Fuck yeah, seeing as this was my idea, I'm all for it. It'd be funny to see the guys not take themselves too seriously and have a bit of fun :). It'd be a good expansion on the whole rumoured 'black metal' thing.
 
Exactly, Moonlapse has it right, i dont want them to start wearing chain-mail, spikes gallore and burning churches even though i wouldnt mind the burning the of the churches thing, i just wanted to see them in it live next tour. I bet they think its funny and if u think im a moron for thinking it ur insulting the band cos they have done it b4. Fuck guys, they would prolly want something different from normal stuff apart from the music.....i dont want a poser pair of satan loving, porcupines on stage, i just want two latino dudes to maybe chuck some corpse paint on and play some non-cock loving, non-steve wilson influenced, on the verge of black metal Opeth MUSIC :hotjump:
 
Corpse paint is not for opeth or really any band. Who needs an image to sell records. Before you say Opeth promotes a certain image they are normal people and dont need the clown paint like Asgeir from Borknagar calls it.
Anyway am proud that I dont listen to clown paint bands.

So let me get this straight....

You don't let a band's image affect whether or not you think their music is good BUT you don't listen to bands who wear corpsepaint for that reason?

That makes no sense.
 
It makes all the sense. I actually don't listen to any band at all that has clown paint on and it isnt because of this reason. It just happens to be I don't like the music behind those bands anyway. Lucky me eh? So to answer your question there are NO good bands with clown paint that play any music in my particular tastes and to be totally honoust it makes me laugh when people take those bands seriously. If Opeth put that cp on I would still listen to them but I wouldnt take it all too seriously but that depends on what music they play. If it was straight out BM then I would kiss it goodbye.

Thats a pretty general statement. Corpsepaint is an important part of black metal. You dont have to like black metal, but taking something illogical seriously is not uncommon. Just look at the church. Euronymous died for his beleif that black metal should stay extremely underground. Here's a quote of his.

Euronymous said:
Black Metal is so extreme that not anyone can get into it. This isn’t any funny hobby which stupid kids shall have after they comes home from school. It has always been a lot of cliches in metal, and not even the metal society has taken it seriously. When it then comes someone who is serious about what they are doing, everyone is shocked. Black Metal is meant to be serious, not because other shall take us seriously, but because we are serious.
 
Why would the band start doing something just for the sole purpose of "humor". If i want comedy I turn fucking seinfeld on. If i want serious music I listen to opeth. Theirs enough shitmusic in the world to get a chuckle out of. Leave the humor to tenacious d. Fucking eh! How about they just wear clown masks seeing as that would be alot easier to put on? Change the band's name to slippeth and have em headline on the next headbangers ball tour! Fucking idiot! This is worse than another melinda thread!
 
Euronymous was a nut case that just happened to be into metal.
He gave metal a bad name and so did the Norwegian BM scene with all the killings and church burnings. As far as I understand that is not a part of music mmmm?
To be totally honoust I think that they were more towards rap music in their images and what they were doing for the said music than for metal. So what if they are extreme. There are a lot of bands more extreme than Mayhem that don't do it for image but for music which is what my point originally was all about. If corpse paint IS black metal then I want nothing to do with it. So to any BM people who hate slipknot or rap (of which I can't stand)for image then you better look in the mirror.
I feel a flame coming on from all you troo bm warriors hehe
