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!
Rock On Dude!
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.
Hey, you weasels... I just did a post on this last week, HERE. See this

The saddest part is I got 2 comments, but you guys are all over this one.
in rejection, I'll climb upstairs and go to bed.
easily the funniest thing i have seen in a long time...no matter who posted it first.

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.
