let know=no (and then get me another beer plz thx)

― Aaron A., Monday, 18 August 2003 00:23 (twenty-three years ago)

This is a fascinating question.

My view is that they would rock, but not as hard as necessary.

Why? The name indicates speed: this is good. However the name also indicates caution and prudence: this is not good.

Would they rock or would the suck?

Neither. They'd simply restrain.

this band already exists in the future.

I'll be damned.

― Aaron A., Monday, 18 August 2003 00:43 (twenty-three years ago)

Could you alter the future by starting the band, say, next year?

what about if they were named, "THEE Seatbelts"?

or even, "The Seatbelted"?

If there were a band called The Seatbelts
Would they rock or would the suck?

They'd be doomed to die in a car crash because they weren't wearing theirs.

The Seatbelts are a good band. Cowboy Bebop has great music.

― Erick Bieritz (Imbroglio), Monday, 18 August 2003 03:36 (twenty-three years ago)

The Seatbelts would not rock, but they would tour with the Crash Test Dummies.

― Matt Helgeson (Matt Helgeson), Monday, 18 August 2003 16:12 (twenty-three years ago)

They would sing power ballads out of their asses. Sorry, power ballads do not rock, regardless of the orifice of origin.

― dave225 (Dave225), Monday, 18 August 2003 16:30 (twenty-three years ago)

They would sound exactly like Big Star.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 18 August 2003 16:37 (twenty-three years ago)

The Seatbelts would be the Principle Skinner of rock bands.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 18 August 2003 16:40 (twenty-three years ago)

They'd open for the Airbags

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Monday, 18 August 2003 17:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Not Dashboard Confessional?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 18 August 2003 17:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Wait...maybe the Airbags should open...after the Seatbelts tighten up their playing.

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Monday, 18 August 2003 17:40 (twenty-three years ago)

their sophomore album would be called Weltz, and would get them on the cover of Teen People

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 18 August 2003 17:42 (twenty-three years ago)

The headliner could be Jaws of Life.

― dave225 (Dave225), Monday, 18 August 2003 17:42 (twenty-three years ago)

and they can all do covers of DMB's "Crash"

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Monday, 18 August 2003 17:45 (twenty-three years ago)

The Seatbelts = lame garage rawk.
The Seatbelted = awesome.

― NA (Nick A.), Monday, 18 August 2003 17:52 (twenty-three years ago)

the seabells = obscure mid-80s New Zealand led by Sigmund "Zig" Hamish that broke up after recording ep with by Chris Knox that was posthumously released in 1998 on Captain Trip.

― earlnash, Monday, 18 August 2003 18:24 (twenty-three years ago)

Seat - Alt-country/ Indie Jayhawks wannabes.
Belt - Industrial Metal, NIN wannabes.

― dave225 (Dave225), Monday, 18 August 2003 18:41 (twenty-three years ago)

The Seatbelts are better than the Fatal Injuries, but not as much to see live.
