Exciter's previous efforts were all modern and involved knives yet they suddenly stuck on a fantasy cover. Although they did have some fantasy topics. Dio's is more in keeping with the band's previous covers which were fantasy/horror type stuff.Metal Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18400759786407810475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13852175.post-47440516019845422582008-12-16T14:07:00.000-08:002008-12-16T14:07:00.000-08:00"There's a fine line between clever and stupid." ..."There's a fine line between clever and stupid."

While the misogynistic covers are dumb (much like a lot of the non-misogynistic covers), I'm not quite ready to throw them into the fire (though in many cases it may be merited). I was merely pointing out that the Exciter cover had something every bit as dumb as Dio's slobbering hounds.bob_vinylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08414008312753058491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13852175.post-44612627936493836122008-12-16T12:54:00.000-08:002008-12-16T12:54:00.000-08:00Being worried about some misogynistic art in a 80s...Being worried about some misogynistic art in a 80s metal album cover makes no sense at all. If we're going to take this kind of stuff seriously, then it's better to burn all the records of that era. After all, they were full of violence glorification, satanism, sexism, songs about fast cars (not good for the environment), necrophilia, you name it. Curiously, metal was so much more fun in those days...Luizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15825105770377551691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13852175.post-36241841209923623682008-12-16T07:16:00.000-08:002008-12-16T07:16:00.000-08:00Hey, wait aren't you the guy with a Ratt mirror ha...Hey, wait aren't you the guy with a Ratt mirror hanging in your living room?
