That's got to be one of the funniest web pages I've seen for weeks.

WOO HOO!! I laughed so hard, I almost shot a piece of Cap'n Crunch through my nose!!

Especially love number 8, a black metal farmer...BWAHAHAHA!!!

Great site - reminds me of the late 70's with KISS....LOL - I thought #7 looked pretty cool

Cheers!

Yes, quite a few black-metallers use KISS as their template which is pretty amusing. Some of em', like King Diamond, got it too close and got sued by Gene & Co. I still don't get why "corpse-paint" is suppose to be scary.

in rejection, I'll climb upstairs and go to bed.

What I find most amusing is that I know several black metal fans who find it very funny. I think the only people who thick those guys look hard are themselves.

What percentage of black metallers actually take themselves seriously? I suspect a lot of them treat the whole thing as pantomime.

I have actually met several black metal musicians who do take themselves way too seriously. Of course, what they don't realise is that makes them even funnier. The other daft thing, of course, is the illegible logo requirement in black metal. Its part of the whole "extreme" thing.
