American Head Charge Singer: ‘Metal Bands Are All Copying KISS

’ LONG BEACH, Calif. (Wireless Flash) – Ever wonder why today’s metal bands wear so much freaky make-up and have such bizarre spiked, dreadlocked and dyed hair? Well, it all goes back to KISS, according to Martin Cock, the singer from American Head Charge. He thinks “nu-metal” bands like Mudvayne and Slipknot dress so extreme because they’re all copying KISS since “...seeing KISS on stage was such a sight for the fans.” But Cock, whose band’s latest video “Just So You Know” recently debuted on MTV, admits he and his band are just as guilty and often take the stage dressed either “super scary” or “just insane.”
