At Yes last year, Dream Theater opened, and it was funny because from my seat I could easily see through the offstage screen....during every one of the many solo breaks the lead singer would walk off stage and smoke, and once he ran to a Porta-Potty. Now that's entertainment.

Yes. Why is this difficult for you to accept?

How does it work? I mean when you get hungry or have to take a piss? while playing your set so on?

 

 

I keep a plate of finger foods on the top of my amp rack. If I get the munchies, I just grab some cheese & crackers and keep on playing. If I need to take a whizz, I just grab my trusty piss bottle and fill 'er up (with my back to the audience of course).

Never leave the stage during a set. Get used to it. Yeah, it sucks.

 

Try to eat a couple of hours before you start the gig and only drink as much as you need to stay hydrated. I tend to drink too much water sometimes (I sing a lot) and have to suffer, holding a piss, quite frequently.

I don't know how it works for everyone else, but whenever I'm on stage playing generally food and having to take a leak or the last things on my mind.

How long are your sets? It's rare to go longer than two hours without a break and most club sets are an hour or less. If you have to eat on the gig, order on break and tell them you want it in an hour. Works for me.

If its an "emergency" I'm sure you and the band can come up with some way of covering for you for a few minutes . . . otherwise yeah, eat beforehand and don't drink too much before and during the set.

Don't set your drink on your rig!! Ever had a nice, sticky mixed drink fall all over your gear? Ugh...

Just do shots. Besides, with all that coke in your system, you really shouldn't have to eat.

 

Seriously, though...I cut a set short one time because my blood sugar got low. Guitarist was pissed at me till he found out what was wrong. Man that sucked.

Yeah...it was a joke, man. I don't do drugs, either.

 

I did find a new guitarist, actually. But for other reasons. He wasn't that pissed.
