Idk how to do spoiler blues on text but I'm going to say what I think all the bands are below:
-Counting Crows, Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead, Def Leppard, Led Zeppelin, The Doors
I love this game btw
Just out of frame: Three Doors Down
Sigh... I thought the name was Two Doors Down. I am not a clever man.
Don't worry, my first thought was 2 door cinema club, but I quickly realized that's not correct. Especially when you realize all of these are older bands.
Counting Crows is older? Fuck I'm old.
They formed in 1991, and 2 members are over 60 with 3 others only a few years behind. Yeah I think they are old sadly...
So, "The Doors"?
You and me both my friend.
I felt stupid when i saw it was 3
Don’t feel too bad, I sat there going “Three Black Crowes? Where in the hell did the R & extra E come from?”
I read your comment and went "oh that's not wrong, I wonder if anyone's told him he's right yet" …....
And this is actually exactly where the name “Led Zeppelin” came from. One of the members was told “your band will take off like a lead zeppelin.” Basically saying it would never get off the ground. So they made that the band name, changing it to “led” to avoid it being mispronounced.
Ah yes Lead Zeppelin the front most zeppelin
....aaand that is exactly why they spell it "led" instead of "lead". "Because those fucking Americans are gonna pronounce it Leed instead of Lehd" - Plant (paraphrasing)
it's pronounced lead
No , it's pronounced lead. Not lead
I could have sworn in school they told me to be careful when reading aloud lead like lead instead of lead
Reminds of the story of Mark Knopfler and his band ... one of their friends saw how they were living at the time and said they looked like they were in dire straits .... and the stories of Mark go on when he recounted coming across a band name on one of their early traveling shows and saw the name 'The Sultans Of Swing' at a bar.
Didn't know the background for them that's cool
Thank you. Couldn't figure out Grateful Dead. My mind kept thinking "bones" and I was stumped
I got them all after about a minute, but that one took me the longest
I kept thinking of Flower Skeleton.
The trouble is band names are so stupid they literally they could be anything.
I was all, Bonesy Mcgee, nooo, um, Flower Skull! No. Daisy Ribcage! Damn. Ohhhhh Thanky McSckullface.
Those were my assumptions as well.
Quite cute and a fun format.
That leopard looks shocked, not deaf. It needs a face of confusion, not a face that looks like it took the mother of all suppositories unexpectedly.
Grateful Dead! Thank you.
To get the point across more subtly, instead of repeating "thank you" a second time, it could say something like "Hey, I appreciate that".
Okay, so I didn't know how to make spoilers either, so I thought to find out.
A hidden message
Now the question is how do escape the code for spoilers, so I can display it here, without making more spoilers …
I think maybe Lemmg and Kbin work differently. Different apps seem to handle spoiler tags inconsistently as well. Here's how Sync for Android does them:
This style, with a title,
Doesn't work in preview, but is hidden for me after posting.When I went to edit this post, the spoiler tags were removed. And after revealing them, I couldn't get the text to go back to hidden when viewing the post. So handling for spoilers is janky in this app, apparently.
Isn't it just :::?
I was guessing loud cheetah so thanks.
Here's the thing. You said a "jackdaw is a crow."
Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that.
As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.
If you're saying "crow family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens.
So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people "call the black ones crows?" Let's get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too.
Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that's not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you'd call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don't.
It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?
I was thinking 'The Yardbirds' for the first one; though I wasn't at all sure, bcs that didn't take into account the '1 ... 2 ... 3'
