Awful Band Picture #2: Train

By request...we have the band Train. Now, the person who requested that I critique an awful band photograph of Train obviously assumed that an awful picture of Train would exist. But look at this. A very creative and interesting picture. I mean, this kind of picture has NEVER been done! All black clothing? How innovative! Avoiding eye contact with the camera? Why, I've never seen that one before! This picture is the exact opposite of awful.

Questions that this provoking photograph provokes:

What's front-and-center man pawing at in his pocket? Mashed potatoes? 48 cents in pennies?

What's Hat Guy pawing at in his pocket? His diddle biscuit. I'm sure of it.

And lastly, why is Howie Mandel in this photograph, and why is awkwardly crossing his arms? Did the photographer administer one too many tittie twisters? Maybe that's why they all look so morose...

  1. You neglected to mention the fact that the lead singer looks like John Stamos, and his odd giant-head-to-tiny-hips ratio.

    Also, WTF are these city boys doing in the middle of a soft focus field? It's like they wandered into a douche commercial.

  2. They must have that "not so fresh" feeling. Happens when your music clearly emerges not from your soul but your anus.
