m (Rename "Rated Mfor Manly" to Rated M for Manly)
Line 336:
* [[Lolicon]] - Really weird songs that seem to fit no genre, with nude pre-teens making up the entire group.
* [[Looks Like Cesare]] - Deathrock borrowing a musical page from Alien Sex Fiend, with their stage image relying on the campiness of early horror films.
* [[Loud of War]] - [[Affectionate Parody]] of [[Rated MforM for Manly]] heavy metal.
* [[Lovecraft Lite]] - A power metal band formed by the bassist and the drummer of [[Cosmic Horror]] after they quit over creative disagreements with the rest of the band.
* [[Love Dodecahedron]] - Rather emo, sing about unrequited love a lot, most of the band/managers/roadies/etc are in more than one relationship.
Line 452:
* [[Rage Quit]] - A metal band. At their live shows, the guitarist always makes a mistake about halfway through the fifth song, and his playing just gets worse from that point on until he gives up and walks off stage. Currently looking for a new guitarist.
* [[Rape Is Love]] - Thrash Goregrind-Porngrind fusion.
* [[Rated MforM for Manly]] - On the surface, Heavy Metal. actually a brilliantly done [[Stealth Parody]] of the genre. Lots of argument amongst fans if they're music is intentionally [[So Bad Its Good]], unintentionally [[So Bad Its Good]], So Bad It's Horrible, or just plain Good. Rivals of [[Testosterone Poisoning]].
** We already have this kind of band, and it's called '''[[Manowar]]'''. Save for the name, the description matches perfectly.
* [[Raygun Gothic]] - Power/prog metal. Their albums all tell the ''[[Crystal Spires and Togas]]'' science fiction saga. They are faster than [[Dragon Force]] and more complex than [[Dream Theater (Music)|Dream Theater]], and their ultimate goal is to create the most difficult-to-play piece of music ever.
Line 520:
* [[Terrorists Without a Cause]] - Alternative rock, politically infused lyrics against The Man.
** Either that, or the first-ever indie act out of Cairo.
* [[Testosterone Poisoning]] - Blatant parody heavy metal band, with hilarious lyrics. Rivals of [[Rated MforM for Manly]], despite frequently being confused with them.
* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]] - ''More'' Dakka! Speed/power metal in all it's glory. Play only on [[Up to Eleven|eleventh]] volume (their concerts are not unlike Space Shuttle takeoff), use largest and loudest tech available. Frequently perform in improbable locations - over the erupting volcanoes, in the storms' eyes,and ''[[Detonation Moon|on the moon]]'', among other places. Rivals with [[More Dakka]].
* [[The Schizophrenia Conspiracy]] - An alternative rock band whose songs all deal with insanity. [[Only Sane Man|With the exception of the bassist]], every member has spent some time institutionalized.
