About

About Elliott:

"Folk-punk singer/songwriter Elliott Smith rose from indie obscurity to mainstream success in 1997 on the strength of "Miss Misery," his Academy Award-nominated song from the film Good Will Hunting. A native of Portland, OR, Smith began writing and recording his first songs at age 14, later becoming a fixture of the city's thriving music scene; as a member of the band Heatmiser, he debuted in 1993 with the LP Dead Air, issuing his first solo effort Roman Candle on the tiny Cavity Search label a year later ... Smith labored over what was to be his next album, From a Basement on a Hill. He would not live to see its completion, however -- to the shock of friends and fans alike, Smith took his own life on October 21, 2003. The record was released two days shy of the first anniversary of his death." -AllMusic.com


Elliott had a real touching connection with his fans. Sometimes he'd lose his place and even forget his lyrics halfway through. His fans would just cheer him on and sing them back to him


Eventually he'd remember and continue on. There was one concert where he lost his place in a song and couldn't remember where to go, I believe this was one of his last concerts before he killed himself. He clutched his shirt, around where is heart was and struggled to stop himself from looking like a fool, or at least more than he already did. No one thought he was a fool though, they just sang his lyrics back to him until he remembered.


About The Guild:

"It has come to my attention that very few people are educated about the amazing brilliance that is Elliott Smith. This is a saddening fact. I plan on fixing this, if I can. I need all of you, the few who recognize Elliott's genious, to help. The first thing we need to do is create a guild. I will be the captain of this guild, I have experience at managing guilds geared towards musical geniuses. ((I'm Captain of The Official Danny Elfman/ Oingo Boingo Guild))

After this guild is together, we have to gather ourselves up. During this proccess the guild will be set on "private mode."...
However, the first step will take time. We need to get enough money to create this guild."
