See main article: Limozeen

Limozeen primarily spoofs the glam metal subgenre. The original picture of the band, as seen in monster truck, is composed of four photos of The Brothers Chaps' older brother Donnie, dressed as Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil for Halloween 1987; Crüe is among the many influences on the sound of the band. Their logo resembles the design of the AC/DC logo.
