what should a lead singer do....?!?!!?!?

Question

during a bridge or solo if they aren't playing an instrument. im in a rock group. our style is a mix of political punk and hardcore and pop-punk. our influences include Rise Against, Green Day, Sum 41, Minor Threat and such. so we have alot of intensity and alot of instumentals. as the lead singer, what should i be doing. i don't want to look like an idiot. i might also be playing rythmn guitar, but i stink so bad i probably won't. waht should i be doing when our guitarist or bassist struts their stuff? something provocative? or headbang? i have no clue. in live videos, they never show what the lead singer is doing.

Answer 1

It's their solo their time to shine so STFU & STFO you should be making yourself as inconspicuos as possible; unless you are someone famous then you can dance!

Answer 2

This is a question that has been haunting lead singers since the beginning of time.
My singer usually stays on stage and jams with the rest of us.
If you watch live videos/concert videos of the entire show, and not just a one song vido that Miscellaneous TV shows, then you will see what others are doing.

Bands I would recommend that you watch to see what great showmen (not just singers) do are:
Iron Maiden
Queensryche
Bon Jovi
Judas Priest
System of a Down
Mudvayne
GWAR
Ozzy

This should be a good enough list to get you started.

Let the lead guitarist, or whoever with the solo, have their moment in the sun. Interact with the crowd and give props to the band. It's the soloist's moment to shine, so let them, or they might get really pissed at you.
