Wiktorsz quit the bands Brick-It! and Stud Stars, because of a misunderstanding. He became the leader and keyboardist. He also played keyboard, bass and used a drum machine, as well as instruments such as sitar and acoustic guitar. Gbg1101 was the first to join. He became the co-leader and lead guitarist. Ninja05501 became the rhythm guitarist. The first line-up was surprisingly popular, since they only released three studio albums, one compilation album and no singles. Their most well known song, The LEGO Time, took third place in a lyric contest.

The second line-up was created when Ninja05501 got very in-active. It consisted of Wiktorsz on bass, Gbg1101 as lead guitarist, Zillafan1998 on rhythm guitar, Kitty309257 on keyboards, and Graeme0102 on drums. The band released one (very well-known) studio album, Creative, and one live album, something very new to the MLN Bands. The band merged with Brickin' Heart to create the supergroup, Whitebrick.

The third line-up was created in early 2011, when nearly all members from the second line-up came back to MLN Bands. They recorded one last album, Exile On Fake St. which included their, ironically, only Rolling Stones parody, The band's name is also a spoof of The Rolling Stones.
