Doesn’t this photo look like a blurry wanted for questioning police photo?
This is a rather uncomfortable topic for me. Should musicians wear masks? People wear masks for different reasons. Artistic expression, theatrics, privacy, entertainment, fear, and its just sometimes fun. Some mask wearing bands are Daft Punk, Slip Knot, MF Doom, Bucket Head, Orville Peck, The Residents, Sia, and Marshmello…. I guess the same could be said for wearing heavy makeup like, Kiss, Twisted Sister, Alice Cooper, Motley Crue, Ghost, Poison, The Cure, Insane Clown Posse, not to mention David Bowie’s lightning bolt….
If you watched Daredevil, “Born Again”, resident Psychologist Heather Glen views mask wearing as a “projected persona that strips away your true identity to reveal your raw animalistic nature. Which allows people to act without consequence, which ultimately consumes them.” Well said Dr. Glen! I’m a big fan of Marvel Movies and shows. Too bad it’s only TV. The world might be a better place with masked hero’s even if the good Dr. disagrees.
So here’s the band in raw animalistic nature, so much fun. No, It’s not Halloween!

“Raw Meat” original, done with raw animalistic energy!
One of my favorites, Radio Head, “Creep. “Cover by the Steel Knives Actual Halloween footage.
I like to wear masks! But like I said “It’s uncomfortable!”
Fun fact: The first actor to wear a mask on stage can be dated back to Ancient Greece around the 6th century B.C. Thespis of Icaria. Before this, Greek performances were singing and dancing groups. He was credited for inventing Western tragedy. (Father of Tragedy) Not sure about you, but I wouldn’t want to be called “The Father of Tragedy”!
