Fascinating: The Average Faces of Rock

April 5, 2015 Alan Cross 0 Comments 0 min read

West Coast Shaving is, well, a shaving company, which means they know a thing or two about men’s faces. After several shots of tequila (obviously) someone in the company came up with an interesting concept: “What it look like if we ‘Shopped all the faces of the members of a band into one image? What would the ‘average’ face be for that band?”

Here’s what they came up with for U2: Bono + Edge + Adam + Larry = This.

Here’s the resulting image from combining all the visages of Radiohead. Still the tiniest droop of an eye.

Now let’s try Nirvana.

There are 26 more such works at The Huffington Post. (Oh, and the featured image? That’s Pearl Jam.)
