I've always been able to mosh my way through anything I can play. I can talk whilst playing anything, too.

When I had long hair, I used to headbang while playing. I've had short hair for about 9 years now and I still throwdown at shows. :hbang:

What was that one at an old ballroom or something where you did your best impression of a helicopter trying to take off? Looked like it was shot on a dodgey camcorder from the top left of the venue.

I used to be a bass player for 4 years in a band, we splitted some months ago. Well, I realised I can do whatever I want with my body while playing any tune with a bass, headbanging included, but I'm pretty static when I play guitar. Strange, isn't it?

Hmmm.... not really, wish I could though.

I have motion sickness and even when I´m not playing guitar I feel dizzy really fast... :noway:

Never tried it cause it just looks a bit silly, anything more than the James Hetfield style nodding along just looks a bit daft imo. Sorry Meshuggah, I love your music but your daft headbanging antics are awful! :lol:

i think you could play a bass while blindfolded and lefty while headbanging and still able to play good, sorry bassers but unless you play jazz nothing in that instrument really impress' me. its just "bum bum bah dum, bum bum"

I can, but I'm not into the headbanging for the sake of headbanging thing...

If you WANT to headbang because you're into the music then that's cool, but forcing it is just kinda ridiculous.

Sorry thats just ridiculous. If we aren't talking impressive jazz bassists, then listen to Billy Sheehan, Mark King, Bakithi Kumalo, Stuart Hamm, Victor Wooten, Michael Manring, Juan Alredte (Racer X), Sean Malone and do it while head banging. Oh wait, try playing like that, full stop. Do you live under a rock? :lol:
