Then what are you expressing when you play? Or what image do you portray? For me it can range from joy to sadness (depending on the song)

For me a nice aggressive rock song needs aggressive tones from everyone in the band. Coming to mind I love STP no. 4 for overall "tone matching" the songs....makes me believe in the music. |

This is especially the case if I'm singing. When things are flailing about and the band isn't locked in I'm expressing frustration and annoyance.

If I've had a bad day at the hotel, I've been known to come home and play Blue Oyster Cult's "Godzilla" (love that bass line!) four or five times, all the while imagining the "Big G" stomping on the cars that belong to the guests at the hotel who have made my day miserable, for example.
