Default Can I get some pimps' opinions?

I just finished a preliminary image for my XRadio bio page and wanted to get some opinions on it.
My show will be called Court of Chaos because even I do not know what I will play next as far as genres go.

Dammmm, no critical comments Jonny? Are you sick?
Thanks for the quick responses, I didn't expect that.
3 ayes so far means I will probably go ahead and use it, at least temporarily.

maybe its my monitor..but the center part of the graphic in the background looks a little dark. Other than that it is awesome.

I wish I had your skills. Great WORK!!

I thought it a little busy. Seems somewhat cluttered, like you went just a little too far with PS filters. I would simplify the background a little, I like the other graphics.

Thanks for the critique BA, I am surprised that yours is the only somewhat "negative" response. Trust me folks, I CAN take constructive criticism.
As for being "busy" as you put it BA, I did it that way intentionally to kinda fit the name. It is, after all the Court of Chaos.
I have been contemplating changing the background already though as I think it distracts the eye somewhat from the focus of the picture, maybe if I turned down the opacity of the background it would help without changing too much.
As for the filters, I only used them on the text but was basically just testing out some new ones I got recently.
I would recommend to those that haven't tried it yet the "vision of Ezekial" filter. That is the one that appears to give the main text some texture but looks really different on larger areas of coverage. If anyone is interested on that particular filter just let me know.

EDIT: Thanks for all the positive responses too!

Looks cool , but like BA said I little to busy...something you would see on an acid trip. I like things with a cleaner industrial look. ThatÂ’s my honest opinion

I like it. But that center image is a little too dark to me, and I agree with BA, a little bit too "busy"

It may be a little busy, but that's the whole point, as the man said.

You know....CHAOS! Get it?

Very nice work, godfoot.

Well it makes me think of the 60's psychedelic era, and the globe in the hat looks like it should be world of chaos.

Still looks cool none the less.
