One of those names who's music you probably don't know, but probably have heard of, because they're so over the top.
GWAR "Let Us Slay" (OFFICIAL VIDEO) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NzA4XLjRaM#ws)
Ya, okie dokie, anyhoo...
The lead singer and last original member of Gwar died in March. I only heard about it today as today it was determined to be the ever available heroine overdose that did him in.
Rest in...gore.

Must have been some wicked billions-years-old space junk from planet Hypnotrance...

It's nice to know that over-the-top costumes and shock value for its own sake have their limits as far as creating success. Gwar proved it.

Funny you mention that, as the primary reason Kiss never got much respect, for a long time, was because of that. A radio station I used to listen to (who recently came back on the internet after 20 years!) never played Kiss, even though their music would normally fit the format, because they thought of them as clowns, and not serious.
Only after a lot of time passed, could the haters admit Kiss wrote some pretty memorable stuff. A lot of it, in fact.

I kinda don't think that'll happen for Gwar.

I think there's only one or 2 songs from Kiss that I care for. Gwar....lets just say I feel old.
