November 7, 200322 yr the perfect band,imo would be a combination of REM, Radiohead, U2, and WilcoĀ what would yours be??
November 7, 200322 yr Our Lady Peace, maybe a little bit of Matt Good Band thrown in, with some Garbage rhythms. :)
November 8, 200322 yr Some hard stuff like Incubus but some mellow acoustic stuff and good song writing and original tunes.
November 8, 200322 yr some muse guitar riffs, deep lyrics like led zep, and some ballads like coldplays :)
November 9, 200322 yr Well, here's my influences and inspirations rolled into one big... thing...Ā catchiness like "The Man Who" and Jump Little Children Acoustic Guitar like Nick Drake Electric Guitar like The Edge piano like Ben Folds (yeah, I wish) Mellow Vocals like Fran Healy Vocal Dynamics like Jimmy Gnecco meets Johnny Rzeznik Falsetto like Jeff Buckley Dynamics like Sigur Ros Versatility like Badly Drawn Boy Simplicity like Coldplay
November 9, 200322 yr I think the thing with bands is to not try and be like anyone but to just let it all flow and try to do something creative. Not that it cant have influences, but that you transcend your influences and create your own identity. Like coldplay, although they have influences from bands like radiohead/u2/bunnyman they do have a definate edge of their own (not as in the guitarist 'the edge' but a metaphorical edge ;) )Ā Anyway regardless of that diatribe my influences in my guitar playing and singing are U2, Powderfinger, Radiohead and The Strokes, and ive been strongly affected by both the experimental attitude of Pink Floyd as well as Coldplays universalism.
November 9, 200322 yr Yeah, there is a huge difference between artists that influence you and artiststs that you want to mimic.
November 9, 200322 yr oh damn no dandy andy in here? welll... our band, chuds, would sound random and hacked up on goofballs. plus, were going to cover some other songs..dunno which ones though...
November 12, 200322 yr A mix of Pete Yorn, Ben Kweller, John Mayer, Coldplay, Third Eye Blind, and Fiction Plane. :huh:
November 15, 200322 yr A mix of Pete Yorn, Ben Kweller, John Mayer, Coldplay, Third Eye Blind, and Fiction Plane. Throw in some Jack Johnson and I'll buy a cd! :D Ā My band would be like Coldplay/REM/Barenaked ladies/The Pillows/Violin rock harmony stuff like "bittersweet symphony" that would be soundin good
November 16, 200322 yr i wouldnt want my band to sound like anyone... i'd want to be so unique that it would be hard to compare us to anyone else
