elephantgrey Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 They all just look like normal metal bands. But then they all look ridiculous to me. Quote
paul h Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Nice to see Manowar appearing several times. Quote
Norris Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 The 80s were a cesspit of shameful dress sense. Some cracking poodle-dos on there too! I always like it when there's one or two band members who are not quite as into the image as the others Quote
colgraff Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 It always amazed me that the metal scene, allegedly a bastion of heterosexuality, bought into the dress code of the Berlin gay scene. I understand that it was courtesy of Rob Halford. I would like to think that it was a huge practical joke. Quote
Lozz196 Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Quite amusing to see what looked really cool back then was really, well not! Quote

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 The priest, that is the beast Quote
megallica Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Truthfully though who didnt wear ridiculous clothes in the 80s? Priest and manowar have been touring for decades metals never been about fashion Quote

xgsjx Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Some pics of Motley Crue, Cinderella or Poison would make that lot seem fashionable. Quote
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 It's a bit like footballers , with some of the worst hairstyles ever;) They get away with it, because they're footballers Football managers on the other hand.. Quote
Woodinblack Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 [quote name='PlungerModerno' timestamp='1457645365' post='3000675'] Check them out in motion: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ibq9VUG3lWI"]https://www.youtube....h?v=Ibq9VUG3lWI[/url] [/quote] They were pretty solid and effortless as a performing group. And fun. So I think they can be let off anything. Quote
Bassassin Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) One of the great things about metal (and there are many) is that it's entirely aware of its own innate absurdity. And it totally doesn't give a sh!t. Edited March 11, 2016 by Bassassin Quote
stuckinthepod Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 To be fair some of those guys have a really strong look. I'm rethinking my clothing options for tonight's gig Quote
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Looking for his loincloth ? Quote
