Puzzle Description:

For those unaware. Going postal is when one or more people lose it. Their minds that is. People started this saying after someone lost it and gunned down some postal employees. I'm not sure if this happened in Canada or The U.S.A. It was several years ago.

This was the first major shooting: August 20, 1986, Edmond, Oklahoma: Patrick Sherrill, a part-time letter carrier, entered the Edmond Postal Office and fatally shot 14 employees and wounded six. He subsequently committed suicide.

Not familiar with the band, but I really like the puzzle. A little tricky, but not too hard.

Tricky puzzle, and enjoyable to solve. However, I can't make out the picture. The upper right and left look like computer monitors, maybe, but I can't figure out what the rest of it is supposed to be.

Those must be the amplifiers (turned up to 11, of course). Blue guy on keyboards, drum kit center, skinny-from-drugs lead singer, and the green stripe down front must be puke from a mosher. Talk about a spoiler!

OMG Bill your hilarious. Thx for making my day with some laughter. Actually gang the musicians have left and are backstage with the groupies leaving the remains of their smashed instruments waiting for the roadies to clean up. This was a 4 piece band and Bill is right about the amplifiers. The guitars were smashed over the amps and the drum kit. The Zildian cymbal now hanging inverted and the bass drum skin kicked in. The lead singer and frontman simply ripped the mic cord out and threw the stand with the mic still attached. The name of this band is Toxic Gob which is one of the first bands I played with when I was 14. :)

Oooooh. the monitors made me think of the video game called "Rock Band". I couldn't figure out how this image portrayed a bunch of gamers gone postal. Now I see it's the afterimage of an actual band having lost their minds.

Oh Ok, I see the blue smashed guitar now. Challenging but fun solve.
