Stage left / Stage right?
This is only directed at those of us that play guitar live or have in the past. Bassists, drummers, and you freaks that can actually sing, all you guys fuck off
 Do you guys like to be on stage left or stage right most of the time? Stage left would be like where Petrucci is on stage for DT, stage right would be like where Jim Matheos is for Fates Warning. I'll do either, but I'm a big fan of stage left. I like being near the hi-hat of the drummer, so I can hear the front and backbeats & stay in time. Plus, I hear slightly better out of my right ear, so it's good for me to keep that ear turned toward the band. Also, being that I'm a lot of the time kinda 'directing' from my place, it's easy to turn to the bassist and/or drummer and key in on what they're doing without turning my whole body around. |

Another vote for stage left here too. I'll do either, but I prefer stage left. I tend to stand slightly side on facing right with my left foot forward when playing and I can see across the stage and the audience that way.

I actually end up doing a bit of both. I always run our little PA rig and monitor system for the band so in the shitty little places I usually play it all depends on what's handy. Since I end up taking most of the power outlets it all depends on where they're located.
As for preference I really don't care as long as I have enough room to move around and can see / hear everyone else. Whenever we have a sub bass player I end up being on the side where I can turn and he can see my fretboard. |

i used to be stage right, but recently i got forced into stage left and just stayed there in my other bands, i dont know why but i do find it quite comfortable having a 'side' i dont know why that is, its just nice to have an area thats yours on stage, i dunno quite odd really
 that said i do tend to walk arround alot whilst playing so i dont tend to stay over there on my own
Knights that say

While I do sing, I always like to have the bassist on stage right, as he's left handed so our headstocks are pointing away from each other. Helps to avoid clashes mid-song
