Title: 75 Bands
Post by: RVertigo on May 25, 2006, 01:47:19 PM
75 band names portrayed in this pic:  http://pub.virgindigital.com/content/Images/US/W/S/M1256/HOMEPAGE_RESKIN/virgindigital1024x768.jpg

I've already figured out a bunch of 'em... But, not all 75...

Ready?  GO!

:icon_mrgreen:  I printed it out and was checking out on a smoke break...  Someone said, "What are those 2 Us?"  U2!   :icon_mrgreen:

The other funny one was, "What are those Gorillas?"  "Gorillaz!" :laugh:

There's a decent answer key at http://www.landersmusic.com/popup%2075%20bands/popup%20pic.htm

Green Day, Nine Inch Nails, Blind Melon, Phish,  Ratt,  Bee Gee's,  Madonna,  Garbage,  Korn, Black Crowes,  White Stripes

Some of the better and more obscure ones ones have to be the `Dead Kennedys`there is pic of them on the left stuck on the wall under the light, next to them is a pic of a `Seal`. The crossing could be the `White stripes`, the guys with the surf-boards have got to be the `Beach-boys``. The Red Hot Chillis` are in there just above `Green Day`. The `Police` are in the middle background. The shark on the Bill Board must be `Great White` and the trees on the mountain in the background have to be `Cyprus (Cherry) Hill`. My fave though is the Sex Pistols.......work it out hahahha.

Skiny Dog is no one.  Skinny Puppy is an industrial band.

Totally...  The best answer I heard for that one was KISS...  I was hoping there was a band called: "The Hot Lesbians"

Alas, there isn't. :cry:
Title: Re: 75 Bands
Post by: makenzie71 on May 25, 2006, 11:52:44 PM
^KISS

At first I thought it was this band/group that consists of 2 russian lesbian chicks with annoying songs but I couldn't remember the name so I went with KISS.
Title: Re: 75 Bands

unless it is T.A.T.U????  you know those russian chicks

Yeah...  But the pic represents the band name... Not the band...

That's why "Blues Brothers" or "Blues Traveler" doesn't work...  But, Iron Maiden and KISS do. :icon_mrgreen:
Title: Re: 75 Bands
Post by: makenzie71 on May 25, 2006, 11:56:44 PM
^party pooper

haha that's another one to add to the list...76 bands.

Kissing = KISS
Lesbians = Tatu

I really like Blur and the Sex Pistols...those were clever...
Title: Re: 75 Bands
Post by: RVertigo on May 25, 2006, 11:58:08 PM
Tatu would be a tattoo on someone...  Not chicks kissing...

Get it?

Rolling Stones == Rocks rolling through the street, not old English drug addicts... 

Get it?

Oh well...
