Band Photo Question

[mrjim123]

My band has had several heated arguments about our upcoming band photo. Some of us are old and the question is, "Do we cut our nose hairs before the shoot?"

What do y'all think?

If you old guys cut your nose hairs on a regular basis, go for it! If not, don't! Your band photo should represent the real side of your band.

as long as you use a British accent, nose hairs and receding hairlines are very metal IMO

Braid them

I suggest removal of the nose hair by waxing, if the whole band goes in at one time to have it done you'll have a unique bonding experience And you'll look sharp for the photos!

band photo should be all of you dudes, crowding around a bathroom mirror, trimming your nose hair.

Two birds with one stone, right there.

Either way.

Just make sure you take the photo in front of a brick wall or on some railroad tracks.

If you can, do both. Totally original.

I looked, apparently train tracks NEVER run near brick walls... you'll have to build your own, but I agree, totally original!

Brick wall, rail road tracks, leather jacket (with one guy wearing a vest), acid wash jeans and matching mullets (with nose hair).

someone PS their band into this pic!

Remember - to have a credible band picture for a band of older white guys you will need:

-one guy with long scraggly metal hair but w/ a receding hairline, wearing sunglasses and dark clothing trying to look "cool". He'll need one hand on the hip and the other against a wall as if to say "hey ladies, here I am in all my middle age (past) glory.."

-one guy next to him to counterbalance. He'll have to be portly and wearing a Hawaiian shirt and shorts w/ white socks and sneakers. He must be smiling like a fool. It's better if you catch that guy in mid-laugh - far more effective.

-next you'll need the guy who's almost normal from what you can see, but half of his head and body will be blocked by the portly guy in front of him. The best pose is to catch the top part of his face from nose up behind the other guy. This way, you cant tell if he's smiling or grimacing.

-lastly you'll have a guy standing off to the side looking away from the camera into the distance as if trying to subliminally signal that he really wants nothing to do with this band or picture, but so far it's the only game in town so he just endures...
It's best if this guy is of a different race/ethnic background or age. It make for far better contrast and drives home the "oh lord, get me the heel outta here.." feel that you get from his pose.

Do this and you will have the old guy band pic down just right

do I really need to say it?????? front man

 

[BurningSkies]

Don't forget that the dude in the Hawaiian shirt should be wearing a fedora, or a panama hat. This is important to complete the middle-aged portly musician profile.

Your doing band photos soon?


Either someone will leave the band or the whole band will break up within 6 weeks of the photo shoot.Especially if you put together a nice promo pack.


Don't cut your nostril hairs,let your freak flag fly!
