Just be grateful that groups like the Bay City Rollers never wore the kilt! If memory serves me, they did wear Royal Stewart Bell bottoms however.......ugh!
Oh yes they did! Based on the level of formality it may have been an exciting S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night.
That really gets me all these Celtic bands that start out with wearing kilts to attract attention for themselves then when they decide time to go rock we'll start wearing pants. Don't get me wrong I love ETH they are a great band and are really nice guys to talk with but come on what are they thinking. I know when you want to move to a large market of audience you need to step out out of the stigma of "that band that wears kilts" but come on that's what made them. Lets Hope MEN IN KILTS another Canadian Celtic band doesn't decide to change their image, or any other band . I know I'm sounding off a bit I was just having this conversation last night with Rob Campbell of the MUDMEN we were discussing the design of their new outfits for the stage. Anyway I love the kilt I love the way it looks, especially with a little imagination what can be worn or the design options that is why I hate to hear about such a drastic image change for these guys or any other band at lest Jonathan Davis of Korn still makes a point to wear a kilt at some time during their live performances. I wish I could make a kilt for him. I guess that would be a whole other wish list in itself.
With so many grunge and metal bands wearing short pants on stage, kilts should be a no-brainer, even if they're solid colors. I'd think they would be sooo much more comfy under those hot lights and a real turn-on for the women in the audience.
