Ice Nine Kills – TOUR TIPS

This new set of Tour Tips was written by the metal band, Ice Nine Kills. You can check out their tips for being on the road, after the break.

Touring is one of the best parts of being a musician, but that doesn’t mean that it’s without its trials and tribulations. So we here at Ice Nine Kills are going to give you some tour tips to live and die by.

1) Take Vitamins: Any musician will tell you that being sick while stuck on tour is a borderline tragic situation. Most times there is nothing you can do about it, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. Taking vitamins is a great way to fight back against these pesky little bastards known as “germs.” Flintstones’ multi vitamins will go a long way to keep you from reaching an early grave.
2) Don’t Drink… Too much: Let’s be honest, If you’re of legal drinking age (or even if you’re not), you’ve had a time in your life when you’ve drank one too many small batch bourbons. We all know what follows; the painful headaches, the upset stomach, and the exhaustion… but we do it anyways. Being on tour is not the best environment to fight a hangover. Sitting in a venue with super loud music (with some dude pig squealing) while trying to nurse a headache is worse than being forced to watch season 3 of Two and a half Men. We’re not saying don’t drink, just don’t drink too much. Trust us.
3) Apples: Apples are the fruit of God. That is not an exaggeration, its right there in the Bible. They can help ward off a whole string of diseases as well as evil spirits. Eat an apple a day or you will burn in hell for all of eternity.
4) Baby Wipes: Baby wipes are a must have for anybody on tour that has a butt hole. They come in handy in all sorts of situations and especially when you’ve forgotten to pack your curry colored underpants.
5) Call Your Family As Much As Possible: Touring can be difficult for those who actually love their family. I know when I call my Mom it brightens her entire day, just don’t call my Mom, or I’ll kill you.
