Black Veil Brides has declared that dead. Apparently instead of writing good or catchy songs you dress yourself up like some sort of hair metal/gothmo nightmare and play mediocre cliche' metalcore. Which apparently the kiddies are calling "Medio-core" these days. lulz

Some of the comments are fun too.

 

 

mitchell.minami :

man, its so stupid that a band is being classified or appreciated more by how they dress. its about the ****ing music!! and their music just isn't good at all.

 

 

or...

 

 

Entombed :

Damn, hot... wait... NOO!

Its a good rule of thumb to assume that when anyone that subscribes to a fad or a popular style is talking about said fad or style that everything they say is 180 degrees from reality i.e. the interview with that high school kid who was dressing up like a Werewolf saying that "we don't do this for attention" or this to be forgotten guy from this to be forgotten band saying "obviously we're going to stand out from every other band". :facepalm:

every single one of the most successful rock bands ever had a new visual style. it's actually a requirement to be noticed by the public at large.

 

I don't really care for this kind of {censored}, obviously, but it's undeniable how important your clothing and your hair are for achieving financial success.

Not every band :)

The foundation of their success were based on them looking normal, even though Bono is a little eccentric now

Not your mother in laws' dream boys, but you can hardly call long hair, jeans and leather jackets extreme :D

Yeah... honestly it's nothing motley crue hasn't already done 25 years ago.

I mean, you want to talk about going far? Look at Japanese 'metal'. Oh yeah, and they're all dudes. There is a whole genre of metal where the point is to dress up like victorian age final fantasy female character rejects.
