very cool promo rock on Dr. Pepper and GNR!

Democracy Now said...

Close GunsGuy, but numbers 16 and 18 are wrong...two more icons/clues are out there...keep going!

Democracy Now said...

Here's a link to the original photo to help...

Could one of the clues be the whole picture because it is a picture in China, thus relating it to Chinese Democracy?

Anonymous said...

this is gay.

Democracy Now said...

No, the whole picture doesn't count. I'll give you a hint...Bumblefoot's guitat is hidden somewhere...that's one.

And to the poster that said, "this is gay" I love the passion man...Rock on!

Anonymous said...

i've found 16 but can't find the other two. i vote for more clues.

guns guy i thing your crazy i dont see the fucking guitar and i dont see if the world and what number 2 are you talking about? where and if that is true and the rest of us is fucking blind why nobody post anithing about you wining?

Anonymous said...

wonder what its right there means?

Democracy Now said...

it's a letter added to a sign...question...when you guys save the photo and zoom in, does it get too blurry to see anything? Cause on adobe photoshop, it's clear for me...let me know for next weeks puzzle.

Anonymous said...

yes when you zoom in you loose everything, try it in preview on windows, now you know what it is so it may be easy to see?

Anonymous said...

I dont think there is any letter

Anonymous said...

i thing i found the stupid guitar but where is if the world and the stupid number i m pissed off dfthis is fucking impossible by the way when you found all what do you do?

Anonymous said...

when you find them all post them here.... where is the letter added to a sign? if you tell me that right now I will tell you where if the world is and and easy way to find it

Anonymous said...

i take the picture to photoshop and is still blurry how the fuck are you doing it?

Anonymous said...

simple the version he made and this are 2 different sizes, so we cant see the last letter that was changed.

I vote the person with the most of them first wins, then switch pictures at the end of the week time frame, this way everyone wins including this site, GN'R and Dr. Pepper!!!!

Anonymous said...

now what are we going to do? Let someone win and go to the next pic!

Democracy Now said...

Guys, i am going to post the image again tomorrow but not shrink it down to fit the blog page...you can barely see the letter added to this sign now...but it's there. For those of you that found the bumblefoot guitar, i thought that was the hardest, so you should be able to find it...Another clue, the letter added is the same color of as the sign, the brightness is just adjusted a bit on the letter. Also, the sign is one of the colors found in the UYI album cover. If nobody gets it tonight, I will post larger image at Noon EST tomorrow.

Thanks all for playing, we're going to do one a week so there will be plenty of chances to win cool prizes.

Democracy Now said...

GUNSGUY you are right!!!! DING DING DING, we have a winner!

Washington1776, you were so close man, but that's not Finck...sorry. But I think you deserve a 2nd place prize.

Guys, was this too hard, or did you life the difficulty level? I'll keep in mind the issue with zooming in next time.

Thanks again for playing and remember, we'll be doing this every week, so remember to check back next week.

See below for winning entry.

I think that Gunsguy comment it's not right, because it's not robin on the picture beside tel sign like he told:
11 robin right beside tel sign

It's Ron Thal and his Flying V Gibson!

You win this time Gunsguy. Good call on the guitarists. I guess I should have checked my references. Google images can be a little deceiving. I liked the difficulty. It was just enough to make you have to earn the prizes. Also, because it took several days to solve, it allows many more people to give the puzzle a go. Well done, Democracy Now.
