Sometimes I'm guilty of that, but if I don't talk to anyone before the set, it's because I'm trying to save my voice (I'm also the singer)

And dang it, I was really hoping that the Cowboys wouldn't score. Dirty cheaters....
So while I'm at it, I'm going to put a pretty much random number down and say
#20, Bands that root for teams other than the Packers.

This is refering to your average original show with 3-4 bands playing per night. | There are so many shows where my band was the headliner and the other bands think that there amazing and play for an hour and a half, everyone hates it and leaves when my band goes on the place is empty

I refer to these bands as amateurs. If you as good as you think, you wouldn't be playing this dump and you would know about schedules.
And, I refuse to wear pants onstage. shorts only!

And the bands that plump up their calender by listing private gigs, they must think people look at the web site to see if a band is available for a date before calling. Quote:

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2003 Location: Cadillac, MI | | There are gigs where having a stand and music in front of you is appropriate, but nothing screams "unprofessional" to me more than watching a band where the lead vocalist (or any other band member) has his or her head buried in a music stand reading lyrics or parts instead of connecting with the crowd.

Endorsements of political candidates on band websites. I want to hear you play, not blather about who you vote for.

|  | I'm gonna love and tolerate the **** out of you! | | Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Memphis/Knoxville TN | | | You know, I don`t see the problem with bands listing their private gigs on their website. It says(to possible employers) that they are a legitimate band that are worth the money they ask for and that they are available to play for private functions. IMHO, it`d be stupid for a band not to include it on their website. |

Just came in from mowing the yard, or just got out of bed.

1) Go into "jam" mode for what seems like a half hour leaving you no discreet place to step out.
2) The guy you're sitting in for doesn't come right back, and you can see him sitting having a drink and chatting.
