    Neck tie’s in charge. The laws of one point perspective demand it.

    Large Marine Animals (insert your own joke here). The guy wearing the bowling shoes is clearly a drummer. Far left isn’t Italian, probably an escapee from a Portugese prison. Second from left is in charge (necktie, vanishing point, etc…)

    I shall also throw in a vote for Vanishing Point. The eye just goes there, after being momentarily distracted by Italian Dustin Diamond on the far right (Or, as he is known in their native land, El Screecho).

    How do you suppose they get all their equipment onto their Vespas for gigs?

    It’s tempting to say Silvio Berlusconi is in charge, given that he controls all things mass media in Italy. But this being an even-numbered year, he’s again in charge of the Italian government. That leaves him little time to book these guys hotel rooms for the San Remo festival. I’ll have to go with “La Cravatta” (the necktie), at least until Berlusconi is out of power again (for all anyone knows, later this week).

    Necktie gets my vote. He looks like the one with the vision. The one who came up with the band name, and the one who would be most satisfying to punch.

    if you look closely, the guy on the right has a necktie too… but that doesn’t mean he’s in charge – mr. vanishing point necktie is. and quite an achievement it is; to be in charge of the sons of che guevara, pablo picasso, and gino vanelli!

    Definitely dark dude in the tie — he’s all broody and in the shadows because he’s soooo in charge, he doesn’t even need to be in the front. Nice. The other guys just look sleepy and/or like they are wearing uncomfortable pants . . . that being said, it’s also quite possible that second-from-right’s pseudo-saddle shoes are in charge. Just a thought . . .

    The 2nd on the right has my vote. Cleanest haircut = used to meeting with promoters and record execs. Obviously the band leader is the one responsible for that.

    I vote for the gray-ish looking building in the background. I have no proper reasoning for this vote because Im a very sleepy little girl right now.

    Gray building in the way back in charge just because.

    I vote for the same dude everyone else is voting for, second from the left, simply because his hair is the floppiest.

    I’m going to have to go with saddle shoes. The guy on the left looks like he just slid into the picture from the other side of the street since he is not wearing the mandated dark jacket.

    The crocodile in the sewer beneath them is in charge. It’s all in the band name.

    I vote for Mr. Vanishing Point too. Not only because of perspective, but if a truck or even a bicycle is headed toward them, the other band members get hit first. So, the Human Shield owner is the leader.
