You should go wearing black robes and corpse paint, sing all your backing vocals in a death metal growl, and make your vocalist translate your demonic growled comments between songs. Like your main band is Cryptic Coroner from South Central Poland and this is a side gig that you’re just barely prepared for.

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.

I think it's in there. After the solo there is nothing left to do on the studio track so I omitted the rest. Thanks for listening, though. For better or for worse, that's what I'm going to do in the band unless they force a real talk-box on me.

if you leave with any knowledge then please know that these



are also dad jeans.

and if anyone insists they aren't ... that's-a extra cheugy

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.

The threshold of any great artist is terrorizing the audience.

Woah slow down please. He's cool, fashion isn't exactly something he knows how to talk about. He knows what he doesn't want better than what he does and it's ok. No need to crucify the dood.

I just kinda winged it and bought these four pieces at the same place:

For pants I bought a pair of linen drawstring beach pants for outdoor warm-weather gigs, and these stupid black jeans for indoor gigs.
For shirts I bought this loose linen shirt, again for warm out-door gigs, and for inside I picked this long-sleeved shirt, which I find inoffensive (mostly.)

I can't be arsed to put any more effort into this for now. I spent $125 total after coupons, so it's no great loss. If anything is really reprehensible I will send it back.

Ok I wish you all could have seen the lady of the house's reaction to that shirt. She could not hide her... distaste would be doing a lot of heavy lifting. gently caress it. I'm a macho man or whatever. Or I'm Woody Harrelson or Lebowski or someone. Ok I am going to look ridiculous and I have accepted this.

Why did you go for the disco shirt? There's a whole section for shirts for musicians! I honestly don't know how you overlooked it!

How the hell do you find good clothes for the stage? I have no idea what people are wearing because when I think of guys my age in cover bands all I can picture are bowling shirts or mechanic shirts. I do not want to do the Guy Fieri.

I don't have time to go trolling Goodwills or what-have-you. Is there any place online that has stylish, affordable stuff? I'm way out of my element on this one.

I'm not exactly the kinda guy who likes to wear skulls and poo poo like that.
The thing with "stage" outfits or outfits outside your normal zone is you can dress up, but you're probably not fooling anyone if that outfit isn't "you" unless you go Kraftwerk/Daft Punk faceless bot mode. Looking natural while dressed ridiculously takes practice for most people. Make sure you've practiced wearing it in public and playing in it; both can be skills.

Better looking natural in jeans and a black well-fitting t-shirt than deer in headlights in something else. Unless that's your look, in which case, rock it.

I remember before my first gig I dyed my hair purple and was stressing about what to wear. I also asked the singer/guitarist if there was anything he wanted to rehearse for the stage to try and get the audience moving and he said "we are not there to entertain people" which is maybe the dumbest thing I've ever heard about performing music and inspired me to look really goofy on stage compared to him.

I used to wear button up beach shirts from target over a plain white t-shirt also from target, but that may be because we played a bunch of Beach Boys and Jimmy Buffett.

I looked and felt incredibly awkward my first couple of gigs, but that has more to do with having not played in front of a crowd for 13 years.

Previous gig’s setlists might qualify for the thread title, but I still play through them when I have a case of the Mondays, so hey whatever works!
