I know it probably casts me as a luddite, but if I needed to "dress up" to make my guitar work, I would be giving up guitar soon. If a group can make their instruments soar, that is all I really care about. Too much attention to looks or theatrics is usually just a distraction, or worse... a cover up for lack of musical ablity. Next thing you know....you are adding some kind of kerokee robot to play the music, and that really sucks. Music is performance... posturing is not.

But then again, I listen to bands like the Eagles, who's performance style was labled as "loitering on stage". But when those 2 guitars started punching it out with each other, there wasn't a single ass in the room that wasn't moving. So there is my grain of salt.
