history
Foundation and album Unfortunate Snort
Pinkly Smooth was founded in the summer of 2001 as a side project of the two Avenged Sevenfold members Synyster Gates (Brian Haner Jr.) and The Rev (James Sullivan), who chose the stage name "Rathead" for this band. Synyster Gates played guitar - as with Avenged Sevenfold - and The Rev was responsible for vocals, piano and sometimes drums. Other members were Buck Silverspur ("El Diablo") on bass and Derek Eglit ("Super Loop") on drums. Before that, Silverspur and Eglit were musically active in a band called Ballistico.
Only one album was released, Unfortunate Snort . The former bassist of the band Avenged Sevenfold, Justin Meacham, gives a guest appearance under his stage name Justin Sane as a keyboard player. The genre of music on the album is a mixture of ska , punk rock and avant-garde metal.
Pinkly Smooth was dissolved in 2002.
After the dissolution
Derek Eglit has formed a new heavy metal band, Painted Wives (previously: Railroad to Alaska) since Pinkly Smooth broke up . Synyster Gates is the lead guitarist of the band Avenged Sevenfold and The Rev was also active as a songwriter, drummer, pianist and sometimes as a singer in the band until his death in late 2009. Synyster Gates mentioned in a 2011 interview that he would be remixing and releasing Unfortunate Snort , but there are no concrete plans.
The song Fiction , which The Rev actually thought under the title Death for Pinkly Smooth, was released after his death in 2009 in the 2010 album Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold . Old demo tapes from Pinkly Smooth were used for this.
