amon amarth headbang ?!

[Ghaldez]

hehe i saw amon amarth a few times on concerts or at the internet
but i ask me everytime is it not dangerous for the neck i mean its the heaviest type of headbanging i ever saw i do it too but i think when you do it everyday your neck will break anytime or what?!

 

[Tyra]

Yeah, it can be dangerous (this particular old lady has lasting damage to her neck, so I should know), but who cares??

 

[Ghaldez]

yeah my neck sometimes makes a cratchy sound ^^

Amon Amarth is truly a band where you can break your neck, but i try to equalize it with singing.^^

Hey, Birkenwerder, i'm living in Hönow. ;-)

headbanging is like anything else, if you aren't used to it and try too hard, you get hurt. build up the neck muscles. Look at corpsegrinder, his neck is thicker than his head.

 

[Celtik Militia]

yeah hehe.
but for that headbanging turning your head like mad, the most amazing band i've seen doing that is Zyklon. I thought their heads would suddenly fly off.

I would watch your ears before your neck .... after years of concerts and loud music, I can already tell that my ears have become more sensitive to high pitch noises. (to the point where sometimes I have to walk out of places).

I've noticed that the most impressive headbangers do it in a way that doesn't snap their necks around, windmills are good like that, as well as the "bass player's favourite," the side-to-side headbang.

 

[Lodbrokk]

you just need to warm-up your neck muscles before if you wanna avoid immobility day after

 

[Ghaldez]

side to side is hurting after a while anyway i concentrate on playing gutair when i'm on stage but when your listener its funny a synchron windmill with 2 friends ^ ^

 

[Fimbul-Winter]

Stupid questions^^
Who to hell cares about....???

 

[Ghaldez]

don't know i started this thread when i was bored ^^

 

[Ryan VH]

if i break my neck from headbanging to amon amarth then its worth it. its gona be hard to headbang for me though. i just had shoulder surgery friday and yeah it hurts like a bitch

 

[Anglorfin]

I've gotten pretty good at reducing the damage done to my neck after shows. The trick is mixing it up. Stop for a few second to catch your breathe and yell or something, then get back to it. Also don't make it just a head movement. Throwing your torso in there means that you are actually moving your head with your core muscles and not just your weaker neck muscles. It still hurts after a while though.

yeah hehe.

Can you point me to a video clip if there is one? I've never seen those guys perform.

 

[Ikki]

Actually he is right, zyklon guys were impresive headbangers, and the other day i went to see Emperor and the Zyklon guy who plays there also did the headbang like non stop for a full song and i was scared thinking that he might have a cyborg neck or anything like that...
for the record: i guess it´s all a matter of training

 

[Pessimism]

Someone test out the new youtube code!

 

[Goolash]

go see cannibal corpse, the bassist and lead singer are the best headbangers ever.

 

[Ghaldez]

hehe if you mean i'Ve never saw them ^ ^

 

[Socom]

I got used to neckache with time
