How tall is Simen/height in metal

[Till Fjalls]

It's of little importance, but I'll be damned if the man doesn't look like a giant! My guess is 6'4 or 6'5 ish, though my estimation skills are far from decent.

And on a side note, what is the deal with tall people and metal? There are so many metal musicans that are very tall, it almost seems like short people are excluded from metal or are somehow uncool to the image of a band...There are exceptions of course, Dani Filth, Dio, etc...But they are the minority it seems. Any ideas on where this stereotype(fact?) stems from?

Maybe it's just all in my head, seeing as how I'm not tall....

 

[bleed for me]

maybe he just looks tall coz the other members are short or because of the long black trenchcoats?

i think he is little shorter. imho 192-195 cm anyway, the highest musican is Dlugi (guitar) from polish brutal death metal band AZARATH and melodic death ENTER CHAOS. he is fucking tall - 210 cm or higher...

What about ToN's Pete Steel.... Not only is he tall (6"6') he's built like a brick shithouse, hence the deep voice I guess

He looks like he plays guitar when he stands there holding his double bass (as in the classical instrument) too! He lifts it as easily as if it were a violin

Maybe it's a bassist/singer thing.

Isn't Tyr pretty tall too? I think he is...So is Horgh. He should become a wrestler!!! He's a monster!

 

[Sadistik]

I met Horgh, and he's not THAT tall....fat, yes...tall, not really......


I met Oystein and Simen in 99 though and they were DAMN tall (or so it seemed to me...I was only 17, and about 2 inches shorter...soooo)

Something I have notivced at UM, mainly male care about how a musician look like and noticing first, when things have changed etc... this makes me thinking...

I mean I often hear the stupid phrase "females are only into particular music, because the musician look good" (I guess those males coming up with such phrase are pure jealous...)
I will send them all to UM just to see how wrong they are...

 

[Blackspirit]

Lol! Nice observation Morgie! >)
But you can't deny there are some hot hunks
in metal! And you KNOW you like watching
them! >P hehehe...

All these um men are partially gay, or at least
bi-curious! That's the reason! hehehe...

 

[Morgana]

I hardly claim a human ugly, because it is all a matter of taste and I'm that kind of person who sees beauty in everything and everyone, but I do not discussed it like most male here
Nor do I bother about how tall someone is...

Music was my first love...

 

[Qu Appelle]

You know - did we ever get a definitive answer to this burning question?

 

[Undefined]

Why is everyone bumping all these old threads, is it some kind of practical joke or something?
