Excellent Pipes. All three of them. I must say I lean toward the Nosferatu myself. I could smoke that while listening to my favorite Type O and Danzig!
I'll second that "Woah!" :twisted: The Only Pipe I need is THE ACE OF SPADES! THE ACE OF SPADES!
I was thinking about it at work today (you, know, instead of actually DOING work) and If I ever did a Lemmy Tribute Pipe, I would copy the finish of his Rickenbacker (the new badass carved one) and try and mimic the shape of the Shure SM-57 microphones he sings through.
A Pete Steele/Type O Negative Pipe anyone? Cyndi's selection with the cool stem would be close. If you could get a green band on there somewhere...
The day Pete died I started a batch of Blackberry mead (total coincidence. I was brewing as I heard about it on the news!) I called it "Black Number One" in his honor and I have 6 bottles set back to age. I drank the rest. Yep both cases.
Sorry to necropost, but I love that Savinelli Alligator. However, the ultimate metal pipes might be a bit more Viking or German militaria in appearance.
...so the golden age of metal was a few years after my joining the workforce ... I still like the Sav Alligator, to background the heavy metalist's tattoos, piercings, alarming hair, etc. The other pipes bespeak the culture but may tend to upstage the metal man himself ... or so spake the wardrobe department.
I've listened to my share of metal music over the years, but as far as pipes go, I'm surprised no one has ever gotten an old leather covered pipe, cleaned it up, stained the leather black, and stuck little metal studs on it! Sounds like it would be the go to for a 70s/80s metal head pipe.
