I know what Mr Cummings was trying to do, but it didn't work.
Which one is Liz?
:DD
Oh that's awesome!
Oops, it may not actually be real. Sorry.
To compensate, here is one that I know is real:

Though, whether it is actually bad or awesome could be up for debate. Same goes for the music.

Aye, seems to be from Twisted Vintage, perv-eyor of photoshopped and cropped cool stuff that's largely nsfw.

This would be timeless if they weren't doing The Bump on that podium.

I think the clearer Wikipedia image for this is even better.

Bloke in the middle is Metamorpho.

Arrgh! Run! Death's here, and he's broken perspective!
We'll go down to the garden centre and do the shoot really quickly while nobody's looking:

Custard. The band is called Custard. And the man has a bottom growing on his left inside thigh.

I've just laughed myself silly. At least they're not called Love Custard.
More information on Custard, including: "Chris Klapper is the only founder still in Custard."

German Power metal. Are they as good as Blind Guardian?

Radiohead - Unplugged

Image
Marilyn Manson - Sympathy for the Devil

Image
Deftones - The Ultimate Demo Collection

Sorry, but this is an excellent album cover. Have you ever seen posters for arab bands/gigs/albums around places like Coventry? It's bang on the money.

Tenacious D is glaring at you.

(New D album early next year, whoo)
Are you supposed to be able to read that?
Given that I've forgotten the band name already, no.
"Asaradel" apparently.
Looks like someones tried to scratch the price off.
