“WELCOME TO MOSH EISLEY”
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009 at 2:30pm by Axl Rosenberg
In theory, I should hate a band that has adopted the gimmick of being completely Star Wars-themed, but I’m a Star Wars dork and have enjoyed Buckethead’s renditions of John Williams’ awesome score many times in the past. So I’m gonna give a free pass to the UK’s Anchorhead, who not only do metal versions of Wiliams’ music, but apparently play dressed as various Star Wars characters. Seriously. Take a look:
Actually, the Greed0 bassist looks like it might be a Photoshop job, but for the sake of fun, I’m just gonna go with it for now.
I’m sure this shit gets real old real quick, but it amuses me just enough that I might try to make it through an entire live show if the band ever makes it to the states… as long as there no Jar Jar Drummer.

Thanks to Cooper Stapleton for the tip!
best title evar!!!!11
As long as these guys don’t rap, play country, or or crab crouch, they are alright with me.
I just hope they have a big blue elephant that plays the keyboard.
and a jazzy instrumental break with skelatal-fish men
My life is fucking complete… as long as they do a cover of the Mos(h) Eisley cantina theme…
I want.
dude.. this was already done by Twin Sister … and much better I might add
Dude. Go look up zuckuss. A starwars themed pornogrind band.
This got me thinking… how many amazing metal band names can be provided by Star Wars? The list is endless… WeeQuay, Bossk, The Master’s Sail Barge, etc
Haha. I don’t think any could top the awesomness that is zuckuss. “titfucked by tauntaun” is just godly.
Wow…. that takes a special level of humor and vulgarity to come up with something like that. Any links?

How about “Forest Moon of Endor” or “Kashyyyk” for a stoner\doom band? Or “Butcher of Mos Eisley” for a grind outfit? Here’s a no-brainer “Rogue One”! “Palpatine’s Fall” I literally could come up with thousands of these.
I always thought Hoth would be a good name for an ambient doom band
I’m so happy I get most of these references… looks like I’m not slipping too much in my old age.
Also, am i the only one imagining Sean Connery saying “Mosh Eishely?”
+1
me and my friends constantly rip on Sean Connery.
can’t deny that man’s awesomeness though.(and his beard)
HAHAHAHA… I am now.
Yep, Gredo’s definately shooped, but its still pretty rad.
I am absolutely checking out this band.
This is ancient and awesome.
The youtube videos I’ve watched are amazing. Metalsucks, I forgive you for hiring Gary Suarez
Agreed.

Way better band name, and this has been around since 2000 or so… although no recordings posted. Lazy
thanks for posting this guys, i thought you might enjoy it
Greedo looks like Tom Morello, on bass. And I have been watching these movies nonstop for days, and developed an unhealthy obsession with Wookieepedia. In the last week I’ve immersed myself in Star Wars more than anyone should.
bobba fett guitarist is pretty B-A i must admit…
this is SOOOOOO 2006…. but whatever, its still awesome
My vote for best name for a StarWars themed metal act…Grand Moff Tarkin.
Come on, the guy told fucking Vader what to do!!!
Sorry man, Star Trek themed bands are where it’s at these days.
Fuck you.
no.
I discovered these guys a while back when I was musing about how awesome it would be if Powerglove or some other similarly talented band were to do a Star Wars themed record. I was rather disappointed that there weren’t more Star Wars bands out there considering how popular “wizard rock” is. The fact that these guys list Cynic as one of their influences is enough to really make me want to hear more, although they add vocals, which might ruin some of the effect for me. Still, I can’t wait until they have an actual album.

I checked out the band’s MySpace…not bad. Shredisode IV at the 2:40 mark made me fucking cry.
