I've moved this from corpse paint because that term is not restricted to heavy metal. Corpse paint may be used in religious ceremonies, for instance, or in other art forms. JoaoRicardo 15:30, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Does Alice Cooper even count? All he's wearing is eyeliner. Last I checked, eyeliner was not corpse paint. Dysfunktion 23:32, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Same with Dave Vanian. If you're going to include him; you might as well add Siouxsie Sioux, Adam Ant, and Jordan (Ants Girlfriend and Vivienne Westwood model) since they had a more original style. Alot better than just painting black circles around their eyes anyway.

No mention of Merciful Fate and King Diamond?
The makeup of KISS was taken from Japanese kabuki theater paint/masks and not 'corpse paint' whatever that is. Though I suspect many of the later artists were copying KISS more than they were trying to look like zombies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.210.189.180 ( talk) 14:35, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
Aren't they the same band? *rolls eyes*
Isn't it a bit wrong to use Immortal as the main example of corpse paint when they claim it is infact war-paint that they wear, not corpse-paint?

Explain the difference. 83.254.42.117 ( talk) 09:47, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
How is corpse paint made? I mean it's interesting to know what is used as white and black paint? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fenrisulfrsen ( talk • contribs) 15:29, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Image:Gorgorothvid.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I added Gene Simmons since there were two from Gorgoroth, article is about Corpse Paint not death/black metal or even rock per se. Its fair to say Kiss have used Corpse paint far longer than most of the one's depicted Bluecapsulesex ( talk) 19:22, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
KISS wear face paint. Corpse paint is associated with black metal. It is not fair to say any such thing. 77.101.47.254 ( talk) 15:16, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
Isn't ICP more an example, and openly admitted so, of clown makeup? I fail to see how clown makeup classifies as corpse paint. 72.251.19.2 ( talk) 12:35, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
Is it nescessary to have 20 pictures demonstrating corpse paint? 212.250.138.33 ( talk) 02:00, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
Corpse paint is strictly associated with black metal. A crossover band might wear it to acknowledge BM influence, but devoid of cultural context it's just face-paint.
Unless someone can argue convincingly for this section I will delete it. 77.101.47.254 ( talk) 12:46, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
Still waiting. 77.101.47.254 ( talk) 15:13, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
As far as I know Venom never used corpse paint.
The origins of the corpse paint is not just for them to appear inhumane. It started way back since pagan priests used to corpse paint their faces during a sacrificial ritual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.103.8.98 ( talk) 20:50, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
I think that the top picture in the article could be improved. It's not a super distinct image, especially since a lot of the actual corpse paint is covered by the spikes — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:8A89:390:ADC6:902A:E963:3599 ( talk) 21:24, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
