I thought this was just going to be a boring collection of guitarface images, but it is so so much more.

Regular sized slugs, guitarists just tend to be really tiny. They look bigger up on stage.

I just realized these are by the same person who did the Ignore Hitler series in Draw Something, discussed here previously.

Rats, I just realized the perfect response to this would have been "so you're taking these with a grain of salt?" #espritdescargot

This is great. My wife started a similar Tumblr with the cream of a facebook group she started: Hungry Hungry Musicians.

In the case of Carlos Santana, this is technically known as his "The Pain of the Universe in In My Guitar - Face". I don't think he could play a note without making that face; at least not one of his trademark two-bars-plus-a-dotted-quarter-note bends.
Here he is at Woodstock | 45 years ago this month | making that same face.
And if you ever had any doubt, the "Pain of the Unverse Is Also in My Maracas"!

Well, it's no BassDogs...
But slugs? I'd guess Sluggo would have an opinion...

I think presupposing the slug ignores those like David Gilmour who look like they've just smelled something really awful when they solo.

Oh, man, there's a local musician we love but whom we've been (affectionately) mocking since the first time we saw him. "You gonna make that much guitar-face, you better play that much guitar!"

Dang.. This comes only two days after the Blueberry Arts Festival, the big public summer celebration in the little town in which I live. The festival already includes both slug-related events and a "battle of the bands." I definitely have to put this forward as evidence that next year those events should be combined.
