Members isvoid Posted April 8, 2012 Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 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. Cool, almost as good as Geddy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dolf Posted April 8, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 Rammstein. Another "live the gimmick" band. Mother{censored}ers sell out ANYWHERE they play, play festivals to a quarter of a million people...and take big rubber dicks out on stage to spray the crowd. That's called winning.

Members hairydangler Posted April 8, 2012 Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 Guitar dildos.Also, not being in a band.Also, playing terrible covers of Metallica songs.I could go on. Learned the quote function. Good on ya. One gimmick I love is where a band tours all over off the wallets of their friends and family. Ever heard of that one?

Members Miter Gauge Posted April 8, 2012 Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 I use the HCAF gimmick, I tell the audience that I was drunk when I made these clips and I have {censored}ty recording gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Miter Gauge Posted April 8, 2012 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. IRL they don't take themselves (or hygiene) very seriously.

Members hairydangler Posted April 8, 2012 Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 So, every band ever? Yeah all the broke ass ones. Oh, hey I seen you were taking donations so you could make an album. Looks like you got 10 dollars. I was going to send you 10 bucks so you could double your recording budget. But sadly it has expired. Sorry.

Members teemuk Posted April 8, 2012 Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 Manowar, the whole "Metal" -thingy. So over the top it's entertaining and they can actually back the thing up with good music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members teemuk Posted April 8, 2012 Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 Jethro Tull: the crazy hyperactive vocalist playing flute, making jokes and acting funny in various ways. Again coupled to awesome stage presence and top notch music performed superbly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mamberg Posted April 8, 2012 Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 Look at so many of the greats - Jim Morrison, Hendrix, Cobain. If you are really committed, you will die first - then live on forever!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Reauchambeau Posted April 8, 2012 Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 I've never heard a band so not live up to their gimmick, these guys are the softest most lame metal band I've ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Abouttreefitty Posted April 8, 2012 Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 They aren't for everyone. People either love it or {censored}ing hate it. I happen to think they are one of the best bands going today. Took me a couple of listens to really appreciate how unbelievably awesome their album is.
