Posting in The Pillows section, cause it features Sawao. And I remember a few Predators threads in here. Anyway, if it needs to be moved to Music, then so be it.

[blatantly stealing from CHEMICAL BUMP's post on Moletown, all credit goes to him]

And I'll say what I said in the Moletown thread:
I haven't heard the UNDER THE COUNTER guy's voice...but I really think this band would benefit from having a vocalist other than Yoko. Or Sawao. Don't get me wrong, I like Yoko's voice...but she's just a little limited. She has a very pleasant, low-key, airy voice. And Sawao would just make me think "pillows, but with a different sound".

Three guitarists and no bassist? Stupid.

Don't you think that judging music solely by the instruments that are being played is also stupid?

CHEMICAL BUMP predicts that they'll probably just get Jun to do bass.

I'm not judging the music, I'm judging the dumb idea to have three guitarists and no bassist.

this is just going to be another sad attempt for Sawao to have a life outside of the pillows and again, fail. this is going to be especially true since yoko is in the band. he should have just stuck with the sawao yamanaka band/experience.


...yoko looks really fat in that picture.

Dissing on The Predators & Sawao's solo work.
Dissing on Yoko.
Double posting.

The hole you dig for yourself is deep.
+Screw GLAY, but I've got nothing bad to say about Jiro.

Well, if any part of any band is expendable, my vote goes toward the bassist. Three guitars can also open up a potential that bands with only two or one fail to have. Band chemistry is much more important than what instruments they decide to play. I think any predictions made at this point as to the intelligence of the combination will be inevitably lacking in evidence.

Samples of UNDER THE COUNTER stuff for those interested:

Yeah, semi-interested? Probably will end up going the way of PREDATORS though.

Thanks for the links, Shenlong. I don't have time to watch the entire videos now, but...

I'm gonna guess Sawao started The Bumps, cause of all of the Delicious Label presence. The guy from UNDER THE COUNTER most likely probably got picked up cause of his Cyclone usage.

Damn, I swear, half the time when I open the thread I think I'm getting the finger.
