You've got a lot of really stuff here. Your third image is outstanding. Perhaps in the future you could number them. You have cropped quite a few guitar headstocks, but no worse than most of us. So, how did you get to use a camera on such high priced talent? :-)

James some nice shots there; how much fun are Electric Eel Shock as a band and to shoot? In 20+ years of seeing live bands I have never seen a guitarist put his guitar in his mouth like the guy from EES does.

Dwight, I assume you are referring to Alice Cooper as the "high priced talent"; he wasn't so high priced when he was last in Australia. He played some club and regional shows and was flying on a budget airline (according to their in flight magazine).

Hard to comment on so many photos. Some good stuff in there though - especially number 3 and number 5. What lens did you use on 5?

hi guys thank you for compliments, i know its annoying when u miss a lil of the guitar out out, so i guess im learning still lol.
basically i went to alot of concerts of alice even going to different countries to see him (alright i know you now think im sad lol) and basically i managed to meet Ryan Roxie a hile back and then i got his e-mail and when the time came and i started to really get into live photography i asked cheekaly for a photo pass, and sent him some pics i took from local gigs etc (which looking back on now are nothing special) and got one out of luck lol, (and backstage) and then i sent Ryan some pictures i shot, and it carried on from there, and now i am kinda friends with Damon and got my last set of passes from him, and am just about to send him a cd of pictures to say thanks!
They are a very nice bunch of guys, that'l do there best to help you out!
Cheers once again
