OK, dress code time.
There are no shorts, bare feet or sandals allowed on the rock n' roll stage. Don't argue, I make the laws around here. The reason? There is no reason other than that it's dorky and lame. Frat guys, golfers and beach bums do not rock. I don't care if it's 100 degrees, put some pants and shoes on.
Of course, with any rule there are exceptions. Here are the ONLY instances where it is OK to wear shorts or bare feet on stage:
- You are Angus Young.
- You are a girl. Lots of leg is a good thing. Hot pants are..uh hot..and obviously a skirt is not pants..so no worries. Be careful though ladies, Capri pants are off limits.
- You are a drummer. No one can see your legs anyway and you're working hard back there. I also understand that bare feet are sometimes preferred for better control of the kick and hi-hat pedals. Tommy Lee and Alex Van Halen wear shorts, so you can too.
- You are in Anthrax.. and it's 1988.
Note: In addition to the above rules and exceptions.. Sandals are NEVER acceptable onstage. In addition khaki slacks should get your rock n' roll card suspended for life. Yoga pants are currently being discussed by the panel..but it looks likely that they will also be banned.. I know, it's confusing, but these are the rules. If you have any questions, please contact me for clarification.
