On all levels, crap.

I don’t trust those folks. ‘Member back in your teens/early 20’s how there was always one dickweed, no matter the temp, had to have his shirt off?

Anyways, Numbnuts picks up a guitar and starts a band.

I’ll always ignore those bands.

Unfortunately, that’s all I can think of at the moment, but it is a valid reason to vote NOT CRAP.

P.S. Don’t forget to create the poll.

P.P.S. Female artists who play without shirts are NOT CRAP.

Thanks, good buddy.

To Iggy, I knew that’d be the first answer, but I stand firm.

Not crap, wf9

If you’re a high energy band sweating buckets in a hot room, not crap. If you’re a dude with a wah pedal and a Dr Suess hat who stands in one place, crap.

I mean, Fugazi.

Matt Pike.

Please close the thread.

2nded. Pike and Iggy that's about it.

Crap. Men can be topless in public, but women can't. Even if there was equality in this area, women's chests are slightly more sexualized than men's.

Do you really need to see Matt Pike's moobs to know that Sleep and HoF slay?

This makes me think of John Grabski and LKN: both could pull it off and both are now gone

I'm sure there's some cutoff where I might notice this in a negative way, but on the other hand have had it with Rock Rules™ set by dweebs with no stage personality. Do what you like, Not Crap.

Freddie Mercury!

I'm going to have to give a not crap to the guy from Def Leppard who's probably about 80 years old but still looks cut as hell up there.

I wouldn't judge somebody for performing without a shirt, but anyone performing without will be judged as such.

If you're shirtless in a bar playing a wah solo - ye shall be judged.
But typically I don't think twice when a drummer or active vocalist/frontperson are shirtless.

Worth noting that where I live, it's been legal for over 25 years for [those who identify as] women to go topless anywhere in public - but they don't.
Because its a buttrock move? Or repression? Probably both.

NC, but major waffles.
