12/30/2008: Guys that Wear Makeup
This is our theme for the men in makeup! We love these guys because they seem to do what so many men are afraid to do. Dress up like women and feel pretty and rock out while doing so! Well, besides at the typical frat party or in high schools these days with the cute little emo, whiny ass kids! Whether it’s full on makeup and costume or the new guyliner trend, we all love the men in makeup! Even if it’s just because it’s so damn fun to make fun of them! Entertainment is just that, entertainment! I’ll take it for what it’s worth and roll with it! Wearing makeup doesn’t mean you have no talent, that is pretty obvious from out list, and it doesn’t mean you’re a total wimp either! I’m pretty damn sure that a few of these guys could kick some ass as soon as they kicked off their high heels and got down to business. Regardless, they sell millions of records and make a lot of money so they will always have their bags full of the best makeup a guy can buy, and still manage to bring the hottest guys and girls back to their hotel rooms after the show! Must be nice to be famous! Just further proves that money can buy just about anything! Grab your mirrors and lip liner and begin applying without shame men! If these guys can do it, why can’t you! Please enjoy the list! Hopefully in a dress, cuz that is just hot and funny!
Marilyn Manson- Tainted Love
Although Manson pretty much stole his look from Alice Cooper, you can’t really help but think of a man in tons of make up when you think of him. Creepy and sometimes almost beautiful, Manson made it okay for millions of kids to slap on the black lipstick and white face paint and show the world just how “scary” they could be. I just have to give props to the man though. Not only did he gain millions of fans all over the world by his “shocking” lyrics and antics, but he did it in an intelligent way and kept a very smart composer through it all. Really the man is a genius in stockings. This is a fantastic cover! Definitely the best cover of this song, cuz there are plenty of people that have just butchered it. I don’t think there is a better person to sing a song about tainted anything other than this twisted dude and his band of merry men!
MuDvAyNe – Under My Skin
Heres a band that IMO just should have kept on the damn makeup… Ever since they got rid of it, they just haven’t had their edge… And to Chad Grey, mascara and a fur coat does NOT count in the same league as the bad ass killer clown shit you used to wear… Bust out your overalls and your oil paints and write another LD50 instead of this nonsense you’ve been writing. It’s sad.
Anyway, rant over… Check out the rapping in this song, lol… “I”m superman motherfucker without the S on my chest” LOL… Lyrical brilliance? Maybe not… Awesome, hells yeah!!!
The Cure- Pictures of You
The original boys of goth and emo! There isn’t a person out there that can think of anything other than Robert Smith’s bright red lipstick and child drawn on eye make up look that he still rocks to this day. Not to mention the hair do that looks as if he just woke up and stuck his finger in the nearest electrical outlet. The Cure remains a great band even now and their music from the past will go down in history as some of the greatest and most melancholy music to come out of the 80’s. The make up just seems to fit Robert. If you think about it, you probably wouldn’t even recognize the man just walking down the street sans smeared make up and crazy hair. He could just be walking his dog and you’d probably walk right past him. That is as long as he wasn’t wearing some kind of heels or a dress like he tends to wear. I think it would be really awesome to see too! I wonder if he actually wears colors other than black? Some people were very smart to just stick to who they were and not try to roll with the changes and fit into whereever the world would take them like so many bands did. Just look at them now! They didn’t change a thing and now they fit right back into what is deemed “cool” again. Good thinking Robert! Good thinking!
Immortal – Blashyrkh
Just watch… Before the lyrics even start you will find more hair flips, scowels, and most importantly… Makeup… Than any video you’ve ever seen. Immortal will do one of two things, make you LOL or give you nightmares… Just so happens, they give me nightmares in which they are chasing me but I’m so busy laughing at their corpse-paint that i can’t run fast enough to get away… I don’t know what else to say other than here comes Joint’s next pick, and then watchout for my pick after that… Seriously…
Placebo- Ask for Answers
Brian Molko is definitely one of the prettiest men to grace the music scene in a long time! This man seems almost too comfortable in his perfectly applied eyeliner and lipstick matched with a nice dress and pretty shoes. They manage to look this ridiculous and still produce wonderful music! They sing about everything from drugs to heartache with an eerie passion that just rips through the soul. Even the ones about his gay love affairs. Brian Molko gay? No way!! LOL! It is great to live in an era where people can openly talk and sing about their sexuality and bring it onto the stage with them. Not that others from the past haven’t done the same, but it seems like a lot people were in denial as well!! Placebo owns up to everything that is already pretty obvious but they don’t waste time with making it the focal point of their music. This is one of my favorite songs by this fantastic band. I am a huge fan, if that hasn’t been made clear by now!
King Diamond – Welcome Home
GRAAAAANDMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Thats right, I did it… Prepare to have your fuckin’ face melted off by the shredding and voice of King Diamond! Don’t ask questions, don’t start shit, just sit there and emmerse yourself in the best of metal…
Or do like I do and laugh and the memories of Clerks 2 and Jay dancing outside Moobey’s to this song… Or Climbing through the drive-thru causeing Elias to bust his ass when he runs away cause he dosen’t like hearing about darksided things!!
No matter your reaction, just do it with me…
GRAAAAAANDMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kiss- Detroit Rock City
Like I could make a guys in make up list without Kiss! That would be like me making a list of sexual positions and not including missionary! They are some of the original men in makeup and made it a huge part of their music and fan base. They have millions of fans that dress up and paint themselves up like their favorite member and walk around like they are the coolest people alive! This is a case of a band trying to just go with the flow of the times and took off their makeup later in their career. That proved to not be a very good idea considering the band’s popularity and album sales seemed to suffer immensely. Although they have made a comeback, in full makeup and costume of course, and are selling out arenas all over the world. I have never been a fan of this band, and I know that pisses a lot of people off. I do have to give them credit with how much money they have made off such a silly idea for a band look though. Who would have thought such a ridiculous idea would spawn such a hysteria? I guess that just goes to show that some people are more impressed by a gimmick rather than actual talent and song writing! Oh yeah, that’s gonna piss some people off I’m sure! But, this is my opinion so guess who cares? Not me!!
ABK – Warrior
Damn, Joint is on her broom today and flying low, eh? OUCH OUCH SHE’S BURNING ME! MY BRAAAAIIINNNN!!!!!! I TAKE IT BACK I TAKE IT BACK!!! woo… damn son, didn’t know women could do THAT.
Anyway, onto my next song… ABK, the native american rapper with a funny lisp. I don’t really care though cause this song is funky as SHIT.
Nana naaaana marijuaaaana crack fooortiiees to get byyyyyyy.
Thats just awesome… Not that we condone drug use (i guess, LOL)… It’s just funny 
Not to mention, he’s a damned nativ american rapper… Reppin the indian culture!!!! woohoo!!!
30 Seconds to Mars- From Yesterday
The pretty boy from My So-Called Life grew up to become such a prettier man. Going with the emo trend, Jared Leto and bandmates probably wear more guyliner in a day than I do in a month. But boy it just makes their eyes pop doesn’t it? Okay that was supposed to be sarcastic, but as usual it’s so hard to get that out in typing! I was a pretty big fan of this band, and even liked The Kill before I knew it was Jared Leto in the band. However after meeting him and seeing him lately and discovering what an asshole prima donna he has become I really have a hard time respecting them now. I did have to laugh when my sister called him a fag though. It was just downright entertaining. If you are going to be an actor-turned musician you should expect and appreciate your fans in all aspects! Making a comment about how great the show was follwed by a comment about a movie he made shouldn’t have been a slap in his purposely smudged eyeliner face! Face Mr. Leto, if it weren’t for those movies you wouldn’t be even close to half as popular as you are right now! Appreciation should go both ways. And, excersing my right to opinion in my own blog, I think he was a far better actor. I do think he has a great voice and they do make decent music, but to give up completely on acting would be a huge mistake on his part!
Welp, that’s it for the guys who wear makeup… I tried to keep it as straight as possible here and changed my mind a few times… But here it is… Hopefully we should be back with some new posts in the near future! Just hang out and check the old stuff if you’ve never been here, if you’ve read em all then THANKS!!!
Catch ya next time!
