Brad Paisley Faceplant [Oh the Humility]

Posted by Adam Gold on Tue, Mar 9, 2010 at 7:00 AM

If you recall from this previous post, I'm an avid lover of gravity-challenged musicians. Posted above is video of the newest entry into the stage-fall hall of fame. It captures Brad Paisley lunging full-speed into his own stage, bringing his ripping guitar solo to a grinding halt. Instant classic. Even Paisley himself tweeted:

Allright [sic], whoever posts the YouTube footage of it gets a meet and greet. I have got to see it. I hit hard. And I mean freaking hard.

The tumble transpired as Paisley was wrapping up a concert in South Carolina. He was briefly hospitalized but sustained no major injuries, just some bad bruises to the body and a minor one to the ego. As indicated by the steady stream of self-deprecating tweets the singer has issued since the incident occurred, he's being a pretty good sport about it. Despite the epic stage-fall, Paisley still has more to be embarrassed about with those distressed jeans he's wearing, if you ask me. Them britches are so douche-tastic, not even a poor-quality flip camera, shooting from a great a distance, can mask their wackness. Seriously, even Johnny Drama is laughing at those terrible trousers.

Jeans aside, how 'bout those Paisley t-shirts. I mean, really. Dude, loves himself a decorated T.

Ok, so he isn't balding? I thought that's why he wears a cowboy hat all the time. Why else would you wear a hat all the time unless you were balding? He's too handsome for this mess. Can we give Brad Paisley a makeover?

well...he seems to be doing ok for himself with his current setup. i don't think his target demographic would go for a 3 crow makeover. right?

3 Crow makeover? No way. I want to see him in a suit with a subtle yet tasteful pinstripe. And a pocket square! If that's too formal, how about a light blue oxford shirt and more appropriate jeans?

again, i think you're going to lose his target demographic with that setup. do you think Anna up there WANTS TO SEE HIM IN A SUIT WITH A SUBTLE YET TASTEFUL PINSTRIPE AND A POCKET SQUARE???? HELL NO!!

He won't lose his target demographic! He will expand it! I've been looking at tons of pictures of Paisley this morning (as one does) and his main problem is he almost gets it right but can't quite commit. Here is an example. His wife (I assume) looks pretty fucking amazing, but his jeans are too light and the top is too casual. I rather like hoodies outside of jackets, but I think a nice black button up top (manblouse?) would look so much better. And he either needs to shave or grow a full beard.

Subtle yet tasteful pinstripes are for subtle but tasteful artists. Like Charles Walker or something. Besides, given Paisley's name, don't you think he'd be more suited to wear something like this:

I saw him in the On the Run on 12th once wearing full-on Harley gear. Do-rag, Oakleys, leather vest. All that. He was very cordial, but he basically looked absurd. Seems like a nice enough guy, though.

Yes. Never wear a brown belt with black shoes, or vice versa. That will be $200.

@d.patrick
That concerns me. Deeply. He's pretty much the only conventionally attractive male country musician I can think of (Keith Urban is too pretty), and I think he owes it to himself and humanity as a whole to look 100% on point at all times. Do you ever see Faith Hill or Carrie Underwood slouch? I'm not saying he's got to look like Chuck bass or anything. Basically he should try to dress more like Andrew Bird. All men should.

"i'm chuck bass. surely they know what that means, even in europe."

Maybe he never gets is quite right on purpose. Maybe it's all part of his guileless, boy next door charm. Don't women want a guy who's a bit of a fixer-upper anyway?

@patrick
Not when he is a 37-year-old multimillionaire. It's not like he's embarrasingly unfashionable, it's just a little too "Friday afternoon on the quad," you know? And a general rule to live by: men in suits > men not in suits. You can't argue, it's science.
@Bawston Sean
The last thing that weirded me out was your beard. That thing could have stopped bullets.
