the title of this video sounds kinda wrong...

"How to Enjoy Yourself on Stage"

NO!! NOT IN FRONT OF EVERYONE!!!

[yojunkzfaded]

That didnt tell me how to enjoy myself.

[ray77754]

Yea! this is so true and a lot of people over look this

[Lentsku]

This is so true always when I discover a new band or song I always look a live video of them/it and see what it sounds like

@taylorbortnerathing You were explicitly talking about the music and NOT the performance. That's what confused me. You wrote: "i'm talking about FEELING THE MUSIC and just BEING NATURAL while you play it." If you are referring to performance, then you weren't being clear at all. In fact, I read through all of your posts and you didn't ever mention "performance". Instead of making a point, you tell me to go watch videos. It really sounds like you don't have a point...or a clue.

@evikjames well, i'm referring to the aspects of the performance and not the music, so your whole point of "saying how music should be" is just stupid.

i don't feel like i can make my point any clearer really, so i'm going to say this: watch live videos of these bands: at the drive-in, built to spill, neutral milk hotel, the mars volta, muse, and tool. the first four bands have great (though different) types of stage presence, while the last two have bad stage presence. hopefully you'll see why

[evikjames]

@taylorbortnerathing It may or may not be that I am dense, but it probably just means that you aren't really making your point clearly. You still didn't answer the question what "fake" is. Were you avoiding the question because you don't know?

When someone says something like "rock music is supposed to be....", you kind of lose me. There isn't a handbook on what rock is or isn't supposed to be. Generally, good music breaks rules not follows them, especially rock.

@evikjames another thing: i'm talking about FEELING THE MUSIC and just BEING NATURAL while you play it. if you are at band practice and you're like "alright everyone, when the chorus hits here we're all going to jump!! we're going to look so bad ass!" then that is not really feeling the music, that's just trying to appeal to the audience. but hey, whatever. it seems like you see nothing wrong with being a crowd pleaser, so just keep at it. go join a theatre production or a pop group or something

@evikjames jesus you're dense man. i didn't say that people don't like choreography, in fact i said that people DO like choreography. and you mentioned entirely pop artists. the beatles probably didn't choreograph their performances, and while MJ and gaga definitely do/did, those people are pop entertainers, and they're some of the better ones. but i was referring to "rock music artists", where the medium of live performance is supposed to be messy, spontaneous, honest, and full of feeling.
