She puts every little once on energy she has into every performance and it shows. I like her style and her voice is super-unique. Bravo.

Thats right, OLD Gwen Stefani, the girl who used to do one-handed push ups on stage and wasn't afraid of being "Just a Girl." I used to love her over-done make-up, cheesy smile, and hyperactive stage presence. So this is for Gwen Stefani...in remeraberance.

Oh wow, the mesh, the butterfly wings, the putting cigarettes out on the guitarist's tongue. This guys demanRAB interaction, and gets kicks out of insulting the audience. I have never had more fun at any show in my life. I like watching people that have fun on the stage, and he really enjoys himself.
 
Thought I would pick this back up and try and finish it. And in tune with this week's theme I'll pick back up at:

10:Jerry Lee Lewis
One of the original really eccentric performers. He put on a really raw performance.

I'll do like one or two of these a day, feel free to suggest artists.
 
I hope Wayne Coyne from Flaming Lips makes this list, he'd be right up near the top of mine.

Absolutely agree with Amanda Palmer by the way. Dresden Dolls are amazing live.
 
Jimmy Urine FTW. MSI in general are top notch live and it would be a blast to go to a show, especially if they play some of their older, more hyperactive material.

He's such an adorable nerd. But he's really interactive with the audience and I think he has more fun at shows than the crowd does.
 
It's a feminism thing. :/

And I fixed it. Looking back, it's not really a "hook" to the thread and was actually fairly inappropriate and irrelevant to her performance.

9:Tony Kakko

He's charming, charismatic, and he has better hair than me! He points and smiles and winks at the crowd. I was taking a video of him and he gave me the finger. But it was all in jest, he's one of my absolute favorite people to see live.
 
I agree. Were they at the festival you have just been to? Did they play all or most of Rust In Peace? I didnt know they were going to do that so i was one happy bunny.
