Hey guys.....

I'm needing some info really fast (at least one answer by sunday), luck has finally struck and now I have an audition date to see if I can join a band or not.
What is normal etiquette for auditioning for a hard rock/ metal band???
I know the normal stuff.... be sober, don't show up late, wear the clothing that matches with the style of music etc. etc....
BUT, are there any hidden rules I should know about???

Thanks!!

Congratulations! I wish you the best of luck!

Can't think of any hidden rules but just make sure you KNOW the songs like the back of your hand. Play them until your hands play them automatically so you can interact with the other members of the band.

Most bands will want to know if you look good on stage or not. And the only way to be relaxed is to know the material extremely well.
