I decided...(Black Metal opinion)[views:2991][posts:27]____________________________________________ [Nov 22,2007 4:11am - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] I've decided that wearing corpse paint, wearing armor and all that is cool in album art and pictures but don't ever do it on stage. You look pathetic. |

| ____________________________________________ [Nov 22,2007 5:00am - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] Haha I think Autopsy is overreacting. Don't forget that I love Black Metal, dude. It would be hard for me though to go to a Black Metal show and not laugh at the dudes in makeup. That's the one thing about this genre that I don't understand. Is it necessary to look like Kiss or Insane Clown Posse? |
| ________________________________ [Nov 22,2007 8:09am - Ryan_M ""] Corpsepaint has been lame since the early 90's. It was originally supposed to make the wearer look like a corpse, or like he was ready for battle in a war. Soon it just became trendy; everyone who wanted to play black metal music had to wear it and pose like an idiot in the woods. I think Immortal is the only black metal band that, if they stopped wearing their corpsepaint, it would be a step down for them. |
| ____________________________________________ [Nov 22,2007 9:12am - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] I agree. Immortal without corpse paint makes no sense but the trend as a whole looks like Hot Topic was a store in the early 90's. |

I've seen local bands that can't play for shit live, but that is not enough to suggest that no band should play live. Look at Watain, they pull it off just right. They look awesome, and there's nothing wrong with a band looking like they belong on the stage, and different from anyone sitting at the bar. [img] [img] (they threw blood in his face) [img] Plus, I remember the club was very heavy on only Red Lighting, which made the show look even better. The Rev's flash cut through that - so it does not come across in the photos. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 22,2007 10:19am - immortal13 ""] I think Behemoth is able to pull it off pretty nicely too, cuz they don't overdo it. |

Then, along with the article they have "hot babes in corpse paint" :nuke: |
| ________________________________ [Nov 22,2007 10:37am - Troll ""] I say spare us the theatrics and play some music. I'm starting to really dislike the live experience. Its lame vaudville entertainment for a bunch of zit faced horn throwing sheep and antique scenesters willing to pay an arm and a leg for a dixie cup of flat beer. I say the book is always better than the movie. Crawl in your cave and listen to your music in solitude. |

Listen to the Evermörk ep "Astral Forest Winds" which is really good work of art and then look at that pic. Its the guitarist Stephan..........Terrible. I found it on there blog. All along I've been telling Jeremy from Oak Knoll ,"I think they might be a bunch of highschool kids". My intuition served me right. Stephan must have become a flower child or something?!?! Not sure. That explains why they never record a full-lenght for Oak Knoll. Too bad so sad. Seriously I really don't care what people wear, but when they cheese out of doing what they do best I think that sucks. |

I say the book is always better than the movie. Crawl in your cave and listen to your music in solitude. On the one hand, I totally relate to this - I'm a fucking hermit, for the most part, and I enjoy my own company. All the same, I do peek out for a show here and there. As far as the corpsepaint goes, you just really can't half-ass it. You're either full-on decked out for war, or you look a bit silly. Bands that do a good job of it, I feel it enhances the show; bands that just do it as an afterthought, or because "you're supposed to," it totally detracts from the show. YMMV. Also, for what it's worth, I totally own a pair of Jesus joggers; sometimes I don't feel like going out to get the mail or whatever in bare feet, and it's faster than hunting down a pair of un-crunchy socks. Besides, I have to wear something on my feet when my girlfriend drags me to the beach. Not on stage, though - fuck. That's just sad. |

You and your pals couldn't take over an elementary school, let alone the world. No one's afraid of guys who wear makeup, please never listen to our album again...we are embarrassed that you like us." Haha...I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with the Corpse paint thing...I just think that's funny. |

I feel the same way about shows lately, I always feel so bored, even when the band is playing. I have short hair so headbanging is out; I think moshing is gay and I haven't thrown the horns in I don't know how long. Plus - and maybe I'm just a pansy or something - my feet always kill from standing there for 3-4 hours. I am looking forward to King Diamond in April though - there are rare occasions when concerts are actually entertaining for me and I know this is going to be one of them. |
