Always as a musician you must have one thing you do well.

You never really know what's going to happen. You never know what the audience is going to be like or how they're going to behave.

You know, being in a rock band, you can't overdo the costume changes too much because everyone thinks, oh, that's not a real rock band. Look how many times he changes costumes. That's not rock.
