Pinkly Smooth was a collaborative side project of members of Avenged Sevenfold and Ballistico. The line-up was as follows:
Vocals, Piano, Drums: Rat Head ('The Reverend', Avenged Sevenfold)
Guitar: Synyster Gates (Avenged Sevenfold)
Keyboards, Piano: Justin Sane (Avenged Sevenfold)
Bass: El Diablo ('Buck Silverspur', Ballistico)
Drums: Super Loop ('D Rock', Ballistico)
Pinkly Smooth incorporate frantically-delivered lyrics about blood, resurrection and funerals into songs which take inspiration from sources such as circus music, Queen, and a bevy of classic metal bands. The result is a strange but compelling mixture of Danny Elfman-esque piano lines, screaming guitar lines and vocal acrobatics. Deranged, fun, progressive and slightly disturbing.
Pinkly Smooth have released one album, 2002's "Unfortunate Snort". The band was put on hiatus after a few live shows due to the success of Avenged Sevenfold & the desire to write a new album, but the band sadly never returned due to Jimmy’s passing on December 28th of 2009.
