Moody Blues est un stand humanoïde qui possède la même taille et la même carrure qu'Abbacchio. Il est vêtu de la tête aux genoux d'un tissu semi-transparente qui s'ouvre entre la base de son cou et son entrejambe (révélant une texture plus claire). Ce tissu se déploie aussi derrière la tête de Moody Blues entre les épaules. Son corps est en vinyle.[1]
Il a une minuterie numérique insérée sur son front et ses yeux ressemblent aux haut-parleurs d'un lecteur de cassette. Ce motif est répété sur les côtés de ses épaules, sur le dos de ses mains et sur ses genoux.
La plupart des médias montrent Moody Blues comme étant blanc et violet.
Dans l'anime,Moody Blues a un effet statique ressemblant à des parasites sur une bande VHS présent sur son corps lorsqu'il est actif, ledit effet devenant plus prononcé lorsqu'il utilise sa capacité. De plus, lorsqu'il est activé et lorsqu'il utilise ses capacités, il émet des sons similaires à la fois à la tonalité de numérotation et au clic de raccrochage d'un téléphone fixe, ainsi qu'au rembobinage d'une cassette VHS.

Abilities
Moody Blues demonstrates a certain level of inherent strength, being able to perform basic rush attacks and outmatch other relatively weak Stands and their Users in direct combat, such as Illuso and his Man in the Mirror. However, its abilities do not lend themselves to fighting, which often leaves Abbacchio overpowered by other offense-based Stand Users. Despite this, Moody Blues' esoteric power makes it useful for a number of outside tasks.
Chronological Rebroadcasting
Moody Blues turning into Narancia from five minutes ago
Moody Blues' primary ability is retrocognition; in particular, the ability to reenact, or "replay" past events with utmost precision, allowing Abbacchio to freely investigate events.[2] Every event happening to a particular location or person will be exactly recreated by Moody Blues, even if it shouldn't happen; for instance, Moody Blues reenacting Narancia's past will produce music because Narancia listened to some.[2] However, there are limits to what Moody Blues can replay, for instance, Clash's teleportation through water is impossible to reenact.[3]
Fast-forwarding a replay
At the same time, the digital timer on Moody Blues' forehead will remain to indicate the point in time it is reenacting.[2] The "replay" can be controlled as if it was a video, thus Abbacchio can accelerate its speed to skip uninteresting events or pause it, allowing people to interact with the paused event if need be.[2][4] The farther away the event is in the past, the more time Moody Blues must spend immobile to reach it. Thus it had to remain defenseless for possibly 8 to 10 minutes because Abbacchio investigated Diavolo's past meeting with Donatella Una on the beaches of Sardinia 15 years ago.[5]
By using a replay, Moody Blues can imitate the form of an individual for a limited time; at one point enabling Abbacchio to pilot a plane from copying the previous motions of the pilot recorded by Moody Blues.[6] The imitation effect of its ability can also be used to disguise Moody Blues, shown when it changed into Abbacchio in order to fool Illuso's Man in the Mirror into dragging it instead of Abbacchio himself into its mirror world.[7]
Since it cannot attack when it is "rebroadcasting", Moody Blues becomes vulnerable.[4] Once finished, however, it can again attack.
Despite not being a Stand suited for combat, in the Vento Aureo PS2 game, Abbacchio can use Moody Blues to record his moves, such as kicks and punches, and rebroadcast them to effectively create attacks and combos for use.
Moody Blues ability may be in reference to the band's album Days of Future Passed, due to it's power to rebroadcast "the past" from the future. The album itself is also notable as a concept album depicting an entire day (from dawn to night) over the songs of the album.
