No, I could give a fuck. I worship Nomeansno (GRANDPAS!!). I actually prefer when musicians look gay, and old, and plain, and shit (though I mostly don't care).
We're not talking about me, or you.

We're talking about "the metal-listening public" or something.
Now tell me more about this empirical evidence I'm supposed to be looking at, because you lost me there.
As far as putting my randoms in bands, that is, was, and, has been exactly my fucking point!! People who don't have the right look generally don't get into successful metal bands! Look at musician's want ads: established, successful metal bands ask for things like "talent, drive, attitude, and looks". And if they don't say it, Charlie will still not get the gig no matter how killer he is!
You can't put Charlie in Suffocation! Or God Forbid! You just can't!
Where can you put him? Maybe if he had a makeover?
