Concert Attire Necessities!

[TD]

I suppose...... I suppose, and I had to get my girls opinion on this one (she agrees, band shirts at said bands shows are for white trash and the 5 yr. olds at a Justin Timberlake show) that you could make a few possible exceptions to the golden rule of concert fashion, for those of you with are "at risk" when it comes to dressing yourself (geesh guys, what do you wear when you go out to eat?!) Anyway, a band shirt would be allowed if, and only if:
It were vintage, by at least 15 years. This means a real SOE, ATL, STD, or FOM shirt (no cheesy remakes) Preferrable it would be faded out. Old school is ok.

Also, if you just bought a new shirt at show and you decide to throw your other shirt away. This would "acceptable."

And, although you're really walking a fine line, we suppose that if the band was opening up for someone, you could wear the shirt to give your band a shout out.

All three are "questionable" at best.

Do any of you guys no how to tie a tie? Polish your shoes?

I'm gonna wear my Armored Saint shirt and scream out Armored Saint songs in between songs.

That's perfectly fine! It'd be like wearing a "The Firm" t-shirt to a Robert Plant show.

 

[jdelpi]

Nope, different bands. I wasn't seeing SOD when I wore an SOD shirt, nor was I seeing Anthrax when I wore an Anthrax shirt. Duh!!!!

They share members. Anthrax has covered S.O.D. songs. Would you wear Anthrax to Amored Saint? Iron Maiden to Bruce Dickinson? Black Sabbath to Ozzfest? Motley Crue to Vince Neil?

Whatever. I'm with my friend Kristen who likes N*Sync and worships Ben Affleck...this thread looks like it's for teenie boppers.

No, but I "know" how to tie a tie, and I "know" how to polish my shoes.
I'm wearing my NY Post custom unofficial Anthrax shirt to the next show and that's all there is to it. You can laugh at me if you want. Somehow I think I will get much more respect than you would like to believe.

Respect from goofballs with mullets

Kristen that I refered to earlier says go to Forever 21. They have nice pink outfits there.

None from guys with Scott Ian-wannabe tattoos?

 

[TD]

I have several pink ties thank you! I have clothes for every occasion, because I, unlike some on this board, have "fashion sense."

Your whole premise was that one should be concerned with this crowd's opinion of one's attire and that yours meets the standard. Now respect from them appears to not be worthwhile. I'm confused. Which is it?

 

[KY_Fried442]

I never wear a shirt of the band I'm seeing unless I buy the shirt there, which with Anthrax is every time.

What I'm saying is that if you wear the bands shirt, the only approval you'll get, is from other losers = the ones with mullets.

P.S. every form of dress is about meeting a standard, or "rebelling" against said standard. When you go to prom, you wear a tux. When you go to church, you wear a tie. When you go to school, you dress nicely and comfortably. Here's where it gets funny. People who say nice dressers are too "materialistic" probably go to more trouble finding stuff that isn't "mainstream" than if they just bought normal stuff. By the time they plunder the Thrift store to look "different", I've already gobbled up all kinds of bargains at the mall. The most hilarious example of spending way to much $$$$$$ to look different is Hot Topic!! Hahahahahaha, they have those in the most expensive yuppie malls everywhere! Nothing like a pissed off rich kid "rebelling" w/ a $30 Coal Chamber shirt, and some chains! Fucking GAY as hell.

That's fine. Otherwise you look cheesy though. Do you wear a Damons shirt every time you get ribs at Damons? Do you wear your favorite Wal-Mart shirt every time you go to Wal-Mart? Do you wear a Star Trek shirt to the Star Trek movies?

Honestly, I have never put that much thought into what i wear to a concert. I have a huge collection of pocket t's, which are comfortable and disposable, and therefore perfect fpr a mosh pit.

I'll admit, I've worn a Star Wars shirt to a Star Wars movie, but that's one area where i have to admit I am very much a geek. At least it was a vintage Star Wars ringer t....

Star Wars and the KISS Army are excusable, because they are like heroin.

Also, Justin's homemade shirt might be "OK" but I don't want to give him the satisfaction of knowing that.

 

[one man stands]

I never thought it was a big deal to wear "the Shirt" to the concert. Hell, all the 'Thrax boys, besides scott, have wore them in concert or in photo shoots. Is that gay? I don't think so, and the fact everybody is arguing about it on a message board makes it even funnier. Trying to defend your own opinion on here is ridiculus. Just do what you want. Who gives a fuck. If I am at the show and everyone had 'Thrax shirts on I would be happy and know I am at the right place. Among people that like them and that are gonna have fun like me. I think some people spend to much time on boards trying to be different, when they could just let it go.

 

[AlexStomp]

Of course I know how to tie a tie. Do you know how to tie a bow tie?? Oh, and I never polish my shoes, I just pay someone to do it for me. ha ! What else? Oh, when I eat ribs at damons, I don't even bother wearing a shirt. Too messy. A bib will do. Do any of you know how to decant a full bodied 10 year old red? At the next Thrax show, I'm gonna wear my old school SOE vintage shirt that Justin gave me. The only problem will be finding the right shade of pink tie to match with all the yellow !!!

 

[SLAYER85]

i think im gonna wear what ive wore to every concert, black tool shirt black shorts, and write in huge permanent marker on my head NOT and something like MOSHERS ENVY on my arms or something, cause dude its like 2 months away, but man im getting so mother fucking jazzed. Ive been listening to non stop thrax the last week, I WILL BE CAUGHT IN A MOSH!!!!!!!!!
