This post is for those of us who tend to run hot. Be it by size or you just got a constant fever of 103.
Anyone have tips for staying cool on stage? Nerves, heat, lights… Indoor/outdoor humidity. What do you guys do to not look like a walking sweat stain by the end of 3hrs of bopping and popping?
Go full GWAR. Stage blood. Gallons and gallons of it.
Sweat like a geyser. It’s the tradition of legends.
Pennsylvania isn’t too far off however the humidity is a killer. I’m the kinda guy that wears shorts 3/4 of the year or until folks start questioning my sanity. I’m not allowed to wear shorts on stage though which kinda makes me want to join a metal band where my whale proportioned shirtless body can flap free in the wind 
Even when I was 50lbs lighter I still ran hot all of the time. If I had a mic stand I’d get a clip on fan but I’m seeing they have belt fans on Amazon and I might give one a try. It would probably beat wedging an ice pack in my wedgie space…
It’s a good look if you aren’t obese. I’m ok being the fat old guy not the fat sweaty old guy.
In all seriousness it gets ridiculous here in the summer - very hot and humid (which reduces the effectiveness of sweating). For outdoor construction workers and so on they make these vests with fans in them to essentially keep them from dying.
Would a pair of those underpants for vasectomy victims help? The ones with the special ice pouches? I’d think if the beans were frigid that would help bring down the core temp?
Damn… I wish I’d had that, I just went with the classic bag of peas.
Yeah, they didn’t have that new fangled technology back in 1999 when I got mine done. Frozen peas that were immediately thrown away when no longer needed. I did get the special edition of White Pony by the Deftones from my wife (at the time) for my pain though.
Ngl, those underpants are kind of tempting for summer time. Same idea as the seat poofers in my car. Those things are god sends when it’s hot out.
Yeah was gonna say, strong tempted to order a pair myself
I exuberantly chose a vasectomy at age 22, pain and all.
Lived happily ever after. No victim here. 
I should have had it done at like 16. Silly doctors and their “ethics”
Seriously though I knew by 16 I never wanted kids, and was right - still don’t.
Make it your super power, like in that scene in Fight Club:
(1:40)
“Play from your balls!”
“I can’t they are frozen to my legs!!!”
Worthy idea. Maybe a bag of peas…
That’s a whole other story. Thought about it but what if civilization fails and they need me to repopulate the world??? I mean I might be able to survive a prolonged food crisis and be the last man alive
they make neck fans and neck air conditioners and having used them they really do work. you look ridiculous but they do work.

I know we all know, but the research backs this up. The fatter you are the more you’ll struggle in the heat.
That’s not opinion, that’s science.
Yea. Plus you die sooner. Fun stuff.
