Removing wick to Did Not Do The Research per rename at TRS.


* DidNotDoTheResearch: From fans of death metal, one minor gripe would be that DMC is not a death metal band at all. Their sound is comparable to post-thrash[=/=]{{groove metal}} bands like Music/{{Pantera}}, {{Sepultura}}, {{Soulfly}}, Machine Head and LambOfGod (although with a darker, more onimous feel reminiscent of some modern shock rockers.)
** Not only that, but DMC's image would befit black metal rather than death metal, what with the corpse paint and all. [[JustifiedTrope Seeing as the title is a reference to KISS, though...]]

** Gets a bit less comedic when Negishi comes scarily close to realistically raping his love object in the "Kyushu Boy" chapter of the manga.

** Leaving concerts you are playing in without being mauled by disappointed fans? Also TruthInTelevision. See GunsNRoses or XJapan for quite a few examples of this.

** [[ScienceMarchesOn The unplugged electric guitar is also TruthInTelevision to some degree now]], [[CaptainObvious though you could not play full songs without the rest of the band with it]] in RealLife. Battery power and a wireless amp (or an amp wired into a guitar itself) could allow for such - though the sound would definitely be weaker.

** RefugeInAudacity and the Japanese public's version of the WeirdnessCensor tending to be "ignore and shun as if it does not exist" as opposed to the American version of YouCanPanicNow (and the {{Yakuza}} connections of some VisualKei labels and management) meant VisualKei artists could, for a while, get away with some activities that would have a "normal" Japanese arrested instantly. So this is arguably TruthInTelevision to some degree.
