Chaps

[Calderone]

I was wacthing 1983 US fest with a couple of friends
and some of them came up with the thing that
why dlr is using chaps ...its a gay's sign ...
and i dont believe it ...what's your take on this ?

[scottydabodi]

Anyone who thinks DAVE is gay is a total fucking DUMBASS. Dave gets more pussy than Purina Cat Chow for fuck's sake!! If chaps are a sign for being gay, then what about every fucking cowboy/farmhand in Texas? Try telling one of those guys that they're gay...

Just something else innappropriate to wear....it was all about a flair for the ridiculous as the sublime.

Hey Rust!! Great to see ya!!

Chaps look great on Roth and on cowboys. Only Roth could get away with no jeans under them.

It doesn't mean he is gay.

I like the chaps.

Chaps are fucking gay.... but not for David Lee Roth... it's an exception!

Foe awhile gay men sported a kind of LEATHER biker look. They wore alot of LEATHER chaps and leather chaps. I don't think they were a sign as much as a fashion statement at the time...

This is just WRONG!

No! Dave is a secure, heterosexual man seeking attention from the female demographic (not a common thing for 70's & 80's era "heavy metal" act). Dave wanted to draw the typical teeny bopper girl to rock & roll. This was his primary motivation, not to 'signal' guys he was gay. Dave got away with wearing things most dudes would never think of. Because HE'S DAVE stupid!

The Butt Chaps drew attention and controversy! The 'Censorship Board' would definitely not approve, but we would all know about it!

Dave's comment on the chaps/assless pants...""Rock N Roll has to have a little shock value, a little titilation, it has to make you skirm in your seat some.......that way there is a little something for everybody - DLR

Nuff said...TB

Assless Pants: Lita Ford vs Diamond Dave

dave once said "it takes a very masculine man to look sexy in a pair of pink spandex..." same goes for the chaps...and dave is everything you're not plus a silo of 200% testosterone

Damn right, Nick! Dave was just using girls' focus on guys' asses. As simple as that.

I still can't see what will have chicks interested in dudes' buns though.

What's the use, sugars??
