Top 10 Creepiest Looking Rock Bands

Some of theses bands are probably terrible (except a few). I just looked up "scary-looking bands" on Google, and I am basing this list off how creepy they look - not by how good of a band they are. Enjoy!
The Top Ten
1 Slipknot Slipknot is an American metal band formed in Des Moines, Iowa in 1996. The band is best known as one of the pioneers of the New Wave of American Alternative Metal during the late 1990s - 2000s and are distinguishable by the band's clothing choices, consisting of black/red jumpsuits and horror inspired masks. ...read more.

Slipknot are absolutely amazing, eventhough their vocals aren't exactly have the best vocals, their look is awesome and creepy, which also matches the lyrics to their songs. They're terrible live though.

Besides being the only really good band on this list, these guys are seriously creepy. Especially Craig Jones (dubbed "Pin-Head").

2 Insane Clown Posse Insane Clown Posse is an American hip hop, horrorcore and rap rock duo consisting of rappers Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope, that was formed in 1989 in Detroit.

Insane Clown Posse is known for their violent and outrageous lyrics that often interpolate horror elements and religious symbolism, all of this being set in the fictitious Dark Carnival universe. The musical style ranges from oldschool hip hop to straightforward rock. ...read more.

Although there's only two of them, they look scary in a weird way, and I wouldn't want to meet them in a dark alleyway. Or any alleyway.

Um, they're not a rock band. Why? Because they don't play rock music. They're rappers.

3 Hollywood Undead Hollywood Undead is an American rap rock band from Los Angeles, California, United States. They released their debut album, Swan Songs, on September 2, 2008, and their live CD/DVD Desperate Measures, on November 10, 2009.

There is nothing creepy about the way KISS looks

KISS looks stupid.

5 Cradle of Filth Cradle of Filth are a British extreme metal band that formed in Suffolk in 1991. The band's musical style evolved from black metal to a cleaner and more "produced" amalgam of gothic metal, symphonic black metal and other extreme metal styles.

In the beginning of their career, the band was heavily associated with the emo subculture, and had strong metalcore, screamo and alternative influences, however got more metal oriented over the years. Their songs usually carry a message of acceptance, believing in yourself and being individual and different. Among their most well known songs are "Knives and Pens", "Rebel Love Song", "In the End" and "Fallen Angels".

Black veil brides are not creepy at all, AT ALL.
