ok.. thru my experience which i wanna share wif u... during onstage remain calm n concentrate on the song tht u perform n put up a good showmanship after all u want ppl to b entertain... day b4 it hav a good rest n ensure tht all equipment r fully prepared... well tht's all folks!! n good luck during ur performance.. c ya! :wink:
Tripping over cables and fall down, while performing.... :lol: Or even better trying to act real cool and jump to the beat while performing, and falling down. 
There is always the commom guitar falling off the strap, forgetting the lenght of the cable and pulled it loose......arrrgh no sound at the best part.
All these plus the string break problem can be prevented if reherasal done properly and improvement made to gear before the actual event.

hmm thats so true..falling on stage. I wanna try the thing malmsteen does , u know swing the guitar in a circle to get that motorcycle vibrato sound. Is there such a thing as a cordless cable?
Yeah, a wireless transmitter is a must get for the serious gigster, you sacrafice a bit of sound quality though, but in live situtation, normally the audience will not notice.
But again, must consider that there are still wire for everything else on the floor. So the performer must still be self aware when on stage. Unless you are a superstar, got tons of roadies at your beckoning.

worst thing that happened to me was a broken string, and it was my band's second last song, and we only had a classical-electric (dunno what it's called, those CGs with EQ and pickup) and i had to play a rock song through that..and i couldn't hold the guitar properly as i had no classical strap...lesson learnt was to either have a backup guitar, two pack of fresh strings, a string winder, and of course, a wire cutter...

dont ever ever screw up. if ure gonna scew up in school then ure dead.
For me to get a good showmanship is to get the feel of the song that ur going to perform..... Having a stage fright is the one u need to avoid coz that will spoilt all the showmwanship that ur doing n the rhythm n drums also plays n important part in the performance of a band together with the tightness of the sound effect........Lastly ROCK ON GUYS.........

Dont do something you dont want to do....be your self - don't worry about what the audience thinks, at all. If in the unlikely case of somone saying something, just tell them - 'were you on stage'?
