Topic: The M00dy N00bs Posted: November 03 2006 at 23:52 |
WANTED: A bunch of pretentious b*****ds to form band. Must have creative differences and inability to work with one another for more than two albums in a row.
Sometime, late last night, I was involved in the creation of the Moody Noobs...or possibly the Nooby Blues...or maybe the Knights in White Satin, I don't quite recall.
Anyway, I have now consumed enough liquor to create this: the official thread of the prog archive's unofficial band. Naturally, since we're grounded in all corners of the globe, we'd come in here to discuss our epic (whatever that will be), before perenially going our seperate ways and recording solo.
I am, in fact, an average guitarist who writes crumby psychodelic folk songs from time to time. HOWEVER, for the band, I am willing to claim to be a classical virtuosso with the ability to simply crap out stuff like Still...You Turn Me On on a regular basis. Who else is in?
And does this make any sense in the context?

Is it listed on mapquest?
I could write lyrics, and bad ones I could churn out on a regular basis.

Damnit guys! This thread has been opened for a whole of ten minutes, and we still haven't developed a style!
I recommend Heavy Wood.

Kick ass! Think of something I could play D, G, A7, D to endlessly, and we'll see how long we can keep it up before someone notices...

I agree, Heavy Wood. We all need to get some timber and bang it together. That will be the trademark feature of the band’s style.

well as your roadie/embezzler/pimp, I think your 'Wanted- Looking for musicians..' wouldn't be a bad theme; an album about the troubled formation of a doomed band- like Sgt. Pepper's meets TaaB.

I was once at a resteraunt, and I pushed back my chair, creating a grating skreeching noise.
"Aha!" said I. "This'll be perfect for my new prog album! I'll drag this chair across the floor for seventeen minutes!"
By the way, Australian...what's your role in The Moody Noobs? Are you just our official timber banger? Or will you bake cookies when you're over at your place?

We need a name along the same vein as Jethro Tull. How about 4 field rotation system...
or maybe just the M00dy N00bs

I don't have googleearth. I guess I'll just have to drive, even though that would be illegal and impossible. Of course, if we're a band, you guys could buy me a private jet and a pilot and a lifetime of gas so that I can fly it down the block to see my neighbors.
In relation to the Whistler's comment, I am strongly opposed to Heavy Wood. It doesn't float nearly as well on as light wood.
I suggest we steal Justin Timberlake songs and pass them off as our own. Their so bad that he probably won't want to own up that he owns the rights to them. Then we could be popular.
Here are the lyrics for our first radio hit:
You are so beautiful
I want you so bad, I do
I absolutely need you
I want to be had by you
So love, love me do
And keep it on the track
Cause we've got to bring sexyback.

Yes, big chocolate-chip cookies
I'll be the Martian Barre of the band, playing electric guitar at inconvenient moments. We can use the timber in the backyard for percussion.

For a name, we could be We're With Stupid.
Or Irwin and the Rays, but that might not go over well.

By the way, Australian, if you want to be part of our group, you need to get rid of that awful avatar. Everyone knows that giraffes have four legs and never fall down.

Okay, our first album has to be a concept album...it has to be THE concept album...
UGH! That's genius! We'll make a concept album about MAKING a CONCEPT ALBUM!!!
Now, before we make any lyrics or music, let's think about the album cover! If it looks cool enough, it'll make up for everything else!

No way, I’ve had this avatar for 4 months. I’ll keep it until I find a Kangaroo falling over or a Kola falling out of a tree.
I'm the original member

OH! Those are HIS lyrics! For a moment there, I was thinking, "Gosh! He's GOOD at writing crappy poppy empty lyrics."

Okay, the album is about how a rocker named Tommy Pink is trying to write an album about a band called Jemerson, Bake and Fallow trying to write an album about a band called Jethro No.
After a while, we'll burn through so many band names, that the last band will be trying to write a concept album about a band called the Nooby Blues, or whatever we're called, and it will hit full circle. See? See?
