Everyone knows it was Gene Simmons, he invented air as well.
Long live Dead🤘RIP pelle ollin
Bunch of possers in the comments, everyone knows Insane Clow Posse were the first ones using it
No band invented it. There were tribes doing that 1,000 years ago. They just took something that already existed and used it.
Kings wife said in a Q&A that one of the reasons he paints his face is so people in the crowd who are even far back can see his facial expressions on stage.
This video really shows the importance of good audio.
Screamin' Jay Hawkins 1956
I'm surprised Gene Simmons didn't try to trademark or copyright all of it
Rip pelle yngve ''dead'' ollin, you will be missed dearly. May you thrive in the freezing moon for all eternity.
I thought it was absolutely obvious: ARTHUR BROWN (1966)
When it's cold and when it's dark the freezing moon can obsess you 🤘
Throwing out a semi-educated guess before hitting play: Arthur Brown
Keith Richards☠️
It's really fun to look at all these musicians and see how creative they have been in decorating their faces. I especially enjoy King Diamond's look. But I'd say that the history of greasepaint makeup in rock music has been anything but straightforward. Arthur Brown didn't look "corpse" to me; he looked "tribal," and that image of him reminds me of Johnny Depp's makeup as Tonto in THE LONE RANGER. Kiss, meanwhile, were never exactly a "Goth" band; their makeup influences seemed to be Japanese kabuki, hippie Day-Glo, "Ziggy Stardust" glitter, and (again) Native American war paint. If I had to give one person credit for inventing corpse paint, I'd have to go with Walter Reimann, who did the makeup for the classic silent film THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI, painting Conrad Veidt's face in what was clearly a corpse style.
King wasn’t the first, but damn did he make great music with a badass image.
They even said about Sarcófago, but focuses on Dead.
Queen Elizabeth inventet corpesepaint
I know they’re distinct genres, but have a lot of interplay... surprised no mention of goth/death rock. Christian Death, etc.
Corpse paint hmm. The whole shock rock aesthetic was born with Screaming Jay Hawkins, because in his live shows he came out of a coffin and the microphone was in a shape of a human skull. And of course he screamed a lot. I mean, what else would you expect from a guy named 'Screaming' Jay Hawkins? But he didn't do corpse paint. Fast forward to the early 60s and there was that guy named Screaming Lord Sutch. I guess we all can see what his inspiration was. He played shock rock, his songs had horror themes in them and he painted his face full white. Plush the costumes he wear and his highly theatrical performances. I think this was the first time we really had corpse paint. But if you are going to discuss this topic with a friend or anyone it's safe to mention Arthur Brown as the first. Because he also popularised it.
I love this series. its cool. Also i'd say Dead relly got it to be "Corpse paint" where as with Kiss King Diamond and Alice i think it was just makeup.
