There's something totally irrisistible about bands in masks, be it Slipknot, Lordi or the Tweenies. The original scum puppies behind this gimmick are, of course, Gwar and, praise Satan!, they're coming to Wolverhampton Civic. The gig's on Tuesday March 13. Tickets cost 11 of your earth pounds. I bring you this information not because I expect you to go but because I just had to share this nugget from the press release sent out by the venue:
The band is best known for their elaborate sci-fi/horror film inspired costumes; raunchy, obscene, politically incorrect lyrics; and graphic stage performances, which consist of humorous re-enactments of scatology, sadomasochism, necrophilia, paedophilia, bestiality, fire dancing, pagan rituals, executions, and other controversial violent and political themes. GWAR has been on the leading edge of shock rock since their formation.
humorous re-enactments of scatology???? That takes the biscuit....

Surely the original masked men were Kiss?
In fact, aren't Slipknot just a Kiss for the thrash/emo/goth/industrial/neo-industrialist/post-modern Banana Splits generation?
