I was recently at a show where a pianist was show ponying. It pissed me off to no end. I'm all for people getting into the music or whatever, but she was overdoing it and she was forcing it.
You know how with a blowing instrument, the higher notes are harder, and you put on that scrunched face and everyone who sees it is like... woah... hard note to hit...
She was doing that face ON THE PIANO!
I'm not making fun of pianists at all, I have a great deal of respect for pianists, but it is just as easy to hit one key as it is to hit another. It isnt more of a struggle to hit a high note than it is to hit a low note.
Its one thing to perform, its another to be an a** about it.
END OF RANT!
Have you ever seen someone like this?
Edit:
Also, I forgot to mention, all her solos where totally preplanned and soooo cliche. She would "randomly" play little bits of other songs with this smug stuckup stupid grin on her face. By the end of her set, I wanted to kick her in the shins with steel capped army boots

Hmm, perhaps, she has perfect pitch and heard a dissonance that made her cringe? Or, maybe she had too much sugar before the performance. Was it her first time at a concert? Maybe she was nervous. Oh, who knows. Musicians are crazy like that. xp

I had seen her a couple of times over a couple of years at that festival thing. She has been stuckup every... single... time...

Christ...it's one thing to be a fab musician. It's another altogether to think you are as such. Even if you are...let your music speak for you, not your orgasmic facial expressions.
Euthanasia. That's what the show-ponies need.

I know a guy that does the faces cept he really mreally really really really GOOD! He played with my band for a while actually but he wasnt very dependable and he has the ability to get waaaay better gigs than with my band.
I just laugh at people that do faces like that when they have luke warm solo's. This kinda reminds me of the thing with this piano player i saw that would move his finger in the ivories like he was able to do vibrato or something that was quite amusing.

As far as I'm concerned, if they can back that look up with the music they're making, I don't care. If that's what they feel at that moment, let them feel it. However, I've seen the other side. I remember seeing this one sax player at the Berklee Jazz festival who was swinging his horn around in a soulful manner and putting a ton of force into his playing, but really made no attempt at straying from very very simple harmony. In fact, I don't believe he used a leading tone ONCE in his solo. That is annoying.

How retarded. I know people that do that sort of thing on the trumpet. We played an imrpov solo song to La Bamba... and this guy started playing a march. It was as funny as hell, but it wasn't a very good music thing to do. Oh well... being a jazz pianist myself, I probably WOULD have kicked her in the shin with a steel-toed boot if I had the chance.
