Are you serious? heres a little scenario for you...theres these guys in an 'amazing band' and they put on a great live show as far as entertaining, they sling their guitars around and sing with passion and emotion their 'honestly written lyrics' and they are way cool and down to earth, which meets your requirements for a great band of course, but when it comes to the music the lead guitarist knows 3 chords which he plays for every song, the drummer is offbeat, and the bassist is playing the pentonic scale, and the rhythm guitarist is randomly hitting strings while moving his fingers to random frets, as a result, the worst sound anyone has ever heard emerges...but they are a great band excluding any effing musical talent.
nice try though.
