So what should a front man wear on stage

[detroitrequiem]

Ok so d:konstruct will finally be playing out again in 2006 and I need to improve my front man image on stage. What's an old goth boy like myself to do to look a little more sexy on stage and a lot less like Big Boy without the overalls and suspenders? Should I go hard core like the old days of make up and all, monster boots, pvc, etc? Or more conservative like Covenant or Depeche Mode with dress coats, slacks,etc. Ladies and gents I need an extreme make over!

I have on word for you, hon: LEATHER.:laughing

Seriously, though, go however you feel most comfortable, be it t-shirt & jeans or vinyl & feathers.

[Onyx]

I agree - I was going to post leather before I even read what unchaste posted. A nicely cut black leather jacket is hot on anyone. A long leather trench coat - even better.

I like vampire style capes on men too, but I'm silly and dramatic like that I don't think you can go wrong with a leather coat or jacket though. -- and boots! Good boots.

[Guest Megalicious]

I think the dress coats and slacks are so sexy...... ... =)

[Brenda Starrr]

A sock.

No, not really. I think a black leather trench coat, fishnet shirt, and black pants would be hot.

[detroitrequiem]

"A sock"

lol I enjoyed that one. Too bad IM not one of the red hot chili peppers:)

Thanks everyone! Have a nice thanksgiving

[Brenda Starrr]

You too!!!

Noir and hot topic?

Pleather pants.....cool gothic shirts.....boots.....

Most of my band mates look like shit on stage.

Baggy jeans and tshirts. So anything other than that is great. And NO BASEBALL CAPS PLEASE! Especially turned backwards like Fred Durst.

[Brenda Starrr]

A leather kilt and a sock. Definitely nice boots.

[detroitrequiem]

Ive got these big black leather boots from Noir. They cost me almost $300. They make me stand about 6ft3 and they look like something KISS would wear. Ive also got this $275. jacket thats a silver gold mix. Its very cyberish. I also have a few pairs of vinyl pants which I dont wear much but are very tight on me and a few goth velvet shirts. I used to have a black gothic skirt, but some guys look good in a skirt. I do not:) There is a gothic velvet dresscoat at Showtime downtown that I was gonna buy. It has a very strong vampiric feel to it. Whats a boy to wear? eyeliner or no? Should I go glam?

[Brenda Starrr]

Yes to the eyeliner!

[unchaste]

Yes to the eyeliner!

Definetly.

Man have i been in this conundrum lately too Bud ( I too sing lead).

Most important: wear whatever yoru feeling. The last thing on earth you want is to feel self conscious onstage because it comes out in your performance. Be YOU in the moment. If thats jeans and Tshirt then fine - do it well. If its Goth then do that well.

No rules buddy..... thats what Pop Music is for.....

[Brenda Starrr]

I'm feeling a sock.

[Saephyr]

a knee high would be too hot!

Naw...

Eyeliner = YES

No black shirts - women like to see the singer wear somethingother than shadow

Jacket = man those lights will cook your ass but they look great

No jewelry

Did you buy New Rock boots? the pricetag sounds like them. :fear too big for me but the height is great

What about your hair?

[Homicidalheathen]

Glam is good just don't over do it like Manson. NO titties on boys ok?

[detroitrequiem]

I bought the boots there a few years back. They have large leather straps and thick heels. I was probably gonna spike my hair up like I always do. Any other suggestions?

[Saephyr]

Spikes are always neat

[detroitrequiem]

I used to do the whole robert smith haircut in high school but I dont think that works for me anymore. Its difficult to do much with your hair when your a school teacher:)

[Saephyr]

I'd just tie it straight back when you're living in mandane life.

Why you no message me no more DR?

[detroitrequiem]

my apologies, I have no excuse for not emailing you. How have you been feeling?

[Saephyr]

:whistling nevermind that...

So whatcha gonna wear baby?

[kellygrrrrrl]

I could see you with some slicked back hair - kind of like the greaser look?

White tee shirt, Jeans with cuffs rolled up a little white ankle socks, black shiney shoes or a pair of Allstars. Maybe some suspenders? Studded belt? You have dark hair a a large build and would look intimidating as a Greaser - rockabilly type?

[detroitrequiem]

hmmm..... never thought about a rock a billy look. I havent wore jeans in forever. I think it's time to do some serious shopping. I've always felt it was hard to be a big guy like myself and maintain a sexy look. I've also thought that its not what you wear but how you wear things. These are all great suggestions. Thanks everyone!

[Steven]

Old style gangster (talking Al Capone style) would be pretty bitchen too - you need some fo those white and black wingtip shoes and some cool old suits - that would come off pretty cool onstage dude.
