Name a good band that projects a ridiculous image.

[Cutter]

Prodigy...hmm, maybe not. Do techno bands count?

 

[Bleakest Harvest]

I can't believe no one mentioned Akercocke! Great band, ridiculous 'satanists in suits' image:

 

[Wigeon]

Avenged Sevenfold. Saw them on Headbangers Ball recently, pretty good music, they look silly though.

 

[Wigeon]

Also, no one mentioned In Flames. Anders looks, acts, and sounds like that Korn poser these days. Thier latest album is OK. Better than Reroute anyways, but they need to lose Anders I'm afraid.

 

[Land Of Grey And Pink]

so lets do a re-cap of this thread...


Suits are silly
makeup is silly
baggy clothes (or comfortable clothes) are silly
matching uniforms are silly
emo/hardcore look is silly
costumes are silly
armor and chainmail is silly...



so what exactly should a band wear in order to not have a "rediculous image"?

 

[Biddinger]

Black, flared pants and black button-down shirts.

 

[Wigeon]

How about t-shirt and jeans or shorts? Work shirt? Pants that fit? Pretty much anything except the things you listed I guess.

 

[x3x opeth x2x]

Avenged Sevenfold. Saw them on Headbangers Ball recently, pretty good music, they look silly though.

avenged sevenfold look like perfectly normal kids just because they have spiky hair doesnt mean they are dressed ridiculously

 

[Land Of Grey And Pink]

i just saw pictures of them on a review site...and Avenged sevenfold look like the average metalcore band. i dont see why they stand out enough to even mention in this thread.

 

[IcedMadness]

what about Hammerfall? The fucking rock but come one man, dragons, steel, battles and glory. It's like your average power metal but the only thing different about them is that I've seen only them live and they dress the part of "power metal"

 

[synergy]

I'd have to say Evergrey because they all look a little fruity...and the lead singer has the biggest forehead ever. Good music though.

 

[Land Of Grey And Pink]

Evergrey? "big forhead" is an image now?


alright, thats it, lol


id say opeth has a funnier looking image if were going to comment on facial features (your forehead comment)...

Mendez the "bass troll"
Peter the lanky mountain man
Mikael the bearded lady
and Lopez the don juan de Stockholm

[Necramentia]

pretty much any black metal, not really today's, but years back...Emperor with the medieval satanic thing, dimmu with the overly exerted satanism, immortal with the riding horses to battle thing, i would say mayhem but where their image was completely stupid, they did some interesting things...but above all (he's not really that good, but for the sake of mentioning lame images, it's obligatory) mortiis.

 

[Lament of the Moon]

Dimmu Borgir... i just dont get that look. but i dig the tunes

 

[Reign in Acai]

I'd have to say Evergrey because they all look a little fruity...and the lead singer has the biggest forehead ever. Good music though.

Do you want Tom to go on the Swan? Would that make you feel better about the band? Maybe they can give him a forehead reduction?

Couldn't agree with you more, Cheese to the max & i dislike there music.

Anyone read metal maniacs? there is an ad that a band named Pentaface sent in thats hillarious. who knows if they are any good but they take the clown face black metal look REALLY seriously. its great.

 

[DwnTurn]
