also, if you're playing in a city different than amsterdam, don't say "hellooooooooo amsterdaaaaaam!"... just don't. even if it's a small country you're in and you're probally less than an hour's drive away from amsterdam, it is STILL STUPID!
these mistakes of course can be easily avoided by sticking with savage clone's rule of never talking to the audience.

And a band should indeed avoid conversation with their audience as much as possible.You are there to play and entertain and not to be a comedian.
