Here are some of the more sacred and silly things musicians do before shows. Next time time you see one of your favorite acts phone-in a performance, you'll know some roadie is to blame for not having the chamomile tea ready before show time.

Stevie Nicks

Fleetwood Mac earned a huge reputation (and spent a huge amount of money) on booze and blow back in their heyday. It was their pre- and post-show ritual. Nicks kicked her drug habit years ago but still held onto her ritual of downing a shot of tequila before going onstage until she realized it was a lose/lose situation. It didn't make her drunk, and it messed up her stomach.
