Rockin’ costumes

 In our interviews in the past few months, we asked rockers about their best Halloween costumes. Here are our favorite responses.

We were gonna be the Jonas Brothers, just as like a joke, but the problem is that none of us have curly hair, and they actually dress kinda like we do, so I don’t think anybody would get it.           Spencer Smith, Panic at the Disco

Last year we were in Toronto — we dressed up as Devo, and we played four Devo songs for the encore, which was really fun. But I think that if we were to dress up as something again we’d have to dress up as a band. ... It may be not as effective if we were dressed like Tokio Hotel ... and we’re playing our songs. Although I think we’d pick a cooler band than that. Maybe try to be like, Buffalo Springfield.        Ben Gibbard, Death Cab for Cutie

I was always Zorro. I started when I was five years old — I would make my own costume and I was Zorro up until I couldn’t dress as a character any more. There’s a lot of Zorro in Alice. I have this rapier sword, and I look good with it. It used to belong to Errol Flynn and it was one of the original swords from “Captain Blood.” I put it in my hand now and I am Zorro.              – Alice Cooper
