If we aren't talking strictly metal, I'd say POLYPHONIC SPREE...they work that cult thing well.....

I have grown so acustomed to that schoolboy outfit that if Angus stopped wearing it I would see that as a gimmick.

Kiss' makeup and Gene's blood-spitting.
The Who destroying their stage and equipment.
Jackyl's musical chainsaw

Here's another one:
What about The Plasmatics and their penchant for chainsawing things and blowing up cars on stage?

In 1995 a buddy of mine and me were in the big apple going to a comic book show that Gwar was at (as well as Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of KISS this is before KISS made their comeback as autographs were 10 bucks I regret not getting a polaroid with them) Anyways while we were waiting in line to get into the show we saw Gwar out of costume (they were carrying them) go in and my buddy said to me "Hey Thats Gwar" he didnt yell it or anything but they were close enough to us that we heard them say with a chuckle "We're not Gwar" it was obvious that it was Gwar lol

My favorite band (gimmick or otherwise) had Zal Cleminson in mime makeup, Hugh McKenna in a bathrobe, and Alex Harvey in I guess sort of a waterfront punk outfit. Too bad that this and their novelty songs are sometimes all they are remembered for because they kicked butt generally.
