Then watch out, because these ten blunders might just get you kicked out of the band again.<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">1. Always enforce heavy criticism! And it\u2019s best right after they play you a new song for the very first time. That\u2019s the way to\u00a0show your commitment!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">2. Bring non-alcoholic beer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">3. Propose, immediately after your first rehearsal together, a whole new\u00a0plan for a\u00a0rehearsal space makeover.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">4. Did your pedal run out of batteries? No worries, just help yourself to the other devices without asking!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">5. Always keep your amp dialed full blast!\u00a0 After all you need to be able to demonstrate your skills!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">6. Of course everyone understands that you\u2019re short on cash. So naturally, you\u2019re exempt from contributing to next month\u2019s rehearsal space rent or any other expenses for that matter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">7. At the beginning of each rehearsal make sure to sit yourself on the drums and show off your non-drummer skills.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">8. Check your phone every two minutes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">9. Bring your boy\/girlfriend and ask after each song whether your performance was even better than the last.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">10. Make sure to regularly turn up late for rehearsals because: A true rockstar is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sound familiar?
