Stage Moves!!!
Hello everyone!
I would like some tips on stage moves,
I'm performing Sunshine of your love by cream and I don't want to just stand there playing the song.
I just want some ideas because, if not, I'll end up making Vai's faces and falling down in the middle of the solo from the rush!

I think my favourite ever stage move was when Krist Novoselic, (probably not the correct spelling) from Nirvana threw his bass in the air on a live MTV show. The catch didn't quite go to plan, unless he actually meant to knock himself senseless!

You could always follow Bill Wyman the bass player with the Rolling Stones, he just stood there and stared out into the crowd I can't remember his expression even changing, the girls loved him though I suppose he became a bit of an enigma, Keith Richards doesn't move around that much mind you with someone like Mick Jagger as lead singer I don't suppose there's a lot of room left on the stage for anyone else

If you want classic, sophisticated and not phony look at me I'm a rock star stage moves, do a youtube on Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Mike Campbell, as well a Tom himself are masters of thoughtful stage presence.
Genuine.

Eric was fairly understated in playing compared to the rest of the band (or the crowd!):
YouTube - Cream - Sunshine of Your Love
you could always do a Ritchie with his exploding amplifier, which nearly killed him at the California Jam:
YouTube - Ritchie Blackmore
well, it would keep the crowd on their toes!

I dunno about that - here's a video of Keef pulling a Major "stage move"!  :

 You sound like me. I tried a stage move once and threw out a hip.
