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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
