Promo Pictures 2006

No, but a deviation from what was once considered an honest/artistic photo shoot on prior albums (in comparison to the corporate slut photo's most mainstream bands shoot) does leave an ominous void in ones mind...especially if they are your favorite band :loco:
 
First of all let me keep my illusion of being provocative and say that I love both St. Anger and Touch Of Red.

Now then, as an artist who relishes neatly shot promo pics, I must say that these pics do not equal orgasm. But It doean't have any consequence for my enjoyment of the rest of the Opeth-experience.
 
pretty funny pics lol. i could have sworn axe's place had been taken by legolas in one of them.:lol: :lol:
 
yep, I agree - pretty boring pics. too bad. They should have taken Anna as the photographer. but then again, we're just talking about some promo pics here. not really important, imho. the most important pic is yet to come - the one on the cover of the new album!
 
alright...

cool promo pic, eh?

now a new one -

who are they? freakin gangsters?

All promo pics up to the RR involvement were cool. These new ones are ridiculously fucking gay. Really. Mike looks like he has a fucking rapper style-beanie on or something. That stupid point the camera up from below shit is SO overdone, and they look like they'd have sore eyes from looking at the ground for song long while keeping their heads level. G-A-Y!
 
Lol i dunno about you guys, but all i really give a shit about is them making good music, not what the fuck they look like. Mikael could be (no means of offence here) a black, bald, gangsta looking short, fat guy, as long as he still made good music. Why the fuck should it matter?

agreed.. ppl get all pissed off about bands when they apparantly "sell out" and shit, and many reasons for bands selling out is that they become more and more immersed with the media.. fuck they are musicians that are making music in which the sole purpose is for fans to listen to what they create. What a band looks like has no effect on what the band produces.

I personally dont give a shit what they look like either.. and im sure the only reason y the band got new promo pix was b/c they have 2 new members and needed something to give to roadrunner.. Chill the fuck out! They are meaningless pictures and really shouldn't necessitate such violent outbursts such as buddy 3 posts above crying about them being "gay"... sounds like that guy has some social insecurities that needs dealing with...
 
I'm convinced after reading this post that 95% of the people who post here are fucking idiots.

Please someone prove me wrong by someone locking this post or bitch-slapping the dumbasses who think a promo picture makes them sell out.

I swear my brain farted as I read some of these replies. Holy shit.
