This is damn funny.....
http://ruthlessreviews.com/top10/10blackmetal.html
Nice Link Sandy, that bought a smile to me face, on this grey wet UK day! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
That was awesome!!!!!! I was laughin my ass off. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
They're pretty funny huh?
I dare say they do the same to how we look, but I'm sorta shaking my head here.
I guess I have just seen too much Death Metal and Black Metal to find the pictures all that funny. I was expecting to see pictures I may not have seen before that were different, but go to any Black Metal site, and there you will see those pictures.
Also, having read Lords Of Chaos, and knowing so many people in those scenes, I don't find too much funny about it.
kinda run of the mill pictures, nothing out of the ordinary there. that's just part of the black metal stitch. just like wearing pink blush, teasing your hair up for miles and puckering your lips is what glam rock is. as Gav said, i'm sure people are saying the same thing right now about pictures of poison, cinderella, motley crue, etc......
and:
"Dani from Cradle of Filth comes in 4th only because he is so incredibly gay" that just ruins all credibility that the writer and the page had.
plus you would think if they knew anything about it they would have included a picture of Mortiis in there somewhere.
I'm with Carl...I own lots of Black Metal...and this Top 10 Pics was like me watching Monty Python...Not a laugh nor crack of smile.
Also, "Ridiculous"...was the word used....Look at some of the glam bands....HaHaHa....I can name a lot that looked Stupid...LMFAO!!!
lol I thought that was pretty funny stuff. hehe
Well, at least we don't carry around battle axes and weapons of that sort. LMFAO!!! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
<font size="4" face="Arial">Cool that we agree, but please don't bag on Monty while you do agree with me. There isn't a single thing on this planet that could compare with them then or now. Only thing better than MP Flying Circus is Fawlty Towers.Quote:

But now, back to that site, if you get a chance, check out some of the other stuff there! That is actually a VERY funny and well written site, plus the guy DOES know his Metal, Death Metal, and Black Metal and even has a Top 8 Black Metal albums ever list. He loves the stuff, it appears. And I did go back and read the stuff, and the top pic with the fly open is actually pretty fucking funny!
I'm shocked that Raggz would defend these guys figuring that almost each and every one of them is the spitting image of Gene Simmons. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Black metal bands have never been, are not and will never be ridiculous in their looks but all the contrary... they look very coold. Check out the best: BEHERIT at http://www.beherit.tk
Where did you see the video?
FOR CARL
I saw it on Headbangers Ball around '95, recently downloaded the MPEG from either EMule or WinMX
BUT, just had a quick look on the net and they have a WMV file of it to download (only about 3 meg so quality isn't too grand)

<font size="4" face="Arial">(time to use a word I never use) Dude, the evil guys fly is down in the first picture! Thats fucking funny! That's like Anton Levay going to make a big ol' grand scary speech and slipping on a fucking bananna peel! It's hard to have any mystique and scary side to you when your fly is down and your dong is about to fall out!Quote:

I'm sorry, but that is fucking funny. I also found Black Metal VERY funny (and horrible) until I started listening to more of the bands, and I read that fucking book. But still, one of the funniest guys I have ever met is a friggin' Black Metal guy.

The old vocalist/bassist. He was also in a band called Sarcophogous. The guy is a nut job.
But yeah, some of these guys scare me (such as Varg, though his recent jailbreak was fucking hysterical), but if you are not familiar with the scene, it is a joke.
It takes a lot of guts to diss these so-called
oujii board-botherers. If their press is
to be believed, they'd steal the eyeballs from
out of their grandmother's sockets if it meant
further Satanic approval.
The reviewer writes: 'And don't wear your own band's
t-shirt to the fucking photo shoot dude, that's just
a metal fopaux.'
'Fopaux'? We must assume the reviewer is a member
of the text message generation, and 'faux pas'
has long been considered too much of a hassle
to type out? [img]wink.gif[/img]

I appreciate some of the image if done with a little class. Can sometimes look quite cool and dramatic.
Then again, some of them, who's names I can't decipher from their overcomplicated logos, drag it into parody.
I must admit though, Immortal's video for "Blashhryyk" is the best advert for tourism to Norway I ever seen. Looks absolutely beautiful!
