9. DON'T acknowledge one another's mistakes on stage

"If the guitar player or bass player or singer makes a big clinker on stage, don't show it," says Carlos. "Chances are, the audience didn't catch it. You'd be surprised at how the sound washes around in these huge halls and arenas.

"But if you look at your bandmate, like, 'What the hell was that?" well, he's going to give you a funny look, and before you know it, everybody's going to realize that something wrong went down - and then the crowd will too.

"If somebody makes a mistake, just keep playing. Because you know what? When you make a mistake - and you will, believe me you will - you're going to hope your bandmakes do the same thing. All for one, one for all. If somebody fucks up, keep right on playing."
