I love me some Cramps, I do, and this live bootleg recently cropped up in my Youtube suggestions (which have improved so much since I managed to convince them I never, ever want to see Chappers or the Captain again). By happy coincidence, I was flipping through the 'C' section in Monorail records, and what was there? Why, topless Lux, in just tight pants and heels, writhing on the floor! I bought it immediately, and it's been doing heavy rotation on my shiny new record player. I can't believe that Gretsch haven't done a Poison Ivy signature 6120 yet. I mean, they could go all-out on the case, giving it the most ridiculously plush leopardskin velvet padding - call it the Lux Interior...Yoko Ono, in one of her many instructional poems/art pieces wrote:Imagine the day when a guitar forum thread could feature a band that has a topless man in tight underpants.
Another topless man in tight pants that I love is Iggy Pop. The Stooges will always be one of my favourite bands, and I'm happy that I got to see them live a good few times before the Ashetons passed on.
One thing, however, that I hope I never need to see again, is the shot in the Red Hot Chili Pepper's "Give it Away" video where the camera pans between Anthony Kiedis' legs, focussing on his pants-clad crotch. Not a flattering angle.
Any other suggestions for good topless men in tight pants music?
