a few notes about my entry: The guitar player has a pick between his thumb and index finger. you can’t really see it but it’s there. I thought it would be funny to make the drummer wear no pants, making him a crazy guy like Keith Moon of the Who.

Another note about @fcharr’s entry: The singers hand gesture (mano cornuta) was popularized in heavy metal by Ronnie James Dio who (unfortunately) died May 16, 2010. Exactly ten years before fcharr submitted his entry.

I didn’t believe it myself. I went back to check, the entry is dated May 16 at about 10:00 PM. My decision to pose him like that was whimsical. I was thinking of Rob Halford kicking the phone… Truly daunting :metal: :open_mouth:

To be honest, I wasn’t aware of the fact but as soon as my local radio station went into full Dio-mode, I knew something was going on. Has it really been ten years? I would have bet money on you placing the reference on purpose. :metal: :wink:

Is the drummer without pants also a reference to something? :smiley:

You know what, if it is, I’d rather not know…

no, it’s just a vague reference to your run of the mill crazy drummer :wink:

I know that kind of drummers…


And this one even still has his pants on. :wink:

What a pity. Now, you will probably never know if you’re evil or divine. Better luck next time. I guess, the thrill of just the chase will be worth the pain.

Here you go: Alchemy :slight_smile:
