Old and (sometimes) Forgotten Charters

[Jo2]

The quote below got me thinking....what other old charters can you think of?

Michael Heath (aka Fledderjohn) said:

Ah but I do believe there is a tradition or an old charter that states, "when ever a song goes disastrously wrong all members of the band should immediately turn their backs on the audience and stare at the drummer".


There's another old one that says if the lead guitarist is really bad, he must make use of the distortion and/or reverb pedals, and the sound engineer must crank the volume. The pedals and volume must be applied in relation to how bad he is.

Whether in the studio or live don't call the sound engineer a useless wanker until after the gig or studio session.

in rock concert settings at some point during the evening the lead singer and guitarist must do the back to back rock & roll lean...it's a law i'm sure it's written somewhere

again for rock and roll...the loudness of the music must remain in direct purportion to the tightness of the jeans and the size of the lead singers hair.

Or in some cases, their ego...

I'm pretty sure it's all inter-related but to explain it I'd have to pull out charts and diagrams :P
