Life performance costume? Yes or No?

[farlukar]

ffs, can you f**kers at least stop wearing jeans and t-shirts on stage? jesus tapdancing christ, you're not The Ramones and I would like to be able to tell the performers from the audience!

Should they go nude on stage?

if the only other choice is jeans and a t-shirt, yes. it was good enough for jim morrison and the cast of Hair.

Come on, you've got to wear something.

Ok so if you have to do live performances would you go the Deadmau5, Daft Punk route with a costumed persona to hide behind or would you just be yourself?

Myself. I don't always wear a shirt but when I do it's so loud I don't need a sound system.

This game is for f**king mugs.

When I perform live, I do what the Psychik Warriors of Gaia did at that fabled MegaDog gig, all those years ago.

I have a big f**k off blanket/screen/sheet/. If you are lucky you can see my sillouhette. And the fact I am rolling a big dooby dooby doo, or havin' a cup a tea. My feet up. I seem to do nothing else other than load another dat in the dat player mother.

You have to read the seminal essay by Robert Henke, one of the creators of Ableton. But an all round musical genius and visionary. Creator of Monolake... About the age of performance now with super computers.

I didn't explain that very well but here ya go:

Any one that wears an animal head or dress up costume is a first rate c**t. Their music will be crap, and you will be able to do them out of their ticket money because they are beta males.

Those that wear the shroud, however, that suffer the (not slings and arrows) beer bottles and gob, are the real men. They put their f**king feet up. Make a pot a' tea. Put the DAT in the slot - yeah that's right - the DAT they made 10 f**king years ago - whey reinvent the wheel suckers? - Get the comfy slippers on. Get away with not just rolling one but smoking one while the young little retards outside get off their little f**king nuts, to go home, forever unrecognizable to mummy (Oh where did my little Johnny go that night?).

Job's a good 'un.

No need for c**t behaviour like wearing an animal head or getting a gimmick. The cool kids, the ones that really want to lose their minds, will put up with your slacksadaisickal antics. If not. f**k them.

Get the little f**kers crying their eyes out. I know it's what Aphex Twin used to do to me.

Not an animal head in sight. Not necessary. The MUSIC was f**king mindblowing.
Cue Punch and Judy - THAT'S THE WAY TO DO IT! THAT'S THE WAY TO DO IT!!

c**t behaviour

[vurt]

gas masks that have been converted in to vaporisers for me and the guitarist.
constant skunk huffing, chamber big enough for about a half oz of good green.

good for two reasons, reason one: we get to get high while on stage in front of people who arent even allowed to smoke
reason two: if anyone is offended by the performance (some people dont like the images we use for proection) they dont recognise us afterwards when were having a quiet drink.


white paper decorators suits: good for the projection of images.

2 22 stone fellers wearing thongs and dog collars with "bitch" and "hussy" in diamante, brought out on leads by 2 skinny chicks dressed as rabbits.
just to distract people from the images were projecting.

Definitely yes! Not Daft Punk though as they suck. Something more like this on the other hand is supercool:



and this

[AliToneDen]

I voted yes, although my opinion really depends on what you're going for!

I recommend checking out live videos of Slow Magic... He's got the coolest costume out of any live performer to date.
