I don't think it's a case of energy, it's more to do, I believe, with feeling he still needs to prove how good he is. It all stems from the issues I mentioned earlier. He's still not comfortable with his status in the music industry in terms of public praise.
There's nothing wrong with rolling around on stage, smashing guitars, simulating sex with it etc etc etc. But I don't recall it as part of his stage act in the past, in his younger days, so why now? Lindsey has an unfulfilled need and this is the physical manifestation of it.
Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, The Who and any other older rockers who still show off on stage is fine. But they have been doing it all their career, Lindsey hasn't. Something has triggered it and I think it's his need for public adulation. It always raised an eyebrow of mine when Stevie left the stage for "Come".
