Visual appearance of a rock or metal band.

Hilarious thread!!!!!!

Ur own style will cum with lot of experience and definitely not by copyin others.

Style should go hand in hand with good playing as well...But i think good playing definitely precedes over appearance and other factors any time...

I totally agree wid u mymusicmyguitar... For sure making gud music is above ol. These style things r secondary. Nd own style surly cm after a long experience... Bt 2 make a perfect show v need everythng perfect. Cuz simply perfect means perfect. If smthng is lacking dat means its nt perfect. Nd after d gud music these things comes in. Right nw or Sm other day v hv 2 talk abt these. Nd start 2 develop our own. Nd as olwayz d development process starts wid learning d already done work nd den adding our own ideas... Lyk whn u want 2 develop ur own guitar playing style as those grt players lyk jimi hendrix, vie hv their own playing style, u hv 2 start first frm learning scales, chords nd other techniques nd den after playing a lot u develop ur own. So ur particular appearance ll develop bt first u hv 2 start smwhere. So here v r talking abt dat smwhere. Guyz plz put here ur those ideas which giv us those starting points. Plz mention here wt u do whn u play live. I think most of u just dont stand lyk a statue ol d tym on d stage. Pour sm gud knwledge here... Thanx.

No.
It depends on your audience.
What you speak about may be true about blue or jazz audience (in general) in India.
The Rock, or rather the METCHUL crowd is comprised more of posers who wish to defy the herd (common public) by becoming a part of another herd (metchul crowd).

You have to look like a part of this metchul herd in order to gain acceptance.
Otherwise rotten tomatoes await you ... and of course topped with a generous dollop of BC / MC anthem.

Yeah i have witnessed this lot of times at many competetions wherein bands who have heavier sound mostly the metal heads have a huge fan following as compared to the ones who have much softer style...
Well this is ok if the metal bands are really good but i hate it when people still love it just for the hake of it coz its metal.... DISTORTION..

Thats real stupidity...people just dont understand music and do not respect musicians out here... No wonder why rock scene in India is still nowhere..Its all coz of all these posers and wannabe rockers.

I wud definitely wudnt want to pretend and perform for such stupid crowd.....

Its same everywhere in the world for every thing.
Ppl go to see live action just to be a part of the crowd.

They don't really care about what exactly is being performed.

Whether its a music concert or a sport ...
F1 race is the biggest example!

And after dis whole scene, besides dis, grt music is prepared nd performed. Bt bcoz v hv 2 play in front of dat crowd (besides showing dem d grt music dat dey dont undrstnd) v hv 2 entertain dem too... Cuz dis happning everywhere in d world. Dis nt d tym of mozart who play in house 4 few people who undrstand...

V cn show respect, who undrstnds our music nd v hv 2 entertain those, who dont...
If u r in music business. Othewise do wtever u want, its ur guitar, u choose whether 2 play it or nt. Nd i think v shouldn't care abt who undrstnds or who dont, v should enjoy our music nd let d others enjoy 2, Cuz if metallica think dat much, d band wouldnt b performing here or anywhere in d world.

@kripesh - seriously dude r u some Spiritual person?? :?

Actually there is only one reason why this thread is a waste.

Its because of the language used by Kripesh.
Kripesh, I am sure you would have passed the school, or at least still at school, learning English.
Please use that knowledge here also.

I am no good at english at all. But Alpha, really it's great that you understand what i want to say here. And as you told there is only single problem which is english. That simply means what i want to say here is not just a waste. Thank god, atleast there is someone who understands. Brother can't you just explain them in simple words, what i want to say here.

it doesnt matter what u perform or do
what does matter is what u know nd what u can

But dont u think that u r analysin or extending the topic a lot .... it just toooooo much??

The whole point is to BE URSELF. Coz if u r going to copy and change ur style just to make others happy..makes no sense at all.....yeah..observe and inculcate those that U SEEM RIGHT.....else be a slave of masses.....
