Make me look metal

Alright... where do we start... first off get rid of everything in that pic....

Shoes
A) really tall black leather boots that lace up or
B) Overly large shoes (got to get the ladies interested)

Pants
A) Tighter than skin tight black leather pants with a lace zipper
B) Multicolored striped baggy pants w/ suspenders

Shirt
A) Studded Black leather vest (no shirt under it)
B) Plain white button up shirt

Makeup
A) Full white with black "wings" coming from your eyes
B) Full white with a frown drawn over

Wait wait wait... you said metal... I was thinking you were going for clown (no real hatred for Gene... just funny thought =D)


I just fell out of my chair when I read this!!! :D
 
  • Watch the Lemmy documentary *at least* 5 times
  • Black Jeans with the crotch cut out so that the adoring fans can see your leopard skin banana hammock
  • Motorcycle Boots in Black (If you’re as metal as Lemmy, you can get them inlaid with pictures of your hat)
  • A Motorcycle jacket (even in 110 degree heat - taking it off for any reason is most definitely not metal)
  • No shirt
  • Brand a phoenix into your chest - Leave aforementioned motorcycle jacket unzipped so that the adoring fans can see it.
  • Get a leather version of your golf cap. Have a row of silver chains with alternating hand-carved silver skulls and real animal skulls for a ‘hair’ effect.
  • Fingerless gloves to help you grip and pluck your thunderstick.

Hey this is kinda fun... What's the next look we're going for?


Doing only the first advice on that list should solve every problem in your life including this :D :bassist: :D

and trust me the metal uniform of his time did not include bell bottoms or any less than 20 lbs of black leather. Just be yourself. Also, keep the hat if you like it, and **** anyone who doesn't. That is metal. (Actually, it's punk, which will always be cooler than metal.)

Spinal Tapper: Judas Priest would argue that the leather biker hat is indeed very "metal".
