Get a shirt that fits well. If it's short sleeves, make sure the sleeves don't do the pull away from your arm thing because it makes people look like frumpy dorks. Also if you move on stage those things will flap around and you'll look like a mega dork. If the band says no tshirts, get a black button up long sleeve shirt that fits well (athletic cut if your build is relatively straight up and down so it doesn't lay on you like a tarp, no pleated cuffs that give way to big blowsy pirate sleeves) and roll the sleeves up. Top several buttons undone but don't overdo it. The thicker the fabric, the more it will hide any features you might want to de-emphasize, but it will be hotter. Black tshirt underneath. Dark blue jeans with some elasticity for fit (not saying skinny jeans, just ones that fit your thighs and calves, and if they have some stretch they'll move with you, that's all I mean) and dark boots. Basically, go for dark colors, and although nothing has to be skin tight by any means, avoid anything baggy like the plague. You'll be fine! Actually scratch all that BS above. Just wear this and maybe some swim trunks / hotpants and some big kick rear end stompin boots. GreatGreen fucked around with this message at 05:29 on Mar 25, 2022 |

I want a Squid Game costume. Not sure which one. Topical! Here is some very stupid music poo poo. Of course Living On A Prayer landed on the setlist (I promise I did not pick it but I am not complaining, either.) This poses a serious problem for the talk-box-challenged. Should you even bother trying to do that song without Ritchie Sambora's talk-box? I had a hunch a few minutes with google would take me to a preset for my modeler since it's a popular cover tune and sure enough I found this handy preset. I spent $10 on it and it's really really fun to use. To open and close your "mouth" you rock the pedal just like a wah-wah and it sounds. Good? I took my foot controller off the desk and set it on the floor to see if I could actually switch all these presets and work this effect in real-time. The amp is a model of a Friedman HBE V1. The guitar is an Ibanez RG1070. The attitude is pure 80's. Right in my veins. https://soundcloud.com/dr-faustus777/livin-on-a-talk-box P.S. - Really really sorry about the awful backing track. It's all I had. For once that is not me ruining any of the vocals, I just ran a guitar part through the solo. Dr. Faustus fucked around with this message at 10:13 on Mar 25, 2022 |

Nowadays I don't really dress up for music, but there was a time when I did, playing with loud hard rock bands. (Yeah that time was 20 years ago.)

My gf is being super not-helpful about this, which is kinda why I'm here instead of just letting her dress me; but I think we found a compromise: Lenny Kravits. I told her yes to the Bohemian look with the ripped jeans as long as the colors are dark. That sounds douchey I guess but as much as I like the gym-sock route there aren't any gym socks large enough.

Or on a more serious note black pants, white dress, and absolutely hideous vest. Like 90s Brian May, you ever see what he wore on stage at Les Paul's club?

I had forgotten all about Lenny's "unfortunate" wardrobe malfunction. Such problems to have. The guy said, "No Dad jeans" and so I am not sure what Dad Jeans are but i figure black jeans, probably distressed, would be fine with my boring old black boots. I love my dumbass black boots (another point where she is putting her foot down: she wants to dress me in boots of some kind and I am trying to stress to her the importance not falling to my death on stage. I have to work expression pedals for extended periods so I will only have one solid foot planted. izagoof posted:yeah that sounds like it will work incredibly well live, not bad!

(talkbox sounds good btw)

Dad jeans:  Light blue, slightly stonewash color texture, no stretch. Acceptable jeans:   Dark blue, has some stretch. Basically, if it looks anything at all like those stonewashed colored, baggy rear end, covered wagon canvas material jeans every zoomer girl wears these days like an idiot, stay away from them if you're a guy. And if you're a girl, for that matter. Fashion talk. Definitely stupid music poo poo. GreatGreen fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Mar 25, 2022 |

i have clearly been ignoring a lot of nuance in the jean scene. those light blue ones are peak 80s dad though, so i think i finally understand, and i kinda feel like maybe "no Dad jeans" is a good rule for life and not just this particular performance

Automatic Slim posted:^^^^^^^^^^^^^ As an aside, I worked in a comic book store with a local legend everyone knows as Metal Fred and he was one of ten people at the first Manowar show in Philadelphia. The band was used to playing soccer stadiums in Europe and brought that intensity to a small club in the middle of the week. They were out there in very little but dead animals just terrorizing the hell out of the audience. He got his first Manowar tattoo right after it.
