GMC Forum _ CHILL OUT _ Do You Pose Like A Rockstar?

Posted by: Spiderusalem Nov 27 2007, 11:33 PM

I realize that I really get into it. Especially when theres nothing to do but strum, I get into these siezure like modes, and when I wake up out of it I'm like "what just happened"?

Posted by: Owen Nov 27 2007, 11:39 PM

I take a big egotistical legs wide apart pose then concentrate manically on my guitar whilst occassionally trying to headbang laugh.gif

No-one can see my face anyway, its hidden behind a massive wad of hair tongue.gif

Posted by: Robin Nov 27 2007, 11:45 PM

I pretty much just headbang laugh.gif

Though on our last gig I walked around alot and looked super kewl.

So far, the only times I've played on stage have been at my church, and I pretty much just stand there and stare at the paper with the chords on it... biggrin.gif

First of all, most of the songs, I've never even heard before, much less played, so I'm just trying to figure it out and play it right as I go laugh.gif

Also, I don't really like most of the songs, so it's kind of hard to get into it... unsure.gif

Posted by: VinceG Nov 28 2007, 12:21 AM

Sometimes just mildly headbang but mostly I just look down on my guitar while I play.

Posted by: FretDancer69 Nov 28 2007, 12:24 AM

Oh yeah, I cant help but look like a freakin rock god with that guitar.

took me a while but i finally got it down! biggrin.gif tongue.gif

Mischievous, Smirky hehe tongue.gif

I can really get into it, every now and then I'll do something crazy
yeah, every now and then... biggrin.gif

I try desperately NOT to look on my fretboard at all so I can watch the audience and respond on them.

Man, you have rockin' hair! I wish mine was like that... mine just kind of lays flat, it's pretty boring. sad.gif

I love how the bassist has hair in his mouth... laugh.gif

[attachment=2711:attachment]

P.S. Actually, this is a good idea of what I look like when I play, right now, almost every time I play I just play sitting at my computer! I just have my GT-8 going straight into my computer, using it as a speaker, at least until we move somewhere more permanent. biggrin.gif It actually sound pretty nice, too, but I think it would probably be bad for the speakers if I turn it up loud at all...

I had long hair 3 out of the 4 years I was in high school. It grew out fast and long, and got all knotty and after a while I forgot why I grew it out so long. It was hard to take care of, I didn't think it looked very good, so I chopped it all off. you dont need long hair to rock out, but it sure does feel nice

I hate that stereotype, that "rockers have to have long hair"... I think it's ridiculous! I just have long hair just because I like it... and maybe because I'm too lazy to get it cut. laugh.gif I think it's also kind of weird that now it's "normal" for guys to have short hair and girls to have long hair. I mean, where did that come from?

good question. Not sure.

But I dig chicks with short hair because its not the norm wink.gif

Posted by: The Uncreator Nov 28 2007, 02:45 AM

Yeah i move around alot, even in my room.

My facial expression depends on what i play, from what im told, i look like i have a bad case of madness, or dementia when i play Heavy stuff (ala Cannibal Corpse, or something fast), when i play the blues or something more melodic and slow, people say i look like im "struggling", the SRV one. i also never open my eyes when i play slower/ bluesier stuff, i dont know why.

*EDIT*

If i could, id even swing from zip lines like Dickinson does wink.gif

I think headbanging with short hair looks a bit silly, but that's just me...

Robin I have to say, you look like a badass in this pic cool.gif

It might have something to do with your awesome guitar. I want a damn explorer, right after a hollow body of some kind and a jazzmaster or strat and a parker mojo and an engl/marshall/carvin/mesa/elmwood/whatever half stack I end up with biggrin.gif

I tend to make faces when i play, but I dont think it is a wrong thing. Many greats make faces when they play, i think it doesent` mean anything. smile.gif

It means you're in the zone. If you don't make an ugly face while playing then you're not totally in to it! tongue.gif

Who says a rocker has to have long hair?
















...as long as you have a beard, everything's allright.

Kerry king is the exception biggrin.gif

Posted by: David.C.Bond Dec 6 2007, 12:14 AM

Haha what an awesome thread!
The music is obviously #1, but you've gotta get the poses right!

Here me in a classic pose (before I cut my hair)


Posted by: JVM Dec 6 2007, 12:21 AM

I love how y ou have your initials on your guitar biggrin.gif Great pose.

Posted by: Bogdan Dec 7 2007, 09:53 PM

A tend to move and jump as much as I can..I am currently trying to figure out how to slap the bass and jump at the same time wink.gif My facial expression is always a happy face - simply I'm very happy when playing live for people to enjoy! wink.gif

I play in a ska band that consists of a scottish guy (me - guitar), an english girl (sax), an aussie (trumpet), a canadian (trumpet), a palestinian (bass + vox), and japanese guy (drums) who has a mohawk down to his ass and is dating an Irish goth.
We skank biggrin.gif we have some sweet photos actually, I'll try n find them

laugh.gif I have a friend that loves ska, he taught me how to skank, it's a heck of a lot of fun! But, I don't like ska music... It's fun, but not very musical, in my opinion.

Posted by: drummingguitarist06 Dec 10 2007, 11:07 PM

I stand there, looking pretty cool. I wear my guitar low, so it looks good. I don't really move that much, I'm too focused on the sound, although I do headbang. In solo mode, I'm pretty much SRV or Santana, the struggle to pull something off, looking like you just took a hard blow when you hit a solid high note, it's awesome. That passion dwells within lol.




What I usually look like on stage...
