My take is that if the music the people have to play is good enough they would not have to resort to outlandish style and get-ups to distract the audience.

Whatever. Just an opinion.
I've found that no matter how good you are, having a really hot chick in your band will increase your fan base ;)

I don't know if it's your eyesight or your memory thats the problem but that aint no chick.....,

and reapplied it to his chin...but really Nano, if he were Alley Oop his forearms would be bigger than his biceps. And there'd be a dinosaur behind him.
There is. It's called a fog machine. :lol:

Personally, I can't figure out why you change a few bits of cloth that you wear, or cut some hair a little differently, and people think it's so "odd." It's really funny how little a change will elicit strong negative reactions sometimes...

I think artists in general like to experiment with cultural reactions like that. Then again, some are just attention-seekers.
Yup... and some genuinely don't give a hoot what anyone else thinks... it's about what *they* like.

I happen to love that about very creative folk... you never can tell by looking at them just who and what they really are.

Interesting... I would probably not want to date him... Too sweaty.


Here's the band's website: http://www.subwaytosally.de/

They're a bit on the raunchy side (in my opinion) or maybe you'd call that angry rock? No, not really, maybe goth? Um, I don't know... what is that anyway? but I see a bit of celtic influence in their music. It's all in German, I don't understand a word on their website (except where it said Real Player).

And heck, I like a man with a little meat on his bones. These German boys look well fed and they play whistles. What more could a girl want? :D

Peace,

Since nobody picked up on my earlier hint, does anybody else remember this:

Funny. I could have sworn the chorus was: Alley-oop poop, poop poop.
