Should musicians move while they play music?

porkmarras · 10.10.2006, 01:49 PM

I reckon the less is better but then that's just me.

HaydenAsche · 10.10.2006, 02:05 PM

Have you seen At The Drive-in? They move flawlessly.

Along with Norma Jean and mewithoutYou.

No, they should sit down and bore the fuck out of the audience.

Пятхъдесят Шест · 10.10.2006, 02:13 PM

What if they move like G P-O?

I should post the video via You Tube, but I won't, because I don't feel like it!

!@#$%! · 10.10.2006, 02:16 PM

ha ha ha, a funny thread

should they? could they? would they?

porkmarras · 10.10.2006, 02:17 PM

No,not even thinking of breathing.

Пятхъдесят Шест · 10.10.2006, 02:17 PM

They should not, could not, would not with a duck.

porkmarras · 10.10.2006, 02:18 PM

There are excepetions but they all live in my mind and not yours.

Пятхъдесят Шест · 10.10.2006, 02:19 PM

We can fix that.

Open your mind! Lets see the goods.

atari 2600 · 10.10.2006, 02:19 PM

Yes, unless they are The Velvet Underground.

wax · 10.10.2006, 02:22 PM

if the music is really really good, ill excuse them for being boring cunts on stage.

touch me i'm sick · 10.10.2006, 02:25 PM

only if they're not stupid and cliched about it.

cliched meaning:
- jumping unesecarily on stage

sonicl · 10.10.2006, 02:33 PM

Can you imagine a stationary Julian Cope? Or Slash from G'n'R?

porkmarras · 10.10.2006, 02:35 PM

Don't care much for Slash but Cope is an exception

Trasher02 · 10.10.2006, 02:36 PM

Moving: Yes.
Jumping: No.

Bands who stand still all of the time are fucking boring.

Rob Instigator · 10.10.2006, 02:37 PM

c is great but whe the music is supposed to be energetic and cathartic (a la Pixies) and they stand around bored (a la reunion pixies) then it sucks shit.

the most kinetic band I ever got to see was archers of loaf.

I didn't find the Pixies reunion boring. The Pixies were never big movers. All of the energy is in Frank Black's face.

Glice · 10.10.2006, 03:21 PM

I think a band should concentrate on not being shite before they think about moving. However, if they forgoe the not being shite stage, then bouncing around like lunatics is always fun - anyone see Ash/ Symposium/ Idlewild in the early days? A handful of ok pop songs between them, fantastic bouncing and making knobs of themselves.

Also, hardcore bands should always move. Raised Fist = the ideal.
