How Important is a Musician's Attire?
long hair, tattoos, piercings, hats, caps, beard, mustache, goatee, black shirts, those leather things you put on your wrists, che guevara shirts, high-cut leather boots, bracelets, necklaces, rings, jewelry, facial paint, make-up, spiky hair, mohawk, dreadlocks, and many other such affectations...
what use or purpose do they have? are these effects really necessary for a musician? :-s o baka naman pang-porma lang?
how do you think a musician should properly appear for his or her audience?

"eat to please thyself but dress to please others..."
some people take the entertainment value of rock & roll so seriously that they'd put on the most outlandish clothes just to get noticed. you gotta admit it though, that the attire of some musicians may sometimes be more memorable than the songs they play!

actually music is not defined on the appearance itself but on the sound that pleases your ears. e kahit naka barong or nka hubo yan e kung malinis naman and pro ang tunog ayus lang. hehe

musicians/performers attire should reflect the artists personality or style. . . sabi nga eh " attitude" yun, kaya nga dati diba pag banda ka halos automatic na dun na ling hair ka (sa guys), kung baga dapat magcompliment ang get up mo sa tugtugan or style. . . though not really that necessary. . . gets???
. . . otherwise custume na ang tawag dun :lol:

eto na lang: do you think KISS would be that popular had they not donned the painted faces/heavy metal kabuki? that's how important it is.
and there are people in the post-rock/adult alternative genre who would choose to dress down kasi nga ayaw nila magpa-glam. costume or not, the attire is a strong statement as to what the band is all about. not entirely, but significantly.

It depends on the artist really. If you see Dimmu Borgir members in g-unit style of clothes what would you think of them as far as being artists?
That's just the way it is. The appearance is just the icing on the cake. But in the end the talent really stands out if it's really there.

in the end its 'all about the music' as the saying goes. but fashion has always played an important role in rock. punk gave alot of importance to image, as seen in the way the ramones, pistols and the clash dress.
as said nga, KISS wouldnt be as well known if it werent for the makeup. i think its important that the audience can identify a band's name and sound with an image. think beatles, ramones, kiss, NIN, velvet revolver . etc..

unfortunately, people see the gimmick before they listen to the songs.
what a musician looks like or how he dresses absolutely should have nothing to do with themusiche plays and how heis perceived.
perfect examply....TOOL...they stayaway from the spotlight...you don't see any of the band members in their music videos. i've seen them live a few time and they dont have that many lights that focus on them...Maynard even stays in the back instead of in front of the stage.
it's all about the music and not the image...or at leastit should be that way. bands that put music before image gets much props and respect from me.
IF YOUR MUSIC IS POWERFUL...you won't need to worry about how you look.

Pag band mo ay nag sign up na sa recording label... hawak na nila kung pano ka manamit. kailangan din kasi nila mabenta yung banda mo, u can make suggestions kung ano isusuot pero sa kanila (recording label) pa rin ang final say on how your band will dress up.

i think attire isn't really that important if your music is already good but i also think that looking cool can make a band or artist that more bad ass... um, something like that. for example, hide:
he's already a bad ass guitarist and he also looks cool as f*ck. we should all try to be as cool as him. :D

Oo, in my opinion a musician's attire is important. Dapat lang na-iproject ng isang musician ang appropriate image ng magrerepresent sa music o sa banda nila. Example, kung miyembro ka ng isang black metal na banda alangan namang tutugtog ka na naka coat & tie. Siyempre dapat may long hair, bondage gear, spikes at corpse paint.

of course it's important. percpetion is reality. if people perceive you as someone not worth respecting or listening to, di talaga nila gagawin yun. but the main thing is hindi dapat yun lang yung focus. its just an important aspect, pero di siya yung pinaka importante. siyempre even if you look like a zombie pero galing mo naman tumugtog may respeto pa rin sayo. :D

ung attire for me is not as important as the quality of music the band has. ung attire nmn kc nature na sa musician un..kung isa syang heavy metal musician its natural na ung attire nya is ung pang heavy metal.if his grunge den he'l go for grunge clothes.kc kung pakunwari lng..nagiging "costume" na ung tawag sa attire kc hindi natural.& ung iba nga nagcocostume na lng for them to get attention...panget nmn un.

the way you look is as important as the way you play...
it's your responsibility to give the audience a good audio and sensory experience (knowing that they'd rather be somwhere else).
-good chops but guy in see thru sando and slippers = almost pornographic experience -slipknot costume but missed cues and a detuned E-string = i wanna throw a bottle at the amateur.
OT:
i play metal but sometimes... i REALLY HATE wearing black... it has become the official band uniform of the 21st century. "im in a band, doesnt matter what genre i play, i have to wear a black t-shirt." if someone looks for me in a gig, they can find me cause im always wearing red or green or gray... i do everything i can to avoid wearing black... so sometimes its weird when we play cause my bandmates are in black and im wearing a gray shirt ... i have a feeling i make us look back onstage *lol*
i'm still contemplating about wearing a trenchcoat or my old vampire costumes ... cause them things are HOT! ... its hard being overweight cause a lot of cool t-shirts don't look cool the moment i wear 'em. i have to resort to those big costume things to make us look good onstage.

one of the effects of the rise of "pogi rock"
IMHO, yung mga nakikita kong puro naka itim, posers. May natanong akong lalaking naka che guevarra na shirt, sabi niya rock daw. eh diba political figure yun?
anyways, music isn't music if people are always going to focus on clothes and accessories, diba? magiging fashion design ang mundo ng mga musikero. If you want to dress up for gigs, concerts, etc. siguraduhin mo munang matino ka tumugtog, otherwise, magmumukha kayong ewan sa harap ng maraming tao.
cool nga suot mo, hindi naman maintindihan tinutugtog mo.
2 cents ko lang po.

You want to look like a musician on stage! If you come to the gig straight from your day job, don't wear your office clothes or polo barong on stage, dress a little cooler.

Ahhhh not necessarily, you can be a country musician like the late Johnny Cash and wear all black. Pampapayat din ang all black if you're on the chubby side, hehe :-)
As for Che Guevarra, poor Che! He was a revolutionary from Bolivia that helped Fidel Castro's Cuban revolution. Now people think he's a just reggae artist or a t shirt design.
Still I think if you're on stage you should look like a musician, not someone who just walked off the street. This has nothing to do with pogi rock. A little glam is always good on stage, even someone as down to earth as Chikoy Pura of The Jerks will put on a little vest over his tshirt as part of his stage wear. You don't always need to apply mascara like Raimund Marasigan - though that does look more rock n roll :-)

I think it depends on the market you want to reach. As a band, we dress up the way we want to, though for some occasions, if necessary, we dress up a bit (like the time we had TV appearances - breakfast show and...a text show late at night).
It depends on the music and the audience, and ultimately, on the band itself.

you have to stand out from the crowd, ndi ka mukhang audience, ndi ka mukhang fan, ndi ka mukhang tech, ndi ka mukhang pa, ndi ka mukhang bouncer. kelangan mukhang artist.
it depends din kase sa crowd, if we play mayric's or 6ug or jst regular bar gigs, a simple shirt na mejo papansin and a good pair of trousers will do. pero pag big events, kelangan talaga pumorma. gaganahan ba manuod ung mga tao pag nakasando ka, shorts at beach walk? depende na lang kng may pangalan ka na talaga..

it also depends on the audience...some of the gigs we've played, the people there are more suspicious if the band dresses up - they prefer people who are like them. in others naman, they sometimes expect us to dress the part. Tanchahan lang talaga.

Review all the popular bands or musicians "who made it to the top".Notice the peculiarities of their dress to the type of music theyre playing? Its "packaging" if you want to sell yourself. Have you seen a "mild" baby soap in black,red,and white packaging? There's psychology on visual impact whether we like it or not, unfortunately in some cases, theyre quite deluding! :-(

hey i agree 100%
the thing is, people can wear whatever the hell they want to, but the point is just cont over-do it. we cant all be KISS, or JUdas priest with their all-leather dominatrix outfit.
be yourself as the cliche goes.
but on the other hand...
gumagawa ng musika ang mga taong ito hindi dahil sa gusto nila ng expression o i-showcase yung abilities nila (actually karamihan sa kanila e magaling pero hindi kasing "galing" ng mga self-confessed metal bands na hindi din sikat).
yun e dahil sa hanap-buhay nila ang pagiging show-band.
we can all diss them all we want pero ang point:
mayroon tumatangkilik sa kanila, as well as the good metal bands out there.
whatever floats
your boats.
syempre sa context yun ng isang society na oppressive at pera ang nagpapatakbo. iba pang usapin kung may kwenta o wala at kaninong perspective ang pinanggagalingan mo.

+1! i once joined a certain kind-of-a-mainstream band as vocalist and i decided to leave pagkatapos nilang ipagdigdikan sa kin na kailangan ko raw mag-ayos (magmake-up, magdamit like celeb and the likes) dahil gusto daw ng recording company "ma-image". hindi naman ako ganon. i tried one pero nung time na tutugtog na sumasablay sila sa instruments nila. my point is, sa pagtugtog ka muna magfocus bago sa magiging itsura mo sa camera. good looking musicians can just be musicians and not models :-D

well... gaya nang marami nang naunang magsabi.... "its not how you dress up, its how you play..."

if you ask me,being presentable onstage is a must.(i mean decent) yes we could somehow justify that it's the music that matters. but it is not reason enough for us not to at least look decent onstage. always remember that the crowd don't close their eyes when there is a live performance.(pwera na lang kung dalang-dala sya sa kanta.) i guess we should also do our part as musicians and as performers.
about sa sobra naman, it is really about concept. some tend to overdo it (kaya mukhang jologs) which is also not a good thing. kung gusto nating matandaan in a nice way,think of a good concept. at syempre,above all things, kailangang kaya nating panindigan sa tunog ng tugtog natin ang suot.
ayaw naman natin ng : " ayus yung pormahan, kaso bano" o "galing magpatunog, jologs nga lang"
dba?

depende siguro sa occasion and type of music ang pinli ng musician. kung mga party band or showbands syempre dapat entertaining sila.
kung ang tatanungin be honest to yourself na lang kaya mo bang ganun porma mo? eh kung musikero ka kahit simpleng porma lang pwede na. mas makulit pa, kagaya nung na-experience ko may lumapit sa'king lalaki nag-tanong kung tugtug din daw ako. sabi ko oo. akala daw niya taga-bitbit lang ako ng gamit kasi mukha daw akong hindi marunong. kaya simula noon trip kong simpleng porma lang para magulat yung tao sa'kin sabihin marunong pala yun. hehehehe...

Kung iko-compare mo yung karamihan ng mga banda dito sa Pilipinas sa mga banda sa south east Asia, napaka-normal lang natin manamit.
Syempre mahalaga pa rin sa lahat yung music. Pero tandaan din natin na haharap tayo sa tao. Kaya kahit papaano eh "magbihis" naman tayo. Well, hindi ibig sabihin eh todo-bigay na porma mo. Hehe...
Kaya mo bang panoorin ang "The Bloomfields" ng naka- "pangkarpinterong sando't shorts" lang sila? Syempre hindi di ba? Sobrang sablay yun... Hehe... :-D
Iba kasi yung panahon ng Eheads eh. Yun yung era na "musika lang - solb na". Ngayon kasi parang hindi na uubra yung ganon. Kumbaga your band should dress up according to your music.
I'm not saying na maging sell-out kayo ha. hehe... peace men. :-D

I've been thinking a bit, and I guess this is my take:
Clothing matters if it matters to you. However, just remember, that even if it doesn't matter to you - it matters to others, and some of them may be people who can help you get to the next level, or your next possible fan.
So, clothing is about who you really are - and what you project yourself to be, in a somewhat ironic twist.

long hair, tattoos, piercings, hats, caps, beard, mustache, goatee, black shirts, those leather things you put on your wrists, che guevara shirts, high-cut leather boots, bracelets, necklaces, rings, jewelry, facial paint, make-up, spiky hair, mohawk, dreadlocks, and many other such affectations...
what use or purpose do they have? are these effects really necessary for a musician? :-s o baka naman pang-porma lang?
how do you think a musician should properly appear for his or her audience?
we encourage you to share your opinions.
hindi pa ko pumunta ng gig na nakaporma. Lagi pambahay lang. Pag nasa venue, walang pumapansin, kasi mukhang tambay lang. Pero after tumugtog ng band namin, whoa!

For me, fashion is also art. It may be subjective and it's beauty is in the eyes of its beholder hehe. And of course there are several other factors to consider in a musician's performance like stage presence, musicality (of course), etc...
If you're a professional musician who is making money out of your music, you should look presentable, now when i say presentable, i'd say wear something that is different from your "pambahay", or "pang-malling" clothes or what not. Good example would be showbands playing locally and abroad. They can't wear something similar to their "pambahay" nakakahiya naman yun hehe.
But if you're the simple hobbyist who's playing for fun, attire isn't an issue. Do whatever you want. But then again, if you're a pro, wear something nice.
Fashion statements need not be very bongga. It must match your individual style as well as your group's music. Sandwich is a good example, simple clothing but unique.
In fashion as well as music, i guess simplicity is still beauty.
For pros, fashion must at be least 20% of your musical artistry. For non-pros, then do what you want.
Peace! :mrgreen:

it's very important for musicians to wear clothes. for in this day and age, how many of the bands (as in all of their members) have you seen playing onstage butt-naked? :-D
nah kidding. i don't know. all boils down to perception. see, if it's a really heavy metal band, you'd expect them to have long hair, goatees, tats, body paint, masks, tattered jeans, tattered shirts, and everything else tattered... creates this "wtf do you guys care about we wear attitude?!" 'course, doesn't necessarily apply to all. but the common masses see these dudes as part of the metal music industry.
then there's the so-called, overrated 'emo' bands we see nowadays. tight jeans, tight shirts, multi - colored whatnots on top of their black whatelses. sidebangs, accessories, the works. we instantly associate them with 'islas-my-wrists, wailing, whining vocals and lyrics' just because they look like that. and then we label the genre as emo. no-no.
i could go on, and on. but then again, to answer the TS's question, i would say that in more ways than one, it can be important. at least, to those of us who doesn't know much about music. to us who can only mosh, sit amidst tables with beer bottles on 'em and chainsmoke our lungs off, and listen to the music that these musicians play, it's hard not to at least check out what 'em musikeros are wearing while playing. because that's what we instantly see. we can only watch, and gawk (frustrated musicians that we are)
and like what the others have said before me, it doesn't really matter what you wear, as long as you like what you're wearing, as long as you're comfortable in it. and you, (yes you) you're not there to impress them with your branded clothes or bling-blings or whatever you call it, in the first place. the primary reason why you're playing what you're playing is because you love what you do, and you're damn good at it.

you just need to look presentable on-stage, and not something to be laughed on.
