Re: Rock 'n Roll Signatures

• Bob Marley: Rastafarian themes; dreadlock hair; weed
• Christopher "Kid" Reid (Kid 'N Play): "High Top Fade" hairdo
• Billy Idol: spiked hair; fitted leather pants; contorted lip snear; tightened-fist punching gestures
• Boy George (Culture Club): cross-dresser
• Annie Lennox: short hair; business suits (she's awesome!)
• Dee Snider (Twisted Sister): Worst make-up job ever worn by a man (if Gene Simmons were a woman, that's what he'd look like)

Cheap Trick
Tom Petersson's 12 string Bass
Bun E. Carlos's giant drum sticks
Rick Neilson's hundreds of picks thrown to the audience at each show
Robin Zander's "Man of a thousand voices" (who needs a gimmic with that?)
Lyricly: Using lines and titles from earlier songs in new songs
Riffage: When performing will drop in riffs from popular (often Beatles) songs

Angel
All white costumes, the yin to Kiss's yang

Stevie Ray Vaughn: His huge cowboy hats & the iconic, beat to death "number one" strat.

Iron Maiden
Always have some image of their mascot "Eddie" on stage.

The Ramones
A roadie in a "geek" mask waving a "Gabba Gabba Hey" sign

ZZ Top
Of course...the beards, but also very cool matching suits & guitars

Jimmy Buffett
Performs barefoot and usually includes a song related to the town he's playing in.

KISS
Can't mention Kiss without giving a nod to Ace Frehley's smoking guitar
