rules for bands:::

• if you are a small/no name band and become famous don't change, that's what made you good
• if you lose members/gain members, or even if you just change you image, DON'T redo your songs, because they will suck
• NEVER take an offer from Disney channel
• don't do the cover [especially of a rap song or from a musical] if you can't pull it off or add you own spin so it no longer sounds like that song what so ever
• If you are a alternative band, your band T's should look like death metal and scremo band T's, that dose not make you cool, it just makes you look like retards, not to mention how people look when they wear them
• don't totally change your image, you will loose true fans and gain fake ones, but i guess it is all about the money
• ONLY self title your first album, if even that!
• Try and do something new, that's never been done, weather it be your cd covers or where you do a concert
  
• do a charity concert once in a while, it will make you look good
• don't make every song be a love song, they get really old after a while
• don't makes every song be a 'omg, my life sucks' song, it will make you seem whiny
  
• have a variety of types of songs having to do with things love, heartbreak, good life, bad life, society, death and then maybe you could have a cd that actually tells the story of some ones life
• don't always stick to the same sound, branch out, try something different, go acoustic!
• listen to your fans, don't always do things for the money, because if you make you fans happy you'll stay successful longer
  
• try to get people from other bands to feature in a few songs, or get your band and another band to do a song together, it will be interesting
• make you music video's actually relate to your song, or at least make it interesting
• That's all for now
