Carry your 1000 pedals in their own separate boxes and then plug them up for your 1/2 set opening for three bands.

Division - American metal that doesn't suck. Much. Even on MySpace, and Soundclick, too.

Standing there looking at the fretboard the WHOLE show.

Like wise, not getting into the music at all, the audience sometimes needs to see energy to get moving.

Singers/guitarists turning away from the crowd for no reason. Especially during solos.

Tuning instruments with the sound on. Even worse is two people tuning to each other with the sound on. This is summarised by:

Bands not having a tuning pedal.

One of my pet hates on smaller shows is guitarists/singers that insist on getting down on the floor with the crowd. It always comes off as a bit desperate, if your music/stageshow isn't connecting with them then you need to re-think things.

Don't make personal jokes with your mates in the crowd, there's other people in the audience as well.

If there's technical issues, for gods sake someone else in the band cover it. An impromptu solo/jam/joke/dance routine is all it takes. (and don't call your audience names to cover it )

'Excuse me while I adjust my pants, and dance the good time dance'

Band members getting totally obliterated prior to hitting the stage. Drugs and alcohol in moderation may help you get up there, but go too far and you're gonna play like crap (even though you hear yourself as being the next guitar god).

I am the mask you wear.
