Stuff's worst "metal" album covers

[Unfaithfully Metalhead]

I think the first three (hence the trilogy) were his best ever. Some magic was found later in "Facing The Animal" and "Alchemy" but the beginning was brilliant and like Bryant said it turned a lot of people into the guitar-hero and shredding guitar metal (what later was known as "neo-classical" metal ).

'Disciples Of Hell' kicks even Satan ass

NP: Lacuna Coil - 'Self Deception'

Psssst in my opinion Randy Rhoads did that first and garnered alot of guitar fans that copied or tried to copy him.. if he didn't die so early he would of done more... but the writing was on the wall with such songs as Diary of a Madman, Revelation Mother Earth, etc...

Those pantera album covers where great I don't think they should be considered the worst metal albums covers

 

[Wheezer]

Hey.... I am coming with shotgun in hand to find you !! I think it is awesome...

I'll be coming after you with my .357 for calling W.O.W. butt ugly. That's just so wrong.

 

[Wyvern]

Wendy wasn't ugly just outrageous. And she was dear to Lemmy so she's high in the ranks...now Lemmy is butt ugly

NP: Liege Lord - Wielding Iron Fists

 

[rokk]

One of the better KISS album covers 3 KISS members appeared on the album!

 

[Bryant]

...and you're a VP raging fanboy..... There IS a connection there, and it AIN'T good!

J-Dubya

I am damned proud of it too. Vanden Plas consistantly releases top quality music. They also have a syle that clicks with me and I am proud fanboy. Any questions old man ?

Compared to Lemmy she wasn't ugly, but only Udo and Steve Grimmett can top Lemmy in the ugliest frontman contest. Dude...... she was butt ugly. Nice body.... but it looked like someone beat her with an ugly forest.

Kind of funny that Poison made "best" and "worst" Top 10 ratings.

 

[desert_demon]

Holy crap! Those cover are pretty bad. But I'm sure we all can name many more covers that put those to shame when it comes to cheesy-ness. The Poison one has to be the worst of the lot, and yes, I also thought they were chicks when I first saw it. The Manowar one is totally cheesey and gay, but then again, so are almost ALL of their album covers.

She's not as ugly as Sharon and way sexier than her (or the mutant daughter)

I'm quickly losing count of how many noogies I owe you come September. I may have to postpone some of those for next year to avoid giving you a concussion.

I wear my Bonded By Blood t-shirt proudly! It may be unusual artwork but I like it, always have, always will...

And the worst goes to

NP: Rick Wakeman - 'One In The Eye'

 

[METAL GOD]

I didn't care for FLOTSAM & JETSAM, "When the Storm Comes Down". The whole cd blows chunks... artwork and music...

Hey that's my job. The noogie thing is copywrited by me and about 400,000 3rd graders. You can't be talking about that stuff without sending me money.

Ha ha ha ha LMFAO !! That is a killer band, but that is one goofy ass cover. I don't know why it didn't pop up in my mind first.

Sabotage gets a lot of thumbs down from folks, but I have to admit I like it! The whole backs-to-the-mirror thing....but with their faces coming out of the mirror is kinda spooky. I don't know, I've just never gotten what people hate about it (though I think it's the clothes!)

There is a scene in Dolores Claiborne (the movie) where one of the characters is kind of freaking out....and she looks in a mirror and sees the back of her head.....and while that's just an okay movie, that scene was creepy as all get out. So, I kinda see this cover that way....

 

[Wyvern]

(though I think it's the clothes!)

IT IS!

The mirror idea is great both in spooky terms as you mentioned and as the sabotage thing, but the clothing killed the glamour
