Just got this fun shirt. Can any metalheads out there identify all the bands by font? I know a few, but definitely not all of them.
#cosomusic #cosoclassical
The Metallica, Slayer, AC/DC and Megadeth ones are easily recognizable. I recognize Cradle of Filth as well... 🤔
@voltronic @Render @BillyBones @stueytheround @opie @northernbassist
Is that one Cannibal Corpse? 🤨
@voltronic @Render @BillyBones @stueytheround @opie @northernbassist
@Heucuva8
You've named the ones I can definitely manage.
I *think* bottom right might be Death.
Is Tchaikovsky Scorpions maybe?
@stueytheround @Heucuva8 @voltronic @Render @BillyBones @northernbassist
Death uses an upside down cross for the t
@opie Can you get the Beethoven, Tchaikovsky or Mozart? It's making me crazy!
@stueytheround Got to credit my Mrs, @ShazzaRazza for this one. Beethoven is Dragonforce (no, we've never heard of them either) 👍
@BillyBones
You've never heard of Dragonforce?
It's like STeve Vai and EVH had a secret lovechild!
Epic arena metal and famously featured on Guitar Hero!
Allow me to introduce you.
This is Through the Fire and the Flames
@ShazzaRazza @opie @Heucuva8 @voltronic @Render @northernbassist
@BillyBones
I thought of them, but the E's looked wrong! 🤣
@ShazzaRazza @opie @Heucuva8 @voltronic @Render @northernbassist
@stueytheround I think what's happened is that the shirt has been created using the fonts, so some letters get changed if they have 'glyphs' (embellishments) @ShazzaRazza @opie @Heucuva8 @voltronic @Render @northernbassist
@stueytheround I've no idea why @ShazzaRazza doesn't just pop in and type this herself, but here's what she found. Go to the link and type in Beethoven in the field below the Dragonforce logo 👍
@stueytheround 👍 She's working on Tchaikovsky now. I thought it was Alcatrazz but it's not quite there. @ShazzaRazza @opie @Heucuva8 @voltronic @Render @northernbassist
@BillyBones Chopin: Evanescence?
@ShazzaRazza @opie @Heucuva8 @voltronic @Render @northernbassist
@stueytheround I don't think so, but I originally thought that too 👍 @ShazzaRazza @opie @Heucuva8 @voltronic @Render @northernbassist
@BillyBones
No. I checked.
Bach *might* be Machine Head, though it *should* have been Spinal Tap!
@ShazzaRazza @opie @Heucuva8 @voltronic @Render @northernbassist
@BillyBones
Oh FFS
Look at the T, Y and the H in Tchaikovsky! It's Thin Lizzy! It just looks weird using the font, but not Lizzy's layout.
@ShazzaRazza @opie @Heucuva8 @voltronic @Render @northernbassist
@BillyBones
Hmm.
Maybe. Again, might be a font issue.
The people selling this shirt on FB (yep. That's the first google link) are absolutely not paying for copyright permission! @ShazzaRazza @opie @Heucuva8 @voltronic @Render @northernbassist
@stueytheround Has Wagner been done? That's Manowar isn't it?
@ShazzaRazza @opie @Heucuva8 @voltronic @Render @northernbassist
@BillyBones
The ones left are the more elaborate ones with lots of flourishes.
@ShazzaRazza @opie @Heucuva8 @voltronic @Render @northernbassist
@stueytheround Is Grieg 'Suffocation'?
@BillyBones
Don't think so.
Cradle of Filth has been suggested by Papa Bones.
@stueytheround @BillyBones @ShazzaRazza @Heucuva8 @Render @northernbassist
cradle of filth doesn't have lowercase letters...don't think they're represented here
@BillyBones
Chopin
Rachmaninov
Vivaldi
Borodin
Brahms
Not certain either about Grieg or Mussorgsky.
@ShazzaRazza @opie @Heucuva8 @voltronic @Render @northernbassist
@stueytheround Borodin - I *did* narrow the font down to Ruritania, and think the band *might* be Burzum (don't tell me everyone but me has heard of them too! 😀). I'm not sure it's right though, it's a bit obscure considering the company they'd be keeping on @voltronic's shirt.
@stueytheround I really want to kick myself for missing one of my favourite bands, but I'm not sure that's it, mate. The T is more stylised and the Y on the shirt is more like a '4' @ShazzaRazza @opie @Heucuva8 @voltronic @Render @northernbassist
