Comment on Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it

Yea that’s why metal fuckin rules. We got the ugliest guys ever altogether in one room and said “what you got?” and they became legends

And for anyone that might say that doesn’t happen anymore, I ask: how many open mic nights or $20 shows have you been to lately? The scene is doing great in my area, but it doesn’t happen by magic. Ya gotta support it, spread the word, bring your friends.

More of a hardcore guy myself but we’re equally as ugly

Yeah, no kidding. I just bought tickets for a $15 show that has multiple bands and included a overseas band. I should’ve upped the prices to $20.

Also: Sturgeon‘s law still applies: “90% of everything is crap“. Music is so amazingly easy to make these days you can do it on your phone (and I believe a Grammy nominated/winning album did so). Which means that there are literally thousands of albums every year, And so there will be a lot of crap. But between Bandcamp and Spotify, this is the freaking plutonium age if you like new music. There is literally so much that you can’t possibly keep up with it, even in sub genres. And there are some amazing gems coming out daily

Most of my favorite artists are beautiful tho… Mikael Akerfeldt, Alexi Laiho (RIP), Devin Townsend, Shagrath…

  I also thought Alexi was hot, but I’ve never heard anyone else say that until now.
  
  Also Tosin Abasi (founder of Animals as Leaders), but I’d be shocked if anyone said he isn’t attractive.

    Dudes with long hair can get a real vibe. Francesco Paoli (Fleshgod Apocalypse) also nails it I think:

    And in usual fashion, here’s a very cool song and music video. Sugar (youtube): www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmq3iyW02b8
    
    First heard of Fleshgod when I saw The Black Dahlia Murder live. Nobody knew who they were, so they just walked up on stage, yelled “We are from the Italy!” and then went straight into playing. Such a great show.
