UPDATE: on reflection it is possible that I have made a
grievous error. However I stand by my claim that the Insane Clown Posse are not infact, a posse:
1. A group of people summoned by a sheriff to aid in law enforcement.I will however, accept Insane Clown Duo, or Insane Clown Couple. Carry on!

Slipknot - Spit It Out (live)I was sent the above video as some kind of harbinger of the end of the civilized world, or similar (mainly denoted by the misspelling of 'slipnot'). And though a lot of those people on the field would appear to be tempting a horrible, horrible death by crushing, obeying the petty whims of one dude in a fright mask, it mainly made me pine for the olde days of tasteful and nuanced rock and roll warpaint, and how if I wanted to, I could chart the devolution of the medium using the following visual aides:
ALICE COOPER

Hey man, this is the real deal. Satan and animal sacrifices, and whoa, crazy shit. However, you are a Republican and Marilyn Manson took a girl's name after you did and both those offences are punishable by death. I should have put Ozzy here.
JOHN WAYNE GACY

This just in: clowns are fucking scary. Pictured here is renowned artist and sometime serial killer, Pogo. A hugely popular kid's party fixture, as you can well imagine.
DAVID BOWIE

It took a few goes to perfect the Ziggy make-up, but please enjoy this rarely seen look into my third, non-matching coloured eye and see that all who come after me will be thin, white imitations. P.S. sorry about popularising the mullet - my fault, that.
ADAM ANT

I don't care how coolly ironic you think Dog Eat Dig is now. Adam Ants blew gorillas then and he blows gorillas now, as this photo more than adequately demonstrates.
KISS

KISS have likely never heard the word Kabuki, but they do understand 'US Copyright Patent' and 'Ka-Ching!' Indirectly responsible for Mudvayne, so please refund my lunchbox money post haste, Gene Simmons.
MARILYN MANSON

As if spending your life as only a tar-encrusted head wasn't punishment enough, now you have to stick you tongue in Brian Warner's mouth and pretend you like it. This photo makes me think: edgy. Also, hand me a blunt object with with to poke out my eyes.
WHOEVER THIS IS

Whoever this is, they look Swedish: the land where metal is still king. In fact, what this really looks like is the new IKEA catalogue. Does it not just scream, "low cost functional furniture and television aerials for the masses"?
MUDVAYNE

Hey! Mudvayne! Whoa, stop freakin' me out for a second and learn to spell, Mudvayne! Who do you think you are anyway, Split Enz? Also, what in crap is a 'Mudvayne' anyway? A rare blood disorder?
INSANE CLOWN POSSE

I know you mentally illin' n' shit, Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope (Oh! I get it! I get it!), but two douchebags lost on their way to the WWF does not the 'posse' make.
