What do you wear on a gig?

[JanusZarate]

Does this mean we can form a club now?

I suppose I could be member #1 by reason of seniority. That makes you...

 

[slipknotmaggot3]

I can live with that, but only because I have an awesome eyepatch

I'm sorry but after reading these replies I still end up shaking my head at the musicians who grace a stage looking like they're dressed to BBQ a hamburger in their back yard. Come on guys and gals show a little class dress up like you belong on a stage not a street corner gathering. I know I know dressing up has nothing to do with how well you play a toon etc. etc. it just shows the audience you care about appearance and are willing to put on a show instead of a jam.

I generally agree with you, but I think that a lot of people do dress like they're going to take out the garbage in order to show their audience that they care. It shows they only care about the music. Especially if they play a $2000 instrument wearing a $5 shirt.

Of course, I think they're completely wrong and misguided. But they do dress in a specific way because they do care.

Btw, here's what I wore to a few shows last year.

I too generally agree, but not everybody wants that particular image. Look at The Grateful Dead. Bob Weir wore shorts that a supermodel would find too short. I don't think he really did it on purpose but I don't think they or the fans really cared either.

My patch is better and I wear it every day!

Maybe they're wearing the $5 shirt because they spent all their money on the $2000 bass.
