Who the fuck really cares?
Does it affect the sound? no. Do I go to a show for the fashion statements? Rarely. Wait, no.
I get it if it is a wedding, but I would rather see a band wearing comfortable clothes than 4 guys in matching bowling shirts, or even worse matching black suits and red ties. Fuck that shit. Put the effort into your chops instead of your outfit, please.

Sammy Hagar seems to only wear board shorts. Flea wears whatever he wants. Never a shirt. I saw Slash join Motorhead for a couple of songs wearing only cutoff Levi shorts. Lemme said " cute shorts Slash". If you are playing for people who are concerned with the bands fashion and it might affect ticket sales, then I guess you might want to wear the appropriate costume to pay the bills.

All chaps are assless.
That is what makes them chaps.

That is correct. Rob Halford from Judas Priest told KK Downing his butt was chapped after a backyard jam wearing said clothing. Hence the name "chaps" was born. True story. "Breakin' the what?"(JP reference).

Some folks seem to be able to pull it off.
So, uh, who's this? Asking for a friend.

On stage - everyone in the band must wear matching suits. It's the law. If that means shorts, so be it.
I'm thinking of ditching shorts for long pants for playing golf, so I don't have to bother with sunscreen on the legs. They have that cool, wicking fabric now so beating the heat isn't such an issue. Plus, it's been a while since anyone told me how good my legs look, so the hell with it.

Alizee, a French pop singer. That's a pretty old video with various GIFs that have been on the internet for ages. I think that is from early 00's, but not sure.
Edit: Looks like it's from 2010. I have no idea what she's singing about.

Easy for a Grainbelt dweller to say. Come to SoCal and do an outdoor, daytime gig anywhere not on the beach in summertime and you'll wish you'd brought your Speedos.My rule of thumb for shorts:
Shorts are Okay for:
Angus Young
Drummers
Jimmy Buffett
Skate Punk (usually long shorts with high tops)
and if it's 100 degrees outside... and you're not the front man.
If you are the front man:
No.
Nope.
Don't even think about it.
No, not right after the show... wait til you are home.
If you're hot, wear assless chaps like DLR or Prince.

Jailbait Lolita that had one Euro hit with a song titled la Lolita that may as well have been Eponymous. She had a pretty great voice for her age at the time real good tone to it and maturity for her being like 15.

Mentioning the husband and showing him in the video is a clear man code violation. You can thank sugarbuns for getting you off with a warning

See Above: Appendix B: Jimmy Buffett.
My funk band I played 3 outdoor gigs in 1 week that were in the 90's, I wore long pants to all three, and I sweated almost to an unhealthy level.
