What do you wear on a gig?

[Bob the bassist]

As little as possible.

I sweat.

 

[Fo' Shizzle]

 

[BoomSTICK]

I usually look in the dresser drawers and wear whatever is (reasonably) clean.

Yeah, I second that.

Usually - The smell test is what determines what good stuff i wear that is either on the floor or stretched around the back support of one of my armchairs. Cause it's there for some reason.

 

[BoomSTICK]

I always do drag........people remember

Oh wow, always knew that Backstreets had potential

was my last gig.

I don't get many women and what women I do get, I sell on for profit...

[The Metal Guy]

I bet you're a Van Halen fan.

 

[gotmule?]

I normally wear a band t-shirt, jeans, and sandals, and when we play Marley songs, I put on one of those hats w/ the dreads, lol.

 

[Wootsticks]

Shirt: A long sleeve button-up shirt. Most of the time I stick to a safe, charcoal gray one with the occasional silver tie. Sometimes I'll go extravagant and wear a really wild '80's shirt with flowers and stuff on it. I'll post a pic sometime. Also with the tie I might go full out with the whole three piece suit. Or if I want to be cool on stage just a witty T-shirt.

Pants: Most of the time, jeans. Sometimes suit pants if I'm really fancy.

Shoes: With jeans, vans or house shoes. With suit, dress shoes.

I also have several cool hats to wear with the witty T-shirts. Think Jason Mraz.

 

[Bassenstien]

jeans and no shirt
to dang hot

 

[detracti]

Black Lugs
Black Jeans
Black Muscle-T or T with the sleeves chopped off. This one has Johnny Cash giving the finger.

i kinda want to start an abrasive punk band based around all members (should be male) dressing up like women in various attire. im not sure if its a good idea to advertise as people might get the wrong idea about me...

Yeah, there was a metal one of those in the 80's...

 

[fourstringdrums]

Usually a 2-3 button polo shirt and Jeans or shorts if it's hot out. Nothing fancy.

 

[Nigel Rahmshard]

Doc martens, then, a leather single strap wrestling unitard (similar to jerry the king lawler in the old days), a huge black strap on dong over that, wrist to elbow spiked guantlets on both arms, then a leather zipper mask with only the eyes an nose holes zipped open.

 

[Vic Winters]

T-shirt, jeans or shorts, sneakers, a hoodie if it's cold.

 

[sarcastro83]

I'll settle for whatever passes the sniff test.

Is that because the songs weren't as good or did being well-known ruin the experience for you?

HINT: One of these answers kind of makes you look bad.
