Who was the smart guy who put a picture of that poser Shamara from Matriarch? Someone looking to promote the band? Pasajero 21:38, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, who is she? A notable and well-known metal female should be used instead. --Burbster 23:51, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Confused.

I was looking around and I came across this article: http://www.agoracosmopolitan.com/home/Fashion/2006/03/06/01007.html I had read this wikipedia article beforehand and I was pretty sure I didn't see it referenced here, so was it stolen from here, or the other way around?

The website says that that page was created in 2005, while this article came from way before then, so I think it's safe to say they stole it from here. Desdinova 14:06, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Get that pathetic Shamara from Matriarch out of there. She is definitly NOT the type of girl worthy of being shown as a "typical metal girl". Use some photos from Tarija from Nightwish or something. GET HER OUT OF THERE!!!

Tarja is way too dressy and gothy. It's not the way a typical metal girl dresses. I would contribute but I don't have any good pics. --Burbster 14:33, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok, enlighten me. This is from the article: "Although Nazi imagery is generally frowned upon, some choose more closely fascist-associated symbols such as the swastika". Has anyone here ever seen a true metalhead who supported fascist imagery? If so, I wouldn't want to delete this, but if this is just vandalism or POV, it should be taken out. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.247.164.49 (talk) 19:02, 7 December 2006 (UTC).

I know some metallers who have fairly sympathetic views to fascism, but they are not a large enough group to warrant mention here. Removed. Desdinova 14:06, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

We're just talking about imagery here, remember? Slayer's Iron Eagle logo, Motörhead's Iron Crosses etc... I have an iron cross and Slayer's Iron Eagle logo on my kutten, but it doesn't mean I'm fascist in nay way. (In fact I support left wing ideologies). -J. 10:47, 16 march 2007.

[edit] Removed Picture of Shamara

I removed the picture that seemed to offend a lot of people which seems to be self-promotion. I didn't put a replacement in until a consensus can be reached about which notable female metalhead should be used. Desdinova 14:06, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

This article needs more pictures. Fabio Lione is good for a fan of power metal. Doppelganger 23:00, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
