Reader Request – Epic Rock Star Moves
November 21st, 2007 - by Eddie
Thanksgiving is upon us and I’m looking forward to an entire day of eating (remember, if you starve yourself till dinner, you can’t eat as much), football games and an epic Guitar Hero III tournament.
Oh that’s right. I’m a dick. I got a Nintendo Wii and Guitar Hero III a couple of weeks ago and have been obsessed ever since.
The game has also resurrected my undying love for epic rock star moves, namely the finger point into the crowd, the fist in the air, playing your guitar in between your legs with boxer shorts on.
All of this happens in my living room now as I press three color-coded buttons to produce songs from The Rolling Stones, Weezer and Foghat.
Epic rock moves have been with us since biblical times and have only grown since then.
For me, whenever Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin”” comes on and it gets to the part where Steve Perry sings “Somewhere in the niiiiiiiggghhhhhtt!” I point to the sky and wail. Somehow, I know Jesus is pointing back at me and saying “Right on brother.”
I know you have them. So when do you break out the epic rock move and during what song?
And BTW: Happy Thanksgiving, from all of us at 52 Shows and William S. Burroughs.
