My problem was only with this comment - which I still think is pretty ridiculous. If you people all want to play dress up, then that's fine with me though.

It's generally obvious I'm in the band because I'm fucking wicked-awesome.

Image is an odd thing. A cool presentation can make a good band even better to watch live (Devo, Hives, uh.. Phil Collins 3), but it certainly won't make me go "hey, these guys all have different colour hats, I'm in for a treat!" before I hear a note.

aw man. BOO(G) for including that youtube link. i was all down for the exclusivity of "getting it" when you said "different colour hats". funny stuff.

if the band just look like regular members of the audience, theyve failed. doesn't have to mean matching costumes, but put some effort in; people have come to watch you (not just listen to you) so do some crazy-ass hair and clothes and make a statement.

any band that say "we just want the music to do the talking" are probably too muso and therefore totally boring.
I totally agree with everything you said right here. it's human nature to judge things by how they look. so much of how people connect with a band has nothing to do with the music and everything to do with the image they project. this has nothing to do with "being fake." just put some thought into how you look.

i totally agree wih you guys, literally every major band had an image, even hendrix, did he really need one? no. but it did add to the whole aspect of performer.

at the end of the day, if having an image gets you one more step up the ladder then why not.
Having an image makes you feel more like a band with your own identity.

just look at the horrors, theyre absolutely shite, but they wouldnt be anywhere if they didnt look like they do.

Never heard of them, but they look like a watered down english version of those glam Japanese metal bands that dress up like goth dolls.

I'm going to be really honest here and say that I am onstage to get my rocks off.

Regardless, cool pickguard.

The one thing about ATP,of all the festival gooers you could tell all the guys that were in bands. It was pretty funny, especially the three guys walking about rockabilly style.

Swing Hailey fails. I'll even wear Fredo's clothes to a gig. Mario wears whatever brands have his size. Fredo wears what his mom buys him from J.C. Penney

clothes and music are totally unrelated,
i like bands that are known for the music and not for the clothes they wear.
i understand styles come and go, but for fuck sake, if you spend more time putting on makeup and clothes than you do setting up your rig you are a retard!
you wear fredos clothes, thats kinda funny! just cuz i remeber seeing those pics of you with the mustang bass and school girl outfit, and then fredo with the addidas jumpsuit.
