What is with celebrities pretending to be metal?

[Blitzkrieg]

Hilary Duff is on Rove wearing a Motorhead shirt, with glitter and shit on it. In the Olsen twins latest film one of them is wearing a Metallica shirt. What is going on?

 

[nataservant]

Maybe some actually listen to some good music.
More bizarre things have happened.
I mean, look at the platypus!

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Possible, but unlikely.

 

[nataservant]

Yeah, you're probably right
What was I thinking?

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Who would know.

Motley Crue shirts are others I have seen on occasion.

give yourself an uppercut.

I blame that movie "Loser" or whatever it was called and the song that went with it, whatever it was called. About having two tickets to Iron Maiden, baby.

Either that or the 80's are coming back into fashion, like the 60's and 70's were a couple of years ago. As long as they stay away from the fluros everything will be aaalllll-right.

And another question. If the 80's *are* coming back, does that mean all my T-Shirts are trendy again? Or do they have to be clean and unfaded and without holes?

maybe its because women are attracted to bad boys.

And whenever you see Andy G not on Idol he's got an 80's metal shirt on. But he's allowed to, because he's apparently a metal head, and got quite excited when they played Run To The Hills on the the Triple J breakfast show for him this morning.

Holly Valance wore a Misfits shirt in one of her videos... when I saw it I had a massive tirade about celebrities wearing metal shirts because they're trendy on my blog site. It's gone now, but yeah I agree that it's fucken gay.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Yeah, but there is a difference between Andrew G wearing a Maiden shirt, and Hilary Duff wearing a Motorhead shirt with glitter on it.

I am sure that f'n Wheatus song didn't help. Stoopid song.

As much as I love the 80s, they are kind of coming back in a bad way.

At the end of the day it's all OK because the celebrities only like gay bands.

 

[Celestial-Todd]

Not always true... I've heard many stories about certain "celebrities" popping up at metal shows in the states

(I said celebrities in that way because it's really a matter of opinion)

 

[plattopus]

Like whom? I'm interested to know which celebrities I should stop hating.

 

[Connie Fixx]

Drew Carey is a huge hair metal fan but then you would know that from watching his show always having cool guests like when slash tried out for his band

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

I don't care how the 80s come back, if they do then its cool! Doesn't bother me, that was the best decade ever.

On Andrew G, he has been to Back In The Day before, drunk out of his mind, singing along to every word of Motley Crue, KISS & Judas Priest songs, and bugging the DJ to play Iron Maiden for him. He was banging his head and having a ball.

 

[dreamwatch]

You know there is a slim possibility that just a handful of these celebs actually like the music. Just because they sing shit doesn't mean to say they listen to shit.

 

[KoichCPA]

Yes, that is Jason Priestly.

 

[plattopus]

It's under one of those puffy space jackets!!

If you read the interview in last Thursday's Sun (Melbourne) you'd see that Duff infact knows nothing about music.

They basically depicted her as a complete and utter moron with no idea about anything and when asked about music she had to run to her IPOD and then listed off the bands on her ipod to say bands she likes.

This is after claiming she's really into The Smiths and then not being able to name any of their songs and then saying she likes 'those dashboard confessionals' (The band Dashboard Confessional).

If she's wearing a Motorhead shirt it's because she was told to, I doubt she's even heard Ace Of Spades no matter how huge it is.
