Dude from Thunderbolt Pagoda pulled it off this past weekend. It could have also been the calf high leather boots, skin tight black rock jeans, or the leather wristbands that made it work though.

Ha Ha yeah, he can pull it off. I think he said that's only the second time he's ever done that.

Yeah, I think to make it work you either gotta totally not give a fuck, or totally give a fuck, and then give even less of a fuck than totally not giving a fuck. To pull off the shirtless thing in that get-up, I believe you fall into the latter, and dude brought it.

Not crap, but it’s definitely genre dependent. No shirt suits early AC/DC just fine (Bon Scott also somehow gets a pass for that haircut – as a front man, he is more or less above criticism) whereas I don’t know if shirtless would do much for, say, a Smog show. Or maybe I’m just being narrow minded about that.

It's fine if you're ugly and out of shape like David Yow, but I don't want to see anyones perfectly carved pecks and six pack - we get it, you're sexy.

If it's over 100 degrees, skins it is. Normally flesh is not part of my attire, but I'm heading down to play some shows in Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee, and Skilling is talkin' 105. Confederates prepair for the invasion of a fella' who looks like he stretched Jack Links over some bones, and smells like a deep fried leather Cheerio.

Actually, at least in JL's prime, Yow was in pretty good shape. And still, it's not like he got doughy, really. Bag-o-bony, maybe, but not so shleppy.
I am a weird recluse only here for sex.
