Bubonic plague-prevention beaks? It's obvious that no one is in charge.
I am so perplexed/repulsed/transfixed by this picture, I almost don't want to participate. Are they human bongs? My god...
Anyway, I'll go with bald head/beard in the middle of the back row. All signs (and freaks dressed like birds) point to him.
wow splotchy, you've outdone yourself with this one. let's see, we've got Burger King 'buckin chicken' rejects up front, satan spawn far left, the only winner here is whoever organized this renaissance fair -meets- special olympics event.
clearly nobody is in charge or this never could have happened.
Wow, Splotchy, you've outdone yourself with this one. Where did you dig up these guys?
The seated man with the long, um, instrument...is in charge.
Ha jillian, i think you owe me a coke.
Oh, sorry for copying you p0nk!
na that's great! "great minds..." and all that.
What the hell have you gotten us into.
I'll go with the Blue Knight(guy in blue).
He's a horse of a different color.
if anyone's in charge here, i'd guess ming the merciless in the middle.
...and now i have to go wash my eyes.
Wow... I honestly am confused about this one! I think the guy in the front with the string instrument.
Ummm...wow. That's an interesting choice, to say the least. My vote goes to the guy kneeling in the middle with the yellow leather loin cloth thingy-he appears to be the most sane of this motley bunch.

At first I was going to pick fu man choo in the middle, but then I started to wonder if the bald beard guy was the leader, you know all barbarian leader type. Then I realized it has to be the devil, he is giving us the come and give me your soul for a million dollars, a milkshake or maybe a ham sandwich. It has to be the devil.
Easy one. The guy in the middle takes 20 minute showers. 5 minutes to wash, the other 15 minutes to laugh his ass off. 'they wore the beaks!' he squeals to himself. '"Shave my head and keep the beard?"..yeah..that's the ticket' Crying with laughter. The 'Eyes Wide Shut' guys he calls them to himself, or 'beak boys'. He's trying hard not to bust out right now, in that photo. He's hoping someone farts so he gets a reason to laugh. He's in charge.
Good God! I don't want to contemplate any of those freaks being in charge of anything, however, if I had to say someone, it would be...um...the guy with the devil horns I guess.
gffosOh. My.
This is, uhm. Wow. This is a tough one. I'm gonna go with pOnk on this. Nobody's in charge of this..this...thing.
Oh dear. I am afraid of even contemplating as to what their music sounds like.
*shudders*
jeez. i think i'll book these guys for my aunt's wedding.
has to be the guy standing on left with the horns. the outstretched hand, the eye contact... he is saying "im the one with a degree in business marketing".
The masked man on the left.
He's got the most camera exposure.
Also...GAH!
What the balls?
No one is in charge here. This is a clusterfuck of utter chaos.
In the ancient times, the Lady of of the Lake decreed that whosoever should pull the long instrument from the stone shall rightfully rule the band. So it's the guy holding "Excalibur," wearing the yellow, um, loin flaps kneeling in the center.
At his death, he will sail on his death barge with the three queens to Avalon and will return to rule the band in its darkest hour.
Or something.
I believe their psychiatrist is in charge.
Dude.
My gut reaction was "Satan's in charge". Then I zoomed the photo, and there he is, on the left, with the red horns.
Holy Crap! Is it just me, or do they have grammaphones implanted in their brains? Or are they carrying blunderbusses? Beaks? Jesus wept on the cross! One thing I do know, it's not Satan (far left), he's clearly the drummer. It must be former Kung Fu character Chun Yen (played by actor James Hong), seated center playing the monochord crossbow, or whatever that is.
Well, I feel strangely transported to the casualty waiting room at about 3 on a Sunday morning.
I suspect they are an autonoumous collective, it's bound to be more in tune with their anarcho-situationist sensibilities.....or something.
But if pushed, I'd say the bald head beard guy with the trumpet thing coming out of his head probably says " So is that our concensus? Right, I'll go and tell them, much metta guys" more often than the rest of them SO he IS in charge.
The dude on the right in the blue!
I wonder about the guys who don't have those headmaphones showing. I mean, perhaps they have them but in places we don't want to see?
Everything beckeye said.
Easy. Devil horns on the left. His hand gesture is saying "here we are."
The clothing stylists are clearly in charge. None of these guys could be in charge.
We all know that the dudes with beaks are clearly everyone elses bitches. Devil horns no longer command power as they have become so very main stream. Little bald man w/ graphic facial hair looks a little stoned. Bottle blonde on the right is to in love with the camera. Bald headed/long beard and the two long haired fellows look like space fillers.
It is most deffinately the stylists
Wow, this looks like Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome: The Musical, thankfully without Tina Turner. Although, having not heard this band, maybe she'd be a good addition. But I digress.
I think it has to be the guy standing on the left. The way he is beckoning us seems to say "Come! Join my madness! I will look after you! Masked eunuchs, bring our guest some mead!"
Oh, and thanks for the mention in the last post...I'm really going up in the world!
The question is:
Who's going to charge them here?
For crimes against taste.
Red horns!
This is such a tough one. I am torn between red horns on the left behind that chicken-dude, and the tall guy in the back on the right with the bad groove patch/beard.
Horny has a real "another lame pub photo shoot" look in his face, as if he has better things to do. Tall groove patch wants to start right though you and possess your very soul, with a slight head tilt of arrogance.
I think I gotta go with red horns. Just something about him that says he can give this shit up at anytime, and the rest of the members are his little playthings.
satan, of course
I'm sufficiently disturbed by this photo that I can't form a coherent thought.
Sorry!! ;)
Guy with the devil's horns!
at first I thought the guy in the middle is in charge then i thought satan was.
but now i give my vote to the one in the middle
Whomever is in charge is definitely not pictured... (s)he was powerful enough to get these guys dressed up like circus freaks and stay out of the picture, so of the people pictured, no one is in charge here.
I was disappointed by the results of this poll. The man in blue appears to be carrying some sort of rocket launcher, which de facto lets him be in charge of anything he wants to be.
Tom, I had figured the bad guy from Big Trouble In Little China was going to win it.
Although this is not the purpose of the blog, if you cared to listen to a few minutes of their music, maybe you'd understand it better.
...and yes, I guess all of you can stand it for a few minutes :-)
