Antics de la Live Show V.1
AddThis Social Bookmark Button
In this, the first installment of Antics de la Live Show, we'll be discussing how to interact with your audience and making your shows memorable. Every artist must perform as if it were his/her/their last show. The emanation of positive energy will engage your audience and keep them wanting more, unless of course your bassist falls over inebriated in the style of Duff MacKagan. More on that later...Upon greeting one's audience, one might say, "Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen...we're not Zoopheliacs, but tonight we're going to make an exception!"Most people won't be sober enough to understand what you say, some will take offense, but most will choke on their drink from being blind sided by humour.
 
Back to that Duff MacKagan thing...
 
In an interview with Matt Sorum, he was describing for the interviewer a gig with GNR in which he had his head down doing his percussive thing only to be shocked from his entranced musical state to a sound not unlike two buses colliding at 45 mph. He looked up to find that Duff had passed out drunk and fallen on his bass. Cagey ol' rockers.
