The Best Shock Value Bands

[gregjohnson1229]

This thread is about what bands have the best shock value. This could mean antics, reputation lyrical subject matter, visual presentation.

Here are some of my picks

 

[aeroplane]

Ozzy, Marilyn Manson, WASP, Alice Cooper, Green Jello/Jelly.

Though I don't necessarily like all of Manson's music or Green Jelly's.

Marilyn Manson


How about The Beatles...

Sorry couldn't resist!

^^^ That was by the way, The Macc Lads - from Wiki "The Macc Lads were a punk and hard rock band from Macclesfield, UK. Self-proclaimed "rudest, crudest, lewdest, drunkest band in Christendom", The Macc Lads became notorious for their irreverent and foul-mouthed lyrics, political incorrectness, drinking, sexism and homophobia."


The Sex Pistols have to get a mention in this thread!

I liked The Macc Lads Tray "He'll eat yer pies, he'll tell yer lies, you won't believe that Fat Ba***rds size" to the tune of "Blockbuster" The Sweet. Excellent.

 

[Kuaizi]

Gotta give a nod to DEICIDE on this one. Just look at the song titles!

Homage for Satan:


Kill the Christian:


When Satan Rules His World

 

[Groovy Man]

Not naming names, but...

I find bands that are out to shock me...suck.

Am I allowed to say that?

 

[METALPRIEST]

Why doesn't Kiss ''shock'' us in a good way...

and bring back Ace and Peter.



That blood thing is old...and I never found shocking, but dumb. I remember the first time I saw Kiss on the reunion comeback tour back in 1996 - the first notes of ''God Of Thunder'', I knew the blood was coming...and I went for a piss..lol...true story.

Gene Simmons blowing 8 foot flames out of his mouth - now, that was cool.


Cool, but not shocking. Maybe in the beginning it was shocking.
