Superstitious rituals?

[Broadstbully22]

What do you guys do before a gig, our do you have to have something, say something, have people on stage some way?

I put bobble heads on my amp, they dance, and clean my basses before. As a band we take a shot of black velvet and say a prayer. lol.

So what do you do?

 

[Rip Topaz]

I take a quick whizz.

 

[bassteban]

Make snarky comments on TB. Like this- why is this thread in basses? I'm think *misc* or *live performance*

 

[younggun]

I drink a Scotch or Irish whiskey...not superstitious but it makes me feel better.

 

[Broadstbully22]

Lol.

 

[bassteban]

Who are you lol'g at? I was DEAD serious, and Younggun may have a terrible drinking problem!

I like to tune.

 

[AtomicPunk]

I have an order I like to hook things up in and have 10 quiet minutes to tune silently and think about what I have to do.

Draw a pentagram in the center of the stage using all of the salt from the salt shakers at the bar, light some black candles at the five points of the pentagram, sacrifice a goat in the center of the pentagram, and we're pretty much good to go.

Yeah, my band plays surf music........

 

[MatticusMania]

Just make sure Im feeling good, tuned up, and ready to go. Make sure that pint glass is full.

Seems legit.

I used to play in a band with a drummer who had severe ocd. It would take him forever to do all these wierd rituals, touching things in a certain order and counting. It was kinda sad. Would take him a half hour.

My drummer takes a good 45 minutes, and that's the cocktail kit. In his defense, it's all legit(adjusting, tuning, etc- no ritualitic silliness), & he is WELL worth it.

After a broken neck on a new bass and one chipped tooth, I tie my shoes with a double knot. ALWAYS!!!

 

[Toastfuzz]

Shots of Jagermeister, anywhere from 1 to 6 depending on the gig

Hey at least he doesn't do it directly on the bar top, Judgey McJudgerson.
