Double Bass Does thrashing around while you play do any good?

Perhaps this has no place here, but all of the players that I've met that move around like this, or look at other players like he does, have giant egos.
I don't know him personally, but I feel like watching him in other videos shows that he has a large ego. But that's just me, and I don't really intend to meet him, so whatever.

No one out there who could be useful by helping?
There are some videos of the Berlin Phil. Showing the bass section moving and alot.
Even some chamber recordering with some of those guys (Stoll, Zepperitz even Streicher in other medias) showing alot of movment, It helps to create certain sound effect but only while useing certain bow technic, does anybody now which bow technic it refers to?
In case that some one can give a clue, it could be nice.

Interesting video of Mr. Tuneh and some Guitar colleagues, watching him speaking teaches
about his character...
The Video issued on Facebook but this is the direct youtube link (otherwise facebook login is demanded):

An official announcement from Mr. Tuneh indicates about double bass world premiere soon, I'm curious to know what Mr. Tuneh is up to this time in the near future...
1st- It's good for the cardio-vascular
2nd -after a while the bass stand wears a hole in the floor which provides him an anchor every time he plays in that hall.
also the air flow through the f holes created by the movement facillatates in the............

I know that this thread has reached "dead fish" status by now but nowhere have I seen anyone ask or try and reason why Mr. Tuneh stands to play the way he does.
How tall is he? He reminds me of Danny de Vito, short and chubby.
How big is his bass? Against him it looks enormous. OK, it leans back a lot and has the end pin out a mile, yet he is bending forward so far from the waist with his bottom sticking out. Is this the only way that he can (a) support the bass and (b) reach the high notes given his (and the bass') size and shape? The price that he will probably ultimately pay for such posturing is neck, back and shoulder problems through reaching way back behind his head for lower notes with such a high left elbow.
Yes, I feel that the amount of gesturing and posturing, no matter how heart-felt they are, would be a major distraction for most audiences as well as musicians. There are lots of things that bother me about his playing, enough to seriously question the meaning and use of the word "virtuoso".
Comparisons are odious but compare the straight forward no-nonsense approach of Alberto Bocini playing Bottesini's Carnevale de Venezio variations on Youtube.

I can't believe we're still talking about this guy.
It's show biz! Look at some of the antics that conductors and classical pianists go through. Keeps the audience awake. Not to mention jazzers like Monk and Jarrett

Late to this party! I am a huge fan of holding still and of musicians holding still in general.
Though I like Jarrett.
At the very least it should be something we confront in ourselves and make a decision about like ANY other aspect of technique.
Mr. Tuneh plays great, though. And he uses the "right" bow!
