Anytime someone tells you America isn’t the greatest country in the world, you ask them where else a bunch of dudes could dress up as McDonald’s characters and sing Black Sabbath covers about hamburgers and actually make good money doing it.

Kudos, Vegas. This is the type of offbeat show you’d expect on the coasts, but the crowd was mighty. One guy even knew all the words to the spoof songs. And you guessed it, he was standing alone.

More than the music, I took great enjoyment from lead singer Ronald Osborne’s dedication to puns. Some of the simpler fast-food freebies were other bands he’s played in—CinnaBonJovi, Gwarby’s, Dairy Queensrÿche and Dokken Donuts. These were necessary to get to that painfully excellent next level of Van Halens Crafters, which as Osborne pointed out made no sense since it didn’t have a food tie-in. The piéce de résistance, however, was mentioning Mac Sabbath’s time touring with British group Bauhaus of Pancakes, who played their smash hit “Taco Bela Lugosi’s Dead.”

The commitment to Halloween was impressive. Band members Slayer MacCheeze and Grimalice wore costumes on top of costumes—Slayer was dressed as a pirate and Grim was a ghost. It works on so many levels.
