if you refuse to lose the hat, then find a cooler hat to wear over the top of it...or if you really want to keep the hat and really be metal, wear it as a codpiece.

Make me look metal
- Thread starter oniman7

I like the hat. But it should be obvious to all that the most authentic way to be metal is to have a tailored suit made of aluminum foil, copper foil, and tin foil. Oh, and be sure all your equipment is properly grounded!
I may definitely try that once I can justify it. But to be honest, that much seems risky until we have a larger fan base. if we're bad or don't pull well, I'll be recognized as that guy who played in full body paint.
But definitely will try it when I'm regularly gigging. Do they have body paint that's safe for skin? =p

absolutely.
also, if you insist on that hat, wear a matching kilt, dye your hair red and put on some zombie makeup...be a zombie Scottish golfer, that's fairly original
also, a real suggestion, button up your shirt--you look like a thin guy and a big huge unbuttoned buttondown looks bad imo. You said heavy alt, not grunge.
lol, all great ideas. They sell body paint for just $15. Perhaps this was a dangerous thread to make...
All the metal bands we play with from all various "sub genre's" and bands I've seen locally(basically non mainstream metal), everyone usually just dresses how they normally do. It's all about the Music now with Metal. Glam really put a crap stain on Metal as far as I'm concerned, and gave it a really bad stereotype.
It's fun to dress up sometimes and be goofy if that's your thing, but how you dress is not going to impress a modern day metal crowd at all. In fact if you costume up chances are you'll just turn people off.

And at 6'2", he's a looking over most people's heads. Size doesn't matter, nor do clothes. Your actions and playing demand respect, take Flea for example, usually rocks without a shirt, is standing around 5'7 or so, and still kicks some arse.
every metal band around here just wears jeans and shirts of their favorite metal band.
BLACK t-shirts, you need much more black, or see if you can find another golf hat but in charcoal grey and black.
