Rock Band Album Cover Generator

Willets Point Jan 13 2008 10:26 PM

Here's a fun way to create an album cover for an album never recorded by a band that doesn't exist. All you have to do is visit the following links and follow the instructions: 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The first article title on the page is the name of your band. 2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album. 3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/ The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover Now all you have to is edit that image and load it up in this thread. Voila! Here's my album cover for essential things in rationality by the rockin’ band Network Load Balance:

Love it but having trouble putting it altogeter. But wait'll you hear "Same lack of manhood" by Koninklijke Bibliotheek.

My band seems to be a very deep and morose bunch of guys.

The web geeks have me blocked from the third link so the Thomas Heaney " much you get it " album will be reveled later tonight.

photoshop nerds have me confused with Bill Gates. Anyway, The name of the band is Shroud. Album title, Power Without Abusing It. Ironically, the photo is of this church. http://l.yimg.com/www.flickr.com/images/spaceball.gif

Let me know if Zampach needs an opener.

I think the Žampach album cover is the winner so far, but I do like the concept of bands naming themselves after court decisions.

i have no idea how to "edit the image" or include it into a post on this forum. So, the new album, "... been one of moderation", from that killer thrash metal / flamenco band known as Saverio Santora, will have to go image-less.

It took me forever to get the cover laid out for the debut release of Provost of Birmingham Cathedral which is entitled ...therefore wash them often. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to upload it to the CPF since I don't have a website to host the image. Anyway, here is the image that comprises the background for the album. upon edit: For some reason, the image didn't even show up. I've posted images hundreds of times, but this one didn't work. Maybe flickr.com is bl;ocking access as often happens with images from other sites, such as tripod.

Flickr doesn't allow you to link to images from message boards. I started a Photobucket account to host pictures I post here. PM me and I'll share the login details so you can host your pictures there too.

I think mine came out pretty good.

We should build a catalog for Crane Pool Records and see if we get any orders.
