Looking for more? ok, increase the volume (feedback is your best friend (next to distortion)), over-extend your strap, bend strings and make faces accordingly, split jump and stage dive (kitchen table?), order some spandex (random leggings won't do), throw some picks, now repeat.

;

If it still sounds off, record it!, you sure got some original content and a potential hit! Or just keep reading, all though reading will not make you a rock star! or maybe so?! :-)
