Musicians on stage: wearing black socks.

[Hounddog409]

I always wear boots; socks are my little secret.

Who freaking cares? I'm there to listen to them play not critique there fashion choices.

Just no shorts and black socks. No. No. No. Not ever. Black socks must be largely concealed excepting incidental moments when the pants cuff flashes the viewer with it. Still ppl wear them with sandals (HOT! HOT!), usually while mowing the yard, in shorts, showing off more pale white terrain than the Arctic after a snowstorm. It’s heinously ugly. Just stop.
Jennifer Lopez couldn’t pull off that look (ok, SHE could, but you or I or any of us mere mortals hav

 

[Aceman]

As always - dress for the gig.

Black tie/wedding, then black pants, black shoes, and black socks.
Super Bowl party? Team colors, and likely white sneakers, white tube socks, and team colors, or team socks.
80's - socks don't matter, you wear boots or high tops. MAYBE sparkly sox.
70 Glam? Short shorts and pantyhose, with platforms - again sparkly is a given.
Goth/Doom - fishnets.
Southern rock? Realtree camo

Be professional no matter what. It is rarely the color - but the context.

If you're wearing cargo shorts, a hawaiian shirt, a fedora, and sandals, then black socks are a must.

Also, these guys are pulling them off quite nicely:

They'll get some leg tonite, for sure.

 

[Madhouse27]

They go good with black leather pants.

 

[Rip Van Dan]

Best socks for metal?

Bright steel socks of course!

 

[Rip Van Dan]

Socks? I wear Crocs....no need for socks!

 

[Kukulkan61]

I wear Tort Sox !!

 

[lbbc]

When I wear socks...I wear black socks. But, then again, I wear black shoes, black jeans and a blue and black OR orange and black shirt. I don't see a problem with it

[ProbablyTooLoud]

I mean really?
Discuss....

That'd be 33 1/4 inches of black socks.

 

[Kukulkan61]

Be thankful you have feet.

Ya, be thankful you have feet!!

 

[JES]

With this thread, can we agree that Talkbass has now officially covered every possible bass-related discussion topic?

I dunno. Let’s discuss.

 

[1bassplayinfool]

Only if they can go over the calf... cheers.

 

[Killing Floor]

If you want to keep it apolitical you're left with very little to discuss. Even within a musician's forum.

Also you can’t post a picture of some socks. But you can post a picture of the Chili Peppers in their socks.

 

[Ronnie Thunders]

Argoiles, birkenstocks, four strings and a dream. Boy you got a panty on your head.

I was afraid of some warning points when I posted about Flea wearing a sock...I was going to post a pic...but...naw.

 

[Mr.Ace]
