I´m thinking "Why Not Stop The Extremely Stupid Posts" By FTOESP (Fans Tired Of Extremely Stupid Posts), with the backflip on their only known single "I Wish They Just Shut UP, They Got Nothing To Say", this is highly collectable, and extremely Stonesrelated.
(I couldn't help noticing that Vilhelm used horns in his logo. It's a popular image - horns on Viking helmets - must have some origin in fact? Weren't the gods depicted as having wings on their helmets?)
Hi again; Since I´m a Historian in weekdays I could sort some things out. Vikings never wore horns on helmets; but thay drank from horns - theres the arena for confusion. The national romantic artits painted Gods with horns in mid-and late 1800´s; that´s where the horn got stuck in our minds. More often the Goths (whoever they were) is said to have been wearing horned helmets (during battle) & I believe the Merovings and/or the Franks during ab time 600- -700´s (AD) could use horns, as well as the Gaulois (not the cigarette trade mark), Celtics, that is - that´s where we find comic strip hero Asterix. ...This not being my main field, I´m sure you could more detailed accounts on this; but this may be a decent introduction on the horn-or nonhorn-discussion
...NSV only go beserk (bärsärk) at Stones concerts; if I´d guess.
Goths, Franks and VisiGoths and Huns etc. all 'southern' Germanic tribes (compared to 'northern' scandinavian Germanic tribes). The (southern) Germanic tribes walloped (whalloped?) the Romans. The Romans walloped the Celts - but not in Ireland.
Oh - and the Vikings had a bloody good go at walloping everyone they could lay their hands on - including the Celts in Ireland.
