does lyle want to hear only the scariest possible lyrics?

Isn't that kind of the idea? I would pretty much have the exact same thoughts if I played bass for a metal band.

Agreed. Lyle fully understands the bassist's role.

Not if he wants to play more than one note... keeping time in the key of B is his primary function in Mister Band

The Achewood Continuity Police, Musical Notation Division, congratulate and chubby you for noticing it is the same note as before.

This strip always reminds me of School of Rock, which also has an instance where the bassist is only allowed to play G.

a metal band with a serial killer for a frontman

that is pretty metal...

brutal

It is NOT metal, just good music, played well by men.

I dunno, I think it's pretty scary for a thief to steal boiled king eyes. What's he gonna do with 'em? Somethin' mysterious, I bet.

a dylan tribute.

stolen by a thief, baby

he says it like it's such a plot twist

It totally is though.

How did the thief get into the kitchen?
Why was the lord being boiled with his beef?
Is this related to the demon larvae?

We'll never know.

Necrofrost

That's a hell of a domain name they have there... myrrthronth.

So it is. I guess we can at least be thankful they haven't chosen one of the logos that look like Cthulhu's weirdly symmetrical nose-pickings

This made me laugh harder than the comic itself.

I would add Mortification to your list. Because the people should know .

Oh hell heaven, yes, Mortification. Great damn name for a Christian Death/Grind band. Right up there with Christian doom band Place of Skulls.

Place of Skulls are pretty rad if you like doom. Its easy to see why pretty much everyone else thinks they are a joke, though.

Eff yeah, they are. I genuinely think that's a bad ass name for a Christian metal band. Frikkin' Wino played guitar with them for a bit!

That dude had some straight-up chops.

Those would be very useful as vision tests. Eye charts for black metal vision.
Perhaps I can get a prescription for black, black sunglasses that would allow me to read most of those logos.

What the hell, most of those are completely unreadable. What's the point of even having a logo then?

I think of them as something like a secret code. Like the early Christians are said to draw a fish in the sand. Most of them aren't legible, no, but the best of them are recognizable to fans.

Also, I think some of them look pretty bad-ass, in the over-the-top way of so much metal.

nice pete springing anywhere is the scariest thing possible

jeepers creepers
where'd you get those
EYES

Can't you...SEE?

Yeah, speaking purely as a dude who dicks around on the bass, I'd be really pissed off if the shitty lead singer of a band I was in only allowed me to play one note. It would seem to confirm Teodor's "high functioning generalization" about bassists to everyone listening/watching.

This is one of my absolute favorites. I once played bass for a control-freak singer/guitarist who had a middle-school-esque idea of everything involving love and it always ended up referring to Romeo and Juliet in some way. You could feel my blood boil from the back of the room.

a song is no place to comment on shakespeare.

no place.

Nonsense!

That made so little sense that I can't tell if you're joking or completely illiterate, so I'm chubbying you.

Some even got on the mayor!

If your loins are haunted, you should probably douche more thoroughly.

, anyone?

Nice Pete is throwin' it up, son. Just look at that hand.

Please put your hand in the same position Nice Pete has in Panel 5. This is not a very rock and roll pose. Not at all.

Unless he's a little tea pot.

Short and Stout.
