Band Equations

[Richland123]

An actual equation

The Beatles + The Heartbreakers + Electric Light Orchestra + Dylan + Orbison = The Traveling Wilburys

Lynyrd Skynyrd + Metallica = Raging Slab
raging slab - don't dog me - YouTube

Here's the Stern one..

HOWARD STERN: Lady Gaga's solo piano performance of "The Edge Of Glory" on Howard Stern Show - YouTube

Not impressed but to each their own.

Band/audience ratio rule: If ((# of people in band)/(#of people in audience )) > 1, the gig is over.

 

[Roscoe East]

Band/audience ratio rule: If ((# of people in band)/(#of people in audience )) > 1, the gig is over.

You've never played in an original jazz band, have you?

Grateful Dead - drugs = self-indulgent tedium

 

[colcifer]

Funny thing-I'm young enough to have never listened to the Dead intoxicated and I'm still a big fan. It's just not for everyone.

Nirvana-listener going through puberty=self-indulgent tedium

 

[droo46]

Nirvana - Cobain + coherency = Foo Fighters

 

[ThudThudThud]

ELO+Queen+Beatles=Jellyfish

(Shouting + Pandering to the lowest common denominator)=Nickleback

(Deep Purple-talent) + wasp in a jar = a lot of 80s hair metal bands

Black Sabbath + sophistication + time = Tool

 

[foq1978]

John + Paul + George + Ringo = Beatles
John + Paul/2 + George *2 + Ringo = Kula Shaker

 

[Richland123]

Yes + King Crimson + Jethro Tull = Gentle Giant

 

[Roscoe East]

Yes + King Crimson + Jethro Tull = Gentle Giant

I think I'd modify that equation thusly:

Yes + King Crimson + Jethro Tull - Led Zeppelin = Gentle Giant

 

[colcifer]

Gentle Giant=hella awesome.

Yes=Stravinsky+Inspector Gadget

 

[bassinplace]

Sonic Youth + Yes = Deerhoof

 

[hrbassji]

Iron Maiden + Rush - virtuosity + Emo = Coheed and Cambria

 

[Tituscrow]

The inner workings of a magnificent Swiss timepiece + Jagermeister = Meshuggah

 

[MuzikMan]

Pink Floyd - Roger Waters = Boring

 

[ksandvik]

20 gallons of sticky carpet 'stuff' + 30 gallons of sweat = AC/DC

 

[lowendfriend]

Here's the Stern one..

HOWARD STERN: Lady Gaga's solo piano performance of "The Edge Of Glory" on Howard Stern Show - YouTube

For the win!

Lady GaGa pushes the envelope in total packaging and thus loses lots of folks "in the turns" but her musical talent and skills are superb. Thanks for this link....a stunning live act.

 

[OPBASSMAN1994]

Guitar Master + Bass God + Drum Virtuoso = Rush

Excellent.

 

[ThudThudThud]

Pink Floyd + Echo and the Bunnymen = Radiohead
