I agree, many of their photos create some very, very bad impressions!!! I feel embarassed myself. However, one should really listen prior to trashing them, they might find good surprises (Quarthon, for example).

Again, I'm a reformed metal, er... fan? I had all the posters from Metal Edge magazine on my walls as a kid. You have to admit it's pretty easy to look back and laugh though. Backcombed and teased platinum blonde hair and spandex stick out as much at disco afros and platform boots.

And bad fashion didn't just apply to metal...
Remember when Michael Jackson was black?
How about when Christina Aguilera was white?
Alanis Morrisette got her first false-start in the 80s.
Even Uncle Hank (Henry Rollins) once looked like this.
