I am trying to find a unique look for stage, i dont want to look punk or anything these days, i want to look sharp. Like how Randy Rhoads Looked when he played in Quiet riot. ALl i know is nothing baggy and something kool looking, is there a website that has like stage attire or anything?

You can't go wrong with vintage designer jeans (not baggy!) and a vintage rock concert shirt... My personal favorite is an old Led Zeppelin shirt I picked up on Ebay from their 1977 world tour. You have to have a cool belt too... I have a black leather belt with a Fender 'F' belt buckle. I wear a sweat band on my right arm where my arm rests on my guitar, because I hate the feel of your arm sticking to the guitar. And of course... the hair... just don't do your hair... NO GEL... and don't go with a faux hawk. For some sweet clothes just look in some vintage stores... or on Ebay. They have all kinds of crazy cool stuff.

Just wear duct tape.

You can't go wrong with leopard-print spandex and a sombrero.

you could just play naked...nothing baggy there, unless you have a tubby tubthumper behind the kit...

I like bands with an image, so they area ctually putting on a show...so playing in jeans and a t-shirt is all great, but I think bands with an image of sorts get rememberred for it...I am not talking about GWAR or Buckethead or anything...more like how Greenday are now, or even how back in the day, Billy Corgan was with that funny leather trench-coat/dress (it really wasnt either of them was it?

Yeah on a more serious side, look through random shops and find at least one thing you like, a hat or a belt, or a pink fluffy boa, who cares, and just make it your trademark. like Social Distortion is kinda known for the little golfer hat thing the lead guy has.

lmao, well speaking of saran wrap...There was this girl i know who had just gotten married, and on thier year anniversary her mother in law talked to her about "how to keep a man happy". So she goes home and strips down and covers herself in saran wrap and waits in a chair for her husband to come home. Her husbands mother had been giving her ideas and she said that she had did that with her husband on thier 50th year anniversary...think about it...**shudders**

why do you say that? Personally, I'd imagine the saran wrap would make things a tad close to bondage, but you're talking to a hermit that's never done anything with a girl... well, not without intending on freaking her out anyway (you'd be surprised how horrified people can be when there's a person present that literally doesn't talk the whole evening), but anyway, I've never had a chance for the saran wrap effect, so feel free to clue me in on something.
