My theory is that Jon got shafted by a farmer on this wicked deal he got on some chickens see, what had happened was the farmer misspoke, but it was still a verbal contract so when the deal went bad the farmer ended up just egging Jon in the face and giving him the boot, needless to say this didn't go over well, so naturally, Jon is burning down the chicken roost. And of course Tom and Brian have his back, Tom is still not totally sure of the plan, but hes still down, and Brian is way to hyped and is probably gonna Molotov the house and/or the barn. Thats my theory, its probably wrong though.

The meaning of this photo? Well that's simple! It's obviously a metaphor for life, love, and the pursuit of total anarchy. Brian's li'l bottle somehow represents life. Don't ask me how, because I don't know yet. Jon's match is representative of burnin' desire (and the expression on his face is just SCREAMING that). And Tom's gasoline can totally speaks for itself. The overall feel I get says something like, "We as humans are trapped in a box and if the man won't let us out, dammit, we're burnin' the fucker down!" and the coloring of the photo tells me that the person who took/edited this picture knew what he was doing.

"I've got a matchbook and a lighter, and a really bad idea.
I'll burn this place to hell, you better not kiss and tell."

So what happened was Building Rome was having a "Nightmare" so they called their "Dr. Doctor" to say that these dreams were "Haunting Me" and they were "Tired of Waking Up". The doctor said to go a place under the "Streetlights" and "Sink like an Anchor" into an "Orange Case". The boys got to claustrophobic though so Jon had the great idea to set the box on fire and to warn everyone he yelled, "Burn (Take Cover)".
the end.

It looks like the band is getting ready to engulf themselves in flames! If they can't escape, they are taking everyone down with them! The dude on the right looks like he was in top gun!

It looks like they got locked in a room and they have to light it on fire and burn their way out. Tommy is scared that his hair will be blown off..so he's unsure of the plan. Brian is worried that his penis is going to be blown to pieces...which he shouldn't have placed the bottle there. And well...Jon is ready to go. Give no fucks

I think you are burning down Rome, only to build a new one. And you just happen to be in a shack in Rome at the time of this photo. There is already a fire lit behind you, as there is a glow...and you are determing wether to let it slowly burn by throwing one match in it, throwing the bottle with the soaked towel in it, or dumping gallons of gasoline on it. personally, id go with the gasoline gallon.
Katie stole my first idea, only in a different story line.

The guys saw an ad saying that their local Costco was having a sale on flammable items. Naturally, they raced over to pick up their own "pyro kit." Having acquired the kit, they turned around to head to the check-out line only to realize they ended up getting lost in the tiny, log cabin section of the store, and must devise a plan to escape, but in the mean time, they decided to test out the pyro kit and are confused by what the outcome may be.
