Their individual stage presence & its changes over the years

[Dick Brucinson]

What changes have you noticed over the years in terms of their individual stage presence, acting and performance wise? Bruce for example isn't running around anymore like he did when he was in his 20s or 30s, of course, still very agile tho, but Steves activity hasn't changed much over the years it seems. (Seems as if he doesn't place his foot on top of the monitors that often as he did in the past.) Any change of stage habits over the years that come to your mind?

I remember thinking that Adrian looked more reserved on the Rock in Rio DVD. He definitely loosened up over the years.

True! And Janick calmed down a bit, which I think is nice. When he was new, his dancing & prancing really annoyed me, but it got better. (Not in terms of quality, but quantity.)

Although Adrian was quite chilled on Rock in Rio, I have to shout out his vertical guitar pose during the pre-chorus to Sign of the Cross!

Bruce doesnt rise his left arm constantly like in the early 80s. Was a bit weird. I always will say it he is best singer since 1992 than the golden era.

Nicko has strongly reduced his stage presence lately.

I saw a week ago his last show at sao paulo. Very good show. But he has problems,at the end of the show steve helps to throw a drumstick to the audience dont know if he wanted to do it or nicko was too tired to throw it

I will give that a watch later tonight.

Steve and Janick barely move now compared to even five years ago. The new stage being much narrower probably doesn’t help.

Maybe Janick started doing Aerobics. Maybe he really likes Aerobics to the point that he will not waste precious energy on stage. He needs that for the post show workout.

 

[BludBrutha]

Maybe he was doing aerobics instead of going to the documentary premiere.

 

[Yax]

Definitely maybe.

I think Adrian had to re grow into the role after 1999. Go back to around then and Janick was overall a bit more dominant both on stage and also in interviews. From about 2003 I felt Adrian had re-imposed himself … not that it’s a competition I should add

Dave stopped running as early as in the late Blaze years, it seems.
