Created 'opera rock.'

About Me

The Moody Noobs are an underground band in an underground niche of underground bands. That is, they are an underground internet based progressive band. In layman's terms, they're down pretty deep.
HERE’S WHAT SOME OF PROG ROCK’S BEST HAVE TO SAY AFTER LISTENING TO THE MOODY NOOBS:
Roger Waters: "They really suck, don’t they?"
David Gilmour: "Wow. And I thought Syd was stupid."
John Wetton: "Just kill me now!"
Gary Brooker: (vomitting in bucket)
Brian Eno: "Go to a happy place. Go to a happy place."
Peter Gabriel: "Remember the respect I had for young bands? Me neither."
Robert Fripp: "“Blasphemy!"
Kieth Moon "Why’d you make me listen to this? I’m dead! Go bug Townshead!"
Greg Lake: (covering ears) "OH, WHAT A LUCKY MAN, HE WAS!"
Bill Bruford: "Is that legal?"
Keith Emerson: "I actually think I’m stupider having listened to that."
Ian Anderson: "Some people are good, some mean well...and some are just total jerks."
Jon Anderson: "...Where’s the wolfhounds?"
Steve Howe: "That’s just wrong."
Carl Palmer: "Not enough drum solos!"
Peter Hammilll: "What is that instrument? Are they killing a cat?"
Rick Wakeman: "The timing is all off, the instrumentation is jumbled, the conceptuality is a mess, and there aren’t nearly enough sequin capes!"
Phil Collins: "The Moody Noobs are the greatest band on earth. Now, where’s my check?"

Various things falling out of various other things, friendship, cookies, Cheerios, some crappy little band that you've never heard of, record contracts, those wankers at the studio, cold hard cash, uh, the fans of course. And Satan. Yeah. Satan's pretty important.
Spinal Tap tribute bands, such as:
Sounds Like: 50% world music (but specifically a small section of Nebraska), 50% cowbell, 50% Iron Butterfly ripoffs, 50% beating things with sticks, 50% Eric Clapton (the early, middle, late sort of years...and when he's drunk and is playing a rodent), 50% medieval performers that got shot, 50% "elf-rock," 50% math lessons. Whatever the crap that means.

This song was, if memory servs, one piece of a proposed Moody Noobs conceptual-compilation-cover-album. That was a term of my own invention, by the way. In order to boost the popularity of the band, ...

The Whistler Got Drunk and Fell...on his Head

After a late night of pointless art jamming, the finest beer of the land of the rising sun coursing through my guts, I got up, started walking out of the studio, and slammed into a wall. I think we h...
