How do you move?

[Higgie]

I don't know how to describe what I do on stage apart from "grooving"

[HMX]

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.

I used to do the Kim Deal head roll, with the fag hanging out my mouth. Not any more though, thank you smoking ban

[stonecoldbass]

The Funky Chicken. That's where it's at people.

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.

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.

I used to run around like an idiot.

Head back, eyes closed Jack Bruce stance. Usually just before hitting an Eb when it should have been E (I never learn)
