Dear sweet baby Jesus yes. I have all their albums. Though I wish more people stateside knew about 'em, they're rockin' hardcore.
Back on topic,
Stage performers that tend to think that doing outrageous acts is a good thing are begging for attention because they can't give a good show in earnest. There are bands out there who can put on a good show just by playing music and doing it well, they don't need any cheap shots like these LookatmeI'mdoingsomethingcrazy bands.
As far as any other forms of self mutalation is concerned, I prefer to look back at the old theory of Natural Selection. As cold and as harsh as that sounds, it's true. No amount of self motivation speeches or posters is going to bring these self loathing people back out of their depression save for themselves, and the only way they're interested in getting out of that depression is doing something to go against the biological operations that every human being adheres to. There's little you can do for friends and family that are like this save for being there for them and showing them that there's someone close to them that still gives a damn about them. If they still keep at it, beat 'em half to death and tell them that you've been caring for them for the whole while they've been complaining that no one loves them, etc., etc. Maybe that'll do something instead of shoving them towards a psychiatrist.
Did I mention Within Temptation is awesome?
