The Concert Fool Returned - akoso - 06-27-2005

There was a thread (http://www.hipbase.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3049) started in July 04 about the concert fool which referenced Buddyhead's Rules of Rock (http://www.buddyhead.com/music/rulesofrock/rock.html) "for anyone in a band or anyone who wants to be in a band. Although the list is pretty entertaining, I do agree with some of the points. However, I think #3 is a fair rule:

3) Don't wear your band's own shirts. No exceptions or excuses accepted. Don't think the "but I'm on tour and we haven't been able to wash our clothes, it's the only thing clean I had to wear" story is gonna fly… wear the dirty shirt, you're a rocker my friend.

I wasn't so impressed with Robbie's Stripper's Union shirt under his button-up shirt at the Mod Club. I'm not sayin crucify the guy for it... just surprised to see it, since it's usually the brand new band who is a lil' too excited to play live and therefore at fault for it.

It runs in The Hip; Gord Sinclair wore an All Canadian Surf Club shirt in Cleveland last year.

just a side note on rule #31: picks for bass guitars are for p**sies and members of Midnight Oil

I think Kim Deal uses a pick...same with the new chick bassist for Limblifter...not sure about Auf de Mar but I would venture a guess of yes...

just trying to back up the point...
