    Only the leader is allowed to have something on his t-shirt. It’s the tall guy in the middle!

    Oh my god, what a bunch of posers! Oh, I’m sorry; what a bunch of TOUGH GUYS. They’re sooooo bad-ass! They prolly rock. so. freaking. hard!

    I was tempted to say middle guy, but then I noticed that ridiculous look on the sleeveless tattoo-arms guy and the way his head is kinda cocked back; gotta be him. I think tall middle guy is probably just the bad-ass drummer.

    I’m torn between middle guy and guy on far right. I think I’ll go with middle guy, because he kind of looks like the singer from Nickelback, so he probably sucks like him too.

    Dude on the far left. He’s got the casual attitude that screams confidence of a leader.

    Splotchy, is Scandinavian Death Metal a real genre or did you make it up?

    If you made it up it’s funny. If it’s real it’s way funny.

    Dguzman, let me make it clear that just because James Hetfield Starter Kit won the vote, doesn’t mean he’s actually in charge.

    I’m not quizzing people on the leader, I’m just asking them their opinion of who the leader appears to be based on the picture I post. There is no right or wrong answer.

    That’s why I poked a little fun at the ladies who voted for Nasty ‘Stache in the Wilco post. They knew who the real leader of Wilco was (Jeff Tweedy) and what he looked like, and consequently voted for him.

    However, you and Jin, who I presume *didn’t* know which one of the Wilco guys was the real-life leader, picked other guys in the band.

    When I render the verdict, it’s solely on the basis of the counted votes.

    I don’t know who the leader is in this the band (frankly, I think it’s more fun not to know).

    If I voted, I’d probably have gone with you, for the sleeveless tattooed guy.
