Gimmicks
 

Pretty self-explanatory. List some of your fav gimmicks by a band/performer.

I'd have to say -- off the top of my head -- that GWAR is/was by far the most elaborate; gimmicky band that I am aware of. Other than the obvious outlandish costumes...they spray tons of blood into the audience, as well as some other concoctions as well (demon-semen)????? Anyway, the list of gimmicks goes on and on with them.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH! Whatever you do...don't ever post any pic from their official site. I posted what I thought was a pic of their lead singer...but when you post it...it says I LOVE COCK!!!!

LOL!

That would figure...I hate you GWAR!

*shakes fist*

I hate Gimmicks, they get boring after awhile. Gimmicks are good for the eyes. But if want to see something unique watch a movie or look at some art. Music is for the ears...

okay besides that. I like the Hives, They're Gimmick always makes me laugh at how fucking cocky they are. But they're music sucks, it makes no sense

there is a band out of Boston called the Upper Crust.
they dress like 17th Century British Lords and the lyrics are all topical ... but they have the ACDC sound.

sure its a gimmick but its as funny as hell, and their music stands up on its own ...



then there is Dread Zepplin.
again .. funny as hell gimmick .. but it works.

Well, just to be clear...I'm not usually of fan of these types of bands...GWAR, KISS, Ozzy, whatever...but their gimmicks are as much -- if not more -- a part of their identities as their music.

Also, regarding gimmicks...there seem to be so many that when a band has NONE like Nirvana, White Stripes, etc. THAT ends up being their "gimmick."

Don't forget Green Jello, they had quite a gimmick themselves..

96' Fits and their horror type dress was an awesome gimmick. The Warlock Pinchers once went on stage wearing diapers, Carpe Noctem wears like long priest robes, Demented Are Go's makeup is awesome, and whats their to say about the Adicts?

Bad Gimmicks:Slipknot, Motogrator, Mudvayne (although i like the band..the alien thing was gay as shit, so was the clown deal. Better without a gimmick, Limp Biskit, Kid Rock, Bubba Sparx and so fourth...

The dude that plays with George Clinton in Parliament has been wearing a diaper onstage forever. Clinton himself is a walking gimmick. They're whacked out.
