What do you think about bands with gimmicks? Do the gimmicks tend to overshadow the music? I feel that bands like KISS are more known for their face painting and on stage presence than their music. Granted, I'm sure their fan base appreciates their music, but the general majority know them for just their gimmick. When I think of Slipknot I can't help but think of their absurd masks. I can't say that I've ever enjoyed music from a band with a wild gimmick, but those bands tend to fall into a genre I don't listen to.

Yeah, KISS is definitely what comes to mind. I love their music, but they're mostly known for their makeup and performances.

Hollywood Undead, KISS, Slipknot, Village People...I equate them all in the same category and don't care for them one bit.
Probably the only 'gimmick' bands I truly respect and adore hearing are 'the Gorillaz' & 'Daft Punk'.

Gwar......all I am saying is Gwar.....I LOVE GWAR!!!!! lol
I mean look, yeah they have their gimmicks they cant really stop but they are still musicians.....I enjoy KISS, GWAR, Slipknot, Mushroomhead, and yes even some GaGa for what it is though not their gimmick.

Oh...Another horrible one...Ke$ha...She dresses weird too and always seems to be high, even though she's probably not.

ICP comes to mind first...I enjoy them but generally don't enjoy most of the bands already mentioned in this thread.

Really KISS and Slipknot come to mind, I really don't like either of them.

I like Slipknot, could care less about the gimmick factor of their music. I don't care for Mushroomhead though.
You can lump Deadsy in there, and even Manowar to some extent...to me it should be all about the music....

Aquabats, GWAR, Peelander Z = awesome
Slipknot, Mushroomhead, Ooze, etc. = White trash catnip.

I know a lot of people here really like Hollywood Undead, which is fine, but I think they're one of the worst bands to surface in a long time. |
