GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ Post Your Action Pics!
Posted by: Ayen Sep 25 2007, 09:53 AM
I thought it'd be fun to make a thread with everyone posting pics of themselves on stage. I've yet to play my first gig, so I unfortunately can't add. 
Go go go!

Posted by: Jeff Curtis Sep 25 2007, 02:04 PM
they are very fun. just keep practicing and it will come : ) you tha mannn!!
Posted by: Delusions of Granduer Sep 25 2007, 02:06 PM
Oh I'll keep practiceing...but I don't think I could ever get on a stage....I can barley play in front of my own wife.......... : (
Posted by: Jeff Curtis Sep 25 2007, 02:22 PM
honestly it just takes time. Just play play play in-front of whoever. and then eventually you wont even notice there in the room. Its all in the head, ya know? I can relate...... and this works!
Posted by: shredmandan Sep 25 2007, 02:53 PM
Ofcourse you could play onstage.
Anyone can it just takes guts to get up there.I only played once on a stage,i was 17 and i played with a little band my friends had infront of the entire school (over500 people)
.Talk about nervious my face was blood red and the crowd was all just a big blur.I played 2 different times that day once just with another guy bith of us playing acoustic and then with a band.Me and the other guy had to be the first act in the show and talk about nerves 
but i made it.Then once i played with my band it was a peice of cake compared to just playing basically my myself with one other guitarist acoustic.I look back and im so glad i did it as it was one of the greatest moments of my life .I dedicated the first song to a girl out in the crowd and now she is my wife Funny about playing infront of your wife,im that way to.I hate to play infront of my wife.I think i could actually play infront of a stranger easier than her .I just prefer to play for people that are musicains as well.It can be done though and if you ever get the chance to play live dont turn it down cause you will regret it one day.

I'm the dude with the orange explorer.
(I'm sorry I couldnt just post pics directly in this thread. Our website is down atm, we got lots of pictures there)
Edit: those pics were kinda crappy, I'll upload some to photobucket, some better ones.
This is from a gig we played with Gorgoroth and Dimension F3H.
Local gig in a sports hall.
Local gig, in the city.

Here's a few I've managed to dig out, including an old one of me playing Bjorn at an Abba show in Germany. That's me in the middle with my fingers in the air (See Kris, I'm almost Swedish!!!! )

Here are some live pics from my Black metal times....meanwhile I've left the Band
Posted by: Robin Sep 26 2007, 12:24 AM
Cool! Black and white makeup on stage is freakin awesome. We never used it though, just our singer a couple of times.
What was your bands name?
Posted by: Amarok Sep 26 2007, 12:47 AM
*hehe* We've tried to be true, but i hated it to paint my face...the name of the Band was Throne of Death
Posted by: Robin Sep 26 2007, 12:49 AM

Posted by: rokchik Sep 26 2007, 05:42 AM
Great pics everyone!
I don't have any as have never gigged, but have much respect for those of you who have. And Muris I love the pic of you sitting down....you look very relaxed
Posted by: visi0n Sep 26 2007, 05:50 AM
Thanks only the yellow one is mine, the other i borrowed only for that night from my guitar teacher..
Needed guitar tuned in Es, dont want to tune on stage .. hate it

Thanks Rok!
It was on soundcheck,I wasn't that relaxed on the concert tho,80.000 people in the audience
Posted by: tonymiro Sep 26 2007, 06:00 AM
Rokchik -
Now you would have to be pretty darn good to pull that off, but I thought I would just mention it as an option.
Now Muris has proven that a true guitar god can sit down and still look cool playing
.Cheers,
Tony
sadly when I sit down with my guitar I just look like a tired old man
Posted by: steve25 Sep 26 2007, 06:03 AM

lol just a little bit nervous then? Not quite like michael amott whos as comfortable on stage as in his bed

Muris
your pics cracked me up
.Almost every one of you playing you had the same type of stance where it looked like you were doing some wild tapping.Pretty cool.
Posted by: muris Sep 26 2007, 06:11 AM
Actually it was a joke

Thanks guys!
In past I rarely recorded videos on gigs,not any more.
Posted by: Robin Sep 26 2007, 09:59 PM
Good idea.
Heres one from a "battle of the bands" kinda thing we played on:
http://www.ukm.no/magasin/2007/video.php?&id=1273&mid=90&se=video&location=deltakerinfo&video=90_1276_1176803204.wmv
Note: It works best in Internet Explorer.
Haha, oh and btw, the reason you dont hear any audience applauding is becuase there werent any mics to record it
Posted by: Amarok Sep 27 2007, 01:28 AM
Hey Robin that video rocks! pretty cool!!!

Oh my....that was very noisy music
And a cool show!
I kept wondering if your neck and/or head hurts after such performances

Posted by: Robin Sep 27 2007, 03:30 AM
Thanks alot everyone.

It does hurt if you dont practice headbanging
When we do 30min - 1hour gigs I gotta headbang at band rehearsals some weeks before the gig.
One time we played for 30 minutes, constantly headbanging trough every song, but it didnt hurt at all becuase we had been practicing for 3 months to that gig, so I headbanged at rehearsals
Oh and btw, that music style sounds noisy at first, give it time and you'll think "How the heck could I dislike this music earlier?"
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=luFCBdS5PAs Beautiful.
Posted by: Amarok Sep 27 2007, 03:35 AM
I totaly agree with that, you must engaging oneself with this music.......then it can act like meditation
Posted by: Skyla°Lit Sep 27 2007, 03:41 AM
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=luFCBdS5PAs Beautiful.
Ah well...I just realized it's not really the music Robin - which is beautiful indeed - but that voice....it's just...CREEPY and Oh so Dark????!!
I guess I'm ok with the style if no one's singing
Posted by: Robin Sep 27 2007, 03:44 AM
Yeah, its like that with every genre. Some years ago I did not understand what was so good about blues, jazz, classical music, folk and so on. But the past year I've been giving every genre a change, and I LOVE EVERYTHING now. There are only two types of music, that is Good music and Bad music, it has nothing to do with genres. You just gotta learn to like it. Like Maniac from Mayhem said in a interview: "Black metal is just like opera, you got to train your ear to like it."
I guess I'm ok with the style if no one's singing
Haha yeah. EVERYONE hates growling vocals at first, but as I said, you gotta train your ear to like it
Posted by: tonymiro Sep 27 2007, 03:45 AM
I have a friend who fell asleep at a Motorhead clone band session years ago with his head in a bass bin he was so chilled. (It was also day 4 of the festival and he'd been drinking quite a bit - sure that had nothing to do with it
) .Cheers,
Tony
Posted by: Skyla°Lit Sep 27 2007, 03:58 AM
Haha yeah. EVERYONE hates growling vocals at first, but as I said, you gotta train your ear to like it
I kind of love everything too
Well...EVERYTHING minus black metal with growling vocals Sooooooooo many guys tried to get me into it....just didn't work out
Do you feel all develish and evil listening to it??? 'Cause I sure do - and I don't like the feeling...
But I guess you can still ask me in like a year or something
Posted by: Robin Sep 27 2007, 04:03 AM

Haha yeah, in one year you'll love it
And no, I dont really feel evil or anything when I listen to black metal
I feel exactly the same when I listen to riverdance, or blues or whatever. To me its all good music.

Kris
can you tell me again something about the Specs
Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Sep 30 2007, 10:10 PM
The Specs?
Posted by: Vinod Sep 30 2007, 10:21 PM
Spectacles?
Mmmmmmmm change in your profile photo.i love it
But with specs you like more calm and innocent.

His "specs" is really nice..look charm and young....
I agreed that to change your photo. It looks lovely!
Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Oct 1 2007, 04:06 AM
Aha now I get it - the glasses!
I use those to see the dots on the fretboard as well as my lovely audience.
It also helps me look intellectual when I need it the most, ie when I have made a fool of myself, happens more often then you'd think!

"Spectacles" - Kris I bet you thought - Vaddå spektakel, det var ju ett bra gig ju?
...and I'm sorry everyone, but Kris' thoughts mostly come in Swedish, not all the time though, sometimes it's just a blur

its good to see the photos of people doing gigs i hardly play my guitar with my amp in case anyone hears me, even though my guitaring has improved lots with the GMC lessons.....more pwer to you all
Posted by: rhcpandy Oct 2 2007, 09:13 PM
all the pictures look amazing, from them playing in a gig looks like a opportunity i should not miss.
i think my school is going to have a 'show' in about 5 months, so ill post pictures if i ever get to play.
Also Luciana, are you in a band with one of the GMC Instructor? i forgot his name
Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Oct 2 2007, 10:25 PM
Heres mine, from a gig around 10+ years ago, playing my Strat in a band called Wonderful Life

That's a great picture Andrew, but what is the drummer inhaling??
Posted by: tonymiro Oct 5 2007, 08:31 PM
Just like ex President Clinton and ex PM Blair I'm sure he's not actually inhaling whatever it might be
.Cheers,
Tony
Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Oct 5 2007, 08:50 PM
Well, its either a huge Cuban Cigar, or maybe, just maybe, its the tom mic
(Although why the drummer would be inhaling a microphone I have no idea ...)

I'm not letting them get away with not posting it...
Cirse...Gabriel and Luciana with the rest of their band. Same set from picture #4 that Luciana posted.

True. And wasn't David Cameron exceptionally vague when questioned on whether he had. Surely vagueness is one of the signs...

That was a great show!

wow, what a great performance
. I like the lyrics and Luciana's singin alot
Posted by: Scott Gentzen Oct 7 2007, 12:42 AM
That was a great show!
Wasn't me, I promise. I don't have a decent camcorder and I'm too broke to go to Argentna too. I'm not paying $500 to see Van Halen, I'm not spending $2000 to see Cirse. Sorry.
If they come to the US, or if I find myself in Argentina, I would do some traveling if they're playing though. My Spanish sucks, but I like the music.
