#313 MAKE-UP IN METAL

from Metal Nerdery Podcast · host Metal Nerdery Podcast

“I like feet, bro…” Whether it’s the “spooky kabuki KISS” face paint of the 70’s, the “ultra gloves of shame glam KISS” from the 80’s, or the black metal corpse paint of the modern day, MAKE-UP has been a part of rock and metal across a multitude of decades and genres that not only made for a superior stage show but also helped homely looking metal heads look and feel more attractive and confident.    It’s time to take care of the “nut breath”, pretty up the “front gunt”, and manicure the “gash” before you slip on those “acid washed jeans” and head out the door.  Discover who was NOT “an official KISS character”, learn how to streamline your vacuuming schedule, and prepare to JOIN US on the most double entendre laden podcast in metal “where dreams can come true” with MAKE-UP IN METAL.
