Very few bands take promotional photos the way Manowar has. The band proved they not only write about warriors, epic battles, and unbreakable kinships–they also embody it–using very little clothing, of course. Before Manowar, who would've thought there was an unsettling fine line between heavy metal and erotica? Even though Manowar is an undeniably awesome band, they've had some of the cheesiest photo shoots in music, showing more bare inner thigh than some struggling pop stars. The following is a friendly roast in Manowar's heroic honor. Enjoy.
Historically, I don't believe gauntlets were ever accompanied by studded undies and permed hair.
Definitely real, non-plastic swords.
Can't tell if really sexy or really metal…
60% nudity – 30% leather – 10% body hair
Manowar wore Ugg boots before they were basic.
Forget the ladies, WHY ARE THEY DRAPED IN CHRISTMAS GARLANDS?!
Don't you hate when you get battle wounds while playing bass?
Pillaging the lands was more efficient on motorcycles.
Clothes don't count when your groin is exposed, Manowar.
The moment you regret buying pit tickets.
In related news, the band just released a new live video of a re-recorded version of "The Heart of Steel."
