So kinda a different discussion. I often see alot of my favourite guitarists playing songs i love, embelishing them, and putting so much in theat the song looks like its on the verge of implosion. Consider many bands like Dillinger Escape Plan, Refused, The Mars Volta, At the drive in, Nirvana. The bands would on occasion prioritise "rock n roll" over the music or you could call it the the energy over music.
In bands I have in the past played I often found myself in some precarious situation in which the somewhat ignorant crowd stares at me saying "that was a bit... different." Its commonly especially uncommon in SA to find bands really pumping all energy into there show. When I say this I am going beyond the cliche "Power Slides" "on the knees solo" my most hated "synchronized jump" perfectly in time with a pause and hit in the music. I refer more to real out of control primal energy made b the music on the player when combined with the accompanying instruments.
Is there however in your consideration a point not to cross! For example Iggy Pop stabbing himself repeatedly with a broken bottle on stage, or the Dwarves wiping of feaces onthemself?

Check the example of a band I love maybe taking it to far in some eyes.
