Lame. The "tight jeans" was beyond stupid. Audiences don't come to see you, they come to party, meet people, dance to a tight groove. Get that down and your audience will be pleased.

Stupid Hat (pork pie, fedora, fez, etc.) and leather Pants.

If neither of those work, try spitting blood and/or flames.

Is this a serious video? What a hillbilly.... he's even holding a Pabst Blue Ribbon.... I drink Bud and that stuff is for rednecks...

As mentioned he does make SOME good points though, I hate seeing a good bass player stare at his fretboard, learn the thing before you come out...

ENJOY WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!

I'm pretty sure this is just tongue in cheek. He has other videos that are similar, with that dry sense of humor. In several of his "tutorials" he makes a great production of drinking his beers while filming. And he can actually play the bass.

I really enjoy his humor.
