Hey guys, its been a long time since ive spent time on this website, unfortunatly not had too much time for guitar lately
anyways, I have a video of a recent performance of my band Act Of Silence and I'm looking for feedback of any and every kind (stage presence, sound(even though its cam quality), Look, etc). pretty much anything that would be constructive with progressing as a band would be well appreciated.

Heres the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qR92tpdwlI8

Its a cover of Nickelback - Never Again

As said, any constructive critesism is more than welcome and ideas on how to fix said critesism is even more welcome

Im the one with the Iced Earth T-shirt on

I am the singer would have done the job too^^

You have a nice rough Rock voice and you feel natural on stage but you do not connect to the audience enough, you are always looking at your mates or away from the actual audience - you even turn away from them slightly!

The audience is much more into it if you make direct contact - point at people, tell them to sing the chorus or clap their hands. It takes a lot of confidence and training to go all out on stage and entertain people but it pays of when you can get the crowd going!

Bandmates are good. They pose, they play well. Bass sound was terrible though but it could be the cams fault...

Well man, I think it's amazing...Good stage presence, you're really feeling the music and the guitarist is also having a blast.

cheers guys, yea I agree that I need to conect with the audience more but im usually playing guitar onstage aswell as singing so its a new aspect for me to be "naked" on stage without my guitar. but its one im hoping to do more often

I just relised, pointing and clapping... that sounds alot easier than it actually is onstage lol.
I didnt actually notice I was looking at my mates that much either Thanks for pointing it out

Yeah, a bit more contact with the audience like Zakk said. And I'm so glad to see that you didn't headbang, keep it up, dare to refuse headbanging!

Your voice is a million bucks.
