salty missed a couple of valuable and very important pointers , heres my take for the top 10 , read carefully .............
1 M&M's - make sure that the green ones are discarded , otherwise they will affect the bands performance
2 Toilets - make sure that there is adequate amounts of dunny paper so that if a band member has the runs then they are safe and dont have to use the banner/backdrop
3 Cigars - make sure that the cigars you supply are genuine cubans rolled on the thighs of virgins
4 Candles - to make a metal band feel more with it and evil
5 A bucket - in case a band member is ready to huey ralph
6 A balanced drum stool /seat - so the drummer is comfortable and is balanced to dribble from both sides of the mouth, a milk crate will do if you are on a budget
7 Gaffa /Duct tape - to shut the vocalist up or for the nearest alley cat ( firecrackers needed as well for the cat , only a ginger one will do )
8 a bottle a cheap fish sauce - so when a band member gets drunk and makes a prick of themselves then passes out , you have something to condition their hair with , smells nice ( tuna oil at the nearest fishing shop will do as well )
9 a toaster - dont know why , just thought to add in a toaster
10 a packet of imodium - if a member is weak in the stomach , it is a good clog up ( worked for me when playing Wacken and had food poisoning )
now you are ready to be a promoter
