Why oh why do us guitar players have to...

I learned how to pull guitar faces way before I learned how to play guitar.

I hope you're American, otherwise, that t-shirt...

It's a NOFX/fat wreck chords tee ;)

Well, the motto sort of applies to everyone these days, doesn't it? I'm Danish, and he's certainly not MY president. You're a brit, and he's not your president either, and thankfully the Yanks have been able to say the same for the past couple of years.

But that said, let's just forget about the guy and get on with it.

Well, yes. But my point was that I always think it's a bit of an odd slogan to bear if you aren't American, (or at least an American domicile with the franchise) where it has some political significance, everywhere else it's fairly meaningless, obviously he's not our president.

Don't you get it, nfe? They're sticking it to The Man!  :lol:

[Dmoney]

Not My 'Man'!

[nfe]

Their man, not The man.

only ever met or seen one guitarist who doesn't make a face but he's weird..no gurning, no tongue out, no expression at all

That's just.... Wrong. He must be a robot, or some sort of lovecraftian being from the shadow dimension.

even the same on bass and drums....yet almost bites tongue off doing diy

I always found Wilko Johnson quite scary, with that intense stare and stiff, jerky movements.  Seems like a nice bloke when you see him interviewed though.

That's me most of the time :lol: Can't ever really "get into it" enough to start pulling faces and stuff. Bit different when playing drums though, much easier to let loose, maybe because I find it harder whereas most of the guitar I'd be playing live/in a band is a piece of piss.

I don't generally sport many daft facial expressions when I'm playing, I do get to play in a band with this handsome devil, though:
