    Default Jeans or Suits?

    Ok, there's been much discussion here on the Jeans or Suits issue. Let's take it to a vote.

    Add your comments too.

    Personally, I like my rock stars in jeans or whatever they happened to wear in the day of their huge success. The Eagles nearly always wore jeans back in the day. Faded, ripped, torn, patched (my personal favorite on young Glenn ), black, dark wash. Whatever. They were blue jeans, and they were cool.

    I'm not saying they don't look good in the suits because they do, but they look like insurance salesmen or ceo's heading to the board room. They don't look like rock stars.

    No matter what, I love them and I'll take whatever I can get, but I love the Eagles in jeans!

    Here is a Joe Walsh interview in which he addresses the suits.

    I agree with Joe. I know I feel a certain way when I'm dressed professionally and another way when I'm in my favorite pair of jeans. I think this will go down as a bad decision and hopefully, if they ever tour again they will learn the lesson!

    They didn't wear suits during the HFO period. They wore jeans the whole time. During F1 they tended to wear more formal clothes in the first half of the show and then change to jeans.

    I voted for 'both as in HFO' (sic) but then I realised I should have voted for the suits out of loyalty to Glenn. The fact that I am in a very small minority doesn't bother me. I don't think there has to be this 'rock stars should only wear jeans' thing. Glenn looks superb in a suit. That is undeniable, I'm afraid. Also, I have yet to see this sight and I need to see it live before I can say that I dislike it.

    I do see where other people are coming from but I'll just stick to my own lonely path. So although there are no 'suit' votes because I made a mistake, you can count me as a 'suit' person.

    I have to say that they look more like Rock stars in Jeans and T-Shirts and that makes them HSG, But I'll take them anyway I can

    I voted jeans. I don't dislike suits, nor do I think the guys look bad in them, but to me, they look too formal and stiff. Especially when performing songs like LITFL. It just looks incongruous.

    I am biased because I love the casual look, especially on Don - plaid, workboots, henleys, jeans - but I think the guys all have their own styles and wearing uniform black suits quashes this. If they were to do what they did in F1 - first half more formal, second half casual - I would be thrilled. F1 was only a few years ago; they could still wear those clothes and look fantastic.


    you better put it all behind you, baby, 'cause life goes on
    you keep carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside--

    Oops! I knew that. I was thinking Farewell 1 and typing HFO when I did that. Grrrrrr.

    Soda, if you can correct the poll it would be appreciated. Thanks and sorry for confusing everyone.

    I like the suits of the F1 Tour however the black suits of the LROOE Tour am simply too boring and stiff. I like both jeans and suit, nevertheless I vote for the jeans! That looks simply cooler!
