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?

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.

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.

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!

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?

Well, actually, only the last two words are Timberlake's. Love, Love me do is the Beatles, and the rest is me.

Damn! That first lyric sounds like Sting...I wanted something REALLY overblown and pretentious. Maybe: "I can smell the flower buds in your eyes," and then go into "I want to do you" over and over. Good? Good?

A Salt Hand Battery:
Don’t you try no flattery
Don’t you pull no salt hand battery
I’m on to your deeds
When they violate our creed
Sign an oath in blood
And all will be good
Don’t want to be emo
Don’t want to cry myself to bed
Don’t want to go slow
Don’t want no idiots in my head
Yeah, take it Fred and a guitar solo comes in
The Whistler drinks his bottle of gin
Decides to start a band
Cause of the liquor in his hand
He’s had to much to drink
Yes he has, I think
Don’t want to be emo
Don’t want to cry myself to bed
Don’t want to go slow
Don’t want no idiots in my head
The Beholden Void:
The Whistler’s fallen in
Because of his gin
To the beholden void
He’s made us so sad
We wanted to do bad
Cause he’s our golden boy
We love him dearly
When he’s not a fool
But if he don’t want no emo
We can’t force it on him
Which really blows
The Whistler Blew His Horn:
The Whistler decided to leave. He is gone. The whistler has left, and he is now gone. He was decidedly for leaving, and being gone, he has now left.
Oompa Loompa:
Instrumental
The Cemented Man:
He had such a place in our hearts
Cemented there through our bonds
But now he is gone
A grim mood has swept the land
As we wave goodbye to the cemented man
Moog-Noob:
Without the moog skills of the whistler
We lost a frontman and gained a moog-noob
Who has no place is the moody noobs
Come back whistler, come back
Please unthrow in the sack
Standing At the Edge:
The Whistler is standing at the edge. He can go either way. Which will he choose? The suspense kills.
Viral Malady B4 The Cure:
Instrumental
Dying Seas:
The band without the whistler
Is drowning very slow
He quite because I suggested
That we be emo
Kings of Speed:
Without a moment gone to waste
The Whistler came back in haste.

Okay, I'll come back. I think I've had a breakthrough!
(D chord) G F#, (D chord) G F#
(C chord) F E, (C chord) F E
(all notes played on top E string)
Of course, since I'm in my kitchen, the guitar won't fit in here, so I'm composing on a uke. Yeah, I discovered Hawaiian spirituality. Let's hope it doesn't tear the band apart. Or something.
UGH! That was SUPPOSED to be a D chord! I...I...I can't work like this! I'm leaving! In the same post I came back in!

How will I deal with this mid-life
Too many crises, too much strife
Cock-Eyed Jim
got squirted in the eyes
And poor Cock-Eyed Jim
It made him go blind
I think you'll find me somewhere
Floating in the air
But only once I'm dead
And altogether without a head
Cock-Eyed Jim
Slipped in a puddle
Of you don't want to know what
That wasn't too subtle
Cock-Eyed Jim
Tend to your flock
They're all running away
At the sight of the rooster cock
Sitting on a park bench
Jerking off while still bent
Snot running down his nose
Boy, he thinks, this really blows
Cock-Eyed Jim
Has nothing to say
He's just been got told
By the time of day

I will now write a song called Up Stile Floors, which is Sir Rolf Lights Up backwards
We go up stile floors
Past the scurrying of mice
Up stile floors
Beyond good advice
Up stile floors
To the doors of paradise

Then I'll insert a solo, to be determined later.

I have a great idea. Lets completely plagiarize unpublished Jethro Tull and make an album, and call it Under Tapped.

Oh...uh, I'm listening to that album right now, and no. Not even us.
Well, at least not right now. Maybe in a few minutes, if some more members mysteriously leave.

One question, Whistler:
Is there a Tull album you dislike?
Hell, is there a Tull SONG you don't like?
And if so, can the Moody Noobs use it?

Meh. Just some moody chords. Didn't really bother to figure out a "tune" for it. I reckon that'll come out in the studio or on stage or wherever. Not my problem.

Er, actually, I meant that Under Wraps was so bad that not even the Noobies should use it.
And, to answer your question, no. There is no Tull song I don't like. And that's a lie, by the way. But I gotta keep up my image, ya know?

But I say Ian is evil...oh well. Then for God's sake, let us sit upon the ground and think of a way to incorporate this thread into my sig. We need...a banner!
What screams m00dy n00bs? And maybe could use the
picture.
Jeffrey is our bass player. At least, he will be, as soon as he learns about the band and, as a result, comes out of retirment.
...It could happen.

We need to get back to writing new material. We've only got one album so far, and it doesn't even have music yet.
We can release some of our stuff as singles, but we need to think about the future. I would rather become a millionair sooner than later.

Hey! What part of "moody chords" didn't you get?
Singles?!? And sell out?!? Never!!! I'd rather starve on the streets!
Now, who's going to help me stick these Pepsi logo stickers on my guitars?

Sorry, can't be our bass player; that's a reserved spot.
However, you can be our organist/drummer. Especially if you play them both at the same time by hitting the keys with your sticks. That would be awesome.

Yes, Whistler-- I'm rather quite sure M00dy N00bs is yours and yours alone. It did occur last night during a conversation with Geck0, but it came from you.

No, I really just meant that you'd play the drums and have the keyboard next to your kit so you could it it. It's rock theatre, remember?
I came up with the name? So...that means I'm the Ian Anderson to this Jethro Tull?!? I'd better re-re-re-join the band.

Yes, due to two wonderful Norwegians bands Hrorfor and Mackerellian (Holy Mackerellian/Return of the Son of Holy Mackerellian).
You stole the idea, but then my idea wasn't original either.
We have Decapitated Walrus anyhow!

Okay, but neither band is capable of crafting anything as endearing as Teenage Ullkland; I think we just need to state that right off the bat.

Well then, on that note, I think I'll take off for the evening.
But, make that part of our banner. The one with Jeffrey. Oh, and maybe some reference to the band.

Well, I'll do my duty, and write some lyrics about it:
Called: Advertising Slogan #1
We are bombastically beautiful
So you don't have to be
Our music and our lyrics
Serve to set you free
From the troubles that grace
The face of your daily life
Marked by trouble, rubble, and strife
We're here to get you past all that
So unless you really, really want to
You don't have to beautiful
Because we'll do it for you

Please tell me you're kidding () about putting me on vocals...
I sing like a broken duck.
So someone else needs to be vocalist.

I cannot be (screech) vocalist
It would hurt so bad
That you would think you had been had
And that wouldn't make you glad
No it would make you rather sad
So don't make me sing
It wouldn't be a good thing
And here's the thing
I don't understand
I'm starting to sound rather bland

Just an issue to bring up, but we need a trademark instrument so that our sound is unique. I suggest the accordion. Does anyone hear play accordion?
Accordion Piece
Does anyone here
Does anyone here
Does anyone here play accordion
We need an accordion player
To play on the accordion
Oh, good, we've got one
