So Taliban have banned music from Afghanistan. Once again.

Seems like they still allow those ugly guns they always proudly pose with.

This is not good.

It should be the other way around.

In this series of pictures I turned Taliban into glamorous Rockstars by replacing their ugly weapons with much cooler electric guitars and basses (and occasionally a classic guitar, an ukelele and a banjo).

(I didn’t edit any of their hands/fingers, which means that if they only gave it a chance, they already have the right moves for strumming and finger picking)

Less Guns / More Guitars

Less God / More Elvis

Less Ban and Kill / More Rock and Roll

ROCK THE CASBAH!
