Who Wears Short Shorts?

The 70s fashions are back! Short shorts,pantsuits and bell bottoms!

If it's 70's, you've gotta remember the double-knit pants and jackets!

Red Hot Chili Peppers only need 4 tube socks (I'm not going to post the photo for fear of getting smashed with the banhammer).
I can only venture to guess that some of the guys that are team No Shorts on Stage Not Ever have a delusion that their, ahem, Junk is simply so large that they risk exposing to the first few rows the sheer magnitude of their Manly Endowments.

Seriously, someone explain it to me. Some gigs are hot af. The audience is going to show up wearing god knows what. Why are shorts on stage so bad?

You know what I do hate to see on stage? People playing barefoot. IDGAF if you bring your own rug. Keep your damned shoes on. If the bartenders at the venue or cooks in the kitchen and folks on the tech crew have to follow mandates on safe footwear, so does the band. Solidarity with workers and stuff.

You'll never get a rational answer. I'm going to wear shorts to the next gig in their honor.

I still remeber the guy on here that told me to wear linen trousers rather than shorts when it's hot. Linen trousers will get your @ss kicked around here.

I almost never wear shorts. Period.

I have absurd looking legs that frighten small children and cause women to faint.

i mean if you’re going retro you gotta have the requisite tube socks with colored stripes on top. teri cloth head and wrist bands for the win. and a village people mustache to make the bass player magazine cover.

 

[DaveParker39]

I do. Bought these after a Magnum PI binge during the early pandemic.

 

[GretschWretch]

The guy clearly is trying to complement the woman in the short dress. Unless he's wearing a Speedo, I wouldn't worry about it.

Earlier today I saw a post about a female singer screaming and yelling like the devil and many responses were “wow…..fantastic…..awesome!!!!!!!”
…….and now people are making a parody out of some guy wearing short shorts (albeit creepy)………
That’s funny.

If the body shapes more common in the 70s would just be back in style all that stuff would look better on a lot more people. I say flaunt it if you've got it, but spare us the exhibition if you don't.

 

[BOOG]

Shorts?!

Really?!

Again?!

 

[Paul New]

Damn, who was it that was pshopped onto that?

Perry?


Lindfield?

that is me, man. Life is too short to ever be unsexy!

Tube socks were modest, at one of those Woodstock festival disasters they were buck naked! There’s a documentary on Netflix that shows it.

View attachment 4715254 Take inspiration from these folks. They know how to dress onstage!

Unfortunately, this is how most of the bar bands dress around here. It skyrockets them right past dad band to grandpa band.

I have to admit to having worn shorts on stage, but in my defense, it was kind of a thing back in the late 80s/early 90s metal scene...

 

[jre5]

short shorts enthusiast right here.

this is obviously extreme with the shorts hiked up to show off the tan lines, but i do consider myself a short shorts enthusiast taking inspiration from the ones to bring them back into style

(who doesn't love boxing shorts?)

all the while paying tribute to those who rocked it in the 70's

Hey! We've got armadillos in our trousers!

There have been a number of references to the 70s in this thread. Now I lived through the 70s. So I know that the culturally appropriate response to the question in the thread topic is...

We wear short shorts!!

 

[captainofsmooth]

I’ve worn shorter. You ever played in a tiny room with a broken AC, during a festival in a Georgia July?

Don’t make me post pics.

I suspect Winslow meant the thread title to refer to the original version of the song, by the Royal Teens. (Al Kooper sometimes played with them, but probably not here.)
