GULL GIVES NEW MEANING TO THE PHRASE “ONE MAN BAND”
Friday, October 9th, 2009 at 11:30am by Axl RosenbergMetalSucks Maniac The Ghost of D. Boon e-mailed us in response to that video we posted yesterday of Steel Panther guitarist Satchel playing drums while taking a guitar solo to make sure we knew about Gull… and we didn’t. So thanks, Ghost!
Gull is a one-man project from Richmond, VA who not only plays guitar and drums simultaneously (and wwwaaayyy better than Satchel), but also sings! Ghost says that mask he’s wearing has a mic in it, which is hooked up to reverb pedal. Check it out:
You can get more info on Gull here.
And while we’re talking about one man bands… this suddenly got me thinking about Corn Mo, this dude I used to see play local clubs and bars here in New York from time to time. He’s not really metal, but he used to host gigs for metal cover bands and obviously has some knowledge of metal, so it seemed worth posting. Plus, if you’re drunk enough, he can be fun to watch live. Check out the drum stick coming out of his pants!
Here’s Corn Mo, both doing his solo thing and playing with Gary Suarez’s hero, Andrew WK:

You want a one man band? I give you the best of the best….Groundskeeper-Fucking-Willie!

did he really need to repeat it for three minutes
im impressed
this is sick. he reminds me of Battles.
speaking of which, when their next album!!?!
im curious if any other metalheads listen to Battles
Battles are awesome and have members of Helmet and Don Caballero! Fucking amazingly original band!
That was pretty fucking great.
Here’s another, albeit less impressive guy (he programs drums instead of playing them live)

Pretty cool…in small doses I suppose.
if we’re gonna talk about one man bands, how can you leave out bob log 3?

Is it just me, or does this sound pre-recorded and dubbed? Just asking.

heh, he was awesome. dug the mask too!!! would kill to see him live!
Here comes another wave!!! If he would keep his mouth shut this wouldn’t be half bad. Why not find another guy to chip in?
Wouldn’t that kind of defeat the purpose?
Corn Mo has also been known, on occasion, to fill in for Sean Greenhalgh as “Axl Rose” in Mr. Brownstone, the world’s greatest Guns N’ Roses tribute band.
