Members Dolf Posted April 8, 2012 Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 Every band's got one. The "over-the-top-I'm-better-than-God-and-Lemmy-combined" rocker The "Satan is great" metal band The "Our music is probably over your head" hipster/tool There are only a couple dozen of these gimmicks, period. Bands are just re-using them. So, what's your favorite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dolf Posted April 8, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 Cooking chicken for the road crew. So, show we played in Orlando recently, my wife was coming out hours later than I was supposed to get there for load in and whatnot. That night, she made fried chicken. I asked her to bring me a piece so I wouldn't have to buy food in downtown Orlando. She brought me six bigass chicken legs. Six. Wrapped in wax paper and foil. She showed up with what looked like an entire roast in foil walking down Orange avenue. I had one, billy had one, billy's girlfriend had one and we gave the rest to a homeless guy. True story.

Members Dolf Posted April 8, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 Anyway, to answer my own question, Gwar is my favorite band gimmick. Period. Those {censored}ers have lived the gimmick the entirety of their career/lives. They sell it so hard. I envy their commitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
