Is there such a thing as a performance high for musicians? Or is it a myth? Music and editorial photographer Brandon Andersen shed some light on this question with his recent before-and-after series of musicians before and after they perform. None of them look too happy!
Granted, the size of the seven-musician sample is fairly small. Still, it’s interesting to see how every single one of them started out looking cool as a cat before the gig, only to emerge from their performance looking like they’ve had the wind beaten out of them or that they’re mad and ready to snap. The musicians were all part of the Vans Warped Tour.
Do we have any musicians among our readers who could share their experiences with us?

You should repeat this before/after project with some death metal musicians. George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher will deliver.

All bs. First photo is also different person, look at the shape of eyes and there spacing.
I wonder what kind of music they played, or what drugs they took. It does look funny - perhaps they should take up stand-up comedy.
Would love to do the same with a yoga practitioner before and after class!
This project is similar to the project of Nicolai Howalt "Boxer" http://www.nicolaihowalt.com/works_show_thumbs.php?boxer
So their hair gets messed up & sometimes they take off their sunglasses. Cool story, bro.
Bunch of shity hipsters and faggots!!! True rock'n'roll 4 ever!!! \m/
They're ok, have a look at Norman Watt-Roy before and after, puts these others to shame!
They're ok but have a look at Norman Watt-Roy before and after, puts these others to shame
Where's GG Allin? Before: totally clean. After: covered in p**s, s**t and blood!
Look totally exhausted and like Patricia said dehydrated from playing under the lights.
It looks like everyone of them is dehydrated. lights on stages, how long they play and with how much energy they expend. Not surprised.
