Rockers who dress up

Your live show is no laughing matter if you’re a musician, and some people take not only how they sound but how they look VERY seriously. Now that’s what we call devotion! Now in tribute to those who are not only gifted musically but have distinct, awesome and outrageous fashion sense, DJ Rossstar and Johnnynotsid have come up with their favorite rockers who dress for the stage.

5. Regine Chassagne, Arcade Fire

Regine is a very gifted girl from Montreal who is part of a very talented and acclaimed band known as Arcade Fire. Not only is she an exceptional songwriter and composer as well as Hurdy-gurdy, accordion, piano, and organ player AND singer and drummer, but she also dresses super weird and super-fierce. Her dresses are adorable and she knows just what compliments her. Sure, she had to dress like an Amish funeral attendee during the tour for her band’s first album Funeral, but now that Arcade Fire's new album Neon Bible is released, she gets to dress like this:

Regine has a masking tape fetish. Win is holding what appears to be a deflated rubber ducky Nice



4. My Chemical Romance - A band that really needs no introduction. So I’m just going to post more pictures. Teehee.
with the ever famous boa:)

3. Siouxsie Sioux The Banshee wonder woman is one of the most daring fashionistas in rock and roll. She was an icon of the 70s British punk movement and pure sex. Her dark, outrageous dominatrix look and crazy makeup inspired most of your favorite artists (see above). And countless people tell tales of being able to even TOUCH one of her boas. Feast your eyes upon Madam Siouxsie.

2. David Bowie The Thin White Duke. Aladdin Sane. Jareth the Goblin King. Ziggy Stardust. Just a few of the many personas his Highness has invented, having fresh new looks since the seventies. One of the most influential artists in the world as well as the ultimate glam-rock icon (Screw you, Gary Glitter)

Jareth Aladdin Sane.

Stevie Nicks (Oh, come on, you knew this was coming) Stevie Nicks has been around since the seventies and first created her amazing and gorgeous look in 1975, assuming the identity of “Rhiannon” a witch from Welsh Legend and the subject of her first hit. Since she has gone on to be the Queen of Rock and Roll. The Bella Donna, the Gypsy, and the Sorceress. She has the guts to wear the stuff you are afraid to wear on Halloween and she looks incredible. And she can dance in platform heels and write crazy shit like “Gold Dust Woman” and “Planets of the Universe.” Time for you to pledge undying allegiance to her right now.



 


DJ Rossstar’s Picks: 5. Masks. Wacky hats. Pajama pants. You never know what you're gonna get when you see Peachake perform live.

Peachcake and randomboy

4. Monsters and blood. GWAR will either make you laugh hysterical or cry yourself to sleep at night.

3.The Sound of Animals Fighting. Ram, Tiger. Raven. Tortoise. Who is behind those realistic animal masks?

2.Van Stone. With axe-guitars, leather jackets and spikes -- 80's metal is alive every time Van Stone enter a room.

Probably my favorite picture of the weekend.

1. The Network. One resembles a mummy, one looks like a wrestler and another wears a gas mask. The five members of The Network are dressed to impress --do you know what famous rock band is under the masks? I do!
The Network theyre hot!the network

I think that "The Network" look really odd....
The Sounds of Animals Fighting scares me...
GWAR wow...they're like a horror movie...

My Chemical Romance...yes they dress well....
They've got style...

What about The Academy Is..., Tokio Hotel and The Click Five?
They dress up really well as bands...you should check them out:

First of all, I love how you assume we need to "check them out"

We already know who they are. Duh.

Second.

The Academy Is... and the Click Five all look exactly alike. There is no distinct style or anything of note about how they dress.

Tokio Hotel look retarded. That dude tries too hard.

Those white spandex overall continue to haunt my nightmares, I'm sorry.

Kiss and Elton John.... Well, I can only fit so many people in my top five! I thought mine was pretty good. And I can't help it that I get such a huge kick out of those Sgt-Pepper-in-Halloween-Town outfits. They make me feel so warm and fuzzy inside. It's like.... The Beatles.... And Siouxsie Sioux collaborated.... I mean.... COME ON! THOSE ARE SO AWESOME!

And dude, Bowie and Nicks and Sioux are so much hotter than Elton and Kiss. I'm sorry, but it is true!

Family Force 5 dresses up in fuzzy costumes and superhero outfits.
I think they definitely shouldn't be left out.

GWAR! YES! Love your list djrossstar!
That doesn't make anyone stylish.

We are not listing every rocker who dresses up. We're listing our personal favorites. List your own if you want.
