Hats, lets see some pics

[gub]

I am really loving wearing hats on stage lately, and am adding to my collection as and when I see a new one I like, there's just something about them I love, it seems to totally transform an otherwise mundane stage outfit into something a bit different ! Anyone else with me on this one ?

[Jellyfish]

A bit like Bootsy I guess, a bit mundane and boring until he puts his hat on...

I like to wear a hat onstage sometimes. Looks good, especially when out of focus ;-)

Not that many moons ago I used to have a Bolero hat (think Lee Van Cleef in the spaghetti westerns). It went well with the long hair & tiny plaits with little red bows under each ear Thankfully I only have one pic of me wearing it which is somewhere in the garage.
I gave it away during a drunken bon-homie after a gig.

It's too hot on stage for hats. No matter how bald I get I won't wear one.

[KingBollock]

I have no live shots, but I do love me a good hat. Unfortunately, due to the humongous proportions of my noggin, most of my hats are woolly ones. Though I do have a couple that fit, even if I did have to make a stretcher to get the leather one to fit.

This used to be my favourite:

Please excuse the abomination that I am holding in my hands, terribly sorry it's not a Bass.

This is now my favourite:

I can't remember how many times I've posted this picture on here now. I took it to show off my beloved Warlock when I first got it.

Quite partial to a Buff too:


And then there's my dead sexy fishing peak:


Blimey I've had to trawl back through some years to find some of those.

I NEVER wear hats. I look bad in almost anything from beanie or baseball cap to any kind of hat. Only thing that was quite fitting was a bandana, worn like that:

(sorry, bassless pic).

I wouldn't wear anything on my head on stage unless the playing style would demand it (eg. country or blues beg for a good hat). As I plan to go into the weird west* cosplay, I tremble at the very thought about wearing a hat, but that's the necessity.

Trucker caps, for me, if anything.

Current fave is my Karma to Burn one, which I bought from the lads themselves when they came through Leeds.

[Dave Vader]

btw, pretty much always hatted, that there black trilby in my avatar (and it's 3 identical brothers) or a straw one for the summer (which has seen very little use).
Haven't played a hot enough stage to need to take it off in a while, but here's hoping

I like to wear a hat now and then. This one was a nice summer gig, open to the elements - I thought we'd all agreed to wear something colourful. So, I turn up sporting Hawaiian short, linen trousers, Panama hat, shades. Everyone else turns up as though they've just come from the beach! I look like I am part of a different band. In, fact, I am now!

Well it was never going to be cost effective when you have that guy in the band turning up to play left handed air DB

He does, doesn't he! Funny old boy, turns up at these beer festival type dos and dances all day long. We dragged him up on stage with us for a while, he loved it!

I find I get too hot with a hat on.
Annoying, because I like hats...

[waynepunkdude]

Thanks for the kind words guys, here's me in a less fancy hat.
