Imagine ... Are already in local hospitals and op-station waiting for the removal of your pesky plant breakage. Wait and wait in side splitting agony while your doctor chats with the nurses, gathering phone numbers from those hot. After what seems like forever, you will prepare and launch the operation. What should have completed 20 minutes, were in two hours.

He jokes and talks about his cherry red Ferrari, while you're lying unconscious withBelly ripped open. Finally, we have sewn and ready for recovery, but the surgeon and the anesthesiologist's super crack with a debate on the science of golf games and seem to have forgotten, you're stuck helplessly between them, with tubes in every orifice. If this is your experience, you freak out, sue the hospital and your hot-shot doc would follow pans for cleaning at the hospital convalescence state.

Unfortunately, as our hunting rock doc, manyMusicians feel that the consequences of their actions are irrelevant and treat their audience with the same apathetic does not take into account that the above-referred doctor treated his patients with bad. These selfish creative late for gigs, set up at their own leisure (about the same pace that the turtle than 100 years, would run the Boston Marathon), so long playing a set, as they want (a regardless of their designated record time) and break / clear the stagethey please with regard to little or nothing for the planning of the club.

However, if you ask one of these artists, it seems that they believe their music career ... Career and should be treated with the same importance and professionalism, if you have established a budding rock star or a surgeon? It should, but often is not, and the bands will find their reputation tarnished with labels like: slow, lazy and irresponsible, because, obviously, do not exhaust theirOn (and off) in a timely manner. Get branded as a sloppy bow and watch the music industry people jump ship faster than the rich ladies on the Titanic.

Here are some tips to help you get up, get up and down in a timely and professional impress the powers-that-and fans want to leave more:

1.) Having everything before setting Set Up --- It's not that you find only five minutes before playing. Concerts arebooked days, weeks or months in advance, so there's no reason not to be well informed and equipped prior to your arrival and furnished. guitars and drums should be set, drum kits and guitar pedals set, and dialed the number and song lists printed and distributed, so all the time is minimal.

Once the stage is set, a professional band will only play their equipment on stage, close, and some last minute tweaks before they're ready to rock and roll.Rocker old turtle, but the road will throw down the cases on stage and then forced to friends, fans and the music industry twiddle their thumbs waiting, while every piece of gear is pulled out, unwrapped, wiped out, screwed in place and the place, slowly but surely. In truth, it's so interesting how little paint dry without the guilty pleasure of having high from smoking.

2.) Soundcheck / Line of Control is not a mini concert --- You can view your soundgun, because the concert was not before the concert, but you have friends, drag the sound check an hour and a half waiting for the bands outside the door of your personal equipment and sound control are aligned. The same applies for the review. You may be surprised to know that the public is not at all happy to work to sit and listen to you your live sound in front of their eyes and their time. Save the lengthy tune-up and control the completion of the video-tape.Get your levels get to a fast and rockin '!

3.) Do you intend to set the time for your set --- The key is set to close the preparatory work is under way before the night of the concert. Many artists believe that more goes on stage over the audience up to speed, but you are saying something "too well". Organize your set, time and time again and make sure that in few minutes with your nameSet list now. Eardrums as passive-aggressive little trick in two or three extra songs at the end of the sentence or lure your friends in shouting for an encore only serves to infuriate the people in good health and to confuse the public and broader development and chat among yourselves and the audience between songs just stupid. The closer your set is professionally sound in the ears of the public and happier that will make your bookers forOrganizers and players club.

4.) Tear Down should be the fastest of all --- If you think your organization has been rapid, the band should be shot down quickly in comparison. Much time is wasted every night in a place of music as musicians dawdle after the set, drinking and chatting with friends, and his gait is placed on stage so that the artist always saliva. Get your tools, moving from the stage, and take it outside or in the greenRoom. There you can pack your equipment, you clean out and pack away into cases and by car. Then it's time to tip a few beers and gave the masses until closing time, without interrupting the flow of the evening.

Imagine ... This is a local club waiting to see an act from the label that you explore. Wait and wait for more more boredom and drinking, while the band you've been to see him chatting with women in the room, so that T-shirtand CDs, which are really hot. After what seems like forever, the band takes the stage and begins their set. How should a presentation of 30 minutes was turned into an hour or more, when the band plays a loose, and vote often remain in standing to complain over the sound of that cry out for drinks and bartenders do tricks with audience, while you sit impressed try to get a feel for the band's style. Finally, their set ended, and wait for the approach based on bandThe name of your label, but this is still super rock star on stage, packaging infinite strings and wiped each piece of equipment while they chat with each other as their set rocked.

If this're A & R experience, would you give up waiting to speak with these lazy musicians, go back to your brand and tell them about this band and especially these hot-shot rock star job updraft to Starbuck's to be forgotten until go to social security. This does not need. Learning to happen to get up, get up and grow. There will soon be the reputation of a simple modification to work with, professional, reliable band. After all, you never know who in the audience, you'll see in one night.
