Although that last statement is true, I do greatly enjoy breating fire and kicking people in the head. To be more on the serious side, in my metal band I headbang and jump around. In my church band, however, swaying is all I can get away with before the pastor eats me.

I'm a old & ugly guy, it's best I don't draw attention to myself!;)

I'm old and ugly too! (just how many of us are there on this forum?). Still, I move around the most of all the old and ugly guys in the band. My luck is that I have a stunning blonde vocalist next to me to draw away attention. I like her for this, in fact I like her for many more things (she is my wife ;) )
 
Usually headbang like a dufus metalhead, which I pretty much am. :D

Gotta start working out again, and stretching... I'm afraid that I'll fracture my neck somehow without any conditioning. If I just had a neck like Henry Rollins'... I could break bricks with it.
 
while I don't have by bass with me...I do breath fire.

I do this involuntary hip-rocking/humping motion to the beat, well its more like my whole upper body just rocks back and fourth (I also sorta find it works like a subconsious metrinome) when I sing/play. Its funny because Ive been told I look like a pop star dancing to some metal song, lol.:hyper:
