Wow, I guess I am not tuned in to the music industry.
I only know 3 of the above mentioned artists.

LOL … There is a fanmade custom Halo font available for download at some site, can’t remember where. But it looks like that is what they used!
I’m just a little confused why it is called a Halo 3 auction when there is only one Halo 3 themed item (the guitar, with real strings and not buttons I should add). But all for a good cause. :)
