This is an actual band, and some of their songs are indeed about malevolent fruit.

I've known a couple of devout Clutch fans over the years. Good hard rock, but not really my thing.

Malevolent Fruit would be a good rank. |

This album cover is the best proof I can think of that some things cannot be explained by mere science. How could these guys, with their Ziggy-Stardust-meets-Farrah-Fawcett hair and their ravishing lipstick and eyeliner, all emphasized by soft-focus camera work and pouty expressions, ever have been considered the pinnacle of hardcore masculinity? And yet it was so.

The pinnacle of hardcore masculinity by who? Certainly not anyone in the crowd I ran with back in the day. I mean, they were glam and all, which was OK --but on a continuum from The Sweet to Motorhead, Poison were at least one standard deviation out on the Sweet side... Glam was cool in part because it tossed hardcore masculinity out the window... |

I think of certain Bowie periods as being the best examples of glam done well, because there's a real artistic component to it, but Poison and the like were just frat boys who glommed on to a look that would get them as much tail as they could handle. I won't deny that there may have been a "I want to fuck these guys because they look like girls" facet to it for some of their fans, but a lot of them did, indeed, find them alpha-masculine in their finery. I don't judge them on that. I judge them on liking music that sucked so hard. |

Okay, since we apparently have image extra storage, allow me to squander it!

I don't judge them on that. I judge them on liking music that sucked so hard. I need to point out that sentence in there about how this look got them as much tail as they could handle. It was because they were considered the height of masculinity, as I said above. I remember overhearing, and at times engaging in, many conversations about this phenomenon. Of course at that age the irony of the situation went right over my head. Total weirdness. |

The oddest part about that to me is the pirate-ification of the DRI logo.

The band actually goes by ConsPiracy, if that's any help. Their music isn't quite as bad as their name and artistic choices. I mean, standard-issue metal...
