Slash

Slash is probably the easiest one, cause everything you need is a black top hat and sunglasses. And if you don’t have long hair. Just get yourself a wig and you can be the Guns N’ Roses guitarist for one night.

ZZ Top

If you love this power trio from Texas and you and to show it on Halloween, get yourself a long beard in a costume store, get some sunglasses, a hat, boots and all you have to do is start singing “La Grange”.

KISS

This one is probably the most obvious one, since many fans wear this costume for Halloween every year. So, if you know some that knows how to do make up, ask that person to paint your face as The Demon (Gene Simmons), The Catman (Peter Criss), Spaceman (Ace Frehley), Starchild (Paul Stanley) or any other KISS members from other eras.

Alice Cooper

Another easy costume that involves make up is painting your face like Alice Cooper, all you got to do is to paint around your eyes like the legendary singer has done in his career.

Janis Joplin

Janis Joplin had a unique voice and also a distinguish style, since she used to wear feathers, dye her hair and wear nice sunglasses. If you are a girl, is not very hard to look like the legendary Janis. And there are many stores that sell these items.

Mascots

Rattlethead

An easy out for your Halloween costume is probably wearing only a mask, right? If you want a quick solution that is probably the best way. And some rock and roll mascots look really nice for Haloween. One of the them is the awesome Rattlehead, present in all Megadeth cover albums and of course, in their concerts.

Eddie

Iron Maiden‘s Eddie is probably the most famous mascot of rock and roll. The creature is in all their album covers and also present in all their concerts. If you are a Maiden, get your mask and play “666 The Number of The Beast” loud.

Quiet Riot

If you love the 80s and hard rock and wanna look kinda crazy to people in general, you can find yourself a straightjacket, a red one, if you can, and find an Iron Mask. There you go, you look like Quiet Riot‘s mascot, all you got to do now is hear “Bang Your Head” with your friends.
