If your favorite contains backing vocals, go with whatever feels right in terms of 'they are just as important as the main vocalist' or 'they are functionally another backing instrument like the guitarist or drummer.'
I know that the musicians are in fact just as important as the vocalist (obvious example: the guitar solos in classic rock, like Queen), but hopefully you get what I'm going for here.
#music#gender#bands#phoenix polls#inspiration for this is that a few years ago I saw a music video. it was Cake by the Ocean from DNCE. by all appearances a very normal thin#Except they had a female guitarist. despite having a male vocalist. and it struck me how strange that was#I'm used to either all-same-gender OR female vocalist w/ male bandmates (e.g. Paramore)#Or bands that don't really feel like bands. more like small orchestras. like Gogol Bordello or Goran Bregovic's Wedding and Funeral Band#anyway it's going to be fun to see what comes up here#I'm expecting mostly all-same-gender with a few fem voc/male mus

Had a little thought, that as Eddie gains weight it gets harder for him to play guitar and he has to figure out a way to angle it right without messing up his fretting wrist. He'd have to experiment with holding it different ways, maybe plays sitting down more and more. He asks Freak for advice but that only works up until Eddie becomes the biggest guy in the band...
Steve keeps offering suggestions, trying to help, but he knows extremely little about instruments in general and even less about guitars specifically, except for what he's picked up from Eddie by osmosis.
Every once in a while Eddie will sigh and float the idea of trying to lose some weight, or at least slow down a bit... But he usually has a snack in his hand while saying it, taking bites in between sentences, so that's not terribly likely. Boy likes his food.
Permanent tag list, sorry I've been pinging y'all so often the past couple days but I'm on a roll I guess: @hotluncheddie @tangerinesteve @sofadofax @lawrencebshoggoth
#wg steddie#chubby eddie munson#i'm in the same boat as steve...#except for the dating a guitarist part#so i know even less but at least i have google lol

absolutely a joy to have to employ fan oc marketing methods on mimi and gsaslau to at least get some more people interested somewhat like theyre a garnish to a dish and makes the menu more appealing what if this restaurant serves a full course meal with them as them as the main ingredient then id go out of business 'wrong establishment' oh sorry yeah this is a gas station. definitely not a hell when a character is free for anyone to mold and also anyones oc and the majority likes the general consensus which is that the character is a whore or a lazily designed zombie skeleton without enough gore to it and youre stuck being ignored or stoned to death in public when you see them as an autistic inhuman beast rotting and bleeding all over the floor spreading their ash in the same air as the mist they try to hide themself with and is a walking transgender allegory dragging itself across the dirt yeah i have no quips with that
#kommento#// how could you look at iznmi like that and go 'yeah lets boil it down to this' i am tearing you asunder with my mind#// man you guys couldve boiled it down to something else but i forgot the nature of man. runs to mimis robes and starts crying into them#// mamiya shotaro i miss you can you come back for p4live action remake please. pleae. can you show these clowns#// theres a great reason why all of iznmis actors are guys except one and she voiced baiken guiltygear and a lesbian biker band guitarist#// honestnly this is just my equivalent of naoto gender discourse just more niche can you believe it#// guys thsi is my oc i took when atIus orphaned them its an autistic animal and i taught it how to be mortal and human and its experiencin#// 2365 levels of body dysphoria now. it will be prescribed antidepressants once it gets a checkup but for now the world is falling apart

front woman kanoka,,, do you see my vision.
#crop top baggy jeans etc.#i'm having more thoughts abt a band au w her and iwa#i know i said sakusa was in their band but i actually might swap him for tanaka. and then make the top five aces another band.#anyway so my lineup is: kanoka (singer) iwa (bassist) kyoutani (guitarist?) tanaka (drummer?)#or swap kyou and tanaka bc i can also see kyoutani as a drummer?? and tbh that was my first thought...#having a dilemma.#i want tanaka in the band bc i like him being the one who pulled kanoka in#and i want kyoutani bc i have rlly gotten into the idea of him doing kanoka's eyeliner for shows#like i do not think she ordinarily wears makeup but she does kinda like wearing eyeliner for shows. except she's bad at applying it.#so kyoutani does it!#OH iwa also sings sometimes too i think... bc i just think he should.#what if i rlly had fun with this and made it a kanokiyo au.

Also the king woman version of i wanna be adored which is so sex playlist core but i dont even know if it counts as like a solo or anything. I feel like im bending a lot of definitions. But i also left out cause it definitely doesnt count bc its a cover. Oh yeah ok elaborating on my reservations about lengths of solos: i think stuff like improvised blues soloing has the right to go on as long as it wants. For recorded work its about what exactly youre trying to say and how best you can say it and the music i like usually says these kinds of things succinctly. If it rambles it needs to know why its rambling. In conclusion sorry i talk about music like its some kind of wizard ability. Music theory is only my faint acquaintance and i dont remember what it looks like
#in general guitarists in service of the word rather than their own technical ability#word like. message. Idk why i said word its not like these guys are writing the Bible. except for manic street preachers because they are

i love that i have chiyo on one hand who, in her own canon, has kissed a total of one boy and proceeds to never do it again until she's well into adulthood bc kissing means having feelings and having feelings is scary. and then i have rin who probably can't count how many people she's kissed, and the only reason she hasn't kissed anybody else recently is bc, y'know, there's a war and she's been kinda busy ( but don't worry -- she's gonna hit the tavern and get smooched if it's the last thing she does ). just what a spectrum here asdf
#thinking about arata too bc i love him and miss writing my silly bass guitarist <3#he's kissed less people than he'll admit but dude probably?? stays in relationships that tend to fizzle out eventually#bc of his focus on his band#meanwhile his sister akane is like ' i'll date when i'm not so busy okay ' and when is that?? never so pls just date people asdf#makiko is in a similar boat to chiyo except she's dated a bit more?#her thing is just that she tends to be pressured into dating and isn't into it#so the amount of people she's properly kissed is pretty low bc she has a hard time discerning when platonic love shifts into romantic love#y'all lemme stop rambling oh my gosh i'm gonna get back to writing asdfg#get ready to ramble | ooc

okay but imagine a screamo band group but the lead singer looks nothing like the expectations.
like the lead singer has tanned skin, wears bows at every show, dresses in pink or pastel colors, always dresses, always tall heels, glittery makeup, and she skips and twirls on stage.
now she either screams about the most adorable things like cute bunnies and flowers and romance and stuff. or she sings about the most horrid things known to mankind and scares the shit out of people while giving you that adorable innocent smile and cute little wave
it drives the fans absolutely mad
#and her fiance is your typical combo rocker/emo girl who wears demonias and a ton of makeup and black clothes and band shirts#with the fluffy black hair and chains and stuff and she sometimes gets dragged onstage by main singer and the fans love it#and the rest of the band is just the usual hardcore screamo aesthetic except for the main singer who is just sunshine and rainbows#OR THE ENTIRE BAND IS LIKE ALL PINK AND STUFF#AND THE LEAD GUITARIST JACK WEARS ONE OF THOSE SUPER POOFY PRINCESS SKIRTS#AND THE OTHER DUDE GREG WEARS A CORSET AND SHORT SKIRT AND THIGH HIGHS#AND THEIR CONCERTS (ethically) RELEASE BUTTERFLIES AND SHIT#just a wild idea#i want to read something like this

sometimes i think about the whole "i want to look pretty but in a boy way" thing and my brain just get fuzzy like when old tv don't have a good signal
#but also hear me out#exist trace members are all girls but most of them look exactly like this#the exception is the rhythm guitarist she's the only one who dressed traditionally feminine there#so it's actually achievable for anyone who wanna look like that#you just need to take note on what kind of features these pretty boys style emphasis on#and follow along that direction#but yeah gnc fashion is interesting#tmi tag
