JuliaD Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I know this is gonna sound weird, but I'm working on a project that involves using images from many music eras, 50's, 60's, disco, etc... so I don't mess up, what kind of music is it where the followers usually dress in black leather and studs? Is it punk rock or heavy metal? Can anyone help me on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raspberrywine Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Well Gene Vincent did it in the 50s, Elvis in 69 in Vegas, the Clash, Billy Idol, and the Pistols in '78 and a few others to boot so it seems pretty universal in rock. I think the Poppy Family did it in 72 also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 It sounds like heavy metal to me, but check it out with someone who knows more about the sub-classifications than I do--like maybe Carmen Smalley or popdude. Good luck. I know if *you're* working on the project, it will be very very good. --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip from st.paul mn Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 If you take a look at all of the pictures from the English "punk rock" era (74-78 I would believe), you will see quite a bit of similar garb. It did transition over here (again). I think when Raspberries were out on the road originally, the New York Dolls were probably the "most far out" in fashion encounted. I think it all goes around with relation to Elvis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierson Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 what kind of music is it where the followers usually dress in black leather and studs? Is it punk rock or heavy metal? Can anyone help me on this? Black leather basically begins with the early rockers like Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran... it's the old biker/greaser/rocker outfit... it was embraced by the early Beatles pre-Brain Epstein... he softened their image much to John Lennon's chagrin...Leather made a comeback with the '50s revival in the early '70s and with punk rock like the Ramones (who wore torn jeans and black leather jackets)...In heavy metal leather was worn by less audacious and more straight ahead bands like AC/DC and Guns & Roses... it's safe to say that it's primarily heavy metal bands who opted to wearing leather pants on stage more than any other genre of music... studs, too...

Bob Allen Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I've heard Bea Arthur sports leather panties from time to time (but then, who among us doesn't?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
