Nah, some people are just naturally predisposed to making goofy faces. Even their family photos end up like that, lol.

HAHA! Man, I have always hated that photo!

In my opinion the one from Angel Rat is even worse though... Something about bad lighting and the band looking all pastey or something... The composition of the photo is all off too, with Snake & Piggy leaning off to the sides, Away down center, and a big gap (where Blacky should be standing), right in the middle!

My favorite band pics are the ones on the back of RRROOOAAARRR and the group shot in Nothingface (with the cool metal structure behind them)!

I think the shades are basically something related to Philty Animal Taylor from Motorhead.

I agree the Outer Limits and Angel Rat pics made the band look like 'romance rockers' or the back up band to Adam Ant!

Denim & Leather & a T-shirt is always the way to go in a photo to let 'em know you rock hard!!!

If anyone is going to bid on the promo photo, I'm the high bidder with max bid of $6.55 in case you want to pay more than that... no hard feelings, just thought I'd let ya know.

If I win, I'll scan it in better and post it online for everyone; and, Warcorpse could add it to this site if he wants.

That would be cool to own Schroeder. The photo with autographs would be cool to own too. (I'm digging those sunglasses, hee hee) I scanned it for you 'corpse.

When I have a sec. I will scan it for you EKH, I have an old german pressing of DH, which came with sleeve with lyrics and a photo taken at the Musiclab, West-Berlin Studio. That was one of the best moments ever for me in Voivod, those two winters spent in Berlin, 3 minutes from Check-point Charlie and the Wall.

Did I ever mention the first day we met with Harris Johns, he was pointing to the wall down the street of from his studio and telling us that three days earlier two guys jumped the wall, trying to make it to freedom and got shut there, in the “no man’s land”. That sort of did it for the day, trust me. After that, every day I had to go there and walk next to the wall, thinking of all the pain that people of Germany and other countries have to go through cause of useless politics. I cried a lot there.

That t-shirt reminded me why I was always intrigue by that city, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward of HP Lovercraft perhaps started it! I looked to find Lovercraft grave one day driving around town looking for it in cemeteries, no luck. He was more then a writer, so many myths around him.
We played there only one (during the 80')and it was very fun!

a cool site here, if you like Lovercraft

Lovecraft is one strange, demented writer. If anyone has seen some of the movies (Reanimator, From Beyond) I'm sure you know what I mean. Perfect stuff to write sci-fi metal to.
