nowerdays yes lots of bands play 4 chords dress silly and give there band a macho name

spins and tricks are good in moderation imagine seeing iron maiden live and they were all sat on stools like the eagles!!:rollno:
or imagine ramstien playing in jeans and a tshirts with no flame throwers:scowl:

stage pressence is a big part of a band ok you might not need to be able to backflip whilst spinning your guitar round your left foot landing perfectly on the drummers hi hats before ripping into a shredfest solo but...

a handfull of tricks used throughout the set makes you entertaining to watch as well as listen to it can be as simple as jumping up on an amp of as tech as a flying trapeze

besides my last antics onstage got me the attention of 5 groupies who followed me around till i signed there t!ts now that IS rock n roll:D:bassist::bassist:
