Studs & Leather – Kinky Metal Top Ten Music Chart
Our musical Top Tens dedicated to all things kinky
This chart covers Heavy Metal, Hard Rock, Thrash & Alternative music, as there just weren’t enough classic Heavy Metal tracks about kink or anything to do with sex! Even Black Leather by Guns N’ Roses is a Sex Pistols cover.
The music video for Happiness in Slavery by Nine Inch Nails was almost universally banned for its depiction of Bob Flanagan (see here) being tortured by a machine. It was inspired by Octave Mirabeaux’s decadent classic book The Torture Garden (1899). (The book which also became the namesake of infamous UK fetish club, Torture Garden.) I have managed to find the opening minute of the video but the rest is still censored.
It was a conscious decision not to make this an all male chart and I did pretty good finding four outstanding female entries.
