Are you calm when playing a gig or do you act crazy and roll around on the floor, play with your teeth, behind your back, ect.

i go NUTS. get on the tables, go sliding across the dance floor on my knees, play behind my head,play slide with a beer bottle,ciggarette lighter, do ANYTHING to get people into it. knowing all the theory in the world wont get you anywhere when it comes to entertaining. ANY band can stand still and play,and that bores people to death. sometimes i sacrifice a bit of ability to entertain. but i can damn well bet you noone notices, they are raving about the show we are putting on . if YOU have fun then your audience wil have fun as well

ok my theory is (i havnt played live yet) is to do abit without looking gay.

sway side to side,

move the guitar back and forth.

lean back more (slash's favorite technique)

only when it gets, REALLY heavy, do you headbang

All you need to do is stick your tongue out...light yourself on fire and paint your face and you will play amazing and yours will be the best band in the world.

How wasted are you planning to look on stage? lol sounds like you're trying to hold in your burgers.

I believe this aswell. I'm not a good headbanger though. I'll figure something out, my room is so messy I have to wade through crap just to get to my amp, so practicing stage antics isn't happening quite yet.
