peteb Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1417083139' post='2616843'] Of course you need to take into account the gig but if you are doing a posh date in LOndon for good money, then you make sure you wear proper shoes... even if you have to change into them. Shoes tell you a lot ... [/quote] Absolutely - and nothing screams rock n'roll as loudly as a pair of highly polished black wingtips...!

MiltyG565 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1416962847' post='2615639'] You're wearing t-shirts too. Some T-shirts do look good on some people. Some people don't know this. Some people don't know recognise that they should never wear T-shirts. The thing is many folk are not t-shirt shaped. [/quote] I'm not t-shirt shaped. I'm more smoking jacket shaped. It hides the man-boobs better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 There seems to be a trend lately with people I've been playing with not to wear any shoes...it's not something that sits well with me so I've tended to move on :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I make an effort when making an effort is merited. If I'm playing 'the dog n duck' I don't. If I'm playing a gig, where the audience has paid £20 a head to see the band, I make an effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee4 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 To paraphrase Terry Pratchett(The Monks of Cool.Pratchett fans will know this one) "What's the coolest thing you can wear?" "Hey,whatever I put on will look cool!" . I always dress up for the stage,and expect the rest of the band to do likewise. After all,people go to [i]see[/i] a band........

tauzero Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 [quote name='blue' timestamp='1417044340' post='2616657'] I'm always looking for ideas and not afraid to push the wardrobe envelope. [/quote] I take something to wear when on stage which is different to whatever I've worn to set the gear up. Doing that gives me a reason to make some sort of decision about what I'll wear, rather than chucking on the first T-shirt I come to. Mrs Zero always puts thought into her clothes, and I am now under strict instructions to tell her if her bum (or any other bits) look big in this.

blue Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) [quote name='M@23' timestamp='1417029894' post='2616425'] What level are we talking - does it really have any impact on anyone what your local pub band wears? I couldn't care less, really, and I'm into fashion and take great care in my own appearance. For functions and weddings and maybe originals bands appearance certainly does matter, but down your local, where everyone else is dressed casually, I can't see why anyone would have a problem with jeans or whatever.[/quote] At the local level or high profile I don't think anything really matters, wear jeans, wear t shirts whatever. What I was saying was, unless your a teenager why show up for a gig looking like a bum? Blue Edited November 28, 2014 by blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) Jeans and t-shirt for a festival gig. Very basic. But I don't think I look like a bum. I look like an older guy in a rock band. Edited November 28, 2014 by blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Smalls Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I've always worn daft clothes when doing a gig... I just feel more comfortable that way! Here's me 25 years ago: And here's me last year, aged 50: I find that the dafter I look, the less the audience notice how appalling the music is! And it's still the same boots...
