Image matters naught when it comes to music. I saw a King Crimson DVD from '84 and they looked ridiculous. Adrian Belew was wearing a silly dress and kept smiling with his crooked teeth and Tony Levin looked like he belonged in the Village People and Robert Fripp looked like a middle aged school teacher. Bill Bruford wasn't that weird looking though. I didn't mind, because the music was so incredible.

king crimson :kickass: :kickass: :kickass: :kickass: :kickass: :kickass: :kickass: :kickass: :kickass:

in the court of the crimson king = masterpiece

All due respect: bullshit.

Some genres are more forgiving than others; metal is among the most demanding (see Dave's "macho" comment above).

How often do you hear some band looks gay, or "What is he wearing??!" :lol: I read that shit on these boards all the time! You can "get away with" a lot more if you're in (DIY) punk, or indie, or old guy stuff if you're Robert freaking Fripp....
 
Okay, so which band do YOU think Wade there would fit into? (I Googled "Wade", but it could be any of several of the hundreds of millions who just are missing... something... to play in an A, B, or C list metal band.)

What you obviously cannot comprehend and sorry if I sound harsh, is that the thread turned into "ATTRACTIVENESS (AKA LOOKS not LOOK" matters in metal.. When in fact it DOESN'T!

I would agree that a "look" is required in some metal bands (retarded), ala long hair etc.

Let me say this again for you though "LOOKS DO NOT MATTER IN METAL, A LOOK in some bands DOES, but the thread is about LOOKS"

Obviously if you read the other posts you would have gotten that it was about attractiveness/sexiness not a certain look.
 
Well probably because going to a stripclub makes you look more desperate rather than going to a concert which is more "fun".

So "fun" even when you don't like their music? And going to the concert you don't even get to see any nudity >.>

Nonetheless retarded reason for going to a concert lol.

Nice evasion. Look back at my posts (which you were responding to). I never said it was about being good-looking; any dolt can see that Lemmy and Udo are not model material. I said things like:
"The right "look" is essential, stupid though that may be."
and
"You think some band like say Tristania would hire a a guitarist if he was chubby and balding and basically your average schmoe??"

Looks matter.

Moving on... :rolleyes:

To rip your name from you (Go take a look at Dee Snyder in a dress with makeup) and come back and tell me looks matter rofl..

I'd wager 90% of the people who listen to metal listen to XXX band because of the music not because they have long hair or have 50 tatoos on their body.. Shall I make a poll asking this question

"How many bands do you listen to because of the music, and how many do you listen to because of "looks"

A. 90% Looks 10% music
B. 75% looks 25% music
C. 50% looks 50% music
D. 30% looks 70% music
E. 15% looks 85% music
F. 5% looks 95% music
G. 0% looks 100% music

Shall we see what the results would be?
 
The majority of the guys I know that like Epica and want to see them live do not like them because of their music. Their music is, in fact, quite mediocre compared to other acts. It's primarily because they want to see Simone bounce around in a corset.

>_> I don't like Epica but I would pay money to see her do that :Smokin:

EDIT:

G. 0% looks 100% music

Epica doesn't count because I don't listen to their music, just stare at Simone :p

he's not saying that the looks are more important than the music

he's saying that you have to have at least somewhat of a tough/macho look to be in a metal band

could you take a black metal band seriously that was made up of 50 year old fat balding men??
 
I started listening to Moonsorrow because I thought some of the members were really sexy. :cry:

But I continued listening because of the music, damnit!

You think the frontman being a big fat black guy with dreads would be in a popular band? Ala God Forbid and the other member in the band a bald black guy? Playing metal?! Oh Noes.... Stereotypes plz I need them...

FOR THE LAST TIME LOOKS DON't MATTER, and the only look << that is essential is long hair...

I understand who Dee Snider is. :Smug:

Let's say Wade ^^^ had been Sister's singer. How well do you think that would have worked for them??

You never answered my question: Which metal band do you think Wade would fit into well. I don't know if the guy's good-looking or not....

A poll about why UMD people listen to music? Most of them would probably be pretty loathe to admit they consider looks. Doesn't mean it ain't so. Take a look at, hey, the social thread right now, and the reactions to Motley Crue's bathtub shot.

Not so much with the social sciences, are ya?? :lol:

Let me ask you this, you think that if ... Alexi Laiho looked like him, that CoB wouldn't be as popular? Its all about the damn music man, when im driving in my car listening to Shade Empire or whoever, I'm not thinking about what they look like, or if their looks INFLUENCE me into listening to them... Your arguement is so absurd.

P.S. I never said you didn't know who Dee Snyder was lol >.>
