Have you ever wondered how many degrees of separation there are between these guys

and these guys?

Well, wonder no more!

I've built a website that will let you plug in any two bands from the Metal Archives and find out how many degrees of separation are in between them! So long as you spell their names exactly right!

For the record, the answer to the question posed above is 4.

BEHOLD! The 90’s TV Dad Molecule

Seven actors all connected together in three movies or less, without using John Ratzenberger (who connects three of them via Pixar).

I also discovered afterward that John Goodman, Jon Lithgow, and Joan Cusack (who was also in Toy Story 4) were all in Confessions of a Shopaholic together, but I didn’t know that at the time, so it doesn’t count. I did it without it.

The Star Wars version on 'Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon' is:

Six Degrees of Hondo Ohnaka

Somedays, I feel that I belong nowhere, to no one. I pour myself out, watering others until I'm drained. Yet, I'm just a stranger belonging only to myself.

You know, I remembered something the other day and it got me thinking…

I have a very close friend who fucked Marilyn Manson backstage after a concert. MM is supposedly really good friends with Johnny Depp, who is obvi friends with Izzy.

That makes my friend practically Izzy’s wife. Six degrees of separation and all that. 🤔

Forget six that's like two degrees

guys guys guys give me two random people (with at least some fame) and ill connect them whether it be movies, collabs, relationships

basically six degrees of separation except instead of trying to get it in the least amount of connections i'll probably just make fun connections

Repeat after me:

Just 👏🏻 because👏🏻 you 👏🏻like👏🏻 a👏🏻 celebrity👏🏻 doesn't👏🏻 mean👏🏻 they👏🏻 get👏🏻 a👏🏻 pass👏🏻 for👏🏻 the👏🏻 horrible👏🏻 people👏🏻 they👏🏻 surround👏🏻 themselves👏🏻 with.👏🏻

And HERE is why.

Being a fan doesn't mean you blindly follow and support everything your favorite artist does or says. Remember that being silent about big things happening is a way to express their points of views and beliefs.

Six degrees of separation (six handshakes rule) with Hansol Vernon Chwe (member of kpop group SEVENTEEN) and Viktor Tsoi - whos sharing the same surname

I recently compiled a list of every band on the Metal Archives, along with all of their members, and made a script to play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon with the data.

Things I have found out.

The most popular name for a metal band is "Nemesis"

The most popular two-word name for a metal band is "Rigor Mortis"

The band name worth the most words in it is "Paladins of the Golden Power Fights with the Great Sword of Eternal Magic and the Great Kings Will"

A little over 115,000 out of the roughly 177,000 bands on Metal Archives can be connected to one another when you consider which bands share which musicians (either as part of lineups on albums or in live performances).

The furthest distance I've seen between two bands is between Final Stage, a melodic death metal band from Vietnam, and Sentir, a metal band from Argentina. The list of the connections needed to link the two is in the image above.

A new tag game? Wow!

Okay, so, the rules are simple.

You reblog. You then tag two (2) people: one mutual you and prev share, and one mutual you and prev do not share.

Tags are always open, of course. You don’t have to be tagged to reblog! This is mostly a fun way to get to know our mutual-in-laws.

That’s it! So, have fun, I guess.

You can check here to find the Bacon number of someone you know (or someone that someone you know knows) and figure out how many degrees of separation you are from Kevin Bacon.
