You start off in a highly successful band. You also start off on an über hard, un-beatable song.
Then when you fail, your band kicks you out, and leaves you for dead (if you're a girl character, the lead singer slaps you on the ass).
Then another band picks you up.
The female bassist, who handles all the press and media, the ego-maniacal singer who is really,
really dumb, and the drummer who is actually very intelligent, and handles the money.
Your quest is to defeat your old band in an epic battle of epic proportions.
