Is there any other singer/musician (besides Alexi) who is...

[Lanterns]

...famous for, erm, SPITTING all the time on stage???

Just askin...I think it's really fucking funny how fans and magazine ppl always write about it in reviews!

Probably spits to clear his throat out.

Getting a bubble in your throat while performing live would suck.

 

[Lanterns]

Hmm alright of course I understand, BUT why don't all (metal) vocalists do it?

 

[delt]

well, the intro of "i spit on your grave" uh... requires it

what would be really funny is if he (or someone else) slips on his loogy and falls off the stage hahahaha!!!

Alexi spits a lot for 2 reasons..1)He smokes 2)He drinks beer...both make you spit a lot.

A far as I remember I have seen James Hetfield(Metallica) spit on the stage many times. Probably they do it to clear their throat so that they dont fuck up while singing...

 

[BastrdDrmr]

Haha, funny you mention this... at the Detroit gig he spit all over me... I was right up next to the stage. It kinda sucked actually.

Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater is spitting very much. He pits in the air and sometimes it comes down to Petruccis head. Very disgusting..

 

[Maili Björklund]

The guitarist (or was it the singer?) of Naglfar. A friend of mine once came up with the idea of him and Alexi doing a spitting contest

 

[spellbound-by-the-bodom]

yeah its pretty disgusting but meh what can you do

 

[Lanterns]

@ Maili's idea

Yeah but he never drinks before playing, unless he becoming a slacker.

 

[Lanterns]

Btw, I also smoke like crazy but don't spit much...

 

[ladyjustice]

but I guess he spits to clear his throat while singing like someone else mentioned and not cause of smokin or drinking.

aeuheauh i was going to talk about portnoy, but i didn't know about petrucci's head thing

Actually, on his site, there's a FAQ answered by the man himself, and there's a question there like "Hey mike, why do you spit so much when you play?"

"Because my grandmother on my mother's side of the family was a llama"

The Milwaukee 7/28/00 videos I have,he's drinking all threw the show.
