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

[-] semi_sentient@sh.itjust.works 66 points 11 months ago

Just out of frame: Three Doors Down

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 29 points 11 months ago

Sigh... I thought the name was Two Doors Down. I am not a clever man.

[-] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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.

[-] A7thStone@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Counting Crows is older? Fuck I'm old.

[-] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

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...

[-] Muddbiker@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

So, "The Doors"?

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 4 points 11 months ago

You and me both my friend.

I felt stupid when i saw it was 3

[-] HonkTonkWoman@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Don’t feel too bad, I sat there going “Three Black Crowes? Where in the hell did the R & extra E come from?”

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I read your comment and went "oh that's not wrong, I wonder if anyone's told him he's right yet" …....

[-] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 28 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] ThePantser@lemmy.world 27 points 11 months ago

Ah yes Lead Zeppelin the front most zeppelin

[-] bratosch@lemm.ee 13 points 11 months ago

....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)

[-] hushable@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago
[-] bratosch@lemm.ee 13 points 11 months ago

No , it's pronounced lead. Not lead

Thank you. Couldn't figure out Grateful Dead. My mind kept thinking "bones" and I was stumped

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

I got them all after about a minute, but that one took me the longest

Those were my assumptions as well.

Quite cute and a fun format.

[-] rekabis@programming.dev 5 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] breakcore@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 11 months ago

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 …

[-] CodexArcanum@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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:

!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.

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Isn't it just :::?

[-] lseif@sopuli.xyz 2 points 11 months ago
A hidden reply You can escape it with a codeblock i think

I was guessing loud cheetah so thanks.

[-] walthervonstolzing@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

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'

[-] dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

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?

In case anyone didn't get this comic, each of these panel is a literal illustration of the name of a famous band, which are:

  • Three Jackdaws
  • Nano Avalanche
  • Flower for Bony Jerry
  • Turn Down for What?
  • Airship Down
  • The Stanley Parable
[-] ElectroLisa@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 11 months ago

Stanley took the door to the left

[-] RangerOs@feddit.de 9 points 11 months ago

Thanks! That was very helpful 😁

[-] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Phew. For a moment I thought I might have got some of them wrong there.

[-] ReplicantBatty@lemmy.one 3 points 11 months ago

Flower for Bony Jerry would unironically be an awesome band name

Thank you I had the stones and the doors. I failed on the others

[-] ElJefe@lemm.ee 13 points 11 months ago
[-] rosymind@leminal.space 4 points 11 months ago

Yeah, that was fun

[-] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago

Counting Crows seem a bit out of place. Especially compared to the likes of Led Zeppelin and Rolling Stones. Not so sure about Def Leopard either, really.

[-] SkippingRelax@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Thanks number one that was the only one that I didn't get

[-] Cylusthevirus@kbin.social 6 points 11 months ago
[-] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

:D

As a matter of fact, yes.

[-] niktemadur@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Then you start playing with phonetic similarities in different languages.
Take Spanish:
Flock Of Seagulls sounds like Flaca Seagulls, "flaca" is the singular female of "skinny".
So you bend and break the grammar a little bit and get
Las Gaviotas Flacas - The Skinny Seagulls

Not unlike
"Está café"
How do you say "café" in English?
Brown.
"Está ca-brown"
"Está cabrón", a versatile slang vulgar similar to "it's fucking hard" and "it's fucked".

[-] robdor@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 11 months ago

Now do sex pistols

[-] Naveen000can@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago
[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago

Numbered Birds, sentient kidney stones, friendly skeleton, easily offended panther, heavy blimp, shitty apartments

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

Please tell me these are also real band names

[-] Thermal_shocked@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago
[-] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 3 points 11 months ago

All of them are band names as explained in another comment

[-] Lemmyvisitor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

I thought the last one was two door cinema club
