Question

What do you like in a band when it comes to stage performance?

Answer 1

Movement, eye engagement, Acknowledge that the audience is there

Answer 2

Nothing more annoying than an emotionally detached band on stage, especially when you enjoy their music.

Answer 3

I know, I hate that, I went to a house show and the band was nothing like their music, it made them suck, threw the whole show off.

Answer 4

Personality, perhaps something signature for the band: a certain way of stage makeup, or something that becomes synonymous with the band. Front-man wise (in recent years) this could mean "The Lucker Stomp" (though quite a few people are known for doing this) or Alex Koehler's back bend and the fact that many a fan leave a Chelsea Grin concert saying "Oh my God, he drooled on me! This is so cool!".

I like bands that seem genuine in what they do, and I like it even more when this is reflected in their performances. I will admit though that I am not a fan of too-choreographed performances.

Answer 5

Acknowledgement. And audacity, as long as it doesn't go that far.

Answer 6

Peaches and cake
Lots and lots of peaches and cake

Answer 7

when it comes to a band they have to be involved with their fans, and they have to use their emotions so that we can connect with them on a certain level, they also have to be very persistent.

Answer 8

energy

Answer 9

Honestly, I love it when they try to engage in the crowd.
