4. Love Fist (GTA: Vice City)
Ok, 'Love Fist' don't count as one character, but the faux-80's rock band are simply too good to miss out. Hailing from Scotland, as well as the nightmares of Iron Maiden and Motley Crue, the group are on a massive world tour at the time GTA: Vice City takes place. It's of immense credit to Rockstar that even when crafting a phoney rock band, they still manage to make them stand on their own merits. Coming across exactly how fans would imagine lucky young men who have landed in a world of rock n' roll excess to act, the radio adverts, cutscene footage and general interactions with Love Fist have become legendary amongst long time GTA enthusiasts. The question is, how did they get to the point of being one of the biggest bands on the planet? Heavy metal was huge during the mid-80's, that much is true, but each member is plainly a complete idiot, even if they have songs which aren't all that bad. In actual fact, the likes of 'Dangerous Bastard' and 'Fist Fury' are awesome tracks, available nowadays on both iTunes and Spotify. Not bad for a fictional band.
