Am talking about stage dress .
Must admit Chris Squire has given me a few chuckles down the years .
Another occasion when I had a chuckle was when I saw a Genesis tribute do The Lamb & the singer coming out from behind the curtain dressed as The Slipperman. Totally distracted me from the seriousness of the music .
Back in the day were they advised by professional designers or did they dress to their own personal taste ?
Something like this?
Or this, look at the guy behind the keyboards:

Who were they BTW ?
They were Omega, a Hungarian group, which was pretty popular.

Geezer, I think that they raided your wardrobe for those photo shoots. I'll bet that at least two of them are wearing speedos underneath their garb.

I will wait until Scott Bails cues me to post the usual pics
To Omega credit, they were one of the first bands (and most likely the very first in East block) to understand the value of AOR entertainment...their performances were entrtaining on par with ELP, Elton John, Led Zep, Queen and other bands
Do it up, big guy.I will wait until Scott Bails cues me to post the usual pics
This thread could be infinitely long...
Music isn't about chops, or even about talent - it's about sound and the way that sound communicates to people. Mike Keneally
That said, keep it nice. This thread invites the opportunity to be a hater, we want to avoid that. Keep it light...
Am going to do a You Tube search right now !!!!
BTW , they remind me of a UK glam band called Chicory Tip . They had some Giogio Mirroda penned hits !
Do it up, big guy.
This thread could be infinitely long...Of course.... tee hee...
To be fair, the Gabriel pics are costumes, not outfits. Silly? Perhaps, but each of them relates to a particular song and were part of a theatrical-style performance. It's like saying Nathan Lane was "badly dressed" for wearing a Max Bialystock costume in "The Producers".
Carry on.
Be careful with putting personal info in any forum...
Just going by the OP:
Stage dress, to me = anything worn on-stage. No?
Yes !
I think these guys took the cake as worst dressed:

I think a "best dressed prog star" thread would be harder to come up with material for!
There's no shortage of poor wardrobe choices throughout the history of prog, but yeah, Kansas definitely had some image problems! You've got one guy in hot pants and tube socks, another guy in a bad prom tux, a fiddle player who just jumped off the tractor, I believe Livgren did the kimono thing for a while...
Thanks! I know. I weighed that & felt safe enough here (I guess we'll see).
I'm not on any other social media (no fb, myspace or anything else), so in the event that something went amiss, I'd know where to look.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
Seriousness?! You do know you're talking about an album that uses the line "Erogenous zones, I thank you" as a refrain, right?
Huh. Looks like just regular clothes to me? I'm going with Daves pick in post #15, or is that a costume too? Or Omega. Of course I wonder what people would say about us in 30 years...
