In light of the recent highlighted ‘health risks’ of headbanging, Nightwish and ReVamp frontwoman Floor Jansen has taken to an interview to answer questions asked by South American fans on the ReVamp tour.

Floor gives some tips on how to stay ‘healthy’ during headbanging:

“I think every physiotherapist will tell you that it’s not a very good idea, and there are many musicians in the metal scene who have suffered severe damage — like the guitar player from Iced Earth, Jon Schaffer, had severe neck problems due to headbanging. So neck pain, of course, is heavy metal and cool, but, of course, it’s dangerous. I personally don’t suffer from it all that much anymore. Usually when we do the first show after a break, then I feel it again, but other than that, I usually don’t feel bothered.”

“If you spin it more making the whiplash move that really helps. So that’s all I can say. Be careful with it. Maybe even warm up. And don’t do this too much; really turn, so you don’t make the whiplash move.”
