[Paulie Tandoori]

can't beleive they havn't been posted already...

[berniedicters]

Heh, there's a definite genre with the whole band posing moodily and looking in different directions thing - the Stranglers had it, too.

I suppose it's a punk/counterculture thing?

 

[Madusa]

haha...don't worry, i had resisted posting up the back cover of Black Sabbath's 'sabotage' LP with them all resplendent in their woolworths underpants showing from under their girls tights

yeah man, it's well funny how their style changed as soon as they started using ''the devil's note'' from properly hippified to gothy menaces. I think they looked quite good still.

 

[dodgepot]

Should I continue or...?

that's so incredibly lame

 

[Madusa]

that's so incredibly lame

Told you, man

 

[ooo]

agreed. they do look well cool.

actually, for a laugh, you should look up some photos /youtube clips of St Vitus (who clearly worship at the sabbath Shrine) - they all have those tony iommi 'gaucho' moustaches and the drummer is even wearing a poncho.

again, they do look pretty cool though.

 

[chico enrico]

just remembered, first time i saw Amebix (nottingham boat club in summer 83 if i remember correctly) they looked pretty mental. and they fucking kicked ass.

Guitar Wolf.

[ChrisFilter]

The Horrors and The Cramps both look like indie wankers

 

[pk]

Metric

Blondie

 

[pk]

Lillix sound shit but look good. Especially the brunette on the left.

 

[butchersapron]

(tho i spose their peers were more in the pub rock scene and Dr Feelgood always looked pretty cool in press shots. like a bunch of villains, or the management of an Old kent Road snooker club)

Bingo!

 

[Griff]

 

[pk]

GWAR

 

[Daibhí]

Not a band as such, but super cool on all fronts

 

[badseed]

The G-man

 

[dodgepot]

Metric

they look shit.

Lillix sound shit but look good. Especially the brunette on the left.

and so do they.

 

[dodgepot]

The Horrors and The Cramps both look like indie wankers

would you prefer it if they looked like billy corgan?

 

[ericjarvis]

Now. Sahara Hotnights.

Then. The Slits.

Do you have any idea how difficult it is to find an early picture of the Slits fully dressed?

 

[kabbes]

Should I continue or...?

OK, sometimes it is not so great.

 

[foo]

ah, here we go:

still look pretty cool.

mostly.

do you really think they look cool??

i mean really?

 

[dodgepot]

the three on the left, yeah. they looked better when they first started out. but then that pic there^^^ is the only pic i've seen of their toned-down image, so it's hard to give an honest comment rly.

 

[foo]

you think the one with the pudding basin haircut down to his chin looks cool.

ok.

 

[dodgepot]

don't you start as well. i've already had Rollem rile me today. i'm begining to think it's time to start looking for a new group of friends, tbh.

 

[kabbes]

you think the one with the pudding basin haircut down to his chin looks cool.

ok.

Well spotted. That's pretty much the DEFINITION of anti-cool.
