Thank you, ihatemindlessmorons
A friend of mine asked me to fill in on bass for him and I did. I changed my usual stage person to dress up like George, It got me some looks yes
, One person asked me “What parts do you have?”
That was back in 2002 and I still have the derby hat that I wore to this day.
Since people have become more tolerant in this day and age in regards to sexuality, back then was so much more different, you would still get looks now because…people don't dress like that anymore and haven't for 30 years.
You would spark it all over again if you were to go out in a band dressed “weird” or “strange” or “flamboyant”, it would spark media news outlets and social media. However, If you want to dress up or have fun, I don't believe you have to wait until Halloween, like some people would say, to dress up or be free or do whatever you want.
My usual outfit is my glam rocker outfit that i have worn for almost 25 years on stages. Spikes, Leather and all.
As a bassist, i have been on a stage where people looked at me in shock, “We haven't seen that for a long time”.
What ever it was, “I always wanted to be weird”
As for advice, I would say it's whatever you want. The “Christmas Tree” comment is a complaint.
If people want to see photos, i will post them. Only if i get more than five people saying “Yes post them”
, One person asked me “What parts do you have?”
