Jizmak Da Gusha - Armor

Armor

Jizmak is the only character who does not wear his armor during concerts (so as not to interfere with his mobility as a drummer), with the exception of two-bladed arm coverings resembling dragon mouths, a "gut-plate", and a loin cloth. These costume pieces have undergone minor changes, getting more detailed as time progressed. His headpiece mostly had subtle changes until 2004. In "Scumdogs of the Universe" and "America Must Be Destroyed" Jizmak had 2 big ears and a very large red jaw, but the top half of his head was Roberts in makeup. Starting in "This Toilet Earth" and lasting until "Violence has Arrived" Jizmak had a similar red headpiece, except the ears were slightly shrunk, and a top half of the head was added. This had a doglike nose, beady black eyes, and a top jaw. The hair was removed from the costume (it being Roberts' real hair, and he wore it short for a time). For the most part, the lower jaw stayed the same. This was the longest lasting Jizmak head. For the 2004 album "War Party" and 2005's "Live in Mt. Fuji" the headpiece was changed to closely resemble a wolf, with grey fur and distorted features. His hair was again long (like it is in real life). For the summer tour, as well as the new album, his costume (as with the entire band) has undergone changes. The mask still retains lupine characteristics (the wolf's mouth is wider and the fur is brown), and the armor is composed of exposed muscle mass (as opposed to the Roman segmental armor he wore since "Violence has Arrived"). In behind-the-scenes footage, the armor doesn't hinder his flexibility (he is able to reach all of his cymbals without trouble), and he is seen wearing it in the "School's Out" video.

Famous quotes containing the word armor:

    Poor shad! where is thy redress? When Nature gave thee instinct, gave she thee the heart to bear thy fate? Still wandering the sea in thy scaly armor to inquire humbly at the mouths of rivers if man has perchance left them free for thee to enter.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    In such an armor he may rise and raid
    The dark cave after midnight, unafraid....
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    The humblest citizen of all the land, when clad in the armor of a righteous cause, is stronger than all the hosts of error.
    William Jennings Bryan (1860–1925)
