So guys, I'm going to see Sabaton and Alestorm soon, so I thought I'd ask here to see what you guys think about what I'm planning to wear. I'm looking mainly for comments on practicality at a metal gig, also for a bit of info, Alestorm if you didn't already know are a pirate themed band, hence the getup, anyhow, here it goes. --
-Pirate skull t-shirt -Bandanna -Dead Threads Green Rave Pants, (Pic)
-Black Doc Martens -Maybe an old thin military jacket if it's a bit cold.
I'm mainly looking to see if it's a good idea to wear the bondage pants to the gig. I can take the chains/belts off them and they zip off at the second pocket to make shorts if that's any help.
Cheers!

Unfortunately, lack of money + time makes that slightly difficult. I'm starting, with a little advice to gravitate towards wearing a Slipknot t-shirt with some black jeans, Doc Martens and military jacket.
Alestorm is pretty damn awesome.
If you're going to wear those pants though, it's worth noting that those lengths of chain and fabric hanging off them arent just there to look good - they actually work as rather handy suspenders, too!
(Once knew someone who was getting themselves into the rave scene in a big way. Took to wearing this sort of gear. Long story short, his mind was blown when I pointed out the suspenders. He thought they were just there to look hardcore )

Personally I think the pants look hideous other than that though, sounds fine with me.
Indeed, why worry about what you're wearing? Don't dress like a slob, obviously, but aren't most concerts in a dark room with a bunch of people in the audience that aren't going to be paying the slightest bit of attention to you?
If you're worried about what the ladies think, dress presentably and bring some extra cash. That'll get you farther than a pair of bondage pants, I assure you.

Full agreement with these pants. They look like the kind of pants Michael Jackson would've worn if he had gotten fat like Elvis.
If you're going to a metal show you have to wear 3 shades of black.
Doc Martins were the best boots Ive ever owned. I had a pair that seriously lasted like 4 years. It was incredibly impressive
---------
I've got a pair that I've had for nearly 11 years that I still wear every once in a while.
painted: 12 dryads,9 glade guard,2 glade guard scouts.
assembled but unpainted: 2 glade guard and the lord's bowman, 8 glade guard scouts, sexy elf lord
in the box: , 8 glade riders, , one female spellsinger, Orion, Ariel, the faerie queen. SOB immolator, 15 sisters.
Doc Martens how to look hard while having very comfy feet.
My next pair of shoes will be Docs because they are comfy and do last a long time.
You will be pleased to hear that I won't be wearing kegs like those pictured above. If I wanna dress like a clown I'll join a circus And any way I need something spray on to show off my fine set of pins. Betty Grable eat yer heart out!

For a moment there, i almost thought that this was a thread about grown men asking other grown men what they should wear and everybody chipped in "Sex in the City" style..
Surely i didnt see that did i?
We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.
C'mon leave the lad alone. This is the age of conspicuous consumption, apparently even at metal gigs.* In any case OP surely it's more important to hold the latest phone in a camera and record the event for posterity/ post on Youtube etc than actually worry about what you wear.
Or actually enjoy the moment!
*looking at the poseurs in the pic above, are they really metal? When I were a lad metal was metal and pirates were new romantics who got the pee extracted
