Males and Females

Well yeah, she is in the supreme minority of being an attractive metal performer

 

[CiG]

I get the feeling if she wasn't hot, most people wouldn't give as much of a fuck about her band.

 

[Krow]

Well I have a bone to pick with that. The woman from The Devils Blood is hideous and their albums are awesome. I'm not a big fan of her though. Much rather get with Alia O'Brien from Blood Ceremony, musically and uhmmm... Dickly.

 

[Zephyrus]

I'm not really a fan of blondes, but Jex's music is phenomenal and her voice is lovely.

 

[Mort Divine]

Great voice, middling music.

 

[KafkaX]

God damnit, the one year I don't go to MDF is the year that Cody nearly fists Jex Thoth.

 

[Nephilim96]

I think her music is better than her looks (not that she's bad looking or anything).

 

[CiG]

I remember during her set when she took off her cape, though, all the dudes started whistling and applauding.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Never heard of her.

The EP and debut are pretty amazing, no one whistled at the show I was at, but MDF is a shit crowd for overall shit metal music enjoyers

Supreme minority? If you're talking only about the women, I'd have a harder time thinking of ones who aren't attractive. Hell, it's not exactly hard to think of men who are far from ugly.

 

[CiG]

I'm not saying Jex Thoth are shit, I own their records myself, but holy fuck the hype around them is sickening sometimes.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Yeah, I fucking love their first EP (totem) and their first album, but the second one took a while to click. Still not my favorite, but solid. Kinda reminds of Ghost, assuming that the new Ghost album is as good as Circus or whatever that song is called.

 

[CiG]

I'm going to wait patiently with the new Ghost, fuck wasting my money again.

You're going to say that metal is a demographic where more attractive people play music than ugly ones?

 

[The Ozzman]

She looks average to me but that isn't a bad thing.

 

[Dak]

That's not what he said.


All of the women I can think of are average or what lots of people what deem attractive. Providing things like long hair, beards and tattoos don't put someone off then I think you can say the same for most of the male musicians too.

There's a higher proportion of ugly metal musicians than pop singers, but you can say the same about classical, jazz or rock musicians and hip hop artists.


I bet there's a study out there somewhere showing that musicians (who tend to be slightly more 'intelligent') are more attractive in general, regardless of the type of music they make.
