Music Trivia -> What A Band is Best Known For (aside from their music) -> G
What are various bands best known for outside of their musical abilities? Kiss for example are best known for their makeup.
His Long Tongue And Spitting Out Blood - Gene Simmons
He would bite on his tongue on purpose, producing the now-famous blood spitting at KISS concerts.
Rocky
Fire Breathing - Gene Simmons
Aside from spitting out blood Gene was also known for his fire breathing.
Celeste
Animation - Gorillaz
The singer, bassist, guitarist, and drummer of the band are each represented by a cartoon character (2D, Murdoc, Noodle, and Russel respectively). Their music videos are all in animation (and really awesome, by the way), and I'm pretty sure that you don't ever actually see the main band members at concerts, just silhouettes.

Declaring herself "Too old to Rock and Roll" - Grace Slick
In the late 80's she abruptly left Starship (originally Jefferson Airplane), citing her age. When interviewed on VH1 in 1998, she stated "all rock-and-rollers over the age of 50 look stupid and should retire" Despite this, she has occasionally made appearences, most notably her post-9-11 reunion with Starship where she went on stage in a burqa.
Ra'akone
Dead (as in real dead) keyboard players - The Grateful Dead
Namely, Pigpen, Keith Godchaux, Brent Mydland, and Vince Welnick. Tom Constanten is (for now) the only surviving Dead keyboardist, and currently with Jefferson Starship.
Rocky
Thier Fans - The Grateful Dead
Known as "Dead-Head's", these otherwise average citizens, have formed a strange sub-culture that will do anything, and go almost anywhere just to breath the same air as these sloppy hobo's. (I dont get it and probably never will)

Monster costumes, "splatter" special effects - GWAR
This goofy metal band is known for its over-the-top costumery and gross humor.
