Nice pic Bev....that says it all......metal is about black cloths,denim & leather,studs,spikes,chains,black boots,bullet belts,black leather gloves..ect....
I hate seeing these bands that are supposed to be in a "metal" band and are wearing baggy jungle pants like a rap artist,sports jerseys,sneakers
and a baseball (tunnel) hat that makes them look like The Beastie Boys or some shit like that..I fucking "HATE" that crappy image and the music
always turns out to be shit. Every time a band that once had the true metal image that quit wearing it turned out like shit as well...never fails lol!

Oh man those pics make me laugh and cringe at the same time! Horrible! Mushroomhead? Woohoo....................not.
I agree with you JD, Priest did not cultivate the leather and studs image for heavy metal just cos they felt like it. It's a symbol of the genre. All these so called 'metal' bands that flounce around in baggu jeans and baseball caps turned sideways are what we'd call here in NZ, try hards. They try too hard and just look like dicks in the end. Hehe incidentally we watched a new trailer the other day for that Brutal Legend video game (which looks cool and has an awesome soundtrack, Rob does a voice in the game too, along with other metal greats) and it was taking the piss out of these 'metal' bands that have DJs scratching records to the music and stuff. Oh I laughed LOL! It's sad that a lot of kids these days think that's what heavy metal is, when that's not it at all! But I think so long as real metal fans like everyone here keep the flames burning for real metal and keep the heavy metal faith, these kids and others will eventually learn what true metal is all about
