When my thoughts become my biggest fear

What's the difference, i'll die?

In this sick world of mine"

LOOK WHAT I GOT FOR A BELATED BDAY PRESENT

ITS LAYNEE

[cruesuffix]

Since were on the topic of outfits what would motley wear to met gala or prom if they did finish high school

I LOVE THIS QUESTION!! thank you so much for this anon i love rambling about things like this<333 ok, while i know someone already did a whole post about mötley crüe met gala outfits, i’ll just tell you what i ACTUALLY think they’d wear (because at the end of the day they’re men and men aren’t really creative when it comes to the whole fashion thing), but first: Prom Looks!

vince would probably wear something simple, because we’ve all seen him wear basic ass shit a lot…NOT THAT THATS A BAD THING!

something like this would probably be a vince prom look (we all know how much he likes white too) i think he’d wear a pink bow with his white suit to make it pop, but that’s all i can see him wear (also i don’t have the photo but i’m pretty sure he wore white to his wedding too, as did tommy)

now nikki would wear something slightly extra (and gay), he likes standing out, even if it means the other guys at prom will make fun of him for it

something gay and punk coded if you will, his date will most likely hate it too, but they won’t say anything thankfully (the shoes in this photo are awful i think he’d wear basic black docs or something).

tommy would either wear something cooler, nice and clean, or the trashiest things he could find…

he’d wear this if he really wanted to impress the parents of the person he’s taking. he’d take the whole prom thing real seriously. it’s either that or something like the second pic…the jacket with a dress shirt and pants underneath ofc!

mick ofc, would only go in a signature black tux

something like this, maybe he’d wear the pink bow if his date insisted, but other than that, he’s going completely normal, slightly boring basic black tux (you can pry the colour black out of his cold dead hands he’s not giving it up) (also…is that layne staley?? istg it looks like him too…)

the met gala looks will have to be saved for another post seeing as though big tumblr has a photo limit (BOOOO) i’ll be right back!

11, 13, and 28 for the song asks :)

11. a song that you never get tired of

sorry for putting bury me in black again but it fits <3 this one’s kinda tough bc i tend to go through phases of only listening to one album/artist/genre and then don’t come back to them for a while but the one band that’s always stuck with me is mcr, and bury me in black is the one song of theirs i am ALWAYS in the mood for.

13. one of your favorite 80s songs

one hundred years by the cure! when i think 80s i think goth and the cure is one of my favorite classic goth bands <3 the whole pornography album is sooo good but i especially love one hundred years

28. a song by an artist with a voice that you love

man in the box by alice in chains!! tbh it’s been a while since i’ve found an artist with a really distinct voice, but one that will always stand out to me is layne staley’s. it has this really nasal, jagged sound that i really like and contrasts well with jerry cantrell’s voice. i pretty much exclusively listen to aic music from before staley died so when i saw them live it felt SO different, not that i have anything against william duvall but staley just has an incredibly unique sound that i absolutely adore

thank u luna <333

Korn, Alice in Chains, & Underoath Live Preview: 8/21, Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre, Tinley Park

BY JORDAN MAINZER

Why am I recommending a show with three bands who haven’t released great records in years? Because the live experience is totally different. Take Korn, whose upcoming The Nothing drops in a month. They’ve released only a couple songs from it and have really played live only do-it-in-their-sleep lead single “You’ll Never Find Me”. (The other they’ve released is the comparatively aggressive, industrial funk track “Cold”). So, they’ll be treating tonight’s set like a greatest hits retrospective, heavy on their 1994 self-titled debut and 1998 breakout Follow the Leader.

Co-headliner Alice in Chains have been without the vocalist with whom they released grunge classics for almost two decades now, but that hasn’t stopped their popularity among fans and, even if not critics, the Grammy Awards. Rainier Fog, only their 6th studio album ever, was released last year and garnered a Best Rock Album nomination at this year’s Grammy’s. Is it capital “g” Good? No, but it’s no worse than any of the band’s records released since Layne Staley’s passing. (It’s 15 minutes mercifully shorter than 2013′s The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here.) But a year removed from Fog, Alice in Chains will also be treating their set like a nostalgia trip. Plus, they still have Jerry Cantrell.

And judging from their set at Subterranean last year, opener Underoath should only grow into songs from their latest effort Erase Me. Combined with a smattering of favorites from their trio of aughts classics They’re Only Chasing Safety, Define the Great Line, and Lost in the Sound of Separation, it should make for a tight shorter set with little-to-no filler.

Inglewood, California rock band Fever 333 also opens.
