How bands were formed
 

Radiohead:
''Now Thom, you come downstairs and say hello to your friends. NOW!''

I think it has something to do with some kind of boson particle, I don't know.

U2:
"Lets be rebellious and skip youth group this week, eh Bono?" "I don't know Edgey, they might have rice krispy treats, and I'd really like to say a few words about liberation of the proleteriat as a preamble to grace..." "Larry's pulling my hair!" "Look Adam, if you can't beat him in time how are we ever going to find our meaningful purpose and then get all psuedo debauched about it to cash in?"

Phish:


dude.
dude?
dude.

Led Zepplin:

Baby Baby Baby Baby
Weedly weedly wah wah weedly weedly
Baby Baby Baby
I just rolled d12 and fly over the orc's head, cutting off his ear just to warn him. Then we dance and smoke the hash pipe of the lost forest!

The Beatles:

I'm out of speed!
Me too!
They've got tons of cheap speed in Hamburg.
Let's go to there!
We need that Teddyboy drummer, he knows how to use a knife, we can get FREE SPEED!


Sonic Youth:
Fuck the blues.

Burzum:
"Man I feel so happy today. :)"

"I'm bored with art and Osaka, so I've decided to move to NYC and start the 'biggest band in the world',
... even though I can't play an instrument to save my life".

~Yoshiko Ohara, Bloody Panda.

New Order

"See you tomorrow, Ian"

Big Black:
"Hey guys, we really need to do someting about our image!"

the fall- 'mark, if i don't get a uk visa they'll send me back to germany!' 'buy me a pint and you can be my keyboardist/wife' sonic youth- 'i'm getting sick of no wave, i want to do maddonna covers and hang with art gallery owners who will think i'm so real and authentic because of my ripped jeans.'

Dinosaur JR:

'I hate you lou, I hate you J. Shall we form a band?'

Autechre:
"100110101??" "101101011!!!"

Anal Cunt: "Your dad sucks, your wife sucks, you suck, your dog sucks, your ..."

year of the lips: 'i am so very lonely'

Aphex Twin

Richard's friend: Hey, Richard, wanna come play football with us?
Richard: Ahm, no thanks, i think i'll just stay at home trying to get some sound off of this Sinclair ZX81 thingy.
F: Huh, ok then...
*friend walks away*
F: Nerd.

All members of Razorlight walk into a concentration camp and as one have the thought

"Now this is what music should be"

Wilco

John: "Oh man, nobody listens to country anymore..."
Jeff: "Let's make a new band but we won't say it's country so people will buy our records... It will be alt-country"

Boards of Canada

"I had a dream about Waco last night, I think we should make some music out of that dream..."

Nickelback

"MOMMY, MOMMY. LOOK ! MY FIRST POO !"
"Good boy ! That's a very nice poo, we should give it a nickname !"
"NICKELBACK ! NICKELBACK !"

The Mars Volta:
*Omar and Cedric get out of their room with calculators, compasses, ouijda boards, calipers, protractors, Yngwie Malmsteem DVDs, "how to play endless solos" theory book by Michael Angelo Battio, prints of wikipedia pages on obscure chaos theories. Then they take their guitars and microphones.*

See, that sounds quite appealing

It almost makes them sound better than they actually are...

MERZBOW: *flushes his toilet, decides 'this is the sound I've always wanted'*

JANDEK: "HAHA, I can record an instant-album of me moaning over detuned acoustic guitars, with no thought or form put into it at all, and create this mystique about myself and people will buy it forever. Haha. Fuckers!"

AUBE: *tears a piece of paper, decides that tearing a piece of paper for 60 minutes would be a better idea and decides to record it.. this is true*

WOLF EYES: anonymous skronk guy - "Hey, you like Throbbing Gristle? Me too. Let's do a lot of the same stuff they did, but not even 1% as interesting and let's release every single fart we ever record -- we'll be kings!! Kings!! PS: Lathe."
(this goes for tons of noise bands)

HALF JAPANESE: *jad fair picks up guitar for the first time, decides to start a band, band is started that day*
