message: 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)

message: 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?

message: 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)
replies: text: That is sort of like asking how bodypaint is made. There are different ways to make it. See for example https://www.kscopeart.com/face-painting-ingredients-and-safety/ or https://www.personalcreations.com/blog/homemade-face-paint Bevidsthed (talk) 00:05, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Gorgorothvid.jpg

message: 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)
replies: text: It would be great if you first read the rules before adding pictures. Is plagiarism of text allowed in Wikipedia? No. Is plagiarism with images allowed? No. You can not simply grab an image from the internet and claim it your own work, but it must be entirely your own work that you can publish it under a free license and thats requried for images in the free encyclopedia... Please pay attention to copyrights and dont make false author statements. The reason why we have no image of Kiss in the gallery is possibly that 1) Wikipedia is not a picture book 2) we dont have a free image. --Martin H. (talk) 19:30, 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)

message: 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)
replies: text: I would delete it, unless a direct connection to black metal can be proved. Other uses are just other uses of facepaint.--¿3family6 contribs 15:47, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

message: 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)

message: 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)
