OK, now after looking at the pictures of other bands at your last performance, I started to think to myself that some of these bands are trying to be strange and different, just for the sake of being "different." It's not really fair of me to say, because I have never heard the music, so I ask you guys who have. Is all the different stange instruments really working in the music, or is it just some "I'm too cool for everyone else in the room, so i'll make a drum set out of rusty garbage to look indy." Some examples:
With a Voivod T-Shirt, this guy either really lives the music, or again, just wants to stand out and be "different." Although, if he plays this well, it MUST be amazing.
Again in the photo below, was this good, of should he be wearing a straw hat and a corn pipe in his mouth? Musically amazing, or silly shit?
When I look at Kayo Dot, you guys look like you mean business. You're there to play, and no gimmicks. These other bands just come off looking, as I said, different for the sake of different.
So, what do you think?
