Higgie Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I don't know how to describe what I do on stage apart from "grooving" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMX Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 In my rock covers band, it's a bit of headbanging with my legs spaced far apart. It just happens, I don't place my feet there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umcoo Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I used to do the Kim Deal head roll, with the fag hanging out my mouth. Not any more though, thank you smoking ban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinynorman Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) I've started moving about more since I got more confidence in playing, I don't think style comes into it though. We used to have a keyboard player who was into amateur dramatics and he was always going on at me for turning my back on the audience. I think he was upset that I went for a chat with the drummer during his solos. If there's room I wander over and irritate the guitarist. I've also been accused of not smiling, but I say we're a rock band, not Herman's bloody Hermits.

Clarky Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I move around a bit more freely these days now that I know our band's songs backwards. I have already realised the error of my ways when trying something too radical (eg, holding bass vertically aloft rockgod-style or one embarrassing situation where I was tapping the top of the neck absent-mindedly in a non-playing part and realised to my horror that I was due to play again so had to play a line with fingers downwards, a la John McCoy, screwing up badly in the process). Biggest sin though (and one I am working hard on cancelling out) is resorting to a Jimmy Page-style trout pout which looks bl**dy ridiculous but unfortunately comes naturally to me during fast bits.

leschirons Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Head back, eyes closed Jack Bruce stance. Usually just before hitting an Eb when it should have been E (I never learn) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
