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
Is that one Cannibal Corpse? 🤨
@voltronic @Render @BillyBones @stueytheround @opie @northernbassist
I THINK Wagner is Manowar. I'm disappointed I don't see Deicide on here. And there should be a Nini, with a NIN logo. 🤣🤷🏻♂️
@voltronic @Render @BillyBones @stueytheround @opie @northernbassist
@Heucuva8 You're right about Wagner.
@stueytheround @Heucuva8 @Render @BillyBones @opie @northernbassist
I just found a helpful website for this.
https://fontmeme.com/
@voltronic
Very helpful.
Dvorak is Bullet for my Valentine.
@Heucuva8 @voltronic @Render @BillyBones @stueytheround @northernbassist
seconded: Wagner is Manowar
@Heucuva8
You've named the ones I can definitely manage.
I *think* bottom right might be Death.
Is Tchaikovsky Scorpions maybe?
@Heucuva8 Tchakovsky isn't Scorpions is it? What a silly boy I am. They have a more curvy font.
Judas Priest???
@stueytheround
No Megadeth, Judas Priest, or Scorpions I don't think.
@voltronic
This is driving me nuts. 🤣
I recognise the fonts but it's still really hard!
I bet Render nails a few of these.
@Heucuva8 @Render @BillyBones @opie @northernbassist
@stueytheround
Edvard Grieg is driving me nuts. It's so familiar but I can't place it.
@voltronic
I think that's the one @Heucuva8 named as Cradle of Filth.
@voltronic
Tchakovsky and Beethoven are killing me 🤣
So incredibly familiar.
@stueytheround Oh! I thought it was Slipknot @voltronic @Heucuva8 @Render @BillyBones @opie @northernbassist
@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 @ShazzaRazza
Ooh, good one. I actually have heard of them, only because some former students were big fans.
@voltronic We're thinking Mozart *may* be Orpheum. @ShazzaRazza does graphics & tubes as a hobby and says it's the Orpheus font, which would tie in (when you use the font itself it gives the 'o' with the dot in it).
@BillyBones
The M is right for sure. I thought that or H.I.M. maybe? @voltronic @ShazzaRazza @opie @Heucuva8 @Render @northernbassist
@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
@stueytheround So who's still missing? 🤔 @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
@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
@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
Funnily enough I use that site a fair bit too. Recommended.
@ShazzaRazza @opie @Heucuva8 @voltronic @Render @northernbassist
@stueytheround @BillyBones @ShazzaRazza @Heucuva8 @voltronic @Render @northernbassist
that song was the ultimate challenge on guitar hero
@opie
There are some cool videos of people absolutely nailing it, too.
@BillyBones @ShazzaRazza @Heucuva8 @voltronic @Render @northernbassist
@Heucuva8
Iron Maiden (Edward Elgar) popped right out for me, too.
@Heucuva8
FWIW Megadeth isn't there.
Is Beethoven Helloween?
@voltronic @Render @BillyBones @stueytheround @opie @Heucuva8 @northernbassist bottom right looks like Napalm Death to me
@rych @voltronic @Render @BillyBones @stueytheround @opie @Heucuva8 @northernbassist That burzum font looks like something Opeth used back in his earlier days, late 2000's I think. Seen the type on album covers.
@rych @voltronic @Render @BillyBones @stueytheround @opie @Heucuva8 @northernbassist Whoa, I wasn't meaning to kill the entire thread flow. *crickets*
Nah, people just got busy. They'll be back shortly. 😊
@PaganMother @rych @voltronic @Render @BillyBones @stueytheround @opie @northernbassist
@Heucuva8 @rych @voltronic @Render @BillyBones @stueytheround @opie @northernbassist Phew, okay, was thinking I dun murdered an entire metal thread! D:
Many of them are GMT -5, so it's 7:30 am. They're either on their way to work, or like me, home from it. 😁
@PaganMother @rych @voltronic @Render @BillyBones @stueytheround @opie @northernbassist
@Heucuva8 @rych @voltronic @Render @BillyBones @stueytheround @opie @northernbassist That makes sense. Yeah I'm in the same timezone.
@PaganMother
Sorry I missed this earlier. I think you might be right about Opeth. The logos I have found are close, though the "p" is more pointy in "Chopin". It's annoying because I *know* I know these! 🤣
I'm one step away from digging out my entire CD collection 🤣
@rych @voltronic @Render @BillyBones @opie @Heucuva8 @northernbassist
@stueytheround @rych @voltronic @Render @BillyBones @opie @Heucuva8 @northernbassist Worth the trip down memory lane, that's for sure. :)
@stueytheround @PaganMother @voltronic @Render @BillyBones @opie @Heucuva8 @northernbassist I was having a very similar thought Stuey 😅
@rych Napalm Death is made of bones.
@voltronic @Render @BillyBones @opie @Heucuva8 @northernbassist
The Metallica, Slayer, AC/DC and Megadeth ones are easily recognizable. I recognize Cradle of Filth as well... 🤔
