WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE?

The Acacia Strain

Hi KIDS!

This blog has been around for a little over a year, so as a celebration this week I’ll be providing FIVE entries (one per day, M-F) to vote on instead of the customary one.

Happy Voting!

Purpose:
Determine a band’s leader by analyzing a publicity photo.

Disclaimer:
A band’s inclusion on this blog reflects neither an endorsement nor a criticism of its music. This post is merely intended as a spotlight on the inner political workings of a collection of individuals who are in the midst of a cooperative, creative endeavor.

The Process:
You, dear reader, please answer the question, “Who’s in charge here?”

After sufficient discussion has taken place, a verdict can then be passed based on a majority vote.

    There is a definite “Of Mice and Men” vibe going on here with the two in the forefront. So the tiny illustrated man on the left is in charge. Let’s call him “George.”

    The man who is twice the size of the other three is surely the boss!
    He also looks arrogant and domineering!

    I agree with mcgone, although I would say that the tiny tattooed man is more like Teller to big scary multiplication shirt wearing Penn. Teller/George is in charge.

    We usually rule out drummers as leaders, but this is a metal band and the Laws of Metallica must be followed.

    Law 1: The diminutive skinny dude is the drummer.

    Law 2: If said diminutive skinny dude is from Denmark, he is in charge.

    Law 3: The bass player shall wear white and shall have a strong fear of buses.

    I have no idea if the diminutive skinny dude in front is from Denmark, but he sure looks angry. I’ll say he’s Ulrich and Mr. Multiplication Tables is Hetfield. Diminutive skinny dude is in charge.

    Will Sasso’s in charge. The miffed David Cross spent hundreds of dollars on sweet tats, but this was not enough to overcome Will’s size and the volume of his JC Penney urbanwear t-shirt and cap. I’m not sure if the two guys in back are even part of the band. I suspect they’re in line to use the can.

    I vote tiny hatless man on the left because he bucked the trend and went without a hat.

    I’m going with the obvious front right big bastard dude at the front and right. I would probably have a witty reason for this, but right now I’m pissed as a fart.

    I vote for tat man. He’s kinda cute and that shallow criteria dictates in our culture from time to time.

    Im actually going to vote for a member this time. I was going to vote for the white signature looking bits in the lower right hand corner but decided against it.

    I vote for the man with the skull cap in the back. My reason being that guys in skull caps get me going for some reason.

    I would also like to apologize for the TMI.

    My vote goes to Mr Multiplying in the front. There are many reasons for this, but the main one being the math on his shirt gives him the appearance of being the most intellegent in the group.

    Ah Splotchy you spoil us.
    Mr Multiply, he’s a big chap who is not afraid to wear a totally ridiculous hat, his chin is raised and everyone else is gloomily nursing chinese hand burns, Mr Multipication is in charge.

    It seems the one thing we can all agree on is that it’s not the guy in the rear on the right.

    His ability to facilitate a consensus is shocking, but I’m sticking with tatman.

    the guy farthest from the camera..looks as if he took his position first and ordered mr x-man to set the timer, and the other two guys to stand so that he gets max possible footage at the back.

    I can’t believe I accidentally stumbled upon this. What was the point of analyzing the acacia strain? almost everything, including conclusions, was wrong.
