I don't know why I am posting this.
My band is playing in the semi-finals of a local battle of the bands tonight and I am unusually nervous.

Just remember that people are there to see you. You must be, like, a ******* god or something.

That's what I tell myself before gigs. Never had a problem with stage fright since :D

I've found that receiving oral sex from the hottest chick in the audience backstage just before you go on tends to calm me down and put me in a happy place.

Give that a try.

Heck, that will work from even the UGLIEST chick right before the show . . . just don't let your bud's see it . . . and bring a large, brown paper bag . . . with a hole in the front . . .

Eat a banana or two before going on stage. Supposedly there is something in them that has a calming effect.

I agree that chicks may calm the nerves. My band played at the finals but there was more of a crowd to see this other band so it was inevitable that they would win. I was pretty nervous but once I got on stage it flowed naturally. Hopefully it goes as well for you. Good luck.
