Mini Kiss, a smaller rendition of Kiss, has been sticking their tongues out and wearing the swaggiest platforms since before you were even born.

2. Beatallica

Beatallica is a Beatles-Metallica mashup band that plays hits like, "While My Guitar Deathly Creeps." Beatles + head-banging thrash metal = what is up, like chocolate covered bacon.

3. Anti-Christ Superstar

Anti-Christ Superstar is a Marilyn Manson tribute band. Anyone who has the confidence to casually wear a half leather corset is cool in our book.

4. Dread Zepplin

Dread Zepplin, led by a Vegas Elvis impersonator with painted on side burns, performs reggae style Led Zeppelin songs. Check out their video, here. Nothing is weirder, or better than this.

5. Du Hast

Du Hast is a tribute to the famed German metal band, Rammstein. Going to a performance will simultaneously creep you out a bit and make your head thrash.

6. Who's Bad

Who's Bad is a Michael Jackson tribute band with a very interesting name choice.

7. Vag Halen

Vag Halen is an awesome feminist art rock band from Toronto that performs metal covers. Don't mess.

8. Metalachi

Metalachi is an ingenius metal-mariachi cross genre explosion that covers Black Sabbath and Metallica. They use a rock violin that is blue. (And check out his sunglasses).

9. Nudist Priest

Nudist Priest, though they sadly broke up in 2007, performed Judas Priest covers totally naked. YOW! Too bad the guitars are in the way.
