What story would make a good concept album?

[Burning Star IV]

Just as the title says, fiction or non-fiction. For me, I think the story of The Mad Trapper would make a great concept album.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_Trapper

Besides, I've heard of worse ideas.

[chipdip18]

The Canterbury Tales.

[Naenia]

Was hoping the 'Mad Trapper' would be a classic story of Admiral Ackbar's bravery in the Yuuzhan Vong.
I guess what it actually is could work too though.
My suggestion for a good concept album however is definitely the tale of Admiral Ackbar's bravery in the Yuuzhan Vong ...

Edit: Said album would be called 'The Mad Trapper'

[Jake Denning]

Something to do with Jack The Ripper, or maybe an album from the perspective from someone that fought in Vietnam or WWII

[what_ever]

A guy, who works as a college as a janitor, and at night solves really complex problems on the chalkboard that no one else can do. He also has intense psychological issues and can't decide what to do with his life, and is best friends with Ben Affleck.

Yeah i always thought a war concept would be awesome, its probably been done to death though.

[Cody Nelson]

I know Say Anything touched on it a little bit, and it's probably already been done, but maybe an album from the perspective of a Jew pre-WWII, during the Holocaust, and afterwards?

[hf57]

a mad trapper album could be interesting

[SickOfStars]

You never know what story would make a concept album.

I mean, how many people would ever think "Moby Dick" is a good answer to this question?

I'll tell you who, fucking nobody. That book pops fucking golfballs out its asshole at parties for attention.

....but then look at all the awesome that Mastodon crammed into it.

[redsoxguy676]

interesting that i was just reading an article that says albert johnson might not have been canadian..

[Burn That Shit]

Anne Frank.

[FriendlyFire]

You're all wrong, what we need is a concept screamo album about Thomas the Tank Engine where Henry the Green Engine is framed for a triple homicide.

I think Boys Night Out did that already?

[oddwithoutend]

donnie darko

think about it.

[FriendlyFire]

think about it.

No, we got it the first time. Parallel universes, time travel, bunnies, Drew Barrymore pretending that she knows a fucking thing about linguistics.

My friend said the band whitechapel wrote their first ep about jack the ripper or something.
Keeping with the theme of serial killers, i really liked the Drop Dead, Gorgeous- Worse Than a Fairy tale. The story actually made sense.

Perhaps an album about the adventures of Wraith Squadron posing aboard The Night Caller?

[chipdip18]

The Post-Rock band i'm in is trying to tackle The Divine Comedy by Dante. Would be sick if we could nail it. We got Inferno and Pugatorio down alright, Paradiso is hard though.

[llwilliamsll]

The Bible. I want a concept album to cover the whole fucking thing. None of that scattered around stuff.

[KarolaBloch]

The Notebook would be pretty good for a folkish album I think.

I would listen to that album. That would be so hard to do.

hahaha

How about the movie The Butterfly Effect??

[oddwithoutend]

I agree.

that's a pretty good idea too

[llwilliamsll]

Hell yeah, but I bet the song(s) covering Revelations and any war/battle would be pretty sweet.

[handlikesecret]

agreed, that'd be an amazing feat.

I think only a Post-Rock group could do it sufficiently.

or Angels and Airwaves.

lulz.

Our world could only get worse if AVA covered the Bible.

You should start writing your Oscar-winning speech already, you know.

[fly_guy]

A dad and his daughter go to a circus in Iran. It's a grand time, balloons everywhere, animals doing tricks. Just a jolly time.

BANG! Suicide bomber. They're all dead

I figure I'll just totally plagiarize someone else's.

Don't give Bring Me the Horizon anything to growl/chug about.

Stephen Kings IT.

That movie scared me so much.
But I'd like to see that done.

The movie is one of the funniest i've ever seen.

"Hiyaaaaa Georgie" haha

[Jumpoff]

Moby Dick

[sweepthenation]

The Alchemist

[chipdip18]

Some make a concept album about Pokemon.

edit: It would be a punk album, and chorus would chant "Chaaaaaaaaaaariiiiizard! Fire BLLLLAAAST!"

[sweepthenation]

Or The Symposium. That would be epic beyond all belief.

[MADSTA]

The movie is one of the funniest i've ever seen.

"Hiyaaaaa Georgie" haha
My friends and I watched it one fateful night in fifth grade. For the longest time we looked for It 2 because we didn't realize the second bit of the movie was just after the credits of the first one.

[MADSTA]

The Alchemist
YES. Loved that book.

[mattmatumbo]

House of Leaves or the Arabian Nights
