Take everything I do, and reverse it. Especially all the parts about screaming at your bandmates onstage.

being able to sing/scream and control the stage/crowd.
yeh, and not screaming at your bandmates onstage e.g:
Alex (in his band):"pagie, you fudd!" *
Pagie (in ayearbehind): "Rich ya fudd, yer playing it too fast!!!"

see, you have taught him well.

*possibly not exact words*

sorry got a bit off topic at the end there.

talent, confidence and presence

Tommy Sports · 31st August 2003, 11:21 AM

confidence is the main thing and i like singers who play around with their vocals live and improvise a little bit.

fooling the audience into believing its your bassists birthday then have them sing to him.

be yourself. keep in mind that your probably going to be the main focus. if your not having fun then nobody will (?).

Charisma, talent , and energy ( mentally more than phsyically)

Starscream · 31st August 2003, 03:39 PM

apart from the ability to sing

i would say the loss of self respect, the ability to laugh at urself and not care wot others thing, goin mental and good banter

Ross · 31st August 2003, 03:45 PM

Good banter and good stage presence. Also, being able to carry the band when they are playing crap tends to help
