This is a great thread. I'm not that creative; I'm simply a rock songwriter. Wonder if I could do a concept album about the evolution of rcok and roll? |

Oh, we were on different pages. I believe the main purpose of this thread is to just get some creative ideas for concept albums (Ex: themes, story...), not to actually write/create a concept album. Believe me, I'd love to make one eventually (as I've said on before in this thread), but I'll admit that I'm not yet ready. My theory and musicianship and songwriting are not yet cohesive nor developed enough for me to attempt to write a progressive rock album that I am truly proud of and satified with.

The Boy grows up, and decides to do what the Butcher Does, which he finds out is too kill people for doing terrible sins. The Boy kills one man, feels horrible for doing it, and goes into deep drugs to releive his stress. The boy Falls in love and marries a girl who has helped him through his struggles, but is still hooked into drugs and is rapidly becoming more insane. The boy (who for all purposes will be called "bob") starts going to parties where he over a period of time becomes an alcohalic.

Here is my idea for a concept-album called "Nail"
Nail is a stand-in who sells vacuum cleaners in front of the housedoors. As you can see I thought my concept album could be about the life of vacuum cleaner-stand-ins. I often asked myself how a vacuum cleaner-stand-in feels and what kind of problems he has (I know this is a bit crazy). So my concept-album is for all the vacuum cleaner-stand-ins out there. I use to play some of the following songs together with my band "Sir Cedrik". Songlist: 1.) Nail 5:04 2.) Nobody 's opening 7:02 3.) Filthy dog 6:20 4.) At the doors 6:11 5.) Vacuum cleaner 5:47 6.) Back home 8:41 Bonus track (nail captured in a vacuum cleaner 1:51) Description of the songs: 1.) Nail 5:04 A little introduction which informs the listener about the most important places, people and dates in Nails life, just beginning with his birth. 2.) Nobody 's opening 7:02 This song is about the hard work of all the vacuum cleaner-sellers out there. In this song Nail is walking down the so-called "locked-street" where he is ringing at every single house but nobody is opening. 3.) Filthy dog 6:20 One day, Nail rings at the door of an unpolite old guy who sets his dog on him. That beest bites Nail in the arm and hounts him throgh the end of the street. This song shall be very odd and full of hectic components. 4.) At the doors 6:11 This song is about the weekday of Nail and the way how he sells his vacuum cleaners. 5.) Vacuum cleaner 5:47 This song is about the same-named gadget which is sold by Nail. 6.) Back home 8:41 This song is about the things Nail does when he is coming back home after work. Bonus track: Nail captured in a vacuum cleaner 1:51 A weird dream of Nail in which he is captured in a vacuum cleaner and trying to flee to the outside. In the end, he wakes up and realizes that everything was just a dream*. *This song isn't meant seriously, it's more for fun. I hope you like my ideas... So always remember: HAIL TO THE NAIL!!! |

http://www.deviantart.com/view/4100602/ This was a collaboration between me and my friend koonak. I made the album cover, he made up the song titles. It was made for a hoax band called Sparrow, an imaginary prog rock band, you may see their story and albums at http://sparrowdreams.deviantart.com. A splendid time is guaranteed for all! lol here's the songs: The Edge of Yesterday - ¨One I always wanted to hear with a full orchestra¨

Concept:
The Three Stages of Life. It has three tracks, all about 15-20 minutes. 1. My dad is better than your dad. This is child like and filled with promise. 2. What would you know dad. Teenage rebellion, full of angst and rawk n roll, wild solos and sleeze. 3. As my Father used to say... Romantic, full of nostalga for the good old days. |

I think Trouserpress's is the best. I can totally picture it, having a laid-back, smoothly melodic, sort of drifty atmosphere. Like a 3-hour constantly changing Alan's Psychodelic Breakfast.
