Guest snuffbox Report post Posted December 23, 2002 Ok, heres the question- You're onstage and in a band, finally playin a show!...you can be the frontman, or guitarist or whatever you want. What would you wear on stage. I know it sounds like a gay question, but the board can stand to liven up a bit, so hopefully thisll get some interesting responses!

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted December 23, 2002 Well, every time I've played in front of people, I've been wearing what I always wear. Plain one-color t-shirt. Jeans. Once I played in a kilt, but that was just for shits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted December 23, 2002 I have a navy blue J Crew long-sleeve, with the right sleeve cut off completely and the left sleeve still intact. I'd wear that with a white t-shirt under it. Then, throw on a pair of jeans and my Docs, make sure my wallet-chain's on, and maybe I'd paint an "X" on my forehead for shits and giggles. OR... All black. Black t-shirt, black wide leg jeans, and my black Docs. Wallet-chain is a must again. OR... Wifebeater left untucked, wide legs jeans, wallet-chain, and my Chucks.

Guest snuffbox Report post Posted December 23, 2002 HAHA!...Hell yeah! This shit could be kinda funny! Ive never been able to play live. Seems my band experiences have just been excuses to get severely drunk or highly medicated. At least the excuse worked! If I played a metal show, Id prolly be wearing some worn blue jeans and a dark tshirt or hoodie. Acoustic/lighter sets - Khaki/cargo pants and a lighter/earthtoned t shirt or hooded sweatshirt Variables to be worn if the time feels right...leather pants for the ladies/Jimbo Morrison look or the jeans with an array of flashy/odd 'rockstarish' shirts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted December 23, 2002 Acoustic sets..pshaw. If I was on stage in front of a FUCKLOAD of people, and by that I mean at least a few thousand, I'd probably wear something like..I don't know..a one color t-shirt and some jeans. Especially with metal. So many bands get up there all clad in black with chains and spikes coming out of their ass and everything, that when you see the band, you pretty much know what to expect. Now, when three dudes get up there dressed like they just got out of bed and threw something on, with a jazz bass, a 4 piece drumkit, and a strat or something, THEN proceed to go fucking apeshit with 18 second songs with blast and groove breakdowns that rip people's faces off, they'll not be so quick to judge next time.

Guest Respect The 'Taker Report post Posted December 23, 2002 You were right, this DOES reek of gayness. Illusion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest snuffbox Report post Posted December 23, 2002 Haha...yeah, gayness indeed! But I doubt any response can match the gayness of a certain eccentric frontman who toured the world in a pair of balls-tight mini biker shorts. As it is tho, the only song I ever managed to 'sing' during my band days was a fittingly drunken rendition of Nighttrain. And I cant remember what I happened to be wearing at the time.

Guest kingkamala Report post Posted December 23, 2002 A pink feather boa, bright purple spandex, a banana yellow tank top that says bitch and the kind of sunglasses Elton John used to wear in th 70's. That would pretty much be my outfit if I ever played a gangster rap show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted December 23, 2002 Actually the last band I was in was sort of artistically gay... generally I'd wear some black jeans, no shirt, weird make up, and big ass platform boots. Once in a great while I'll dj a show, but I don't care what I wear for that. Jeans, white tshirt mostly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest snuffbox Report post Posted December 27, 2002 Illusion, Im actually a huge GnR mark! I usually only crack 'jokes' about the bands I really like(Smashing Pumpkins, Neil Young, AC/DC, GnR, etc). Ive been brought to the cusp of violence and beyond when the radio station dial is threatened with GnR playin! And yes, Axl did pull off the biker shorts look...Im just not too sure if thats a good thing or not! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Respect The 'Taker Report post Posted December 27, 2002 Lol, well Axl's dress sense is QUITE questionable for a homophobe at times. However you'll also find that guys like David Lee Roth, Steven Tyler & Mick Jagger have also fallen victim to skin tight clothing, and they are arguably the finest front men to ever exist. I can see how the bike pants would have been great for Axl to race around stage in and do all his custom jumps and high kicks...but that doesn't mean it LOOKS particularly great on him. Lucky for Axl, he's got the fact he is GOD on his side, so i'lll let it slide. Illusion - Obsessive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted December 27, 2002 So you were laughing because I happened to say I'd probably wear all black, or because I said I needed the wallet-chain (which I wear all the time anyways, be it a formal setting or not)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
