2. Make sure you don't sound like Black Sabbath at all even though you said that they're your musical influences.

7. Add another $50 if they are able to invent a new genre dedicated solely to your band -- ie. Death Metal Disco (Static X), Melodic-core (Thursday), Christian Rap Metal (POD).

8. Make sure that at least one of your band members have an existing side project, or at least planning to start one.

9. Ask your mom to go to the nearest "Ross" beauty shop to buy six boxes of Lander hair gel.
