Band Equations

[RPSully]

(Post Rock +Zombie Apocalypse + It's a Small World After All)*awesome^2/Scandanavian Emo = Mew's ...And The Glass Handed Kites

 

[fmoore200]

Horse the Band = Tool - patience

 

[mongo2]

Grateful Dead = Jug Band x LSD^2

 

[Roscoe East]

While perusing old TB archives I once came across a post where someone essentially said
Percy Jones - Jaco Pastorius = Mick Karn
That always struck me as insightful and spot on.

 

[tdub0199]

2 x (8-string guitars) + 1 x (drums) + 0 x (bass) = Animals as Leaders

+1

 

[Roscoe East]

Steve Gadd - a human soul = Dave Weckl

 

[Sixpack324]

1....... (Thin Lizzy + Queensryche)-Afro = Iron Maiden



2........ If Rush - Soul = Dream Theater.....

Then...

(Dream Theater - Talent) + Soul = Phish








Oh......and as fundamental as 2+2=4....

(Canadian - talent^10) - taste = Jack White

 

[simmerdown]

Radiohead - originality + neon - 1 drummer + douche-ness (x2) = coldplay

 

[Eric Perry]

Alice in Chains + Suck button = Creed

Hehe

 

[Duckwater]

David Bowie - Talent + Autotune = Lady Gaga

 

[MarTONEbass]

Pixies + Heroin = Nirvana

 

[Faderoktopus]

Cher + Autotune = 98% of recent Grammy winners
Alice in Chains + Suck button = Creed
Beatles + Ego + coke = Oasis

I'm not going to even try and top this one. Bravo.

[JDHayes]

Incubus - Alex Katunich = Suck

 

[s_mcsleazy]

boring alternative rock + chewing a marsbar = nickleback

 

[Eric Perry]

David Bowie - Talent + Autotune = Lady Gaga

Are you suggesting Gaga uses / needs autotune? She's got an amazing voice.

 

[colcifer]

Steve Gadd - a human soul = Dave Weckl

My saying about drummers: There are good drummers, there are great drummers, and then there's Vinnie Colaiuta.

But so far as mortals go: Bruford>White (no matter how many times you divide by zero)

Are you suggesting Gaga uses / needs autotune? She's got an amazing voice.

How should we know? There's so much processing on vocal tracks now!

I have seen videos of her singing and she is good, but the presence of autotune (probably just standard pitch correction actually) is quite apparent in her recorded music, it is subtle compared to many other artists though.

There are plenty of live tracks out there of her. Pretty amazing, IMO. There's one of her on the Stern show, just playing piano and singing that I thought displayed one hell of a voice.

Here's the Stern one..
