Sickening...

[Hammer of Might]

Why is it that comparetively (or even as they are in many cases) great bands wear shirts of really shitty bands??

e.g.

- Sauron of Decapitated is wearing a Slipknot shirt in several promo shots
- I'm pretty sure the member of Immolation second from right in this photo is wearing a Slipknot top as well (may be wrong in this case):

So yeah, they're actually the only examples I can find, lol. And just one band - Slipknot. But.......sickening nonetheless, no?

It's most likely because Slipknot payed them.

Well, Ross Dolan of Immolation did say in one interview he likes Slipknot

Also, Slipknot spend alot of time championing Immolation and Deicide.

Who cares? The band's still play decent music. It doesn't really matter if they like shitty bands.

I just listened to the Slipknot song Pulse of the Maggots (new, I think) - it is hideous! It's actually funny in a way.

Sickening, sickening...

I guess we can't ALL be concerned with keeping up a METAL image like you are.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Who the hell cares.

 

[Raumien]

And I'm a fan of Simon & Garfunkel, Enya and Yanni.

oh yes, whenever someone has a negative comment about the activities of a metal band, he is attempting to keep up a metal image.

 

[SlaughterofSoul]

Who cares? As long as it doesn't infect their music, I could care less.

 

[Demiurge]

Shouldn't it be "I couldn't care less"?

 

[Chasm]

Is it my imagination or do metalheads who claim to hate Slipknot spend more time keeping tabs on the band than their actual fans do?

 

[Chasm]

Oh, and on topic, if something a band does or an article of clothing a band member wears "sickens you", you need a fucking life.

Well said.

No, not really.

 

[Chopstick up the Peehole]

*gasp* He was wearing a Slipknot shirt!?!?! Their music must suck!!




Wait, hang on.....Decapitated suck regardless of their fashion preferences.

 

[Episteme]

Wow...how subtle. I like Decapitated.

 

[Hammer of Might]

Some good responses. I wasn't actually "sickened", just wanted to get the general opinion on it! Entertaining though.

 

[R.I.P.2]

Yes, I can't believe how many people write "I could care less".
