As is not smashing the vocalist in the teeth with your machine heads whilst you do a manic dance. Hamster Quote
dudewheresmybass Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Dude, just watch a load of dvd's. Maiden, Metallica, and any other band really. it doesn't matter if you like their music or not, just watch and learn. It's a starting point after all. the best thing is to just let the music take you and be yourself in reaction to it! Quote

Davetbass Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 You`re forgetting foot on the monitor and "machinegunning" the front row!! Oldie, but a classic metal move p.s. Also spending 3 hours doing your hair then forgetting to tune your bass as a result of said preening!! (true story) p.p.s It wasn`t me! Quote

ergon Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 best one i've seen was oliver riedel playing seeman on an inflatable dingy 'floating' on the audience, also metalica nothing like long hair and bent knees, there's allso the one when you jump and manage to land as you play the first note. Quote

Mr. Foxen Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Get naked. Jump off stuff. DDD summed it up best on anotehr forum: [quote]Originally Posted by DDanDevious View Post theres nothing wrong with that man. one way or the other you are still playing the bass right? Whether or not you write the part, or someone else does, its up to you to play it with conviction, to convey its emotion, and rock the hell out of it. Plus when doing only root notes, its way easier to jump off of stuff. I feel that this is important. Chicks dig guys that jump off of stuff. They will see you bounding about the stage, like a gazelle hopped up on pixy stix and laxatives and they will say "wow, the sexy hott bass player gots the mad ups, I bet he's great in the sack" and the rest is, as they say, history. rock.

d-basser Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 depends on the type of metal, I am really into my black metal at the mo for which the moves are either a menacing dour stoic look or hand out holding the invisible heart of your foe, tongue out and manic eyes ala Immortal or similar. other than the headband like f*ck. though careful when i saw 1349 their bassist got his hair caught in his tunning pegs and ripped a huge chunk out mid set, kept going without flinching thought...now thats true metal.
