If you believe fashion mags, metal kids are weirdly on-trend at the moment–even if their favorite bands still all suck. Anyway, they probably don't know it, but a metal festival in 2009 is like Paris Fashion Week. While at Download festival a little bit ago, we interviewed some of these debauched beauties.
Hello, what's your name?
Eka.
What's been the worst thing you've seen anyone wearing here?
I personally hate those woolly dreadlocks, I've seen so many of them here. I just think they're wrong.
Ever got stuck in a mosh pit behind someone with them?
No, but I got stuck behind this girl with a matted ponytail and she kept flicking it in my face. It was pretty hideous.
Who would you say influences the way you dress?
The 90s. Nineties hip-hop mainly, like crop-tops. I'm obsessed with Moschino at the moment, like the jeans with the clouds, the off-key stuff.
Name?
Lexxi Foxxx from Steel Panther.
What's the best thing you've seen anyone wearing here?
When I look in the mirror and I see what I'm wearing. It's spandex and it's bitchin'.
Ouch. How would you describe your style?
Heavy metal, bitchin', rad, and foxy.
Who would you say influences your style?
Britney Fox and Kid Rock.
Idiot.
Hi, what's your name?
Eddie.
Are you enjoying Download?
Hell yeah.
What's the worst thing you've seen anyone wearing this weekend?
Fat chicks in spandex.
What's the best thing you've seen anyone wearing this weekend?
Hot men that are naked.
Who would you say influences the way you dress?
Brody Dalle.
Mama-mia, you're special. What's your name?
Clarissa.
What's the worst thing you've seen anyone wearing at the festival?
Probably Steel Panther's outfits. Actually, I take that back, they were the best thing I've seen all weekend.
Who would you say influences your style?
Probably Pamela Anderson. I'm joking. People keep telling me I look like her. I can't see why though.
Me neither, Clarissa.
It's just the blond hair and fake tits.
So who does influence your style?
Sex.
Hi, what's your name please?
Rich.
What's the worst thing you've seen anyone wearing at Download?
A fat man with fishnet gloves on.
What's the best thing you've seen anyone wearing?
Hot chicks with big boobs, but not wearing very much.
How would you describe your style?
Gay.
You're right, you do look quite happy.

Wow it's an ironic wolf spirit tee I actually like.
Posted by: The Host | 25/06/2009 at 15:26
I'm going to rip off Rich's shirt and fuck him. Unless he has a wolf tattooed on his chest.
Well no, I'd probably still jump him. mmm...

The only decent one is rich, who is looking rad. the prick in the spandex needs to take a long hard look at himself and realise that he is a complete douche and should take the job at his daddies company.

everything in this story is the opposite of what it's supposed to be.

that dude in the ACDC shirt looks freshhh
Posted by: ROMAN POLANSKEET | 25/06/2009 at 20:30
basing your style off of kid rock is not a good decision
Posted by: truth | 25/06/2009 at 20:52
lexxi is screaming for a beating. he's got on lipstick and he did his 'brows
Posted by: fuckwad | 25/06/2009 at 20:55
uhh, this article is just lazy.
First of all, Steel Panther is a joke band that plays covers of 80s metal - it's a parody. That guy knows he looks ridiculous.
Secondly, how does Clarissa's style look like anything at Paris Fashion Week?
Lastly, the last dude is not "accidentally" trendy. He is a standard hipster with tattoos and an ironic t-shirt.
Are these really the funniest people you could find at a big metal festival? Fail.

there's nothing accidental about this cunts, they know what they pretend to look like and they all look like scum, now its time for my valium.

eddie is cool as fuck. I want to party with her.
Posted by: boob | 26/06/2009 at 19:55
eddie and rich are hipsters, simply; that's why they appeal to anyone with normal senses.
