The Random Band Game

[OldJake666]

This is incredibly fun and addicting...

1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit “random”
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to "Random quotations"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use photoshop or similar to put it all together.

My creations:

Anger Function - But That Wasn't It.



Ginrin - Explore it, Don't Limit It



Richard Paez - Thinkers Are Rare



The first one reminds me of Opeth a little, It'd definitely be a metal band. I think the second could be either prog-rock or prog-metal. The last one just screams post-rock.

Good game! I'll have to try this after my head stops exploding.

I did some of these last year. They're fun.







I would totally listen to 5 Came Back.

"Japanese Cruiser Sendai" - LOL That's a kickass name for a band.

[Hookswords]

Admittedly this is quite fun


Zero Instruction Set Computer- About whom one cares nothng


I closed the window before catching the photographer

Von Richter Reaction- Man did commit suicide

[Serpian]

Haha, it's scary how well almost all of these really work!

[Hexism]

^_^V

[waranghira]

lol, from the anus of teh internets, /b/

[Yngling]

"Von Richter Reaction" could be "Van der Graaf generator"'s lost twin brother! But then again "Van der Graaf Generator" was a very random band name to begin with.

[OldJake666]

Yes but have you listened to Van Der Graaf Generator with your hand on a Van de Graaff Generator?




I personally think the name fits the music pretty well.

[Kfeeras]

if I ever have a band again i will use THIS METHOD since band-name-finding is ever harder than anythhing else

[wyrmnite]

The Dimension Riders - Game of Life





Temporal Logic - Deceive the public




First i Did some saturation edits to the picture, the second one is a crop of an image, otherwise unedited (aside from name and title)


1st one looks like a euro-pop or some sort, whilst the 2nd looks quite Metal or Hardcore Thrash.

[Blahm]

i would probly buy all of these

[plunder bunny]

LOL.. mines turned out... obscure. But I think I like it

oh yeah forgot to include the photographer
