It's become kind of played out in recent years but I have a black denim shirt I cut the sleeves off that serves the same purpose. I am most proud of the big 'Claw Tower' Orodruin back patch I made from a shirt and NOS Sign of the Hammer Manowar patch. I don't really wear it that much but did for awhile.

I tend to dress like I normally do for gigs- jeans and band shirt although I usually wear a bandana to keep my hair out of my face and to reduce the puffy frizz that happens when I sweat balls loading our gear.

I can't decide if this thread is for serious or not.

[MichaelZodiac]

^ I had the same issue.

Who cares what you wear for a gig? Just wear what you normally wear. If that's a denim vest covered in patches so be it. I went to a hardcore show after my high school graduation, moshing in a suit was kinda awesome.

[Jor el]

Vests don't have sleeves.

[RAGER]

I'll have to look into getting a sleeveless vest.

[everdrone]

I suppose my next question is that I wear glasses when Im not wearing contacts.  the denim sleeveless vest is kind of biker looking. I have no visible tattoos; what if I wear the vest and have glasses on?  is that a fashion fopaux?  F-police please help me for my next gig!!!

[RAGER]

Get some temporary tattoos for shows when you wear your sleeveless vest. Glasses are ok as long as they are black rimmed or something ironic like Tootsie glasses.

If I were to recommend an outfit for whatever heavy metal red carpet you're attending, it'd have to be something like a cute little cocktail dress, your highest "fuck me" pumps, and a duster made of whale hymen.

Also, if you want everyone to know that you are into niche bands like Black Sabbath, try to begin every sentence with something subtle, like "I like Black Sabbath."

[everdrone]

lol!

[VOLVO)))]

The back is a huge Bethlehem patch. Ewiz, etc.

[eyeprod]

Rock and Roll shouldn ot be a fashion show but it often is. Just look at the original punk scene.

I'm bringing spandex back.

very cool, thanks

I dont like wearing my black frame emo glasses cause they are a bit heavier than my executive glasses and move around a bit when I am looking down or moshing

I have a cleancut executive "number two on the clippers" military type haircut; just need a bandana like this and then it will be legit without the fashionable fake tattoos, I WILL LOOK DOWN

uz guyz will be jealous

[VOLVO)))]

That isn't a bandana, that is a pair of gun ranges. (ear protection)

[everdrone]

cool, I may get a bandana

p.s. yall should see the 'duds' Wino was wearing at the Spirit Caravan gig I saw last month

blast from the past, straight out of the 70s!  I was close to looking for fish swimming in platform shoes

[liquidsmoke]

Dude, just wear whatever you want. If you dress 'too normal' some assholes will notice. If you dress 'too cliche' rocker/metal/whatever some assholes will notice. Like with anything in life, you can't win so don't worry about it.

I must say, Wino looks fucking awesome this tour. I know that's gay to say but whatever. More than that he sounds awesome of course. Spirit Caravan just fucking rules all around.

Whenever i really have to strut my stuff and don't want to worry about my glass I just wear my rec specs.  Nothing beats them, period.

[everdrone]

SPIRIT CARAVAN ROCKS!!!  I do like hidden hand better though with WIno, truth be told. ya Im gonna get my shizzle 2gether for gigs, though I could pull off more of an affliction or emo look easier    seriously am gonna get the vest/patches eventually, and maybe stay away from Wino's tasseled sleeveless/shirtless vest thing

Suit up, riff out.

Denim enhances tone.

[liquidsmoke]

Denim enhances tone.

It does. And leather? Over the top tone for certain styles.

Lol!

I always wear jeans and a loose black vest, shoes off always, I like to be as comfortable as possible, I had my first show in a dress last night, it worked out pretty good

[mortlock]

a dress made from the skin of sacrificed virgins, I hope..
