Make a super-group that you think could go against the devil in a rock-off and win. Include what bands they're with, in case someone doesn't know them by their name. (Tenacious D inspired? Yes)
Make your band as big or small as you want.

Fidoll, I can't agree with the drummer for Mastodon. I like the rest of your band, but given the kind of slower sound you would get from Claudio and Gilmour, I think he's entirely the wrong choice. But I like your line up.
What about Mike Kinsella (American Football, Joan of Arc, Owen, Cap'n Jazz)?Quote:

Putting Gilmour on rhythm guitar is fucking retarded. He's a lead guitarist. If he isn't in your band to play lead, don't put him in your band. What a fucking waste.Quote:

Gilmour played rhythm and lead guitar when under Pink Floyd.Quote:

It's like in Coheed & Cambria.Quote:

I guess what really offended me about it was that you put Pink Floyd members into "supergroups" with the likes of Coheed & Cambria and whatever other emo music you listen to.
You think Coheed is emo...how cute :rolleyes:Quote:

Okay the whole "concept band" idea is I guess new and innovative and some of the music and story isn't horrible and whatnot but lets go ahead and recognize right now that without pioneers like The Beatles and Pink Floyd, the concept album is a meaningless term, much less the "concept band."
Go read a graphic novel.
Well since coheed acknowledges these bands as their influences they never did claim to invent it.Quote:

All I'm saying is that just because an emo band rips off Rush a lot doesn't mean they're not emo.
And all I'm asking you to do is prove to me that Coheed is emo by providing some fucking evidence.Quote:

Ok, you've never read or heard any emo lyrics in your life ever.
Fair enough. Nevermind.
Exactly. Coheed =/= emoQuote:

By considering them emo, you'd have to consider Jack Johnson emo. Or Blondie emo. Your loose classification is very bizarre and doesn't seem very well thought out.
It's all in the intent.
Well I mean Jack Johnson is pretty emo
No Jack Johnson is a Hawaiian faggot there's a difference okay
Hawaiian faggot emo just sayin
Didn't VH1 try something like this and fail horribly.
VH1 fails at everything except Popup Video
Pop in to POP UP VIDEO.
They did some good stuff to the videos from the 80s, you have to admit.
I used to get my useless trivia from that show.
Jack Johnson sounds the same in all respects.
I would do anything for love... but I won't do that. No I won't do that.
Coheed sings about a story that doesn't make any sense because Claudio keeps changing it, so no they are not emo.

I'm not really arguing as much as I am just stating
I'm not going to deny my argument was bad, but honestly how do you defend a group from being called 'emo' (minus that fact that they say they're not emo), when there's not even a clear understanding of what "Emo" music is?
No bands have ever really admitted to being emo. My Chemical Romance defended the term after the Daily Mail went on the rampage once but that's it.Quote:

Still, they have some very emo songs (a favour house atlantic), use emo themes (no, not just emo themes) and sound like a few other 'emo' bands out there. Plus they're ridiculously over rated by their fans which is usually a sign that a band is emo (or Metallica).

Hawthorne Heights are not a band, they're AIDS.
And yes, the last part was a bit of a joke.
The Beatles are really the first emo band.
"I want to hold your hand".
Really? Fuck off. Simplistic, over-emotional bullshit.
"Why don't we do it in the road".
Why don't you... And get hit by a semi. Fucking retards.
It must be fun being one of your friends.
I like to think so.
Well Claudio as your lead is not smart. He's good but he's good because he also happens to be the creative force behind CoCa, sings and plays; kinda like Erak from the Fall of Troy.
Bad example, but that popped into my head.
This one is easy.
Vocals-Maynard James Keenan
Bass/Strings-Paz Lenchantin
Lead Guitar-Billy Howerdel
Backup Guitar-Danny Lohner
Drums-Josh Freese
It's not that hard when the work has already been done for you.
As for an original djwolford production.....
Vocals-Amy Lee
Bass-Justin Chancellor
Lead Guitar-John Frusciante
Violin-Saul Davies
Drums-Danny Carey
It's a strange combination that would either fail miserably or be the greatest thing ever heard.
No, that wasn't exactly a bad example.Quote:
