Listen, if bands are anything like they were when I was in them, there's a few things to remember:

* * *

Guitarists are a DIME A DOZEN! Everyone in the friggin' world wants to be one, so just get a new one.

Drummers are valuable because chances are they also come with their own rehearsal space! It could be their garage, basement, etc.

Choose an amp WITH WHEELS on it!! The last amp I got finally had wheels because every other one before it I had to lug up and down stairs and through the clubs very awkwardly. Not only is it embarrassing, you knock people over!

DON'T hire a bass player just because she's a girl! It doesn't mean she's any good (necessarily), it was a fad that started around 1993 as far as I know.

If you crack a cymbal around the dome, the stupid thing will eventually break the hell off completely. It's happened to me more than once. But, if you crack it from the outside leading in, duct tape it to last for months!

Never use a light pick. Even for guitar, they break all the time. Use Medium (if you must), but I prefer heavies.

Even in the coldest club, stage lights with make you sweat a lot and you won't be able to see most of the audience. If your hands were really cold before you got on, they will burn and you'll have trouble with your fret hand. Keep your hands especially warm for 30 min before you go on, if possible, otherwise your hand will stiffen up and you might not be able to play correctly.

Don't put in your advertisement for new members "Must have looks". WTF is up with that? Holy crap, and I've seen it more than once before too!

2B drumsticks are friggin' huge and will wear you down slightly more than some 7A jobs, but think, you'll be all that much louder to annoy your neighbors- and that's half of what being in a band is all about!

Monitors are your friends! If you can't hear the monitor, you might be in for a wild night (not in a good way). Especially true if you're the singer.

If you're the headliner you should have a soundcheck set up already, but if you're one of the openers you most likely will have to use the headliner's sound levels and etc, and you might sound like crap!

If you're looking to join a band and there's a flyer with 10 phone numbers to tear off and call them, and you REALLY want to be in the band, tear them all off! HAHA!

Try to protect your ears when you can with earplugs. If you're having troubles with tone while trying to sing because of the earplugs, you might want to only put in one of them (the one facing the most amps or whatever). Oh, and toilet paper DOESN'T DO SHIT to help you block out sound, unfortunately. (A lot of people do this anyhow, it's pretty funny)

Oh, and girls who carry extra picks in their wallets for you to use when you lose yours get a +2 to their "out of ten" scores, remember this!

Another tip: Wear black clothes, otherwise sweat patches will appear.
