Wearing shorts on stage.

[JehuJava]

It's not so simple. Shorts these days are so long they have become capri pants, just baggier.

Since we're a society that has to label stuff, what would they be called...baggy capris that is?

 

[pklima]

They are called shorts. Confusing, isn't it?

This has always been one of the most controversial issues on TB.

Worse than P vs J? Fender vs everything else?

I'm not. It is TB after all.

I'm not sure which side of the argument this picture supports, but I feel it needs to be a part of this thread.

Around here anything below 18ºC is considered deep winter, so...yeah, shorts all the way.

I have to control my thoughts when I look at the fans of other genres also. Like metal fans. I don't get it at all. I like some metal but don't get long hair one bit. But they're doing what they're doing and it works for them.

I don't get metal either
90% of the ads looking for bass players are metal. I still can't figure out where all these metal bands are gigging in Milwaukee.

You know the thing that bothers me?
Skorts. What's the deal with that? You see this hottie in what you think is a short skirt, and you think there's an opportunity to catch a peek, and then......denied!

So what about a kilt?
Would that be faux pas for a gig?

There's a kilt shop in town and I'm considering pitching an endorsement deal with them.

 

[DBCrocky]

The problem is, if you allow shorts on stage, there's always gonna be a Bobby Weir....

Depends. Some of the younger and Scottisher guys can pull them off.

Are you saying I won't be able to rock a kilt on stage?

I look at that picture, I look at your signature, and I think "there oughta be a rule against that".

All I'm saying is you might need to Scottishify yourself with some whisky first.

 

[DBCrocky]

Yes, please Lord, we need Rules!

Kilts are B.A. and always allowed.

LOL @ DBCrocky's examples of shorts gone wrong- too funny. Especially Bob Weir.

But in all seriousness, shorts are totally cool. The very idea of a rock 'n roll dress code is absurdly laughable. And I bet DBCrocky could find some funny pictures of dudes inappropriately wearing long pants as well. The category of fashion is not nearly as important as the execution: it's not what you do, but how you do it.

I don't always rock shorts on stage, but when i do, i prefer to accentuate the graceful curves of the arse-ish area....

Stay Bassey my friends.....
