[quote name='sblymnlcrymnl']True, but I can't help but think that many of Zombie's fans just don't get the joke. They seem to take the gimmicks at face value. Not that you're one of those people, but they are out there.[/QUOTE]
Slipknot, Gwar, Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Kiss....All these guys used makeup and gimmicks but the first original guy to do this was the one and only ALICE COOPER! He's the man. I love that song 'I'm 18' and 'Billion Dollar Babies' and 'Schools Out!'
All those guys owe a debt to Alice Cooper.
BTW- All you people doing some fact checking will realize that Alice Cooper preceeded KISS by a good 4 years.
