80s Party Costume Ideas: Metal Head/ Axl Rose
Brush up on your head banging and get ready be one bad a-- dude. Attitude is a prerequisite to this costume. In addition to that, blend together the following elements and you are going to have to beat off the metal chicks with a . . . drum stick.
- Hair - the 80s metal look was all
about hair (try the wig shown to the right)
- Shades (see picture to right for sample style -
Buy Here)
- Bandana - this can worn around the neck (always sexy) or tied around
your jeans
- Black t-shirt or black leather vest as shown to the right
- TIGHT jeans - you got to show the girls what you got
- Boots - work boots or cowboy boots
- Finally, you'll need some type of leather band bracelet or heavy silver
neck chain
- Bottle of whiskey as a prop (or liquid refreshment, whatever)
The Axl Rose adaptation of the Metal Head costume
You're going to want to
switch to the blonde wig for this version of the Metal Head.
Critical adaptations to the above costume list are included below.
- Bandana - for Axl, you'll want to tie it on your head as shown
- Shades - those go up top on top of the bandana
- Black leather jacket
- Re-watch the Patience video for some tips on the uniquely Axl hip moves.
Watch the Patience video here. We
at Like Totally 80s particularly like the little hip thing he does around
the 1:45 minute mark in the video. You'll also note when watching
the video that in this case, he has added a baseball cap turned backwards
to the head bandana - also a nice touch.
Party on, Wayne!
