Hello to all lovers of the trivial! I’m trying to identify where these 8 images came from for a just for fun contest. I would love any help or insight the genius of straight dope may offer. Thanks! ~Big Meat [http://www.flickr.com/photos/69229241@N05/6807101299/](http://www.flickr.com/photos/69229241@N05/6807101299/) ---

Sorry Maserschmidt - I took one down because we found it. It was LeRoy Larson and the Minnesota Scandinavian Ensemble album cover. ---

Photo #5 resembles Woody Guthrie, but can’t be sure. SS ---

Often for these kinds of things, [TinEye](http://www.tineye.com/)is your friend. I searched a couple of the images though (the individual images that make up the composite are also in the photostream) and it didn’t come up with anything. ---

I don’t think that’s [Woody](http://www.google.com/imgres?hl=en&biw=935&bih=583&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=OVB4abe-xXEy9M:&imgrefurl=http://www.lyricspond.com/artist-woody-guthrie&docid=JV7ak9OxQhxvYM&imgurl=http://image.lyricspond.com/image/w/artist-woody-guthrie/album-anthology/cd-cover.jpg&w=500&h=500&ei=G-YqT4vpEYqnsALjkMmsDg&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=365&sig=106945010390774373801&page=4&tbnh=121&tbnw=121&start=52&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:9,s:52&tx=101&ty=41). The eyes look all wrong. Number seven could be Meat Loaf, a long time ago, but somehow I doubt it. For number one, my only guess would be Pixel Pete. ---

I searched a couple of the images though (the individual images that make up the composite are also in the photostream) and it didn’t come up with anything. Thanks for the idea MrSquishy - I’ve tried both tineye and reverse google images and neither have shed any light on these. I’ve got to hope people will recognize them. Thanks, ~Big Meat ---

With number 1, playing a chainsaw, I would guess either Ted Nugent or Jackyl? ---

That might be me in number one. At least that’s my face. Never played an instrument, though. Photoshop? ---

I swear those all look like band photos from the infamous “Rock n Roll Hall of Douchebags”, but it would be too much work to go search it. ---

I thought it was hell of a suggestion! I went through them all and didn’t find a one! The search continues. Thanks for the thought! Big Meat
