Sign in to disble this ad
So looking over the Trujillo with the bass of doom videos, I realized a couple things. first Trujillo is one hell of a player, second I can not stand his "power stance" or what ever you want to call this: 
so I ask who do you think has the silliest stage stance?

I'm sure there are worse, but at the time none came to mind. |

Some look ridiculous when viewed from an 'outsider' perspective, but genre rules are diverse and it's difficult for anyone to appreciate them all. I think my favorites for a good laugh must be the guys from Attack Attack! doing their crab-moves, or perhaps one of those jazz cats who has his bass all up under his chin and does this move where his head and shoulders are moved diagonally down and left, then back up without moving his feet at all. Oh, and the KISS 'we rock back and forth in unison', I always loved that.

I have my floor/hair fan pointing up from the base of the wedge, so it gets my hair flowing around like a Whitesnake video... That cancels out the silly aspect of it right? ....right?

Yep, the fan cancels the uncool part of the silly factor. It's silly to us but cool to the crowd!
I'm sure that I look like a big tool on stage. I prolly look like I'm trying to shake a turd loose from my trousers.  |

I probably do a ton that are silly... and I've done the foot on the wedge pose... those who said they haven't are either lying or never worked with a wedge... lol
