I find myself with my eyes closed far too often as well. Or staring just above the crowd or at the lights.. Which I *try* to avoid.. Not so much though. I tend to pay attention to singing more. There's some stuff we do.. that I don't think I've ever used the same exact vocal melody on more than once or twice. Also, some o' the old irish shite we do has like... 7 or 8 verses sometimes.. s'alot goin' on, an' tellin' the story is kinda more important to me.

you also ten to rock it straight metal at times as well.

I'm just scanning the scene for potential back-stage betties.

good question...I spend about 30% thinking about the song and the rest is a bunch of BS...the last time on stage I remember thinking what time I had to pick my son up from the babysitter and if I would have enough time to do a couple loads of laundry and the dishes. I also say little one liners to hot chicks in the crowd...plus I ask for a drink at least twice a set for a "social."
