trevor corey User Info... | I wish you guys would give it a break. Why does the animal have to be portrayed as a snarling, drooling, rabid freak? IMO, you are feeding the little red riding hood paranoia of an animal that has NO history of attacking humans. Thanks. end rant - Mon, 29 Jun 2009 2:40pm | ||
Sike Melman User Info... | Aside from Toxic Holocausts album cover..(who arent even remotely local) and HOA's joke cover, where exactly are you seeing this everywhere? - Mon, 29 Jun 2009 2:46pm | ||
trevor corey User Info... | I did not realize it was a "joke cover". Still though. I just want people to think about what they are putting out there. - Mon, 29 Jun 2009 2:49pm Edited: Mon, 29 Jun 2009 2:50pm | ||
KRIEG User Info... | Riiiight, cuz posters advertising metal bands should only display tame, friendly images on them. Just stick to your Tragically Hip concerts and good natured radio rock. You'll find no wolves, bears or other animals being subjected to such horrible stereotypes. - Mon, 29 Jun 2009 3:46pm | ||
Sike Melman User Info... | Ohh yeh that one.. Looks like a Metropole design to me. Certainly wasnt a band or promoter design or the opening acts names would be slightly smaller. - Mon, 29 Jun 2009 4:09pm | ||
Mr. Hell User Info... | A dog barked at me today. - Mon, 29 Jun 2009 4:26pm | ||
Sike Melman User Info... | dogs tend to do that when you city workers get near them.. they know whats next. - Mon, 29 Jun 2009 5:00pm | ||

Mr. Hell User Info... | It only barked after I ran over it for the sixth time for looking at me funny. - Mon, 29 Jun 2009 7:40pm | ||
Sike Melman User Info... | and by funny you mean 'funny' like how the sheep looks at the farmer when he is wearing his gumboots. - Mon, 29 Jun 2009 8:36pm | ||
Mr. Hell User Info... | No. Funny in the way Quin looks at bulk wieners. Oh shit, I am a dead man. - Mon, 29 Jun 2009 9:30pm | ||
Rack-A-Lamb-A-God. User Info... | You are sooooo..getting roundhoused for that one bye the Quinch. - Tue, 30 Jun 2009 12:12am | ||

Rubber Box User Info... | Not compared to the Quinch they arn't - Tue, 30 Jun 2009 9:08am | ||
trevor corey User Info... | Wolves can be plenty "metal", without looking demented and psychotic. At this very moment in B.C., Alberta, and Alaska wolves are being ruthlessly helicopter hunted, and then the quivering, frightened pups are being gassed in their dens. - Wed, 1 Jul 2009 1:43am Edited: Wed, 1 Jul 2009 1:52am | ||

Dr.DoomXXX User Info... | That really sucks ass but anyone with any brains knows that metal posters had sweet fuck all to do with it. - Wed, 1 Jul 2009 4:38pm | ||
Rack-A-Lamb-A-God. User Info... | I wrote a song about this issue, and then my band broke up and I never got to record it.If there isn't enough game to hunt,they hunt the wolves instead.I would love to get my hands on some of these fucking sorry excuses for humans and shoot them. - Thu, 2 Jul 2009 10:50am | ||
Hang The DJ User Info... | In Victoria you have to associate yourself with either a wolf or cobra, or maybe a lion to get gigs. "Oh you're in Cobra Wolf Lion? At least 2 of yer guys have beards? Yer in!". I've heard about 2 separate occasions involving wolves attacking people, but it was only because the wolves had been injured prior to the attack (car accident, hunting "accident") and in both cases the wolves were close to starvation.. and probably pissed off that they're being put on posters everywhere alongside some snakes and lions. - Thu, 9 Jul 2009 10:42pm | ||
trevor corey User Info... | Im ok with wolves on album covers. I just think more thought should be put into the image selection. thats all. - Thu, 9 Jul 2009 11:55pm | ||
Fableway User Info... | I also don't like the way demons, devils, whores, flies (generally but not always in larval state), mutilated bodies, worm-faced jesuses, and impossible to read band names are totally misrepresented on Metal gig posters. I mean, come on. - Fri, 10 Jul 2009 8:10am | ||
trevor corey User Info... | Are you comparing wolves to demons and devils? - Fri, 10 Jul 2009 1:02pm | ||
Mr. Hell User Info... | Seems he is comparing them to whores and maggots. - Fri, 10 Jul 2009 1:13pm | ||
Dr.DoomXXX User Info... | None of which could be as bad as being compared to christopher walken. Look at that idiot. - Fri, 10 Jul 2009 4:43pm | ||
