A man with mid-length dark hair, wearing a black t-shirt with a square, black and white sunburst logo in the middle, and a blue pair of jeans, playing a red and black electric guitar. He is leaning back slightly, looking down at his guitar with a slightly aggressive look on his face. A camera flash has frozen him in place, with a long exposure creating movement, as well as blue or purple secondary images creating haloes of light. An orange and black amplifier is behind him in the right of the frame, with a red and chrome drum kit on the left, with black walls and ceiling beyond that.

A man with short black hair, wearing a black t-shirt bearing a large, square, white and black logo, and a pair of blue jeans, playing a white, electric bass guitar. He is bent over, leaning to his left. A flash from the camera has frozen him in place, while a long exposure and a snap zoom has left an orange aura on the left of the frame, and streaks of yellow and purple light on the right. An orange pole with several faces on it, painted and glazed to look almost organic, stands behind him, while the bands drummer can be seen in the bottom right of the frame. Dark walls and ceiling fill the rest of the frame.

A man on stage, with short dark hair, wearing a black t-shirt with an indistinct white logo and a blue pair of jeans, playing a white bass guitar. A camera flash has frozen him in place, whileca long exposure combined either flashing stage lights and his movement have created purple secondary images around his head and torso. Racks of amplifiers and speakers can be seen in the background, against black walls.

A massively over-exposed long exposure mixed with a snap zoom and an explosion of stage lights, leaving only a vague impression of what is actually there. It starts with a close-up of the head and upper body of a man with shoulder-length hair and wearing a dark t-shirt with a white text logo. His face and most of the background are blown out, massively over-exposed, along with the logo on the t-shirt, while dark areas of the image (his hair, t-shirt, and part of the ceiling behind him) are a light blue. A snap zoom out has a full length view of him, slightly hunched over, playing a guitar. Again, all details have been lost, blown out by the exposure, only blue shadows remaining.
