And none of them were together.
So it's not like there was a "let's all wear out leather pants" party or something (I think we've all been there). These were adult people who decided, independently, that it would be a good idea for them to put these on and go out where people could see them.
I know there are some of you who are quite fashion-conscious. So check me on this, please:
Approproate times for a woman to wear leather pants:
- When attending a casting for a Mötley Crüe video
- When taking on some official function in a rodeo
- When advertising, "hi, my name is ______ and I'm interested in picking up men my son's age"
- Oktoberfest? Not sure....
So, I don't know if they're coming back. Maybe Poison was touring and I just didn't hear about it. Maybe they're German.
In any case, I'm afraid. And you should be, too.

Does this mean that you would object my wearing black leather pants for our next gig?
Interesting. There has been an increase in "Leather Ranch" commercials lately. You know where there's 3 or 4 people in leather, literally head to toe? Just because you spent $1000 dollars on the outfit that does not mean you look hot in suede pants and a leather jacket with foot-long fringe along the arms.
Don't they get sweaty with all of that stuff on? Must be a bit uncomfortable me thinks...
Whenever I think of leather pants I can't help but being reminded of a certain keyboard player who wore them to church while he surveyed the audience for cute girls from the stage. But I won't mention any names. :)
Hey, Darryl, Did I tell you about the cute pants I bought the other day? They're black. They're also leather...
I can't wait for you to see them next time you come. Maybe you can take some pictures to show all your friends.
OK - I was just kidding. I didn't even buy any pants - I just couldn't resist the opportunity!!! Love you!
Oh man, it's going global. I'm pretty sure that the fringes have some kind of impact.. just not sure if it makes it better or worse.
Caro, I suppose that, in as much as there is a right place to wear leather pants, a rock gig is probably it. Past that, I'm going to leave it to your discretion... and what you can get by your singer.
in-case-he-blah-blah-blah-head... oh yeah, I completely forgot about that! I don't think he reads here, but you never know, so I'll respect your desire for privacy, and just say that if you're playing keyboards onstage in leather pants... you might as well be scoping the pews. Not much to lose at that point, I guess. But then, we've probably both made one or two unfortunate fashion decisions in our day, too.
And mom... I know you a little too well for that.
I knew this really classy lady (let's say she was over 40 though) who wore the most gorgeous pair of grey suede trousers. wow. I wanted some... but never got around to looking for any.
But real leather pants...yeah I only think of rockers and Germans with spiky 80s hair.
