[edit] The Beginning
Within Temptation is a Romanesque-metal band from Country, Netherlands. The band was founded in the early nineties by guitarist Robert, when he stumbled upon a group of musical woodland critters in the Magical Forest. Robert's origin is unknown but he has revealed that a hundred years ago he played the roles of women in Shakespearean plays (Women were not allowed to act or spectate at the theatre in those days. The security guards would kick them or whip their buttocks savagely if they approached). Initially the band was called 'Robert and the Chipmunks', but changed their name when it became apparent that they were in fact very small possums, in addition to paying homage to their main musical influence, The Temptations
Within Temptation's co-founder Sinead O'Connor tried to make people believe that he was not a boy, but a woman. The recruited band members were always suspicious, though, and just before the first album was recorded they kicked him out of his own band. Sinéad was forced to embark on a semi-successful solo career. He scored a hit with the single Nothing Compares Pears Like You but ending up crying in the video due to an old security guard constantly whipping his buttocks.
[edit] Difficulties
Robert, the lead guitarist of the band, became worried at that point. They had eight songs written and no one to sing them. However, there was light at the end of the tunnel. One day, while Robert was walking through the meadows of Tír na n-Óg, he met a shy princess named Sharon. She was the most beautiful woman ever - and she could sing.
They made love. However, when Sharon declined the invitation to join the band, Robert picked up a rock and broke it over her head. It wasn't long before Sharon woke up in a strange bed with amnesia and nothing to live for.
Within Temptation was complete.
[edit] The Band
- Sharon den Straddle - lead singer. One quarter Irish, one quarter Dutch and half squirrel.
- Robert Chesty Hoe - guitarist. He grew up amongst fairy-folk which inspired him in the writing of the second album.
- Rude Anus Johnny - guitarist famous for his anus, which rudely interrupts most conversations.
- Jervoven ran Jeen - bassist. Band members gave up on trying to pronounce his name a long time ago. Now he is simply known as 'prick'.
- Steven Spielberg - keyboardist and part-time film director, his ego often gets in the way of the band's creative efforts, such as hunting leprechauns.
- Stephen van Oestrogen - drummer. Romantically linked with fellow lesbian Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day.
