This thread is fuckin five stars. I remember it when it first came around but forgot how funny it was. Straight classique!b,121b,121b,121I'm not mad at solo faces per se, but I think the degree of faciness has to equal the quality of the shred. If Kirk Hammett is ripping his solo on "Damage Inc." he can make any face he wants. But from what I've heard of John Mayer, his shred factor (or lack thereof) does not justify the craziness of his solo faces.
It's hard to tell sometimes when a reed player is getting the "solo face," because naturally their instrument is blocking the view. But here are some cats who couldn't hide it:b,121b,121b,121b,121b,121b,121Junior Walker made some krazy solo faces on the sax, but none of those pics are available on the Internet...the booklet that came with the Anthology album, IIRC, was full of solo-face pix of Junior...

font class="post"1b,121b,121b,121No, it shouldn't. Although i think the equivalent of a "solo face" for a reedist is moving around. That's as douchey as an unearned solo face. I don't mean just walking around the stage, but being overly theatrical and moving one's body around and shit. Microphones that are on stands typically prevent this, but you know dudes like Najee have clip-ons that allow them to prance around and be all lame.

As far as saxists, etc. go, the sound carries, anyway, so they can be heard when they desert the microphone...

Why did I think this was Nick Cage with a wig?
I JUST NOW noticed what his pops is doing in the background.
