Stage poses

[johnS]

OK, what are the coolest, most original, most ridiculous, and most cliched stage poses?

I'll get the ball rolling with an old cliche, the human pyramid, courtesy of the Scorps:



Bonus 80s points for the fedora, which is really a nice touch with the spandex.

damn, couldn't find a pic of the Journey video, but in the "Someday Love Will Find You" video it's replete with all type of MOR rock cliches. Air 'Everything' air keyboards, air drums, air guitar. Guy from Journey doing the O-face while singing falsetto. Drummer banging on 6 toms etc.

Anyone else notice that in metal they use alot of choreographed head banging? that's pretty cliche. How about the David Lee Roth jump pose, most 80s metallers would do that jump of the drum riser move.

Isn't that awesome?

I don't think it is yet, but I sure hope having a clown air guitaring next to you while you're shredding becomes the next live trend.

Also, I love the "why in the hell is there a clown next to me" look on Petrucci's face.

most ridiculous outside of the rock realm was the whole Madonna early 90s strike a pose pose:



RuPaul, En Vogue etc. etc. were doing that ad nauseum

I was there for that. That pic is missing the one bottom heavy blonde chick who got real funky and kept backing it up against ghostface and the assorted MC's on stage with him.
