GeminiRising79 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Not sure if anyone has noticed this before, but Alex has always had some unusual/bizarre facial expressions while playing guitar. Either plain unusual, or too intense at the wrong times. I would post some examples if I wasn't on my phone. Can anyone chime in on this observation?

The Analog Grownup Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Having the right expression takes just as much practice as playing the instrument, if not more ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeminiRising79 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Having the right exp<b></b>ression takes just as much practice as playing the instrument, if not more ;) Timing and the appropriate intensity is critical. But if the facial expression is incongruous, then it throws the whole concert off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 At the 2007 Reno show, Alex was shoving his nose into the guitar throughout "Hope". It was bizarre. The musical result was incredible, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarizeMe Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 http://images.artistdirect.com/Images/artd/uploads/_rush160_468.jpg I think this has become my favorite strange Alex facial expression There's a couple of photos on Ross Halfin's website that have more weird Alex faces but I'm not sure if I'm even allowed to post them here cause they're copyrighted...

Babycat Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 It's a question I've often wondered myself, not necessarily about Alex, but guitarists in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janie Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 LOL Alex being Alex. It doesn't bother me... like others have posted, he's feeling it!Yeah. I think Alex prides himself on being a goofball so sometimes maybe he exaggerates his facial expressions. But other times, he just makes a certain face and can't help it! I've certainly seen WAY funkier facial expressions than Alex's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
