You may notice the guitarist, Billy Zoom, plays with his legs spread farapart; he adopted that stance because in earlier bands he played with, his very tall height made him tower over shorter band mates, leading sometimes to conflicts with the 'star' members who thought he was stealing the spotlight from them, so he tried to 'shorten' himself visually...
The problems with band member heights actually led to one band altering their name; The Small Faces got their name because the members were all a bit on the short side; when new band members Ron Wood and Rod Stewart, who are both tall, joined the band, the "Small" was dropped from their name...
