I'll post some pictures of various musicians and bands, and you get to guess who they are. When all of them have been correctly guessed (not necessarily by one person), somebody else gets to post some more pictures. Do at least five, and try not to make them too obvious. Let's see how well this works...

2: http://sydneyfestival.org.au/images/photos/large/52.jpg

3: This picture is way too big so...

6: http://www.mtv.com/shared/media/news/images/p/Pygmy_Love_Circus/sq_plc_press04_gk.jpg

Only one I know is number 4, which is Lostprophets....

Number 2 is Slug from Atmosphere.

Jean Grae, Lost Prophets, X-Ecutioners, PLC.

The big linked pic was sort of too big to really look at.

-AC

All correct so far... I apologize for the size of the linked pic, it was the only one I could find of the band that didn't have their name on it and where it was easy to distinguish all of their faces.

This thread's going to get ugly, lol.

Could you do a different one for #3, it takes hours to load on my computer.

Tell yeh what, I'll do some photoshopping.

isnt it a bit of a give away when you use IMG tags...given that a right click and "view image" gives the images name which usually includes the band name

I'm not postitive, but is that Lamb of God?

AC> Yes, it is.

jaden> Obviously that's the case, but you'd assume that people wouldn't cheat, since that'd be a bit boring unless you were a five-year-old with a superiority complex.

I didn't get Slug from Atmosphere coz I remember him having light skin and fair-ish hair. The close up sort of threw me off.

-AC

as the guy from lock stock said..."assumption is the brother of all **** ups"

That's a cute trick, taking the part of the sentence that mattered least. The most important part being:

"...since that'd be a bit boring unless you were a five-year-old with a superiority complex."

Besides which, how would you suggest running this? There's no way to do it without either showing the names or downloading them all, renaming them, and uploading them. I'm not going to do that because that would mean, well... Downloading, renaming, and uploading every single one in a different post.

Now somebody else post some pics

Okey dokey, heres s'more, but I image shacked em, thereby eliminating the image name problem. Although 4, 6 & 7 will be pretty easy for most people anyway.

Don't take this the wrong way, but do you honestly expect the majority of the people here to know who these characters are? As you can see, only the music elite have bothered participating in the thread. When I said that the thread was eventually going to turn ugly, that's what I meant, because in a way, this comes off as some "Look at me, I'm anti-mainstream!" music trivia. Not that I care, but what was the real motivation behind the thread? You had to have known this wasn't going to get much particpation.

I don't mean to sound rude, but if you don't care, can you please just drop it? I see absolutely no reason to have this thread dissolve into yet another page full of long-winded arguments that will probably end up getting closed. We have enough of those already.

And regardless of who it is, people are participating, and that's all that matters, surely. And if it is only the so-called ''elite'', then they'll all know most of the supposed ''anti-mainstream'' (I tend to call it 'stuff which isn't manufactured and forced into our faces via MTV') band pictures posted here. So no, I don't see how it could get ugly. It wasn't ugly in the slightest until this little debate came up, so let's not go there.

Number 7 is gza and rza right?

Yup. The actual picture has Bill Bailey sitting next to RZA, but I figured that would just confuse people.

heh, its not bill bailey...its the guy from ghostbusters. cant remember his name, but it aint Bailey

4 is Opeth.

BTW, I didn't mean anything by my last post. Just, expect some cheating, lol.

that would almost be good insult but given that i never answered and i was just trying to make you aware incase you didnt realise that people could cheat

last time i bother trying to help you out

I realized that and even thought about it before realizing how stupid a person would have to be to want to cheat that way. Furthermore, I was not trying to insult you. I was using a hyperbole to emphasize my point and I apologize if there was some miscommunication that caused you to overreact.

I don't know any of the ones from the current set....

Though to be perfectly honest, I don't really know what most bands/musicians look like.

Yeah Bill Murray, why did I say Bailey??

And yeah 4 is Opeth

Ok, maybe I did make it a little too hard lookaround

Clues

1. Is a band who's latest album was based on sleep paralysis.
2. Is arguably the best band to come out of the hardcore punk scene.
3. Is the 'Funcrushers'.
5. Is named after the British word for sidewalk.
6. Is hard to describe...think lots of distortion and feedback.

Oh shit.. so it is.. how did I not get that? El-P looks really different from the other pics of him I've seen.

Yeah I deliberately chose more difficult pictures

And yes, it's Pavement.
