Always have a few viagra in your leads case ready at gigs.
Then if your singer is acting an ass or you have one that is just up his own arse,
then simply mix in his food at half time,
then in the 2nd half wait for the fun to begin

That's right kids; do this in extreme public places instead.

And roofies in his pint

Viagra + roofies = ???

Be nice to other bands, promoters and sound techs. People who like you are more likely to work with you again and will try harder for you when they do.

Make sure the promoter knows what you're doing to promote the gig yourselves. I've gotten extra bookings based on the promo before the actual gig.

When the guitarist starts playing "All day and all the night" by the Kinks, don`t start playing "You really got me" also by the Kinks.

And that was for the bit you weren't even playing! Great clip.

Caught the back of my leg on the drum riser. Really hurt, rest of the band didn't even notice.

Don't load your gear into a pub with the lights off if the landlord has a large dog that isn't house trained......

Remember there is a change in So What

No matter how many songs get changed from the oringal key , resist the urge to get a 5 string

if you get the chance to gig Ace of Spades, embrace it, it's a lot of fun strumming chords

An old-school bristle shaving brush is the perfect tool for removing the dust and crud that gathers around the pick-ups, bridge, and under the strings on the headstock.

That is a seriously good tip. I was getting less than awesome results using an electric razor.

I was using a Bic disposable, but found the shaving gel left a residue.

[Dandelion]

That is why you must not shave with a ball point pen.

Make sure you turn up at the correct venue at the right time on the right night and that you've brought your bass with you.

And the necessary mains/jack leads...we have all done it...turned up to play but forgot the mains lead to the amp etc....
